Cache Valley Amateur Hockey Association Photos




We really do have so many amazing people in Cache Valley, Utah. Being an affordable photographer, I specialize in making beautiful photography accessible. This fits in so well with local youth groups because I can offer packages and prices that meet parent's wants for beautiful photography as well as their budgets. 


These boys and girls in our local Hockey League (located at the Eccles Ice Center in North Logan) are so great. They are out on the ice working hard, and they were such perfect subjects. Happy to smile or be serious depending on their age and their parents. Team pictures were a bit chaotic,  especially with the younger groups. Who knew adding ice, skates, and dozens of small children to a portrait would prove difficult. It took several tries, and a bit of loud cheering but we finally got (most) of these cute kiddos to stay put for a shot. 



Meanwhile, we had some great package prices for parents to choose from that offered flexibility and affordability. Here's a sneak peak at what it broke down to. 

Single Images: $10. (Parents were able to choose a digital or print file, as well as if they wanted a team or individual image)

Two Images: $15. The most popular package by far was the digital two-image package, it's a great price per image and you get a print release to make and share as many copies as you want. Print images were also an option. 

Three images: $20. With a head shot, a full shot, and a team shot, three images provided the most for parents and were also available in print or digital files with print release. 



Now it's off to deliver all the players images. The best news- Photo by Memories has one of the shortest delivery times for team pictures, same as family and children pictures. All images, print and digital will be delivered in 2 weeks. 

Because this kind of photography should be shared, soon.

Second Birthday Pictures

Child photography is a wonderful journey. I get to see first hand the amazing changes in my clients as they grow from new babies into beautiful kids. 



Addi is seriously one of my favorite little clients. Her addictive smile, and laugh just spread to everyone around her. She is a favorite of my girls too who love all the amazing things this only grandchild has to share :)

Plus, she has the most beautiful curly hair. 


 

When doing birthday photo shoots, there are always a few things to consider. First, obviously is finding a photographer who can capture beautiful images on a budget. It's also important to consider things like, how much "birthday" do you want included in the form of balloons or other props? What are you using these images for? Just birthday invitations? Maybe pictures for grandma's wall? Depending on what you want to use your image for, you'll want to adjust the look and feel of your set-up. 


 

Addi's mom clued me into the outfit she wanted Addi to wear and we went through background options from there. I love this backdrop, which is feminine without being too girly and will work for birthday pictures, or even well-wishes come Easter.

Studio portraits, whether for newborns, or big kids are beautiful, fun, and if you are lucky like me, full of the magic of childhood. 

Enjoy!
