The Huber Family - Huber Farms - Gillette, Wyoming

We have the pleasure for capturing the Huber families portraits at their family farm each year. We couldn’t be more astonished with this beautiful family. They not only raise animals, active participants in 4-h with their kiddos, but they also grow an array for fresh vegitables, herbs, fruits, flowers, etc. their commercial size green House was the perfect setting for this years session.  

As we coordinated this session, we took a step back in time, to bring out a vintage-vibe! We love everything about this sweet family, their business, kindness, and genuine personalities. When we said our goodbyes, they sent me out the door with a fresh bouquet of flowers, tomatoes and zucchinis picked fresh from the garden. This incredibly generous family, and awe inspiring session is why we love what we do! Join us on a little trip down memory lane as we share this years family session, at Huber Farms.  

Local Boutique Styling Session

 What does it mean to style your session?

many photographers will recommend you "style" your session. In simple words, this means to find COMPLETE outfits that will coordinate well together for your senior/family/engagement/event portraits. From the shirt/pants dress, to accessories and shoes. Coordinating patterns, textures and colors that highlight your personality, body and style will help you feel more comfortable, and beautiful for your session with our studio. 

I dont know of you're like me or not, but when planning what to wear, it's tough! I may try on ten outfits, and still be stuck on what looks best, or what shoes to wear.  The struggle truly is real. Lucky for you and me, there are talented women out there who assist with this endeavor everyday. They will take your size, color and style, and help you find something absolutely perfect for YOU!! Pictures don't have to be stressful! Take some of the weight of your shoulders - & accept help!

Shopping for your wardrobe with knowledgeable professionals/stylists, getting your hair or makeup done, dramatically relieves you of a lot of the session woes. Get dolled up!! You will be the most happy with the outcome if you take the time to feel confident, comfortable (without your sweats) and beautiful.

Styling is one thing we are starting to recommend to all our clients this year. Styling your portrait sessions is key to the outcome of your time with our studio. Proper styling assures you are well accessorized, with complimenting wardrobe that will flatter your body type, and highlight your individuality.

In our 2017 session guide, we have a list of preferred vendors, and boutiques we recommend to our lovely clients. Tin Wagon Boutique is new to our styling guide this year, but being that the shop is local, take advantage! No more shopping online and having to order three outfits hoping one will work! Kaylee and her team are wonderful assets to utilize when planning wardrobe for your session.

We wanted to share this video link Kaylee shared on her page regarding what "styling" means. Please take advantage of this unique service, as it truly helps a portrait session come together!

New Office Space

Our studio announced some big news this previous week! We officially signed our lease to the new studio location! As most of you know, due to circumstances beyond our control, PhoenixPhotos moved home to our personal residence until we were able to find the picture perfect location! Well, with the help of the best realtor in town - we found it. Nice big open spaces, lots of natural light, but most importantly - a space that's just for us! That's right, no more sharing! ​

​Our last location downtown, we were unable to officially move completely in, and call ours! We were located in a dark basement, that had more of an apartment set up! It was difficult for mammas with babies carrying car seats. It was a struggle to keep warm enough for newborn session.... it was a work in progress. We were located in that location for 9 months.... when the landlord decided to do something different with the space! We were on the lookout for the right opportunity.

We appreciate our clients continued trust in us as your photographers, while we underwent these significant changes. We can hardly wait to show you all the new space! I haven't even unpacked our camera equipment, but was able to snap a couple portraits on my phone this afternoon. 

Whats nice is to seperate our office, and session prep area (hair/makeup) from the actual studio space. Leaving ample room for our clients comfortability. We will welcome our studio guests into a small sitting area, perfect for all our consultations for weddings, grow with me plans, and senior sessions! As you make your way through the room, we have plenty of space for multiple set ups!!! (***huge plus for me!!***)​ This simply means when you arrive to the studio, your entire session is already set up, and ready to go! No more waiting while we replace backdrops. No more down time attempting to keep little ones happy and occupied! Another big perk, is your littles are free to wander! With a larger space, it means we are able to not worry about them knocking something over, or getting into our filing cabinet! 

We are all geared up and ready to fo​r our indoor studio sessions this year. You'll have to bear with us, we made this jump, and are working tirelessly to get it all set up. Once our final touches are made, we will share images of the space! Until then, feel free to stop on by and say hello!! 

Coming this summer: Office hours and walk in appts! ​
