Now, as you know, we recently had a photo shoot at Wheeler Farm. Our photographer was Katie Eavenson from Potatobug Photography and she does amazing work!

Katie had a great trick to get him to look in to the camera by asking if he could see the monkey in the lens. That is how we got this adorable monkey noise face.

I was impressed that she could keep up with this little guy, even while 7 mos. pregnant!

I love how she captured so many facets of his personality.

My sis says the one below on the right looks like a GAP ad.

All I can say is that I love this kid and I am so happy we captured him at this age so I can always remember my crazy, adorable, silly, rambunctious, curious, loving, little boy.

I was amazed that one week after the shoot I had the fully edited images on a cd in my mailbox. I have all the printing rights and can print as many as I want and I pretty much want them all! Owning the printing rights is important to me.

Katie also sent a list of suggested companies to use for enlargements, books, etc which I think is really helpful considering she probably knows the good ones!

In addition to child shoots,
Katie does infant and family shoots.

Potatobug Photography is available for shoots in Salt Lake & Cache County, Utah and Franklin County, Idaho.

I am so excited to be doing this review for Essential Swimwear. I saw them on Studio 5 and fell in love with their adorable tankinis. I was excited to be able to choose my own swimsuit to try out. Here’s the one I chose:

(Here’s what it will look like if you are white and freckled and your arm can only reach out so far to take the pic. Plus, there is no way I was putting a full body shot of myself on here. I get props for being brave right?! There, proof that I actually wear this suit.)

I adore the ruffles and love that the tank is long so I don’t have to worry about it creeping up while playing in the water with my 2 year old. Plus, if I am having a chubby day, I can scrunch it up and make it look like it has ruching. Ha!

They have tons of cute styles to choose from and did I mention the pricing?! You can get both pieces for just over $50! None of this $80-120 silliness!

So why do I love Essential Swimwear:

• My suit fit right straight out of the package. Not an easy task when ordering online!
• The suits are modest, but still super cute!
• The top has cups sewn in. None of this showing the world you are cold. You will feel properly supported. 😉
• The top has ties so it is adjustable, great for when you need a little more space up top if you are nursing and or preggo.
• It is super long so I could even wear it as a maternity suit for quite a while.
• There are no weird gaps around the booty of the suit. It’s snug where it should be.
• The quality is high. It is not something that is going to fall apart after a few uses.
• I can feel good that I am supporting a local woman run business.

So, now for the best part!

When I was contacted by Canvas Press to review one of their photo canvases, I was excited, but skeptical. I had ordered canvases from other companies in the past and was deeply disappointed with the quality and coloring. I ordered my 16×20 gallery wrapped family portrait canvas online (which was a snap BTW) and hoped for the best.

From the minute I started opening the package, I knew this experience was going to be far more positive! The canvas was so carefully packed to keep everything intact and perfect.

I was astonished at how beautiful it looked! The colors were vibrant and true to the picture and the quality of the canvas was right on point. It was mounted on a quality wood frame that was built to last. I love that it was made right here in the USA!

I hung the canvas on the stairway in my entry way so all those entering will be able to see it. I am so very pleased with the look, but also with the ease and speed of ordering. I truly could not have asked for more.

*edit: My family picture was taken by Brett from Photo Studio B.
He does an amazing job and makes the shoot so much fun!

Here’s the best part. I am so thrilled that Canvas Press is giving away a 16×20 gallery wrap photo canvas (including shipping, a $115 value) to one of my lucky readers!
