{Sainsbury}

Today, the Sainsbury family and I weathered the storm for our photoshoot on the Spanish

Fork fairgrounds. Despite the freezing temperature and biting wind, the kids were so pleasant

and smiled perfectly for the camera! What more could a photographer ask for?

Cami met me at the UVU women's expo and we have been planning to go out for pictures

for some time. I'm glad it finally worked out with everyone's busy schedules.

I just couldn't get enough of these adorable kids and their mom had them dressed so darling!

Thank you Cami!

The Richards family and I headed up the mountain in Pleasant Grove to get some family

pictures this last week. The lighting was perfect thanks to the overcast sky and,

while we had a strong-willed little one at first, mom and dad gave her some

fruit snacks and I have never seen a mood change so quickly! :)

From lack of time, I have posted just a few from our photoshoot.

Isn't she just the cutest?

Emma is such a darling girl and it was an absolute pleasure taking

her pictures this last week! We went to Wheeler Farms in Sandy. I have

never been there before but loved all the fun picture backdrop options they had.

Emma was so pleasant, as you can see, and I was happy to get so many good shots.

Thank you to everyone that entered! We had 49 altogether, a much larger response than

I had anticipated. And the comments were so kind! Thank you to everyone.

Just so everyone knows, I did choose the winner randomly. AND... the winner is

{COURTNEY BELLISTON!}

Congrats on your free photo shoot :) I cant wait to take pictures of your cute family

after your first baby arrives.

pictures year-round. (Especially for those of you with newborns). I will have all kinds

of fab backgrounds and props to make your photo shoot extra special and unique.

Thank you again to everyone!

Here are just a few more from andrew & sutton's wedding. What a beautiful

wedding! And I especially loved all of Andrew's sisters and their

darling outfits.

{canvas}

Who doesn't love canvas? It's so rich with color, depth & texture. I started printing on

canvas early this year and have vowed I will never go back to photo paper!

{Also, just a quick plug for my canvas printing-best prices in town!}

I've seen a couple photographers edit their photos with a canvas-like texture around

the edges which can be such a beautiful addition to a beautiful photograph.

So I have been working to come up with my own version and am pleased to

now offer a canvas edges option for my clients. I know I have already posted

a lot of shots from this photo shoot but I absolutely love the colors. So here is a sample!

Click the picture to see it larger.

My include-all {photo shoot, edited & non-edited shots along with copyright privileges}

prices will stay the same and the canvas edges will be just another service included

in that price. I just LOVE finding good deals and want each of my clients

to feel like they are getting the very best value for their photography investment.

from me to you :)

{korbi}

Korbi and I met at the UVU women's expo and have been planning on going

out to get pictures of her ADORABLE kids for a couple of weeks. I was

excited to go out yesterday afternoon {despite the freezing cold weather!} to

get some fun fall shots of her kids. They were all such good sports- even

her youngest :) Here is a preview to this darling family.

{new name}

When I started out almost a year ago, my intention was to focus my work and attention on making frames. But after framing my own photographs, I found a large amount of people asking about those as well. Now that my photography side of things has grown (much to my surprise!) I decided I needed a name more descriptive of that side of things. And so... introducing...

I love the name! I've been excited to put in on my pictures too :) So here are a few more shots from my photoshoot this week. Enjoy!

And, in case you were wondering, my frame side of things will still be Chrissy Marie Design. Eventually, I will have separate websites for the frames and photography but there will be ONE main page to navigate from. But for now, all my photos and frames will be found here and at www.chrissymariedesign.com.
