Miss Riverton 2013

I have always loved working with the Miss Riverton Pageant based locally in Utah.  This is a scholarship pageant through the Miss America Organization.  The last two years I have had the pleasure of working with the current Miss Riverton one on one to create a display showcasing their work over the past year.  I just wanted to share this fun display with you all as this organization has played a huge roll in my life over the past 5 years.  Each year a platform is created, which explains what service you would like to provide to the community if you are chosen.  This year the platform was "Literacy: Window to the World".  I loved playing off of this and using items such as book pages, books, and our typewriter all in a fun color scheme to tie in Miss Riverton's platform.  I enjoyed setting this up as it is something outside of my usual line of work!  Maybe next year you will have to stop by and see the newest display for yourself! -J

Monkeyface Photography Part 2: Maternity

Today's feature is the second part of my photo shoot with Heidi from Monkeyface Photography.  Sorry, no more cute baby photos for now!  But I had so much fun working on these displays and with these models.  We did some maternity shots, and I think they turned out great!  I wanted to create a more elegant scene in some with the chaise lounge and our chair.  While in others, you can see a relaxed picnic theme.  I tried to incorporate some item's you wouldn't see at a picnic shoot for an engagement session such as: children's books or a wagon.  Do you see the theme I am trying to incorporate here?  I enjoyed working with both of these models and am so grateful for them taking the time out of their hectic schedule to stand on their feet for a long while to work Heidi and myself on this project, thank you.  -J

Monkeyface Photography Collaboration Part 1

Hello!

Wedding season hits me and then it's go go go all summer long, and June is no exception!  I absolutely love it and wouldn't have it other way, but it takes me away from 2 things.  First, I end up with little time to post on the blog.  I am sorry, I promise to try and do better! Second, I don't have the opportunity as much as I would like to work with families in different stages of their lives other than marriage.  It was so nice to step outside of the box for a weekend and work with Heidi from Monkeyface Photography on two different photo shoots.

Today I am featuring our shoot focused on newborns.  I wanted to showcase some of the fun items we have that I have been dying to use with some darling babies!  ....I didn't buy an infant scale for a wedding you know!  The best part is I have plenty of inventory, and we didn't even use it all!  Don't you worry, I plan to do another newborn photo op. whenever I get the next chance!  So many ideas are spinning in my head now.  I hope this inspires you as much as it did me.  So get creative with our vintage pieces and tie them into your own special occasions and big moments in life; birth of a baby, a wedding, or whatever they may be!  .....Enjoy!
