Fun with Photoshop

 
Okay, so I think I had a little bit too much fun with Photoshop the other day:)

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Just had to do a quick post of these because I love the snow day pictures. More about these later.

Top 20?

I never know how much weight to put on something like this, but since there is somewhere around five gazillion photographers in Salt Lake City, I thought it was nice. Anyway, I was listed as one of the "20 Incredible Portrait Photographers of Salt Lake City" in this blog for Digital Photography Magazine.

Wilkinson Wedding

So I'm a little behind on the posting, big surprise coming from me...hee-hee. So enough excuses and lets get right to the meat of the matter. What am I posting now?

Below are a few images from a wedding I did waaaaaay back in September. I was lucky enough to be asked by Lisa and Steve to capture their wedding day and it was Gorgeous! The wedding was held at Rose Sach's Garden up Parleys Canyon. I have lived in the Salt Lake Valley my whole life and I had never heard of Rose Sach's Garden before. WOW what I have missed! Waterfalls, rock walls, scenic mountains, endless bridges, rock pathways, lots and lots of steps it was a photographers play-land. I had a lot of favorite images from my time with Steve, Lisa and their friends and family but I have to admit that first image you see captured the whole experience. The color of the environment, the lighting provided by nature, the accent colors of the sash and bouquet and my favorite of all the "Mona Lisa" expression worn perfectly by the bride. Timeless beauty! Thank you Lisa and Steve!

California Here I Come!

On Facebook I had mentioned babies, families and weddings OH MY! So lets back up to July. So many highlights but tonight I am going to focus on the Weddings Oh My!

Matt and Jen-Jen got married WHATWOOO! The best part of the wedding, besides their eternal bliss, is that I got to play wedding photographer. Oh wait, that is not the best part.....the best part was that the wedding was in LA, as in California! OH YEA!

I was in and out of LA rather quickly but I had a great time and came home with some unforgettable memories.

The ceremony was in the LA Temple while we were waiting for the couple greet family I stepped behind the iron doors to see what it would look like to the bride and groom as they exited the temple.

I later learned from the nice temple worker that I was breaking the rules by stepping behind those doors. But I do love the image! :)
I was so fascinated with the skyline around the temple. The sky scrappers were so awesome to play with....I loooved it!
So the last bit I have to say about this is NEVER give the groom the camera! He thought he was so cleaver snapping this image. Thank you Matt :p I guess that is what I deserved after a long day of sticking the camera in his face. Moving on.......to see more images from Matt and Jen's wedding day check out my photos on my FB page.

It's School Portrait Time!

Game On!

It has been AWESOME these last few weeks. My Baby Plan is in full "swing" and I swear I have only seen beautiful, yummy babies. I have also had some very athletic parents...notice the mini batting helmet and the Utes football helmet. "GO UTES". So all I can say is GAME ON! I look forward to meeting these little fellas in a few months for Round Two when they are about three months. Yes, they look sleepy now but I am sure I will get a RUN or two in the months to come! I wonder who will be sleepy then....=)

I want MoRe!

I had a blast with Chelesa! Thank You, Thank You for some amazing images! This gets me so stoked for up coming Seniors. Give me a call.....I want MoRe!!

Boys Will Be Boys

How do you get a barely three year old little boy to sit still for a photo shoot? You don't!

Birthday Celebrations

I love birthdays! I just celebrated one.....yipee. I was so lucky this year to have two newborns come to see me the week of my birthday. What is better than birthday cake and babies?

A Little Artwork

Alright Angela - this is for you. One of these days I will improve on my updating skills. LOL. There is no such thing as cookie cutter photography. It never works. Trust me I have tried. I collect templates like some collect FB friends. Although I have literally hundreds of templates at my fingertips to cut and paste images into with the intention to cut down my editing time, I found myself once again having way too much fun creating a little more artwork. Yes, I could have placed each of these images into a pre-designed template but heck, these are unique images that needed their own unique personal artwork. I realize that mom may never hang these artwork images on her wall but I just couldn't help it, I love creating a little artwork almost as much as I love making photos!

Guitar Hero

I LOVE GUITAR HERO! This is probably a fact that you really didn't need to know about me but it is true! When this mom showed up with a red electric guitar I couldn't get enough. I want my own! Thanks mom for bringing your little guitar heros, I had a way too much fun!!

Baby's First Year

I have been dreaming about putting together a Baby's First Year Photography Series for a long time and I just finished the poster today. YEA! Check it out! If you know anyone who may be expecting a baby this year, pass the word on. This is a great deal for a whole years worth of portraits for a new baby.
The frame I had custom made just for this series is BEAUTIFUL. I got it friday and just put the pictures in on Monday and now I am in love........ Of course I have to thank Amy, at "Posh on a Penny", for having such fabulous frames for me to choose from, but it turned out better than the image in my head. I love it when that happens.
OH yea, I now have a referral program in place. For all of you who share my name look for a little something in the mail when someone you referred, calls to book with me:) Mary Kim Photography would not be what it is today without all of you. Thank you, thank you!

Ohh La La
