Today’s Feature Friday is Brett from Photo Studio B. If memory serves me right Brett is the first male to be featured! Don’t worry Brett, we don’t bite (unless you are holding the last piece of turtle cheesecake, then I make no promises). Brett is a family friend I have known for almost two years now. He recently took our family photos and I could not help but share! They turned out amazing! The pics and *a giveaway* are coming up soon, but let’s get things rolling with the one-minute interview.
- What is your favorite crafting tool or secret weapon? Photoshop
- What would be the one piece of advice you would give us moms out there trying to capture great shots of our kids? Don’t be afraid to take lots of pictures! You can always delete the bad ones. I do! & Don’t be afraid to change the settings on your camera & play around.
- If there was one thing about men you wish women understood what would it be? Men can be creative too.
- What/who was the subject of your favorite photo ever? My daughter at Snowbird
- Toothpaste: are you a tube squeezer or a tube roller? I squeeze until I can’t get anything, then roll to get more.
Here are a few of Brett’s favorite shots from his portfolio:
The thing I loved most about our recent shoot was that it was so much fun! It wasn’t stress about keeping my crazy little guy still or making sure every one’s eyes were open, it was just us having fun and being a family. The fact that my little one is so curious just added to the opportunities for great pics. This is the way I want to remember us, laughing and loving each other.
Here are some of my favorites from my shoot with Brett (sorry there are so many, it was hard to decide!):
If you are wondering…How can I get in with this guy. Well, since you are all my close bloggy friends, I will tell you. Brett does 1 hour sessions for a session fee of $50, but he has agreed to waive the fee until August 31 so you guys can give it a whirl! You know how I love free! The cd of your shoot (20-40 images) with printing rights is only $75 (they wanted $99 for this in addition to the other fees when I got my sons pics at Target). See more details on Brett’s Photo Studio B page.
I know, I know, you are all wondering what the giveaway is. Well, Brett has been so awesome to offer one 1/2 hour photo session for FREE! Yep, free. And I will be throwing in a free 8×10 print of the photo of your choice. Woohoo!
And now for the fine print nitty gritty details of the photo shoot giveaway:
- Must be in or willing to travel to Salt Lake City, UT area (sorry out of towners)
- 1/2 hour session
- Up to 6 people in shoot
- Will receive a cd with 20 high res pictures and printing rights!

Hi Michelle!
It was so great to meet you yesterday @MWMI’09. What a cute blog and I can’t wait to read more!! I love the pictures of your family…your little guy is sooo cute. I love Brett’s photo of the boy in the knit hat. I have boys and that phots totally jumped out at me. Thanks for the giveaway…Maybe #1 will win.
How does one choose. I love all his photos. He does excellent work. Your family is so cute in every one of them.
Wow, I love Brett’s work. How fun to have family photo sessions! Well, I looked through his blog and had a couple shoots I really liked (the family all in red and blue, the bridge, etc.) But I think my favorite was Saturday, February 14, 2009 – Derek & Karen’s Wedding – Valentines Day! Probably because I just got married and anything wedding related I just love right now. The “overexposed” picture that he enhanced to make it look like heaven – I love it!
By the way, I’m already a follower WINK WINK
Oh… and of course I will spread the word. The more people that hear about him, the more people that will book shoots with him! Here is a link to my blog!

Wow! I’m in for this giveaway. By the way, your pictures do look great, but my favorite is the baby feet by the blue chair with the number one, and then the one of Aiden on the bottom of the page playing with the farm equiptment. Good work Michelle.
Love his old building photo shoot!
