Coming to Utah!

We'll be leaving tomorrow afternoon for Utah! Jake and I are so excited to see everyone and have a vacation. We are so glad that everyone is going to be in Utah when we visit! Todd, Jane and family will be there and my sister and brother-in-law are coming in town, too! I can't wait to go to the West Jordan Rodeo!! I love wearing my cowboy boots and hat!
Last year, my grandparents asked me to photograph the rodeo and I got paid well by the city to do it, too! It was so much fun to capture all the action. Well, they are using some of my photographs on the West Jordan City website to promote the rodeo and are using one for a tv advertisement on channel 4! My grandma was even asked by a woman if they hired a professional to photograph the rodeo because they were the best action shots she had seen. Woo, what a compliment! That was a good confidence boost since I have been feeling down about my photo-taking ability. It is so neat to see my pictures on their website! I hope I can catch the commercial that has my picture on it, too.

This was suuuch a fun job. Maybe I'll go into just photographing rodeos..

Well, we will be seeing you guys soon! I hope every one is enjoying their summer so far!
P.S. the weather is finally heating up here but we don't have A/C! Blah. I made us some homemade ice cream yesterday to help us cool down. Yum!

I think you have a great knack for it! What I learned in Chicago that was really important was finding and working in your niche, so that is awesome! The first photo is my fav!
