Sanchez Family | Northern Utah Family Photographer

5:01 PM Posted by Unknown Antelope Island, Cache Valley Family Photographer, Family Photographer, Family Photos, Family Sessions, Outdoor Family Session No comments

This family shoot was full of beautiful people, and adorable kids! I am in love with every bit of this session! They had a great color scheme that fit perfectly into our location. We ended up with some stunning shots. Everything about it was just perfect!

Stacey met up with the Sanchez family in Clearfield, and then headed out to Antelope Island. This was her first time shooting out there, so she was super excited! We got a little nervous when the week before the shoot was scheduled the island caught on fire. Seriously I couldn’t believe our luck! I wonder how many photographers can say that their venue was on fire just days before they arrived??? Luckily we were still able to get to the island. Part of it was closed, but we were able to get some great pictures out of the area we found.

The Sanchez family was seriously fun! And let’s be honest, totally good looking! Picking a spot to fit the entire family proved to be a bit tricky, but I feel confident in saying the shots we got turned out perfect! When the sun started setting it added such warmth to the photos. It was a beautiful night and the mix of the scenery, and their colors created a combination that was almost to good to be true. Ah! I just can’t get over these shots!

This family is extra special to Stacey, because Jamee happens to be her sister. Stacey had the opportunity to photograph her and John’s wedding a few years ago. This summer John’s kids came up for two weeks, so we had to sneak in some family pictures. And I’m so glad we did! We hope this was as good of an experience for them as it was for us.

We’re so glad that we got to go and explore this new area, and we cannot wait to go back! Special thanks to Stacey’s niece, Jaycie, for coming along for the ride and giving a helping hand. We are also super grateful for the Sanchez family, and letting us capture some pictures of their amazing family. Hopefully we can snag some pictures of them again next time they are all together!

Navarro Family | Logan Utah Family Photographer

9:00 AM Posted by Unknown Cache Valley Family Photographer, Denzil Park, Family Photographer, Family Sessions, Logan Utah Family Photographer, Old Blue Barn, Outdoor Family Session No comments

We just love getting to do family pictures, and doing this family’s shoot was nothing short of great! The Navarro family gets their pictures done every year. I wish that I were that on top of things!! I do believe that our last family picture on my side was at our wedding, if that even counts! Hopefully Eliana likes what we did here with this years shoot.

Personally I LOVE this location! It provided some fantastic backdrops for this stunning bunch. We met at the Old Blue Barn in Providence. This is a great place to snap some family pictures, because the old barn provides such a classic rustic feel. After we snapped some quick shots at the barn we headed to Denzil Park in Logan.

At the park we broke down the larger group and got some pictures of the individual families. In addition to the individual shots, we captured some pics of just the boys and then just the girls in the family. We had a lot of different combinations, but I have to say that my favorite was with the kids and their balloons. It was such a creative idea to incorporate number balloons that signified the kid’s ages. It’s a fun and easy way to remember their ages when they look back on this year’s photos.

The Navarro family was so cute. And these kids were a blast! We look forward to capturing their family picture again in the years to come. It’ll be fun to see how much these great kids have changed, and experience the love this family has for each other. Thanks again Navarro Fam!!

The Tuesday Ten | Know You're an Aggie

11:50 AM Posted by Unknown The Tuesday Ten, Utah State University No comments

Today’s Tuesday Ten hopefully will bring you a little laugh. I stumbled across an article that talked about 15 signs you might have gone to Utah State. It sparked some creativity in me, and I decided to compile my own list of 10 ways to Know You’re an Aggie. So here is today’s Tuesday Ten! Are you an Aggie?

1. You enjoy “Cleaning the Sink” Logan just wouldn’t’ be complete without Angie’s! And as a student you really haven’t lived until you can show off your Angie’s bumper sticker. This local restaurant has a food challenge known as “Cleaning the Sink.” They bring out an actual sink that is overflowing with ice cream, toppings, and bananas. You, and some friends (Thank heavens you get help!) have to eat the entire thing! If you complete the challenge successfully you earn yourself a bumper sticker! It is quite the challenge, but one that is well known to us Aggies!!

2. Your favorite song involves Sagebrush I’ve spent countless hours walking around USU’s campus, and I’ve never once seen any sagebrush. However, it is known as the place “Where the sagebrush grows.” USU’s fight song is one that you can’t help but sing along to, and as an Aggie it is a time to lay all your pride out on the table. I still have no idea why we sing about USU as the place where sagebrush grows, but that won’t stop me from letting my “Aggie” show!

3. You’ve spent more time on the bus than your own vehicle. USU has a fantastic bus system, but you can’t ever count on it getting you anywhere fast. It always seems like when you are running late for class, so is everyone else. And then the bus isn’t working, traffic is backed-up, you need to switch drivers… and so on, and on, and on… What would have been a 10-minute walk, turns into a 30 minute bus ride. Gotta love those Aggie shuttles!

4. Speaking of busses… You have been so close to someone on that bus that you can tell what they have in their backpack! During the winters Logan turns into a mini Antarctica. FREEZING! No one is going to walk to class because you will either get hypothermia or you’ll slip and fall on your bum, not once, but multiple times! Because of these associated risks EVERYONE takes the bus. When you think that there is no way even one more person can get on the bus, on squeeze ten more! You know you’re an aggie when the closest you’ve ever been to a stranger was on one of these winter bus rides.

5. You went to Taste of Logan to beat the hunger, and came home hungrier? It sounds like the greatest event ever! As a Freshman you flock to Main Street to try all of the local restaurants’ food. However, the only thing they give you are little cookies, apples, or some ice cream. You never get any “real” food, and you are battling thousands of other people for a popsicle. As an upperclassman you go more to watch the little freshman, or to just spend time with friends. Either way you don’t go to fill yourself up!

6. Why doesn’t the library have another door?! You have to walk clear around the building to get to the one set of doors. Then you walk to the back of the library to study, and then trek your way back to the front to get out. Everyone would save some time and frustration with another set of doors. To avoid the problem you end up just studying at home.

7. Walks through the cemetery are a regular thing. If you are ever trying to get from one side of campus to the other you know that the cemetery is the best shortcut there is. And you are never alone on your trek… and no I’m not talking about the deceased. Lots of students use the cemetery as a regular path in-between classes or home.

8. Your rent budget for the month includes puppies! Yes you read correctly. Renting puppies! This is a more recent Aggie fad, but one that has really taken over. Puppies for Rent was a genius idea where people can pay to rent puppies by the hour. Then if you just fall in love with the pup, which there is a good chance you will, you can become their forever home! Students love to rent pups because it allows them to get their puppy fill without breaking the no pets rule in dorms!

9. You have done anything to avoid eye contact during elections week. During elections week you will be asked to vote at least 15 times just in-between your first class. If you can avoid making eye contact you can sometimes cut that number in half, and decrease the amount of awkward conversations. If you haven’t mastered the art of avoiding eye contact plan on it taking double the time to get to class. My best advice is to just vote! That way you can dodge any unwanted conversation with the simple phrase “I already voted” *Cue Smile

10. Full moons are important! Every full moon signals the beginning of true aggie night, as well as the challenge of becoming an ultimate aggie, for those who are a little more adventurous. True aggie night is where way to many students stand in line in the freezing cold all night, so that they can kiss someone up on the famous A. Thus becoming a true aggie! To become and ultimate aggie you must ride the bull statue in the nude. A little to much for me, but I can say that I’m a true aggie with my sweet husband J So if you are single you better find your way to campus on the next full moon!

There are Pros and Cons to every college, but at USU the good definitely outweighs the bad. Being an Aggie is and honor, and USU will always have a special place in our hearts. I mean who doesn’t love the spot where the sagebrush grows???.... So after all of this. Are you an Aggie?
