Smile...It Confuses People

Yesterday someone shared this FANTASTIC picture with me and I laughed sooo hard...Seriously, if this doesn't make you AT LEAST crack a grin you are taking life WAY to seriously!

Now...go have a WONDERFUL day...and don't forget to SMILE! :)

Another Day at the Office

Things get a little crazy around this time of the year here at work (Bullfrog Spas). The three of us have to overhaul all of our marketing materials for the new model year. This means redesigning all of our brochures, owners' manuals, Showroom materials, dealer guides, and everything else we produce. Part of this process involves photo shoots to highlight the new product the will be introduced on Jan. 1st. Over the past few weeks we've had two of our photo shoots; one on location lifestyle shoot with professional models and another one in a studio to shoot all of the new product. I've been lucky to be dubbed the photographer for these shoots and even though I initially thought i'd gotten in over my head, things have actually turned out really well. Here are a few highlights from the past few weeks:


This is one of my favorites from the studio shoot.


This is our NeckBlaster JetPak.


Fall colors and a great mountain view. How would you like to have a back porch like that?

Great lighting! Nice red-orange glow as the sun goes down.

This is the older couple we used as models.

This is one of the younger models we used.

Nice view! This house belongs to our dealer up in Ogden and it's huge! I love all of the different types of lighting in this shot.

We are considering using this shot for the cover of our 2009 brochure

These photos will be used in all of the things we're redesigning now as well as in newspaper ads, billboards, websites, and other projects throughout the next year. It's really fun to see your work out in the public.

The Economy

My friend Clay showed this comic to me at work today. I thought it was pretty funny so I thought I'd share...

Salsa Time

For all of those who know me well, I am a self-proclaimed salsa guru. I believe that the quality of any given Mexican food restaurant can be determined by the goodness of the chips and salsa that they have for you to eat while waiting for your meal to come. Saturday I went up to Heber City to spend the afternoon with my mother-in-law and two sister-in-laws making our own homemade salsa. It actually didn't take near as long as what I thought that it would take and the finished product was YUMMY! I came home with 14 half-pint jars of fresh salsa...I think that should last Trav and I at least a couple months! :)
