Last week, Suzanne got all dolled up for her bridal session. I loved photographing her & Seth for their engagement session: they were all giggles & smiles. This day was no different. Suzanne has a talent for radiating on the inside AND out. Doesn’t she look incredible? She was a trooper as mosquitoes swarmed her, resulting in red welts on her arms & neck and yet she still was up for anything I suggested. I am super excited for her wedding that’s only a few short weeks away!
And, a big THANKS to Tara Winsor for assisting me. Couldn’t have done it without her help

On our second day at Island Park, instead of driving into West Yellowstone again or the Tetons (which were hours away), a group of us ventured to Mesa Falls. Again, it was a bit overcast & chilly but the rain held up and we were able to enjoy a wonderful afternoon at the falls.
It starts out with the main overlook close to the parking area. Then, there’s a short hike to another waterfall with some gorgeous scenic overlooks. My friends are good sports for letting me photograph them. What a fun weekend!

A couple weeks ago, I went to Island Park, Idaho, with a bunch of friends. After arriving late Thursday night, we woke up to a beautiful, picturesque scene right out the back door of the cabin we were staying. A gorgeous lake with its own mini dock complete with a paddle boat & canoe, billowing clouds with brilliant blue sky peeking through, and the whistle of a breeze blowing through the trees.
I was waiting with bated breath for the rain to come, but we lucked out! Despite some clouds & wind, we had great weather for exploring West Yellowstone. It was my first time up there and I LOVED it!
Unfortunately, when we went to see Old Faithful, we just barely missed it. We waited for an hour and froze as the temperature had dropped & the wind was blowing even harder. It wasn’t too spectacular with the gray, overcast skies. But, now I can cross it off my list, right? 
On our way back to the cabin, we stopped by some old buildings by the side of the road. It looked like a garage, restaurant, and mini motel that were completely abandoned. We made it back to Island Park just in time for an intense, gorgeous sunset overlooking the lake.

I was really excited to photograph Guinn’s high school graduation party. Besides the fact that her mom always throws incredible parties, this particular group of kids is quite exceptional. They are classy, fun, intelligent, tight-knit, and there is no doubt they will all do amazing things in the years to come.
Congratulations on your graduation!

A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Guinn’s graduation party. This is one of many amazing events hosted by Kaye that I have been able to photograph. As usual, it was a big success. The flowers, the food, the juice bar, the special sugar cookies, plus the amazing summer weather made it a perfect evening. Here are some of my favorite detail shots. Be sure to check out the candid shots on my next post!

I am turning 29 in a few weeks. July 12th, to be exact.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m not too excited about turning 29, as it’s the last year I will be in my 20s. I might as well be turning 50 and officially ‘over the hill’. Maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but that’s how I feel.
To help me forget about my birthday, I am doing the 2nd Annual Celebrating Life Series!
For the month of July, I will photograph 22 people — from the awesome age of 29 to the mature age of 50. Last year, I photographed 28 people from the ages of 1 to 28 to celebrate life from childhood to adulthood. I figure this year I can focus on what lies ahead, what I have to look forward to.
As my gift to you, I would like to offer a free session to the first person (for each age) who sends an email to celebrate@threewinksstudio.com. Include your NAME and AGE in the subject of the email. In the body of the email, write your name, phone number, a little blurb about yourself, and one picture. Each session will come with an 8 1/2 ×11 fine art print and will be approximately 15 minutes. (Please let me know your availability in conjunction with your scheduled date in your email to me)
As your gift to me, instead of paying the regular session fee, I ask that you donate $25 to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. I’m all about WIN — WIN — WIN scenarios
I’m hoping to shoot every Wednesday evening starting at 7pm from June 23rd to July 14th. Here is a run down of the shooting schedule. Please take these dates and times into consideration before you submit your name. There will be a waiting list for each age so if someone can’t come on their designated day, their spot will automatically go to the next person in line. Again, it is first come, first serve.
June 23rd — Ages 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34
June 30th — Ages 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40
July 7th — Ages 41, 42, 43, 44, 45
July 14th — Ages 46, 47, 48, 49, 50
Here are some images from last year. Please help me spread the word this year so I can fill all the ages!

Boy have I been excited to share these pictures with you!
I took Suzanne and Seth’s engagement pictures a couple of weeks ago at Lagoon.
Now, you have to know that I am a fan of amusement parks. A BIG fan. So much so that I have gone to Lagoon the past 3 years on my birthday. Every time I am there, I imagine all the amazing pictures I could take with all the fun backgrounds. It’s chock full of great places!
Anyways, back to the main point of my post… I was stoked when Suzanne suggested doing her engagement session there. We were able to go on a Tuesday when the park was closed, so we had full access to everywhere. Except for the rain, it was a perfect day.
We started out in Pioneer Village with this sweet 1930s hot rod. Suzanne has a picture of her grandparents in front of an old car so it was fun taking part in creating another family heirloom. We then worked our way throughout the park. We shot for almost 3 hours and if it hadn’t been for the rain, I’m sure I would have kept shooting for even longer. I loved spending time with these two. They were both comfortable and natural in front of the camera, plus Seth has a way of making Suzanne laugh. They are so stinkin’ cute together and I am even more excited for their wedding coming up in July. I know there are a lot of pictures for you to look through, but I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed taking them
