Parkinson Couple | Northern Utah Family Photographer

We had a fantastic time getting to photograph this great couple. They were super easy to work with, so that is always nice on our part. The two of them were looking for a couple of nice headshots, and then some casual couple photos. And I think that what we captured turned out great.

Starting out, we took some formal headshots of them individually as well as together in the studio. They were looking so sharp, and their outfits complimented each other quite nicely. I love the way that all of their formal shots turned out.

After finishing the formal shots it was nice to relax a little and get into a more casual mode. This couple looks so sharp, even when in the casual setting! The use of the rustic wall complimented the color choice very well. When we ventured out into the foliage we were able to capture a few additional photos that offered more variety to the shoot.

We really enjoyed getting to work with the Parkinsons. They haven’t had pictures done with their family since around 1993, so this session was much needed. It was the perfect time to venture out and get some of just them. We will definitely have to get the whole family out here later! Special thanks to them for being such a great couple to work with, we hope to see you soon.

The Tuesday 10 | Studio Upgrades!

Today's Tuesday 10 Post comes just in the nick of time! While I was on vacation a few weeks ago, Andy my super handsome and AMAZING boyfriend took apart my studio and starting working on something even better! 

Here's what the studio looked like before I left. Notice the upgraded Backdrop stand that is hanging on the wall. Those changes were made since May when I did my Throw Back Thursday Post on having a new studio.. That post is here: http://photographybystaceymoss.blogspot.com/2014/05/throw-back-thursday-new-studio-logan.html

That was a HUGE upgrade from my plastic backdrop stand and I loved it! But then he took it down and started building the backdrop below. I had a few newborn sessions scheduled right when I got home so he didn't get a chance to finish because I needed my studio. 

This past Sunday he finished installing and I organized my studio. I love EVERYTHING about it! I need to take some close up pictures of it but these will have to do for now (and they are cell phone pictures). So here are 10 facts about the stand and the "new" studio. 

1. I love the shelves! I needed more space for additional props because my closet was seriously full so that free'd up a little room. I have them organized by boy, girl and neutral since I typically use the studio for newborns more than anything. 

2. I LOVE that ALL of my backdrops can now be stored right there on the stand (They aren't stored there yet I need to install them all on the dowels). The back half of the stand is made for storage while the front side is different height increments.  

3. It's super easy to change the height of the backdrops in seconds and without walking from one side of the stand to the other to adjust legs or without hitting the wall and dinging it up. 

4. It's super compact and tucked up to the wall VERY nicely. It gives me much more room than my portable one because I don't have legs in the way! 

5. I can get backdrops all the way to the ceiling as well as super close to the floor. It's much more versatile than my portable as well as the other wood one I had installed. 

6. It looks professional and amazing. Which ALWAYS help make a Photographer look good. 

7. Canvas prints have now been hung up in the studio, well two to be precise. I'm still debating on the other 2 I'm going to print. 

8. I have re-organized my prop storage and that means I have room for more. :) 

9. The couch is super comfy and comes in REALLY handy when Clients are in the studio! 

10. I feel relaxed, proud, and blessed to have such a wonderful work space to call my own. I know not every photographer is as lucky as I am and I'm truly thankful to have a studio in my house to call my own. 

The panorama option on my phone is a great option but it also misses alignment on a few things lol. 

For all you photographers out there who are interested in this same backdrop stand Andy is going to be making them and can install or ship/pick up as needed. Contact me today. I truly think it helped my workflow immensely.

Throw Back Thursday - New Studio! | Logan Utah Photographer

I can't imagine that anyone likes moving... or at least preparing to move. The picture below was our living room in August as we prepared to move from our Logan house to our recently purchased and new to us house in Hyrum. I was ecstatic to have a new house. If you know me personally you know that I lived with my parents for a few years after I was divorced then I moved into Andy's (My boyfriends) house in Logan.. To own a house that I could actually call my own was a VERY BIG DEAL for me. That was one of my hardest issues when I got divorced was leaving my house. I couldn't have been happier back in August when Andy and I purchased this house together. So the packing began... 

Then the move into our house. I seriously love it here. And to think when we were looking at houses that I didn't want to buy in Hyrum... I can't imagine us anywhere else. 

But one of the best parts about the new house, especially for my Photography business, is the room allocated just for my in home Studio. This is what it looked like during that first month. I wish I had a photo of the room at Andy's house I was using for my Studio but back then I didn't think about taking pictures to preserve my progress. 

The studio layout has changed about 5 times or so with minor additions or moving things but it's getting closer to the end and final Studio. I moved my desk and make room for a couch... 

I ordered a couch but brought one in from our living room to use until mine got here...

Here are some "Prepping for Session" pictures...

 And now... more changes are taking place! I'm super excited about them and pictures will be coming soon. If you haven't been in my home studio you are welcome to come check it out! Contact me to schedule an appt!
