Antelope Island 3-6-17


I don’t really like myself in pictures. I hardly (if ever) take selfies and am not the biggest fan of group photos. However, one thing I do like is taking pictures with Chad. When we get the opportunity to take pictures, it is so much fun and I feel as if we are newly engaged again. We were so lucky to adventure to the Great Salt Lake with the ultra-talented (and stunning!) Alexis Foust! This was our second time shooting with Alexis and not only is she a talented photographer, she also is a wonderful person to be with. Alexis is one of those people that when you first meet her, you feel like you’re going to be best friends for the rest of your life. She remembers things about you that most would forget seconds after meeting you. She is truly one-of-a-kind.

What’s a typical session with Alexis like? For starters, she will work with you to pick a location or studio that fits your style. She understands that everyone has their own style and tastes and will tailor each session to her clients’ individual taste. If you take a look at her blog, you will see that each session is unique. She really wants you to feel satisfied with your session. This last session I could not figure out what to wear. I asked friends and family which option looked best but I still was worried. So what did I do? I messaged Alexis! She was a huge help! I feel like if you were to do this with other photographers they would be annoyed, but Alexis was so happy to help! She LOVES what she does and wants to help in any way she can.

When you meet for your session, Alexis will be there with the biggest smile, ready to go! She understands that each couple, family, etc. has a unique dynamic. Taking pictures with her will feel natural and the photos will mirror that. Honestly, expect lots of laughs with her! It’s only been two days and I’m already feeling withdrawals! Spending time with Alexis is so much fun! I seriously love her! After your session with her, you’ll be feeling the same way. But good thing she is on top of things and you’ll hear back from her soon! In a matter of days, she will have your gallery ready which is amazing because many photographers will have you waiting weeks to get them (which can suck because *suspenseful*). Working with Alexis is such a fun experience and you’ll love it. Alexis (you sweet baby angel😉) Thank you for everything! I can’t wait to work with you again! Lunch date soon? Xoxo

It would be a shame if I didn’t give a shout out to Haley Bateman. Even though I wasn’t directly working with her, she was killing it! This session was different because Haley was taking video of Alexis taking pictures of us. I didn’t have experience working with a videographer before, but I was SO impressed with Haley. She was a blast! We had lots of laughs together and I had to immediately follower her on Instagram, and I am so glad I did. Guys… go check her page out! Her stuff is amazing! If you’re looking for a videographer, I would book with her! Thanks for all the laughs and fun Haley! You’re crazy talented and I hope we get a chance to get together again! (Alexis will be posting the video on her website soon.)
These ladies both are incredibly talented! You’ll love working with them and love your images and video even more! Check out their pages and give them some love!
