For: Harold

Saturday evening was warm and pleasant: a perfect night for a party. Harold (you may remember him from photos at Marilyn’s Retirement Celebration) decided it was his turn to retire from the University of Utah Orthopaedics. His fabulous wife planned a sweet, small gathering of close friends to celebrate. She gave him a beautiful painting of the Salt Lake Valley, which is almost the exact same view of the Valley I took from the backyard (at the bottom of the post) but it’s stunning.

Zydaan + Spiderman

Today was awesome! It made me want to be a kid again…

I photographed Zydaan’s 5-year birthday party. He had tons of cool friends, snow cones, a pinata, and Spiderman came! Spiderman gave everyone a quick superhero training course and had the kids do push-ups, sit-ups, and jumping jacks with him. Then he gave them a ride on his ‘web’ rope. Spiderman did magic tricks which enthralled everyone and then he made everyone a balloon sword or butterfly.

Happy Birthday Zydaan! Here’s a SLIDESHOW with more images from your fun day.

Birthday Bash, Riveting Ranch

Stacy — Mon, 14 May 2007 02:06:00 +0000

Saturday evening, I had two fun activities to attend — my friends birthday bbq and a party at a ranch.

It’s always fun to see old friends and have an excuse to see each other. It seems like there isn’t enough time these days to always see each other or keep in touch as much as we’d like. So, we find excuses to get the gang together, and birthdays are one of these excellent plans ;) Happy Birthday to Jessica, April, and Mendy! Thanks for being such awesome friends to me. I love you guys!

P.S. The beautiful girl in most of these pictures is Namda (hope I spelled it right). She is half Tibetan and is simply adorable! Every time I see her, she is more and more darling.

Unfortunately, I had to leave the birthday party early…but I went to this awesome Young Single Adult Party up at a Ranch in Brown’s Canyon (close to Kamas, UT). It was such a beautiful evening. A big crowd went outside for some skeet shooting and then I went down into the fields to take some pictures of their horses. Horses are magnificent creatures and it was exciting to walk up close to them. Here are some of my favorites from the evening. Thanks to the Roger’s for sharing their Ranch with us!

Celebrating Marilyn

On Saturday night, I had the wonderful opportunity of photographing Marlilyn Smolka’s Retirement Dinner. It took place at the Dunn’s beautiful home which overlooks the Salt Lake Valley. Marilyn is leaving the University of Utah Orthopaedics Department after working there for over 20 years. It was a night filled with hugs, laughter, and reminiscing.

Here are some of my favorites from the night. CLICK HERE to view a SLIDESHOW with more images.

50 years and counting…

Meet the Shields Family. They’ll make you feel right at home.

Yesterday, Maria celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary with her husband. All her children and close friends gathered together for this special occasion. Some of them hadn’t seen each other for 8 years. For others, it had been 25 years! What a glorious day full of laughter, hugs, reminiscing, bonding, playing, eating, and pictures. I was privileged to be a part of their festivities.

Here are some of my favorites. To see more, watch this SLIDESHOW!
