It’s days like these that I LOVE being a photographer! Isn’t Natalie just beautiful?
Natalie kept telling me how she didn’t like being in front of the camera and how she was nervous, but she was a complete natural. She has an amazing smile which is a killer combo with her rich green eyes. I had an extremely difficult time narrowing down which shots to put on my blog….
We initially planned on doing the shoot outside, but as the day got closer, we became concerned about the weather being too cold. Instead of rescheduling, Natalie met me at my studio. These were all taken in the lobby area, which actually gave us tons of different backgrounds and surfaces (more than I thought there would be). I am so happy with these photos. Which ones are your favorites?

I am selling my G5 Tower because I purchased a new laptop a couple months ago and now I don’t really have a need for my G5.
Here are the specs:
Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5
2.5 GB DDR SDRAM
Superdrive
Airport Extreme Card
Apple Cinema Display (LCD)
1680 x 1050 resolution
This is an AWESOME computer and is in very good condition.
Send an email to stacy@threewinksstudio.com and give me an offer, or if you email me a a serious request, I will quote you a price.
thanks!

Continuing on with my previous post, here are pictures of Amber from my studio shoot.
Amber has amazing chestnut red hair and striking green eyes. She also has a gorgeous smile. I was seriously so fortunate to get these two on the same night! I was a big fan of the black & white screen that Amber posed in front of…it fit perfectly with her style and outfit.
Thanks again you two!

Last night, I was lucky enough to have both Sharlee and Amber at my studio. I wanted to play with lights and new backgrounds and I was so excited when they agreed to be my models!
Sharlee is beautiful. Her caramel brown eyes are incredible! I also love her smile, which she probably didn’t think so because I kept making her give me a more serious look…but as you can see, when she smiles it’s stunning.

This last Saturday I was able to take pictures of my little sister, Sara. My mom has gotten on this kick of getting a picture of everyone on the wall (something that hasn’t been done since we were all in Elementary School). Since Sara was home for the weekend from college, we decided it would be the perfect chance to go out.
Sara loves the color red. She also loves shoes. It was totally fitting for her to wear red shoes. We started out by the red garage door and then explored some new locations that I’ve been eying for a while now.
I was also excited that she wore her blue shirt because it really accentuated the color in her eyes. Everyone I know is jealous of Sara and her gorgeous blue eyes.
At the end of our shoot, we were greeted by Dan, a nice man who owns the building we were in front of. He led us inside to an old Harley Davidson Moped from the 50s and an awesome door. I couldn’t have done it without his help as my assistant, holding the flash for me. It was fun to go somewhere completely unexpected!

Last Friday, I had my nephews come over to build a snowman with me. James was so excited — after he had his snow clothes on, he tried running around, but kept tripping and running into things (picture the younger brother on A Christmas Story, but not as bad).
Will and James were so stinkin’ cute! They kept throwing snowballs at me while I was rolling our snowman together. And they were eating snow like it was candy. We made snow angels and caught snowflakes on our tongues. Playing in the snow is the best!

Nicole and Rich had a beautiful wedding on January 3rd. It was nice that we had already taken some great shots of the two of them together a few weeks ago, so they only had to endure the cold for a short time. Nicole seriously looked like a Princess. When we were in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, a little girl even said to her mom, “She’s a Princess,” while she looked up at Nicole with awe.
You can totally feel the love that Rich and Nicole have for one another — the laughter, the tender glances, the kindness in how they treat each other. I am so happy for these two and wish them the best in this next phase of their lives!

Last Saturday, the Stevenson Family came down to my studio (which hasn’t officially been announced yet). We decided that since the temperature outside was freezing, it would be best to take some inside and then venture out in the cold. These guys were so great to work with. I loved Savannah and Austin’s enthusiasm when we took their individual pictures. They’ve both got mad jumping skills! I was also excited about shooting by this killer teal wall that I’ve been wanting to use as a background for a while…so thanks guys!

Happy 2008!
I have a few resolutions this year. I figured it was best to post them on my blog so that I can be held accountable 
1. Go running 3 times a week (or some other form of exercise) and train for a half marathon. I decided that I need a little better motivation other than Lance Armstrong congratulating me on my iPod after a good workout (anyone else have a Nike + iPod chip?) This year I want to actually train for something to help me stay in shape. I think a half marathon is a good goal.
2. Keep my desk clean and go through my mail more than once every two months. I really have serious issues with sorting my mail. I always check the mail to take out the important stuff, but I let my stack build up and then it takes forever to go through…so this year I am going to stay on top of this formidable task.
3. Read more. I have a stack of books next to my bed — some for business and some for pleasure — but it takes a long time for me to get through a book. I just don’t ever make time for it.
4. Be less critical of myself (and others). I am especially critical of myself. I am not a perfect person, but who is? This year, I will give myself the benefit of the doubt. And, I will have more patience with others, even if they’re doing something a different way than I would do it
5. Photograph for myself, not my clients. I want to have at least one shoot a month that is strictly for my portfolio or to try something new. I want to push my creativity and think outside of the box.
6. Play the guitar more. I love playing the guitar. For some reason, I cannot play it consistently. I’ll play for a few weeks or months and then I let work and other commitments get in the way. I want to devote more time to this because it’s a great way to experess myself and it’s wonderful release.
7. Live life. It’s easy for me to worry too much, think too much, or work too much. I’m going to live in the present and just enjoy life!
Ok, that’s all for now. Can’t put down too many resolutions or I won’t follow through on any of them

Allie and Randal had a beautiful wedding on December 28th. Allie has impeccable taste. She wore a beautiful cream colored, vintage gown with her hair done in a ’20s style. It looked stunning. We took a few pictures at the Timpanogos Temple before heading up to the McCune Mansion in Salt Lake City. This was my first time shooting at the McCune, and it was incredible. There were so many amazing places to photograph the bride and groom! (Even the bathroom was a great place for a photo op) Everyone danced the night away and had a grand time.
