One of my own… {Heber City Utah Childrens Photographer}

January 23, 2010

I get asked all the time if I have a ton of pictures of my own kids.  Sadly I always have to respond, “No.” Since I am always taking pictures of other people’s kids, I never take the time to photograph my own children.  I hope to change that this year and give them equal time in front of the camera.  Here is my gorgeous 4 1/2 year old daughter.  She is my sweet, shy, caring one that is the peacemaker in our house.  She can play for hours with any of her siblings and get along great.  We love her!

Anne: MY favorite session of yours ever!~ Perfect soft light...but, you're making me miss spring even more than I already do....

Amylee: She is absolutely stunning! She looks like one of those old fashioned movie stars- think Marilyn Monroe. Love it. Love her!

Loopty Loo Designs {Salt Lake City Photographer}

January 16, 2010

I had the pleasure of doing a commercial shoot for Loopty Loo Designs.  They make and sell gorgeous hats, headbands, hair clips, tutus, and bags for both children and adults.  We had a great set of models that did great through the long hours it took to get all of their products photographed.

Check out Loopty Loo Designs at http://looptyloodesigns.blogspot.com OR at their ETSY store at http://www.etsy.com/shop/looptyloodesigns

Here is a small sampling of the products they are going to launch in the next few weeks.

Giving is Awesome! {Utah Family Photography}

November 23, 2009

You know someone. You know someone who’s experienced a tragedy, is struggling to stay afloat, is raising kids while holding down more than one job, or is volunteering selflessly despite extenuating personal circumstances. You know someone who can’t afford custom photography, but who would cherish it this holiday season. You know someone who deserves a year-round reminder of their family’s spirit, love, and beauty.

You know someone. I guarantee it.

I want to know who they are, and I want to give them the chance to experience complimentary custom photography — over $1200 worth, to be exact. The winner will receive a complimentary session with Means A Lot Photography, a 16×20 gallery wrapped canvas print, and a CD containing all of the high resolution digital files with print release.

Oh, and the best part? The person who nominates the winner receives a free session and one digital file. What better reason to show some love could there possibly be, people?

The rules:

* You cannot nominate yourself, and the person nominated must sincerely be incapable of purchasing my services. (Being unable to make mortgage payments for a two-million-dollar-vacation-home in Paris does not qualify as sincere financial need.)

* The nominee must reside within a 1 hour drive of Heber City, UT. Tell me who you know, what they’re experiencing, and why they deserve my artwork. Please include a way to contact both your nominee and yourself as well.

* The winning session will take place before July 31, 2010.

If you don’t know someone that could use this, pass the link on! Post it on your blog, facebook, myspace, email it to your friends and family because I’m sure they could spread the love to someone they might know.

* You must e-mail me the full story : laurameans@me.com.  Please put “giving is awesome” in the subject line.

The deadline for nominations is Tuesday, December 15, 2009.  The winner will be announced on Christmas Eve — so get nominating! I can’t wait to read all of your entries!

Open your heart to someone this holiday season — and thanks for giving me the opportunity to open mine.

With love,

Laura

P.S. If you are outside of my area and want to nominate someone, check out http://www.givingisawesome.com and find a participating photographer near you!
