just a little taste from a recent fun engagement session. shot at the peery hotel in salt lake and beyond.
in case you didn't get marty's secret code below...
this is your chance, if you're in utah, to come and hang out in the studio, take a look around, and all the while be listening to the sweet music of adam and darcie LIVE. plus the food part. the food part is really good. so come say hello! we don't bite. and if you're super nice, i'll let you rub my pregnant tummy for good luck. what, you didn't know pregnant bellies were so lucky? you'll see...
secret studio opening party / destination wedding photographer
dear yan, the secret studio opening party is almost upon us. all our friends in the area will be getting their secret invitations - you know, the ones plastered on facebook and our blog. my only regret is that i wish more strangers would come. i wish they would read the blog and decide to come of their own volition. (you know, they could come to one east center street ste. 207, friday @ 8pm). then they could be our new friends. or better yet, since it is a secret party, our old friends could disguise themselves as strangers and we could have two friendships where there was once one. insert a picture of garth brooks next to one of chris gaines.
tonight when i took the scouts to the wildlife museum, one of the museum educators held out a snake to me (in case i wanted to pet it). i did not. he did this as he explained how this snake regularly eats rattlesnakes. he also told this group of impressionable 15 scouts that if you happen upon a rattlesnake it will probably not bite you at first, since biting is a last resort. the creature is a head and a tail! it can do nothing but bite you! this i did not say. instead i thought of what a fun party game it would be to have a rattlesnake wandering around the studio. then if anyone looks nervous just say, "don't worry, biting is a last resort."
you bring the disguises. i'll bring the snake.
love, marty
YAN LOVES BABIES | Utah commercial photographer, Idaho commercial photographer
hey y'all! so some of you crafty readers already noticed my mini announcement that Yan is looking for babies to model for a fun commercial gig. i so appreciate your responses, and promise that i will be getting in touch with each of you who have responded to date. i also wanted to make a more obvious announcement (again) that yan needs stylin babies!!!! as in riiiiiigggghhhhttt now. indeed, i need cute and chubby kidlets between ages 6-18 months to begin shooting TOMORROW AFTERNOON. yes, you read that right. my wonderful client just asked me to bump this project to mega urgent, and so it is! we also need babies on Wednesday. we will be shooting in a variety of locations (probably only one per rockstar baby however), and we are especially looking for interested parties who have modern and fun interiors we could possibly shoot in. Mom's, we could even use you in some of these shots (like maybe your feet wearing some bright and lovely shoes), sounds fun right?
baby's mommies will be responsible for wardrobe, and we are seeking bright colors, layers, hats and accessories (oh come on accessories for babies isn't that ridiculous of a notion). Willingness to sign a model release is definitely a MUST.
so if this doesn't apply to you, go tell everyone you know! and if this does apply to you email me right this very second (photography.yan@gmail.com) with a photo of your precious babe, their age, and whether or not you have an available interior. responses will be sent out tonight.
ahhh, what would i do without you guys?
And speaking of babies, i'm off to a doctor's appointment right now to check on our little guy. last week, we found out this creature is indeed a little male (hip hip hooray!), but we also found out that things are a little shaky in his crib down there. so wish uncle marty and i luck, and hopefully i'll have more details to share soon.
one of a kind | utah engagment photographer, utah wedding photographer
its always the same. i have this fantastic blog post envisioned, then i go to edit, then i find...tooo many pictures i like. too much to choose from, too hard, can't do it....and then i proceed to self destruct. eventually, i somehow whip myself back into shape to get SOMETHING up on the blog---
but this post. it aint just a little something. its kinda major big. let me just say that during this shoot, i did a whole lot of "ahhhhing," at romantic cuteness and laughing at pure hilarity. tears may have even come to my eyes, but again, that would be because of the hilarity part. you can laugh and cry too by visiting alison's amazing blog here.
*****ALSO, MORE DETAILS ON THIS SOON, BUT I AM IN MAJOR NEED OF SOME SERIOUSLY CUTE BABIES AROUND 6-12 MONTHS FOR A COMMERCIAL SHOOT. MUST BE WILLING TO SIGN MODEL RELEASE. PLEASE EMAIL ME IF INTERESTED.
