Morgaine Owens’s Beautiful Family

jefra starr linn — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 21:24:48 +0000

While I was in Vegas in February I was able to visit with my dear friend, Morgaine Owens and meet her sweet family. There’s such a serenity to her and her life and her photography. She’s one of those people who I just connected with from the very first. In September she came to Utah and while she was here she shot my family. Probably the very first family session we’ve ever had and one of the reasons for that is that I’ve never found anyone who shares my vision quite like her. What a gift she gave us. I adore you Morgaine.

behind the scenes…

just thought I’d share a few behind the scenes shots from our last Twisted Silver shoot.

Setting the scene – it was very cold (unheated building in late November) and we shot for a few hours. All of our noses were dripping by the end of the shoot. The girls were total troopers and stuck in there for us.

and here are a just a few from the shoot

Hobnobbing in LA

This week I flew out to LA in Hollywood and shot for Debbie at Twisted Silver at a celebrity gifting event. The event was a pre-show gifting suite at the Bliss Spa at the W Hotel. The show was later that night for Kelly Nishimoto‘s launch of her newest fashion line.

Here are some shots from the night…

Talking with Dancing With The Stars Karina Smirnoff and her stylists.

Singer/songwriter Meiko tries out Twisted Silver – she was darling. Very earthy and real.

Twisted owner/designer Deb with Tenley (from the Bachelor)

the lovely Kelly Nishimoto herself

Trish Suhr. Who I liked SO MUCH. She was darling. She's on a cleaning tv program I think.

another gal who I wasn’t sure who she was, but I’m sure someone out there knows who she is. They said she was on the Disney Channel.

Derek, the chef behind the most excellent cookies from a company called The Cravory. They have over 900 cookie flavors!

Damien Wayons and Kelly Nishimoto. Damien had the sweetest shoes on – pewter colored hi-tops. I gushed about them to him and he expressed concern that I might mug him for his shoes…) He was one of my favorites from that night.

Debbie helping Damien on with some mens Twisted SIlver

Debbie on camera!

So after the gifting suite we ate (cause it had been all day) and our feet were killing us so we went up to the second floor that overlooks the location of the show and ate and watched there. It was much warmer and more comfortable.

The crowd gathers below waiting for the show to begin...

I was too cold and too tired to be outside and watch the red carpet (which was really pink fur) so I watched it from inside)

There were so many other people there and we had so much fun. I just can’t wait to do more!

Spark 2

A new post was way too long overdue. So sorry.

So my friends decided to keep the Spark alive and invited me to visit for a lovely dinner and concert (by the PHENOMINAL Mindy Gledhill – i’m now a stalker of hers) on Friday night. They went above and beyond our last Spark event. It was amazing. Let me just say that there were bicycles hanging from the ceiling — that pretty much says more than I could say using a thousand words.

So anyway. I took some pictures and wanted to share them with you.

all this stuff was hanging from the ceiling in the main dining room. I can’t even fathom the amount of work that must have went into decorating the event.

Dear Lizzie handled all the market stuff this time around and set up a beautiful temporary shop at Noahs.

Mini Classes were available

Liz Kartchner and Lori Ward of Miss Ruby Sue

Margie introducing Mindy

Oh my gosh it was so cold that night!

local celeb, Kirby came to watch Mindy sing and did a little bonding with the girls too.

I’ve missed blogging. I feel like I’ve been working on top secret projects for way too long.

my friend and fellow photographer, Rebecca Mudrick came out to UT with her family this past month. I felt pretty honored that they asked me to shoot their family. She, her husband and her four boys were up for anything (literally – we met at 6.45am) so we hit Utah Lake with a picnic breakfast and some Krispy Kremes and had lots of fun.

this one was Reb’s fabulous idea…

just one

this pic is probably one of my top favorites…i just love it. it was completely serendipitous. there was this little tiny front yard on the backside of one of our main street buildings.

and more…

megan’s – the Sweet Tooth Fairy’s :) – kids….

I adore Megan of the Sweet Tooth Fairy and recently she contacted me to commission some photos for the walls of her new store in Draper. Of course there would be Megan there and STF Cupcakes so I drove pretty fast to get there.

Anyway – I wanted to do something that was a bit dreamy and Meg wanted something a big vintage-y and I wanted them to look sweet too.
