I'm busy being Mom

2012-01-22T19:13:00.000-08:00

Sorry i've been a slacker on the blog. I promise one day I'll get better. For now I'll leave you with my sweet little boy. We welcomed him to our family on January 13, 2012 at 4:43 pm. He was 6lbs 4oz and 19.5 inches long.

Behind the scenes

2011-10-28T20:04:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to show all of my clients what goes on after your session. Here is a little before and after picture of my cute sister and her family.

Fall is in the air

2011-10-10T19:05:00.001-07:00

I am LOVING this Fall weather!! I'm also loving the beautiful pictures that come this time of year.

Fun in Midway

2011-08-07T14:13:00.001-07:00

For date night Chad and I took a beautiful drive through the Alpine Loop and ended in Midway. I was on the hunt for a new photography location and decided that since we were making the trip that I'd throw in my tripod and have a little picture fun of our own. Chad was sweet and went along with my crazy idea, we really ended up having a lot more fun than either of us expected. Let's just say me running through the tall grass in my heels while trying to beat the camera timer gave Chad something to laugh about.

Baby Turner

2011-08-04T18:42:00.000-07:00

A Date at the Park

2011-05-10T10:30:00.000-07:00

This was such a fun session. My goal was to get the interaction between a mom and daughter. Although it's sad to see her cry I love seeing mom being there for her. Happy LATE mothers day!!

It's Friday!!! And if you can't tell i'm excited. Today promises a day on the golf course with my hubby and a delicious dinner because it's date night.... but if i'm being honest Chad and I already had date night this week. We went out on Wednesday because we are cool enough to have two date nights. Yay us!

Enjoy these two love birds...

Beautiful Bride + Handsome Groom = LOVE!!

Miss Elliott

2011-01-19T12:25:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the world!!!

I love this picture of mom, she looks absolutely amazing!!

Weekend Getaway

2011-01-12T10:12:00.000-08:00

I had this great idea for Chad and I to have a relaxing weekend up at Solitude Ski Resort. Let's just say it wasn't relaxing but it was definitely fun. I haven't been snowboarding in about 5 years and I COMPLETELY forgot how much your body hurts the day after! So needless to say I wouldn't sum up our weekend getaway with a work like relaxing, but I think we'd go again in a heartbeat.

Black & White vs. Color

2010-12-30T09:49:00.000-08:00

I usually am a huge fan of color but for some reason with this session i'm drawn to the Black and white. Which do you like better? I think the Black and White looks more moody!?!

It's all in the details!

2010-12-30T09:17:00.000-08:00

Glowing

2010-11-30T21:29:00.000-08:00

WARNING!! Long post! I had such a hard time narrowing it down. I absolutely love these pictures. Meg you look so beautiful and you definitely have that pregnancy glow!

I can't decide which one I like better. Black or White? What do you think?

He makes me hungry

New Yorkers

2010-11-22T10:19:00.001-08:00

He loved to pretend like he was SuperMan. It was SO cute.

Seriously...

2010-11-14T22:09:00.000-08:00

I can't get enough of this little boy. His smile is the cutest thing ever. I want to squish his cheeks. (Don't worry though, I really won't)

Yep, we're related!

2010-11-14T20:29:00.000-08:00

This is my beautiful sister and her adorable family. I'm glad we got to the orchard before all the leaves fell.

My nephews are the most handsome boys EVER!!!! I can't get enough of them.

Family Pictures

2010-11-14T15:16:00.000-08:00

No time to write, but i'll leave you with this gorgeous family!!

There's no beach in Utah...

2010-10-27T14:32:00.001-07:00

....but I could of had you fooled with these pictures. I was a little worried about the lighting but it turned out so perfect. We had just the right amount of cloud coverage. Jessica you look beautiful!!

What the....

2010-10-27T13:39:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning to 5 inches of snow. I swear just yesterday the canyons looked so bright and full of color. Dang snow! I wasn't ready for you yet. I wish fall could last just a little bit longer!

Love..

2010-10-22T14:06:00.000-07:00

IS IN THE AIR!!!

Weekend Baby

2010-10-08T09:23:00.000-07:00

This week felt like it would never end. I'm so glad the weekend is finally here. Unfortunatly I'll be working all weekend. But i'm lucky i'll be photographing more beautiful people!! Have a great weekend. I hope these pictures hold you over until Monday.

Dating?

2010-10-07T22:42:00.000-07:00

I had a conversation tonight with my brother about dating. He was wanting some fun date ideas. Now I was always a fan of a dinner and movie but for some reason that date idea now has a bad rap. Why?? I don't understand that. So my questions to you, yes YOU, what is a great date night idea? He needs help and i've been out of the dating world for a little while and i'm fresh out of idea. Plus apparently all my ideas are stupid. Who knew?

Oh My!

2010-10-07T09:16:00.001-07:00

I try not to write on my blog about the pictures in each post because it would constantly be the same thing over and over. But seriously, look at this sweet girl. I don't think i've ever seen a cuter baby in my life. She is a month old and she slept so good. We moved her any way we wanted to. She did so great! Enjoy your sneek peek Jill!

HapPy HaPpY BiRtHdaY......

2010-10-05T20:51:00.000-07:00

to you! Well not you, but my hubby Chad. Today was his 26th Birthday. I can't believe I married such an old man! JK I'm determined next year to make his 27th birthday better than his 26th. We had a last minute party. Seriously. Last. Minute. I sent out the text invitation 2 hours before the party began. I'm making it known to the blogging world that next year it will be my goal to make his party SO SO SO much better.

I love you Chad!

Molten Lava FuDgE cake

2010-10-02T22:02:00.000-07:00

Mmmm! Just finished off some delicious dessert. It was the perfect end to a great day. But to top off the night I decided I'd share some cuteness with everyone. Man these kids would totally have it made in the modeling industry!

Ouch!

2010-09-24T22:00:00.000-07:00

I spend the entire day on my feet, and in heels no less! But I did get to work from a golf course so I guess I can't complain too much. I was able to come and volunteer at a golf tournament to benefit the Mountain Shadows Support Group. It's an amazing charity dedicated to help kids and adults with cerebral palsy. This charity allows these amazing people to live independently but with supervision. It was really a great way to spend the day. For the dinner portion I was asked to sell raffle tickets. It was so fun and there were so many good sports. I raised a total of $1,100. It wasn't easy and I had to push a lot of guys, but like always they ended up opening their wallets and really helping out so many people.

Now on to the pictures. This gorgeous couple just happen to be my parents. Man I love these two!!

San Diego Baby!!!

2010-09-22T15:41:00.001-07:00

I'm leaving on a Jet Plane tomorrow. I'll be working from the golf course this weekend. I'm also super stoked to be working with Wendy Whitacre from Blue Lily this weekend. It's only Wednesday and my weekend starts tomorrow. Oh, how I love California!

I also love the pictures from the (soon to be Brown's) engagement session.

I peed my pants

2010-09-16T20:29:00.000-07:00

ALMOST!

It's been years since i've been horseback riding. Either I was a really brave kid or I have a horrible memory and I forgot how scary it was. Let's say it's the first option. Ha. So I sat on the back of Blakes's horse, not in a sadle mind you, and held on for dear life. I was so scared but I'm a great actress so I don't even think Blake or Jordin knew. (Blake & Jordin- if you could tell I was scared don't tell anyone. I'd hate to ruin my reputation.)

But in all seriousness it really was a good time, although I think it will be another few years before I go again. Because truthfully I have a really bad memory, I lied earlier, please forgive me! And I'm sure think it will be such a great time and then I'll get scared again. So on and so forth

Enjoy the pics!

Lets Go Vikings

2010-09-04T22:03:00.001-07:00

Let's go!!! (Clap, clap)

Today I got to go see the two most handsome boys in the world play football. They rocked!!! The sun was hotter than you know what, but I'll take it and be happy considering summer is almost gone. One nephew won and the other lost, although they BOTH did an amazing job. My youngest nephew was so cute, we had to keep reminding him to go listen to his coach. He gets distracted very easily. He also only runs really fast when the game is over and it's time for the snack. Ha Ha I love that boy. My other nephew was the team motivator. I could hear him from the side lines trying to pump up his team even though they were down. He had such an awesome attitude. Way to go P.G. Vikings, You kicked butt!!!!

Latest pictures from the GoPro workshop last weekend. It was pure bliss!

I was so nervous for this shoot. This sweet little boy is over 7 weeks old and I thought he wasn't going to cooperate with me at all. I couldn't have been more wrong! He was probably the best baby I've ever photographed. Congrats Janean, your little boy is so dang cute!! Enjoy the Sneak Peek!

I can't believe I caught a smile from that little guy!

I love baby feet!!!!

Whitney was a member of the track team and she really wanted pictures at the Riverton High School track. Such a great idea!! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

SLC Temple

2010-02-11T10:00:00.000-08:00

So many of the pictures of the temple are gorgeous, it seems that no matter what print you get many of your neighbors have the same picture. Add a gorgeous piece of art to your home that other around you won’t have. These pieces of art will stand out in your home. I’m the original photographer of these photographs, and all editing has been done by me personally. Personal saying’s can be added to any picture for an additional cost.

Size ........Print ........Mounting & Texture ........Total for both
8x10 .......$10.00 .........$10.00 ........................=$20.00
11x14 .....$20.00 .........$20.00....................... =$40.00
16x20 ....$50.00 .........$25.00....................... =$75.00
20x24 ....$60.00......... $30.00 .......................=$90.00

To add your own saying on each picture is an additional $8.50

I would recomment have your picture mounted and texured however you can just order the print. If you need a different size from what it shown above please call and I can tell you a price for the size that you would need. Turnaround time is approximately 1 week.
These pictures make a great gift for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, mothers & father’s day, and for any other reason.

Motivation....or lack there of.

2010-01-28T10:34:00.001-08:00

I have the motivation to take so many pictures right now. Then I look out the window and see the snow that rest's on my lawn. Now sure I know I could get up, stop complaining and take some beautiful pictures with the snow. But I really just want summer!

I want to wear flip flops and swim suits and feel like jumping in the lake because it's so hot. I need my summer motivation. So now i'll kindly beg summer to hurry up and grace us with her presence. Sun please come out and melt the snow, and give me a wonderful tan glow. Grass, could you please be green? And most of all, If you want gorgeous spring or summer pictures please let me know. My camera is screaming to get out!

Sneak peak Duena's family

2009-04-30T13:01:00.000-07:00

Welcome to EllaRue Photography. This is not the first family session I've taken but I wanted to share this one with everyone. Duena's family you were great.

I love the Red in this picture, It really makes the green windows pop!

Little R was so handsome. He did so good!

Notice the treats on the suitcase. It was the only way we could convince him to stay sitting.

This picture is stunning Niki. Your look hot! I love the blue.

And last but not least is Issac. I love his half smile.
