Photography by Treasa

Well, I've been enjoying photography for a little while now and I finally decided to start a business with it. I have created a website which you should all go check out http://www.photographybytreasa.com/. The pricing isn't on there yet because I still haven't worked all the kinks out of that but its coming. I'm pretty excited to get started! So if anybody wants some pictures, let me know! :)

Here's some photos of my beautiful cousin as a bride. (The wedding pictures will be coming later, I haven't finished all the editing yet).

Super Busy!

A lot has happened since our Anniversary and I've been terrible at posting. In April, both my brother and my sister came home from their missions so we went on a family vacation at the end of the month. It was fun. First we went up to Park City and stayed in these really nice condos for $25 each! The All Seasons Resort Lodging is great, they have this deal for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. Since my dad and husband have been deployed to Iraq we were able to both get a two-bedroom condo with a kitchen and everything for just the $25 cleaning fee. We just hung out at the condos, watching movies and relaxing in the hot tub. The next day we went shopping at the Outlet Stores. Then later that day we headed down to Price and stayed in a motel there (not near as nice as the one in Park City, but it was decent). We spent the whole next day exploring Nine Mile Canyon and seeing the petroglyphs there. It was really cool! I'll have to post pictures of it later. That night we went home and slept in our own beds. The next day we were going to go hiking up by Logan, but it was raining all day so we just went to the church and played games. It was a great family vacation and a good time for Devan to get to know my brother and sister more since Daniel left on his mission less than a week after we got married and then Devan left for Iraq soon after that. Laura left for her mission while Devan was gone so he wasn't able to get to know either one of them before.
The week after our family vacation I went to Florida for work. We were having a convention there. The hotel we stayed at was really nice. It was 4.5 acres inside. My room had an inside balcony and the view was beautiful, it looked like I was looking outside. I didn't get to enjoy much of the room or Florida though because I worked 31 hours of overtime that week! It was exhausting! We were working from 7 am until 10 or 11 pm pretty much every day we were there. My feet were super swollen by the time I got back home, but the paycheck was really nice!
As soon as I got back from convention, I had to start working on a slide show video that I was making for Laura and Daniel of their missions because their homecoming was the next Sunday. I also got called as the Young Women Camp Director in my ward and I took Vanessa and Yahosh's engagement pictures. And we got pre-approved for a loan so we can start looking for a house. And we just got a gym membership at 24 hour fitness so we can get back in shape. Basically, life has been super busy lately, but its all been good stuff! We're loving it!

Engagement Photos

This past weekend I took engagement photos for the very first time! My cousin Vanessa and soon-to-be cousin Yahosh are getting married next month and they let me take their pictures! I was excited because now I can start building my portfolio so I can do stuff like this more often. Vanessa and Yahosh are the cutest couple so it was nice to be able to start with them. I was a little nervous because I really wanted them to turn out well, but I think I did a pretty good job. What do you think?

Our 2nd Anniversary!

Our anniversary was on April 12th, Easter. So we decided to celebrate it a little earlier so it wouldn't interfere with all the family stuff for Easter. The Friday night before Easter, we stayed at Castle Creek Inn in the Ivanhoe room. It was awesome! I'll post some pictures of it.


And Devan is so sweet! He has Fridays off but I have to work so he made dinner while I was at work and brought it with him to pick me up from work. We went straight to the Bed & Breakfast and ate the delicious homemade dinner on the balcony of our room. It was porcupine balls (ground beef mixed with rice, formed into balls with seasoned tomato sauce and green peppers poured on top and then baked in the oven). The room was awesome and so was breakfast the next morning. They even make sure its gluten-free for me.


I still can't believe its already been two years! Its been great, other than the year he was in Iraq. lol. We love being married and we can't wait til we can add kids to our family too!

Conference Weekend

This past weekend was conference and I absolutely loved it! The talks were great, the weather was great, and Devan didn't have drill so I got to spend it with him! Sunday afternoon I was at my parent's house and I brought my camera because my little brother Ferrin needed a new picture. The most recent photo we had of him was when he was like 12. He's almost 16 now so he's changed quite a bit. Anyway, I took a couple pictures of Nolan as well because he's so cute and I thought this one was the best. He looks like he's ready to hook up the trailer. :)

Here are a couple of the pictures I took of Ferrin. I think they turned out pretty well.

The only problem was I fell and scraped my leg after I took the pictures. It looks pretty disgusting, but its really not that bad. It was definitely worth it.

The Ball

Last night was the annual military ball at the Capitol. I went with Devan and his Dad and brothers. We had lots of fun. First we went out to dinner at P.F. Chang's. We had reservations, but they didn't have a table ready so we still had to wait 30 minutes to be seated so the manager came to our table later and let us know that he would be taking care of the soups and appetizers for everyone. Then when our checks came, we found out that they only took it off of Devan's parents' check. Devan and I had the regular price on ours and his brothers were actually being charged extra! I think the waitress had to take about 3 trips to and from our table with the checks before they finally got it figured out right! It was kind of crazy, but the food was really good and it was a lot of fun. I really do love P.F. Chang's! We finally got out of there and made it to the ball, which was a lot different than I expected. They had a rock band and a swing band there to play the songs, but they only played like two slow songs the whole time we were there! I enjoyed dancing to the other songs as well, but Devan doesn't like to dance much and I guess his family doesn't either cause I was pretty much the only one in our group that danced to the fast songs. Oh well, I still had lots of fun and I would want to go again sometime. Probably not every year, but sometime I would like to go again. Here's some pictures from the ball. We decided to take pictures before the dance so we didn't have to wait in line forever and because its a lot cheaper to take your own. Here they are!

I got a promotion!!

I've been working as a customer service rep at a place called 4Life Research and for the longest time I've been wanting to be a trainer there. Well, the position finally opened up! 11 people applied for the position and I was the one chosen! I will be helping with the New Employee Training and the twice a month training that we have for everyone else in customer service. I will also be working on updating documents and things like that. I am so excited!
