the Green Family

Isn't this the cutest family you have ever seen? Ok. I admit, I am biased. This is my sister and her family. We were finally able to take their 2007 family photo tonight.

Although it was chilly outside, the boys were so well behaved! I seriously love my nephews, Will and James, so much. They always brighten my day when I need a lift. I am blessed to live close to them so that I can be such a big part of their lives. (And Will, know that I love you even though I have more pictures of James)

Thanksgiving Fun

I am finally getting my life back in order from my computer catastrophe...or starting to at least...

One thing that was holding me back was that I lost my Photoshop Actions, which means I didn't have a quick way to get images ready for my blog. Today, I finally remade my actions. I decided to try something new for my stamp. Do you like it? Or do you like the old way with a sidebar on the right? I love any input you have!

Back to the photos...on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, I went with some friends up to a cabin up in Kamas. We arrived just as the sun was setting, but I could tell it was going to be beautiful. When I woke up in the morning, I quickly got dressed and went for a walk with my camera. Breathtaking! Although it was chilly, it was a gorgeous day with rich blue skies and glistening frost.

After breakfast, we went skeet shooting. I've only posted a few pics of the guys (sorry girls). It was a blast. As you can see, these guys really know what they're doing. We got back into the city in just enough time for all of us to travel to our own Thanksgiving dinners. What a fabulous way to start off my Thanksgiving festivities!

Computer Catastrophe

I hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing Thanksgiving weekend! I had a great week and will be posting pictures from it shortly.

Last Tuesday, I was updating my System and ended up reformatting my hard drive, which isn't supposed to happen. I went into the Apple Store and they ran a few tests and told me that my information was unrecoverable and that it was a strange, fluky thing for this to happen. I was devastated. Luckily, I had ALL my photos backed up on another hard drive, so you all have no need to fret. I did, however, lose all my business documents, invoices, logo, client information, passwords, and applications.

After coming home from the Apple Store on Friday, I have been working on recovering the information. I soon found that the tests at Apple were not thorough. The contents from my hard drive are coming back as one big, huge mess, but I am finding the important documents and such. Please, please be patient with me as I'm trying to sort through this mess. I have a new computer which I am getting set up and I will be getting back to editing shortly.

If you have any questions/concerns/reminders for me, please email me at stacy@threewinksstudio.com.

We're Featured Again

I feel so blessed that Three Winks Studio is featured AGAIN on thebrideandgroom.com (previously utahbrideandgroom.com). I loved Bill and Carli's wedding day so much and it is a treat to be able to share it with a wider audience.

Also, Three Winks Studio has been featured as a vendor on thebrideandgroom.com as well, which is such an honor! I want to thank those at thebrideandgroom.com who have been keeping an eye on my blog and who have given me this great privilege.

Ashley's Bridals

I had a blast taking Ashley's bridals! She has a gorgeous dress that is a hint more gold than cream colored. It looks BEAUTIFUL with her red hair and light complexion. Ashley had her hair and make-up done by Crystal at Signature Brides and she looked amazing.

We first went to Wasatch Furniture (located on State Street, who was super kind to let us photograph in their store). It is filled to the brim with antique, eclectic furniture. It has become one of my new favorite places to just go browse. It fit perfectly with Ashley's dress and style!

Then, as the sun was setting we rushed over to Sugarhouse. I ended up using my light since we were shooting into the night. I love it because it created a beautiful, dramatic light. I am excited for Ashley and Chase's wedding coming up in December!
