Elizabeth Taylor Frandsen Photography bio picture

Liz

I am many things to many people, but beneath the labels, I am simply one who creates.

Even professionally, I won't be separated from my family.

I love waking up to the soft spoken "mommy" of a happy toddler.

I love living.

My mind never stops racing because it's happily fueled by passion.

I've always loved my husband. Always.

I am only one, but that's just enough.

 

   

Valentine Portrait Special


Photobucket


SO Valentine’s Day happens to be one of my favorite holidays. And this year I wanted to share the love.

Book a “Be My Valentine” session for you (your significant other would LOVE to see you looking your best) or you & your valentine together flirting it up (even if you’re old and married it’s still okay to act like you love each other).

What if you don’t have a valentine this year? Love yourself! Seriously. Book a session for yourself. Having a fabulous picture of yourself is not vain, it’s smart and one of the best natural highs around.

SO what’s this “special” include? One hour shooting time at a location of your choice in the greater Salt Lake Valley. More images than you’ll ever need, full-res, on a DVD, begging to be printed. AND if you’re the first, second, or third person to book your session, a BONUS little black book album. The albums are already here, in my office. So if you are on the ball we totally have time to shoot & get your album ready to give for the ultimate valentine gift (just make sure you email me asap so we can set a date soon).

If you’d love to give your session as a gift I’ll package up a sweet gift certificate for you that your valentine can unwrap. Just let me know!

What if you’re number four in the booking count (I’ll let you know before you actually book)? Well, your pictures will still be fabulous, and you’ll still be getting a discount off my regular portrait pricing. But alas, no album for free. Can you still order one? Absolutely?

How do you book a Valentine special?? Just email me at liz@etfphotography.com or fill out the contact form on my blog/website and mention this special. Payment in full is due at the time of booking. And I will have to add sales tax because that’s what the IRS says.

Do it. Your Valentine will love you. Way alot.

What’s that you ask? Can I take pictures of your kids with this special. Sure. Anyone you love. You better believe my girls make the top of my Valentine list as well. Just one notch down from Jordan of course ;)

Hair & Makeup

Last weekend I had the opportunity to reconnect with a few of my past brides (and maybe future too!) to shoot some images for the hair & makeup portfolios of Brennan & Tia. It’s so fun to see fresh talent in the wedding industry. I wish them both the best of luck.

First up I shot two models for Brennan. To see more from her shoot click HERE. To visit her website go HERE.

UBB feature & 2012 wedding trends


Photobucket



I had really good intentions of getting a full blog post up for you today, but my girls think I need to play with them. And I think they’re getting big way too fast, so they’re probably right. I tried to take their pictures this week and it was a total bust. So I’m going to try again on Saturday. Wish me luck. They’re by far my hardest subjects.

In the meantime, it’s Sam & Britney week. The Utah Bride Blog is featuring their Blacktie session today. So hop on over there and see what they have to say about 2012 wedding trends. I can tell you one thing, this years trend, inspired by the royal wedding, are totally up my alley. Also, if you haven’t already, make sure to read posts from this week on the Salt Lake Bride & Groom blog. They’re doing a series on Something Old & Something New and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it.

Timeless


Photobucket

These are the kind of wedding photos that you pass down through generations, and after a while, no one knows when they were taken because they’re totally timeless (yet way not boring!). No bird cages for these two (a bit of an inside joke). Now that we’ve dappled in the seriously stunning side of life, I’m looking forward to next week and the moments, laughter and smiles that their wedding day will surely bring!
