What a beautiful family ! The Ormsbys. Ritchie is still in Africa and I had the most difficult time choosing which photos to put here in the blog. There are so many darling photos to choose from and I’m sure Ritchie would be shocked if he finds out that I have put all their photos here in our blog. I’m almost tempted to. HAHA! I would have posted this blog sooner if not for going back and forth on which photos to post. Anyways, this is the first shoot that I have done since I have given birth and I couldn’t have asked for a more sunnier day. Fields were covered with wildflowers mimicking like sunflowers and the sky was bursting with puffy clouds almost like marshmallow. Thank God we are conveniently located here in Utah where we can virtually be anywhere in the state and we can still have the breathtaking views of the Wasatch Range mountains and I could be home in minutes.
So imagine no more, meet Nathan, Jen, Marlee, Noah, Van and Tama. And yes, Noah and Van are tweenies and they are the most adorable ones! So cute and adorably sweet
This is Marlee. Yes, please, SHUT THE FRONT DOOR ! 8 years old but our cameras loved her. She can absolutely be a model, I know
OK guys, please don’t swoon! We know, they’re so sweet to each other. Noah and Van …
Last but not the least, Tama! We can play “Catch me if you can” all day long and we would never get tired of it. He’s tooooooooo cute!!!!!
This last one was requested by them, to have an image of all their feet together
Nathan and Jen, thanks for having us. We had a blast!

We did a very quick shoot with Briana right before I gave birth for her modelling audition photos. She is absolutely gorgeous! Love her amazing brown eyes and her most adorable curls. Curls are the best, I think ! I mean even adults do it, they try to come up with curls or waves at the ends of their manes. I try to do it all the time but I always kinda fail. I have no idea how people can say that hair straighteners can make “easy” curls coz girl !!! I have totally tried it and it’s way not “easy”. HAHA! I guess, it comes with practice and time I don’t have to mess with my hair. I’d rather do makeup but alas, I fail on that area as well. Oh makeup stylists, how I wish I can afford you everyday ! LOL
Here are some of Briana’s photos just inside our makeshift studio at home …
And we of course cannot resist some lovely outdoor, au naturelle shots
Heather ! You gotta let us know as soon as Briana lands her first modelling stint! Let us know if you need more photos taken

Chris and Wendy has decided to order parent albums for their parents. So what are these? Parent albums are smaller versions of your actual wedding album that couples usually give their parents. We know how our parents love to have those. I’m sure that some of you guys know exactly what I’m talking about. Our parents have bigger wall portraits hanging in their homes of our wedding images than we do ! HAHA! But it’s one of those precious gifts that I’m sure they would love and absolutely appreciate.
On these albums, Wendy opted to have the black leather to cover to albums. For those who are interested, you will have different options for the cover. You can have leathers, fabrics or even canvases to cover the album. We can customize the cover as how you would love to see it. We also offer flushmount and coffee table albums for these and Wendy has opted to go for the coffee table albums.
The pages are slimmer and you can also opt to reduce the spreads of your wedding album.
Binding is as gorgeous and as durable as our flushmount album.
So this is how a leaf would look like and as you can see, it also opens up the spreads and lays flat. No middle gutter would get in the way of you enjoying the whole spread’s imagery and design elements.
These are albums that your parents would love to display on their coffee tables.
Here are some of the spreads from the Andersons’ parent wedding album. Enjoy !
Thanks!

I am now 36 weeks !! Huge but still hanging there =) And right now, I’m in the middle of choosing what diaper bag I really really want. Which is absurd of course considering there are so many other things that I really need to work on (like our baby room???? haha! yeah! ) . But I’m plagued with what diaper bag I’m going to use. I thought I really absolutely loved the Gucci diaper bag 7 months ago but now? I don’t even know what I liked about it. And now I’m torn between Burberry, Marc Jacobs and Kate Spade. What is it with quilted bags? They make me drool. Must be my love for a Chanel that I haven’t had a chance to buy. I wanna buy it of course from their mother flagship store since I have heard so much about their window displays. So maybe next year, I could fly out to Paris to snag me one of those. But I do know when I’m wasting time, so I decided to do something more worthwhile and blog Emma instead.
Here are a few photos of Emma, a Northridge High Layton Utah student, for her senior porraits. We went to downtown Salt Lake and went around shooting wherever we could get her to be. It’s our first shooting someone from Laos and we’re very much intrigued. We wonder what Laos looks like. We have been to several Southeast Asian countries but not this one just yet. They look so much like us Filipinos, black/brown hair, deep brown chocolate eyes, brown/fair skin and of course they also carry the youth genes ! They look so much younger than their age. But the most important thing of all, is their ready smiles for us. Loved Emma’s easy going personality no matter whether her hair is in disarray or the poses we asked of her is absolutely awkward. HAHA! She pretty much just goes with the flow. Below are some photos, hope you like them
Last but not the least! e is for Emma!
Hi Emma ! God bless on your future endeavors !

Most of us are familiar with the unsightly devastation that the tornado in Joplin Missouri has left in its wake. And to this day, they are still rebuilding not just their home but their lives that were broken and battered from the winds that this storm has brought in.
Our church will be sending a mission team out to Joplin Missouri to help out and we hope to help in any we can. We can’t be there ourselves but we could help by donating some of the everyday essentials that the people of Missouri still need. Some of the items that they need are :
trash bags
Children’s Tylenol / Ibuprofen
men’s or women’s razors
You could buy the stuff and drop it here at our place or at Alpine Church. Just call us 801 628 6268 if you need any directions. For those who just would like to donate $5 dollars or more, I could just go ahead and buy the needed stuff for you guys. To donate, just click here –> Donations .

I’ve always wondered, what does a good shoot do to a photographer? Does it make you go hmm, I’m so good? Or please, stop the clock so I can shoot even more? Coz this shoot is definitely one of those really good shoots. For us, it left a languid, contented smile on our faces. We are really just thankful that all things turned out for the best even with the ultra windy, cloudy weather. As we have already postponed this shoot a couple of times because of the weather that Utah has been having, we finally took the bite. And we couldn’t be happier.
We traipsed down to our location 10 minutes from where we live. Beautiful countryside. Perfect for beautiful Brittany.
Who by the way got a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. Congrats girl ! We can still totally recall the beam of pride that radiates from Brittany’s mom. There is just an explicable joy that blossoms in the parents’ hearts when they know that their children is just living their lives to the fullest and using all the gifts and talents that God has bestowed them. So congrats Brittany! Go get them! =)
This location couldn’t be more perfect for Brittany when she mentioned that she is truly a country girl at heart. The absolute verdant green meadows with an unbelievable mountain backdrop, the old rustic railroad, the old barns, the quaint mailboxes designed with little flowers seem to be out of place but seem so right, cheer up the otherwise lonely countryside. And of course, the fences, the dogs and the horses just are the cherries on top of our already ice cream filled cup of goodies in this shoot.
Enjoy the rest of the images ! =)
Brittany, God bless as you start on the newest chapter of your life =)

After a long month waiting, David and Reena’s album is now in our hands. And we cannot be happier with it ! It’s beautiful, it’s classic, it’s rad, it’s exquisite ! The fabulous 2-tone leather that Reena have chosen complements the colors of their wedding theme. We love how the leathers have been handmade and fused together with care and love by people that are just as passionate about what they do as we are. This is the top of the line flushmount wedding album that will last a long, long time. We just love how the wedding albums now can be customized to choose several cover options to make it as uniquely yours as possible. Kinda wishing that our wedding album had much zing as these ones do.
Love how elegant the spine looks like. And the leather ? Oooohhhh, the leather. It is made of the highest quality grade possible, soft yet very durable
Pretty substantial just looking at it … And not to mention its weight …
But opening it to reveal 2 pages as 1 whole spread, it is just plain gorgeous …
That’s one leaf, yeah…
The binding is as sturdy and as durable as you want it to be
A beautiful album that can be the centerpiece of your living room
And now, here are some of the spreads that we love from this from album …
The spread below was split up between the first page and last page …
Remember that this is a 12 x 12 wedding page album. Open wide, it would become a 24 x 12 making all the images look so good together.
This will truly be the perfect memento for your wedding presented in the best way possible for you, your family and all your friends to enjoy.

HELLO BLOGGING WORLD !!!! We don’t even know if there’s anybody who missed our blogging but for those who did, we know that you guys have just been wondering what we’ve been up to. We tried but we just absolutely had no time to do any blogging whatsoever. We know that our backlog starts from July of last year and we are going to try to catch up . So many unbelievable photo shoots that we have done and there’s nothing more we’d love but to share everything with you guys. Our clients have just been absolutely stellar and we have just been so blessed to be able to do something that we love to do.
Adding even more to our already tight schedule, we have also travelled to different states and countries. We have always tried to put ourselves in our clients’ shoes. We wouldn’t want our photographers to be so tired out that no creative juices seem to flow from them. So yeah, we had to stop taking new clients. That was back in November. And when we were ready to take on new ones, I have been blessed with the greatest gift I could ever ask for — my little one who is now actively kicking the insides of my belly. TEE HEE ! I look like an agile preggy woman, definitely. But men, it was a long and winding road for me to get here so I had to put down my heavy canon cameras for a while and relax back and let our little one just grow and grow. Now, I am 31 weeks ! I will post more of my belly pics but for now, here’s a peek of 30 pounds added to me. HAHA!
We are almost back ! We have started booking again Talk to you guys soon !
