Elton Family

My heart is full...

2010-10-19T19:37:00.000-07:00

I know I'm a little bias, but don't we have the most adorable girls!?! Family picture day can always be somewhat of a challenge. Let's just say we are more comfortable on the other side of the camera :) Once we got over the stress of getting everyone ready (getting everyone's hair done is the worst!) It was supper fun just hanging and being silly with the fam!

Kaija Roo Roo!

Barlow to the rescue!

2010-05-26T13:34:00.000-07:00

So, I'm getting ready to head off to San Fransisco for a Photography Workshop and received an email yesterday reminding me I had to submit a self portrait by the end of the day. Dang...who has a pic of themselves lying around? So I twisted Barlow's arm to go take one before he headed off to work. Well it was quite hilarious! We left at noon desperately looking for shade, and of course couldn't find any. So we had our sweet Irie hold the diffuser while Barlow held Emerson (because she's Emerson and has to have a complete meltdown during my stressful sistuation:)) and snapped some shots. Well, after over 100 shots we finally got one that was somewhat useable! UHG...This confirmed I definitely like being on the other side of the camera, thanks hubbs!

Picture Day!!

2009-09-27T14:36:00.000-07:00

Could someone please tell me why it is so hard to photograph your own kids? Their impossible, but still are so darn cute! I shot over 200 pics and still didn't get one of them together that I love, but it's over...well, until next year!

Happy Easter 09

2009-04-13T08:07:00.000-07:00

We had such a great Easter. We had dinner out at my parents house and had an Easter egg hunt for all the kids. (there's no better place to have an egg hunt than at the fort!) The cousins had a great time together!

Hello 2009...it's good to be back!

2009-01-06T10:52:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! The studio has been closed for 3 weeks and it's good to be back. We took a much needed family vacation to Palm Springs, CA. and had such a great time. We lived there for 4 years, so it was nice to go back and see old friends, not to mention the 70 degree weather! It was great to spend quality time with our family without the nagging feeling of "you have so much to get done in Photoshop, get to your computer NOW"! It was truly refreshing!

I also had time to reflect on 2008 and what a wonderful and blessed year it was for my family. I Love photography and am very passionate about it. I truly feel blessed to be following my dream. Thanks Barlow for your love and support. How can it get any better than to run your own business with the person you love most in this world, not to mention he's the most creative and talented person I know!

Thank you for all of our wonderful clients for trusting us to capture all of your priceless memories, thank you for your friendship and your business...THANK YOU!

2009 is here and we're excited!

A trip down memory lane!

I found this clip of Kaija from 4 years ago. I had to post it, cuz I thought it was so darn cute! It kind of made me sad, cuz I want to bottle my kids up and not let them get any bigger! Merry Christmas!

Barlow's famous Date Video!!

2008-11-23T08:43:00.000-08:00

Barlow and I shot this couples wedding this weekend. Before the wedding day, Barlow shot a date video for them and it was played at their reception. It was amazing the response we got from this video, so I thought I would share:) Your a superstar Barlow! :)

2008-11-15T07:32:00.000-08:00

Oh, how I love to shoot my own children. It is honestly the most painful thing, but we did it and it's over! :) I have to say they were troopers considering it was so stinkn' cold outside. Good job girls. I love you!

Happy Halloween 08

So, Barlow and I have been in this debate on who's turn it is to groom the dog. Meanwhile, poor Joey was getting so stinky! Barlow knows I usually take care of the dog, he just kept holding out knowing that I would not be able to stand it anymore and then I would bathe him. So, finally yesterday I gave Barlow the option that he either bathe Joey or I would rub Joey's butt on his pillow. We'll it worked I got home from a shoot yesterday this is what I saw! You clean up nice Joey!

This week in the Elton household!

2008-10-19T12:20:00.000-07:00

Silly Em, getting some static from the trampoline! Cheese.
Okay, I don't think this is normal, doesn't Irie have the longest tongue? Wow.
Pajama day and crazy hair day. Kaija and I had way too much fun doing her hair!

Here's a picture of Barlow's new studio. I miss you honey, but I have to say I get so much more done during the day, and I know you miss me always asking you to watch Emerson while I run really fast to the store. :)

Madi

2008-08-24T08:29:00.000-07:00

This is my cute little neighbor Madi. Poor thing is my photography guinea pig. Whenever I want to try something new, I call upon her. Thanks Madi for being such a great sport.

Barlow's heading to the Univeristy of Utah to get his Masters Degree!

2008-08-12T12:42:00.000-07:00

It's official! Barlow was accepted to the U to get his Masters! Poor guy is wondering if school will ever really end, who can blame him. Good job Babe! I'm really excited, but have to admit, I'm not looking forward to him being gone day and night for the next 3 1/2 years. Yikes!

Dovie

2008-08-10T23:16:00.001-07:00

We took off to Portland and Seattle for a week and had such a great time. Barlow loved being home again. Every time we go, he badly wants to move back. I don't think I could handle the rain!
This is the view of Seattle from the Space Needle. Wow!

Our Website is finally up!

2008-06-05T13:20:00.000-07:00

Finally our website is up and running. Our business has gone through a lot of changes. We are now Elton Film and Images. It has been crazing trying to keep up with everything. Barlow declined his job offer in Florida and signed a contract through IHC and also one with UDOT. He recently filmed 2 anti-littering commercials that are airing now locally, so between that and our photography/videography wedding business there never seems to be a moment to breathe.
We just wanted to thank everybody who has help us though these past few months as we were trying to make such hard decisions as to which direction we wanted to go in.
Don't forget to check out our website @ eltonfilmandimages.com
Love,
Us

We went to Lagoon over Memorial and had such a great time. It was overcast, 65 degrees and the lines where really short. My sister and I went on the new ride Wicked and yeah, that was pretty much like paying money to be in a car accident. I had a headache the rest of the day:")

Barlow finally did it! Good job Babe:)

2008-05-19T17:43:00.000-07:00

Barlow finally graduated from Chapman University this weekend. He received his Bachlor of Fine Arts Degree in Film and Television. We head down to Cali this last weekend so he could walk and have some closure.
We had such a great time. We left the kids home and Barlow's parents, his bother Aaron and two of his sisters, Jo and Lori came down to support him. It was fun to be in our old stoppn' grounds, we have a lot of great memories there!

Our trip to the zoo!

Today was picture day! I'm glad I don't do that to often. It's hard to be mom and the photographer at the same time. Emerson was such a stinker. Kaija asked me why I put myself through this? She's so funny!

Time keeps flyn' by!

2007-10-24T20:28:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it's almost Halloween! Time just seems to go by so fast. Kaija started Kindergarten and loves it so much. She is growing up so fast, sometimes it makes me sad and others I 'm so glad she's getting older and being such a great help. Irelyn is in preschool and loves that she too gets to go to school like Kaija. She is taking dance and demands that she wears her dance clothes everyday and will dance around our house from morning to night singing and playing with her barbies! Baby Emerson is the cutest little bug! She is such a silly thing. Barlow and I have enjoyed her so much. She keeps us all laughing. She recently started to take a few steps, which was pretty shocking since she's only 91/2 months. Well, for Barlow and I we have been so busy. Barlow has been writing for video magazines as well as all the other freelance cameraman and editing gigs. For me I have had a new respect for working moms. Wow, it can be so challenging. I 've been woking at the studio (prettylittlepictures.com) 4 days a week and have been shooting quite a few weddings. I have to say it's been so much fun to be able to pursue my photography passion, but it's also been hard to balance everything, but such is life, right? I think that's the key to pretty much everything, a good balance!
