WHO has "inspired" ME as a photographer:)

So a little bit of why I LOVE photography.....Since I was about 18 I have LOVED taking photos, blowing photos up, framing photos etc....
I ALWAYS was (&still am) the one in the group who always had a camera, ready to take photos;)  Great shots, silly shots, whatever shots;)
I have been very blessed to travel throughout my life, & I'd say the past 5-6 years of traveling, photography has been a big part of it.   I have SOOO many photos from our travels, both near & far, & I treasure all of them!
 I have beautiful landscapes on canvas that I can seriously sit & stare @ forever, they are so beautiful to me, they never get old!


So speed up to "now" I had been asked by several people to take their family photos within the past year or so, & I was going to start my business up a little over a year ago, but I lost my mother unexpectedly & so the timing was off.
Well, this summer the time was right;) & so here I am!  & I HOPE I will be here for many more years to come!


As I began my new "adventure" in my life, w/the support of my hubby, & family I began to seek inspiration from photographers who's "style" I admire.


Tonight I am going to talk about 2 photographers that have really gotten me excited to really do this!  One is a VERY well know photographer & director in photography, she is BIG time!  & in my "next life" I want to be just like "Dani"!
Dani Brubaker is her name, I'm sure her name doesn't ring a bell to most, but I GUARANTEE that you know her work!  She has an AMAZING talent,  I can't get enough when I look @ her work, truly beautiful!  My niece "Rilla Weaver" has been in the business for several years, she had MUCH success w/modeling for Roxy, H&M,  & Justice to name a few, & her mom Summer told me that Dani Brubaker was a BIG part of so many jobs Rilla booked, which is no surprise to me, Dani's work is nearly perfect.
I will copy her FB page link down below, check her out, go to her website for more photos, she is awesome!

My NEXT inspirational photographer, whom I also have never met is Laci Davis.  I found Laci's work on "pinterest"  She has an AMAZING eye, I LOVE her style of photography!  She uses beautiful color when editing, & you can tell that her clients love to work w/her!  She's also a bit of a local "star" in UT. she has a segment on a local UT morning show called "studio 5"
Here is the link below;)
Studio 5 - Step Into Laci's Shoes: Heels


So If you live in UT. (Davis county) you have a very talented photographer that you must use!

My "style" is very similar to Laci's style.  She is very fashion savvy, loves to find bargains & shares them:) & has a great time w/her shoots, it shows in her work!  She has been an inspiration to me, & she doesn't even know it;)!
Laci uses vibrant bold colors, unique locations & I love the way she edits her images.


Laci came up w/a very classy way of helping her clients (& non-clients) in "what do I wear for my photo shoot" question that EVERYONE always has!  In fact, I'm still piecing together the "final" touches of my own family photo shoot wardrobe;)!
I used much of Laci's "advise"w/my own twist on this subject, thanks Laci;)
Here is Laci's FB page, check it out & "like" it, IK you will love to follow her, as I have;)
