			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>For those who don&#8217;t follow me on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Christina.P.Photography?ref=sgm" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, (click and press &#8220;like&#8221;, facebook gets updated a bit more than the blog) you probably don&#8217;t know that  the P. Family is moving! In about a week we will be calling Highland,  Utah home sweet home! The hubbie has been working up in Orem for the  last 10 months making it home every other weekend. We probably should  have made the move back when he first got the job, but we didn&#8217;t want to  pull the kids out of school. I am a total St. George girl, so moving to  Happy Valley should be interesting.  I hear all of these Utah County  girls wear high heels everyday.  Please tell me it&#8217;s not true!! I can&#8217;t wear heels, they kill my feet after 2 minutes!  It&#8217;s ok.  I am not scared. I am excited for this new adventure!  But don&#8217;t be shocked when I am still in my PJ&#8217;s {and slippers} at 4pm.  So beginning sometime at the end of July, I will be scheduling sessions  for anyone interested up that way:) If you would like to schedule something now or have questions,  shoot me an <a href="http://christinapphotography.com/contact.php" target="_blank">email</a>! For all of my St. George peeps: No worries!!!! I will  be traveling down south often to visit family and squeeze a little work  in:)</h3>
<h3>I want to say THANK YOU to all of my wonderful clients/friends I have made along the way.   Seriously! You have all been so great! I have met so many amazing people  since starting this business and I am thankful for that! I am super excited to get my business going up in Utah County! I have been shocked at how many people have already contacted me about doing pictures! You all make me feel so special! Thank you for all of your support! Sorry for the   cheesiness!</h3>
<h3>I am going to bed now! Peace out!</h3>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">The P. kids like always, keepin it real!</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>So my oldest kiddo turned 9 on August 15.  In the past years, we would throw these huge birthday parties, rent the big waterslides, the whole works. Well, once my 4th kid came along and they all have summer birthdays, I try to keep the birthday parties low key just with fam.  So Weston&#8217;s birthday this year landed on a Sunday. We hadn&#8217;t talked about a friend party so I wasn&#8217;t going to bring it up. It was Wednesday and he says, so we are having my birthday party at <a href="www.laser-mania.com" target="_blank">Laser Mania</a> on Saturday, right? Um&#8230;&#8230;ok.  Crap.  I didn&#8217;t have the heart to say no.  He loves the Halo game on the xbox.  He wanted it a themed Halo party.  Who does he think I am, Martha Stewart?  I guess Laser Mania is kinda Halo themed.  So I decided to add a little more Halo-ness with his invites.  So I made these in photoshop.  Weston helped me pick out the Halo pictures {thanks google images}.  We added his cute face to them {thanks photoshop} and walla, he is a halo guy.</h2>
<h2>He was so excited, he hands me a couple dollars and says, &#8220;Here mom, I want to pay you since you are spending so much time on this invitation.&#8221;  How cute is that?  So I took the money and went and got a diet coke.</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">JUST KIDDING!</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">So here are the pictures that we did.</h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Today, my little photog company is being featured on <a href="http://www.simplyut.com" target="_blank"></a></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.simplyut.com" target="_blank">SimplyUT.com</a>.</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1359" href="http://christinapphotography.com/2010/05/christina-p-is-on-simplyut-com/picture-1-2/" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1359" title="Picture 1" src="http://www.christinapphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Picture-11.png" alt="" width="840" height="212" /></a></h3>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">You have to go and check it out.  Make sure you have an afternoon available though, because there is a lot of GREAT stuff!!</h2>
<h2><a href="http://www.simplyut.com" target="_blank">Simply Utah</a> was started by two sisters. They love it here, and all that Utah has to offer, but were sick of seeing so many adorable products and not being able to track them down; thus, a new website was born!</h2>
<h2><a href="http://www.simplyut.com" target="_blank">Simply Utah</a> is a site where you can find some of the most unique and creative products out there!  <a href="http://www.simplyut.com" target="_blank">Simply Utah</a> features a different company Monday through Friday.  The highlighted company will also provide a product or service at a discounted price for the day.</h2>
<h2><a href="http://www.simplyut.com" target="_blank">Simply Utah</a> is working toward having the largest online directory for creative businesses, specifically within the state of Utah.  You’ll be able to find what you’re looking for all on one site, and with one click you’ll be directed to their blog or website.</h2>
<h2>Another thing they do is advertise for local boutiques and shows throughout the state of Utah.  In their EVENTS tab, you’ll be able to locate a local boutique, their hours, and a map for directions to their event.</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">I can tell ya that these girls are on the ball and I love their website!!  Thanks so much <a href="http://www" target="_blank">Simply Utah</a>!</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>My friend <a href="http://bethistarrphotos.com">Bethi</a> and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful blooms at the orchards.  We set a day to go out and take our kids to get spring pictures.  I haven&#8217;t had very good luck in getting a &#8220;we are so happy&#8221; picture of my kids all together.  As you can see from <a href="http://http://christinapphotography.com/2010/01/note-to-self/">this post.</a> I was so glad that Bethi was there to witness it.  People don&#8217;t believe me when I say how my kids are so dang anti-getting-their-pictures-taken.  Its not like there is just one of them that hates it.  All 4 of them!  They feed off of each others hatred towards the camera.  Anyhoo,  with a little body swapping I was able to get an ok one.  I guess in a way its not a &#8220;real picture&#8221; because my daughter wasn&#8217;t even in the original, but if I want all of my kids in a picture, I gotta do, what I gotta do.  I don&#8217;t love it because my daughter is not in focus as much as the boys.  Its the best I could get out of the pictures we had. I will take you through the process a bit.</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: left;">I finally got to do my BFF&#8217;s pictures!  We go way.far.back. Lindsay left me a few years ago and moved up to Idaho.  She comes all the way back to Utah to visit me a couple times a year. She loves me that much.  OK.  Her mom and brother still lives here too, but if they didn&#8217;t, she would still drive 10 hours to come see me.  If anything, we have gotten closer since she moved because we talk on the phone 14 times a day.  Actually, since photography has come into my life, and another kid into hers, its probably closer to 12.   Hopefully this summer I can make a trip out there to visit. We will have to see what the hubbers says.</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">{Hint, hint.  Honey-bunches-of-oats, are you reading this?}</h4>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">I was looking forward to seeing this cute fam cuz the youngest baber and I had not ever met in person.  Holy Cuteness!!  I love her.  She is so good and mellow.  She is just happy to be hangin out.   Thanks Linds for letting me take your pictures {like you really had a choice}.  Your kids where perfecto!!!!   Especially considering we did extended family pictures right after their session.  Stay tuned for those!</h3>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">I laughed when I zoomed in on baby {K}&#8217;s eyes.  There&#8217;s Bumma Mags {granny} shaking her keys trying to get the babers attention and me snapping away. So of course I accentuated it and zoomed in so I could share it with you all!!  I love eyeballs.</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>So last week, I had the opportunity to attend WPPI {Wedding &amp; Portrait Photographers International.} It is this super huge convention/tradeshow for photographers.  You get to go to amazing classes and walk around the tradeshow and see lots of goodies!  I went down with my friend <a href="http://www.andiwatkins.com" target="_blank">Andi Watkins</a>.  We stayed at my friend Teresa&#8217;s house. She is the hostess with the mostess. Hot breakfast every morning!  Can&#8217;t beat that!  Thanks so much T!  .It was a blast!</h3>
<h3>The classes were all amazing!  My faves were the <a href="http://salleephotography.com/wordpress2/">Sallee&#8217;s</a>, and <a href="http://www.jasminestarblog.com/">Jasmine Star</a>.  Talk about inspiration! I learned so many things that I look forward to implementing into my business. During the Sallee&#8217;s class, they were giving away a bunch of goodies throughout the class.  They would have a question pop up on the projector and they said that whoever was the craziest, most insane person that had the answer right, would win.  There was a ton of crazy photog people in there, so I was not really feeling in the mood to get all crazy psycho and still not win.  So after the first couple questions had popped up {both of the answers being Las Vegas}, the Sallee&#8217;s mention that on the next question, they had 3 prizes to giveaway.  OK.  That upped my odds.  They said they had a <a href="http://www.dropitmodern.com/">Drop it Modern Backdrop</a> {I want one}, a 20X30 Gallery Wrapped Canvas {been coveting forever!!}, and something else I can&#8217;t remember.  So Andi whispers too me, &#8220;You need to get crazy and win that backdrop for us to share!&#8221;  She told me to stand up on the chair if I had too!  So I tell her to make sure she holds on tight to my chair because I knew that when the craziness came out, who knows what could happen.  So the question was asked, the answer was Las Vegas.  I go flying up onto my chair screaming over and over again, &#8220;LAS VEGAS, LAS VEGAS, LAS VEGAS!!&#8221;  I also added a the Arsenio Hall fist pump: HOO, HOO, HOO, HOO.  Anybody know what I am talking about?  So of course crazy girl in black shirt {me} is picked as one of the winners.  So I run up to the front before any of the other winners.  That way I could get first dibs on the prizes.  They ask me what I want, and I know I am supposed to be a good friend and get the back drop, but I am having flashes in my head of my bare front entry wall that would look amazing with a FREE 20X30 Gallery Wrap.  So I get the gallery wrap.  Ya that&#8217;s the kind of friend I am.  During their class, I also caught a Tshirt, so I gave that to Andi.  See I am nice.</h3>
<h3>Sorry no pictures.  I remember reading somewhere that you can spot the wanna-be&#8217;s  at WPPI because they are the ones walking around with camera&#8217;s around their necks.  I am so not a wannabe, I am the real deal so you were not going to see a camera around my neck!!</h3>
<h3>But now I wish I would have taken more pictures with my phone!</h3>
