Spring Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 16 May 2009 05:40:00 +0000

I was fortunate enough to be able to tag along on this gorgeous morning for a wedding. They were just a fun couple - totally natural in front of the camera! Elsie called and asked if I'd assist her, and I was so excited! I LOVE her work! I'm really looking forward to tagging along on a few more weddings through the summer.

This was her grandpa - he owns a few classic old cars (Rolls Royces, Mercedez, etc). He brought one of his Rolls to the temple to pick them up. It was so fun!

Thank you, Elsie for letting me tag along. I really learned alot and had a great time getting to know you better!

One Year Old Sweetness!

Happy One Year Birthday buddy!

Spring Special

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 04:16:00 +0000

Okay - we've had PLENTY of winter - I'm done! Let's think spring and it will come (I hope).

To urge Mother Nature in our favor, let's have a spring special...

I am going to offer you CASH! Come on - in these economic times, who couldn't use some extra 'green' in their pocket to put a little 'spring' in their step. So here's the deal...

You schedule a session. We set a date and I come and take pictures. I then give you the pictures on a disc. You tell a friend. Your friend schedules a session. I set a date with them and take their pictures. YOU get $20 - cash.

Your other friend mentions she would really like some new spring pictures of her kids. You tell her to call/email me. I set a date with her. I take the pictures. YOU get ANOTHER $20 - cash. Are you liking this? There is no limit to how much cash you can get - just keep telling your friends and when they call me and we finish our session - I plop down some money for you. All your friend has to do is mention that you sent them.

The only catch - this won't last long...May 10th is it!
So, if your friend calls me on May 9th and we have a photo session on May 24th, then YES you will still get the money (after the session has taken place)- but they have to call BEFORE May 10th.

Let me know if you have any questions - now go out, spread the word and make some MONEY, HONEY!!

PS: Spread the word on your blog, or on facebook/myspace - just make sure they tell me it was YOU who sent them. Use this image if you want...

(right click the image and click 'Save As' or 'Save Image As' - save to desktop -or where ever you want. Create a new post in your blog and add this picture - once added, click on the picture and on your tool bar click on the world with the little link. It will ask you to enter a URL - just enter either this blog address, or www.celestegrover.com - simple as pie!)

New Puppy

Oh, tell me...who can honestly resist a new puppy?!

Not me -

My sister-in-law just got a new pup and he's ADORABLE - a feisty little guy full of spunk. OOOOH - I wish he wasn't going to NYC to be with his momma. :(

B Family

New Year!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 08:01:00 +0000

I love fresh starts and new beginnings! I'm glad to welcome another year and hope it's one full of love and happiness for you!

With the new year, I am going to have some new pricing. I did a survey/poll and found that most of you would rather pay a higher fee and get the disc rather than a lower fee and pay for prints. So, I'm going to offer you what you want! $100 gets you the sitting AND the disc! The best of both, eh?

BUT...to ring in 2009, I am going to offer you 20.09% off for the month of January. Making your grand total $79.91! So, if you want some cute pictures in the snow, or in your home, or at a different location now's the time to book it!

Here's to a great new year full of change, hope, love, and peace (i hope!)...From my family - To Yours!

A Long Time Friend

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 06:26:00 +0000

I got to shoot a friend of mine from high school and his adorable family. His wife's sister and her family also came along - we had a great time! Thanks so much guys!

A Jolly Good Time

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 06:19:00 +0000

K - so my friends dad is Santa -- no lie! The guy has a real beard, and the best HO HO HO i've ever heard - even in his street clothes he gets the "santa' comment ALL THE TIME! I got to snap some shots of him and his grandkids (i snuck a few shots of my kids too...he he he he)

If you are ever in the need for a Santa, he's your guy! He's amazing!!

Beautiful Girls

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 17:26:00 +0000

Okay, really...? These girls are so dang cute - even if one of them was sorta grumpy. I had fun, even in the cold and wind.

Group Shot

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 05:56:00 +0000

Cute girls! I had the chance to shoot this fun Jr. High Spirit/Cheer team - They are all super cute and fun!

Change in the Air?

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 06:20:00 +0000

Lots of things are changing in our country...new president, new members of congress, new school board members, you get the idea...

Well, with all this change, I am considering a change in price for Studio C...I wanna know what you think -

I was thinking about increasing my sitting fee from $60 to $100 and including the CD of images in that price rather than charge an additional $40 for the low-resolution (up to 4x6 prints) disc. The CD would have all images in a higher resolution (up to 8x10). Any larger prints would need to be ordered through me so I could guarantee their quality. The prices on the larger prints will be VERY reasonable (if you wanna see prices of everything as it stands now, scroll down a little bit and on the right you'll see pricing).

SO....do me a favor and vote in the poll to the right >>>>>
You're the best! Thanks!
Celeste

ooooh - PS - if you leave a comment below, you will be entered into a drawing to get 50% off your session (based on the new pricing, that would only be $50 for the sitting and CD, or if you want the current pricing, the sitting would only be $30 - but wouldn't include the CD) - so leave a comment! Thanks a million!

Update

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 05:34:00 +0000

It's been a while - so here's a few updates for you -
First, is the J family - this is Ron's aunt and uncle - we always have a blast with them when we get together so we did some fun poses.

Then there was this beautiful family - Honestly, GORGEOUS! Their oldest daughter was hilarious! She was posing for me and I said "Oh, girl - you are gorgeous, these are going to be so cute!" and she said "Well, I've been doing this for 8 years!" I was busting up! (it was her 8th birthday the day we took these).

I also did my BFF and her little family -- talk about fun, and cute, and perfect day! We had fun and ADORE her little baby -- I can't wait to see the baby on the way....

Fall is LOVELY!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 06:19:00 +0000

And so is this cute family!!! Had a great time tonight -- thanks guys!

OOOH - Cowboy Cuteness!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:24:00 +0000

'Bout Time for an Update!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 20:51:00 +0000

I'm sure you've thought that I've vanished...oh no -- just been crazy busy! The kids started school in August, and long story short, I've been the volunteer mom for the month which means I hang out there the entire time - I've also had photo shoots, been designing Christmas Cards for my clients, and primary, and well - just life. It happens, ya know? So without further ado, I give you The G Family -

The 'B' Family -

My Sisters Family-

I've also been busy doing some shots for a new company called Pink Bench - They are the most amazing headbands on planet EARTH! Go check them out -- I've been doing their photography of product shots, as well as some model shots.
Recognize her?? (above?) If you do, it's because you've told a friend about me and gotten a big THANK YOU in the mail from me - she's on my postcard for FREE 8x10's when you send a friend my way for pics!

And, I musn't forget my own darlings:

Wow -- it's been a while, but I've been having fun- enjoying the fall colors that are quickly coming (and going). If you want to get some fall pictures call me to schedule soon! Before the leaves are gone -- plus you'll want a photo or two for your Christmas Card---Hope you have a great week!!!

Funny Video

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:13:00 +0000

This is pretty funny to watch - I did a photo shoot with my sister, and her 2 friends and their husbands and kids. I got 800 pictures and so I thought it would be fun to make a silly video with the shots - Enjoy!

Get Ready for some GIRL!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 03:49:00 +0000

I swear it seems like I've taken pictures of only newborn baby boys -- so I was THRILLED to be able to do this sweet angel girl! Everyone I know is either pregnant with a boy, or just recently had a boy, so I was pretty sure this was the last little girl on earth - except this mom and grandma told me they knew lots of people having girls. Either way, she is GORGEOUS!

Photo Challenge: Lines

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 06:17:00 +0000

Here's my submission - the challenge was lines - this is my banister.

Baby E

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 03:48:00 +0000

Okay -- remember baby bump in the post a little bit below...? Well, he's HERE! And CUTE as ever! I could have taken his picture all day -- he was so sleepy and dreamy and just so darn cute!

Pink Bench

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 05:50:00 +0000

So...for those of you that haven't seen THESE yet -- GO TO THEIR WEBSITE! These are the best headbands on earth - I PROMISE! I saw them at the Freedom Festival in Provo and fell in love. They stay on your head, and don't leave you with an aching headache. The materials they have on their website are not even 1/10 of the many they have available. I'm working on photographing many of their other styles, so stay tuned.

I recently just did a bunch of shots with their product to put on their website and to use in their booths. Thanks girls for the help - Some of these shots may soon be seen on their website:

What a GREAT couple!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 06:11:00 +0000

I had the chance to shoot this AWESOME couple this weekend! They were such a blast and so totally in love -- even after 2 years of marriage - they had fun dogs, although we had a hard time keeping them still and looking at the camera. They were great though and just wanted to explore the mountain - they didn't want a dang camera in their face - sheesh!

Thanks guys -- you were such good sports!

The Girls

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:08:00 +0000

Ron's friend/business partner has the most adorable girls! They are so sweet and have been great babysitters for my kids. Since moving here, I haven't had but 3 babysitters for my kids and they are 2 of them.

Photo Challenge: Where you Live

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 05:57:00 +0000

I'm not sure exactly what this challenge was looking for, but here are my submissions:

First, Utah Lake is about 2 miles from our home and we get blessed with this gorgeous view a lot

Second, in Utah, we celebrate the 24th of July. This date is significant to us because that's when the Mormon Pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. As a state we celebrate this holiday (it's almost bigger than the 4th of July). I thought this kinda fit the challenge since it's about where I live:
