The new year always gives time for reflection. Simply put, 2010 was quite a year! I think about the things we did, the fun we had, the things I wish, about all we are blessed with, and about the things we survived! When I say “we”, I mean me and my husband, and our 4 beautiful kids. Quite frankly, I couldn’t do what I do without them. I might offer talent, but they add more spice, drive, love, support, and motivation. In 2010 our studio had many successes. Our photo of beautiful Savannah Lopez was featured on the cover of St. George Magazine Wedding Edition. Our work was also featured in the Edge Magazine, in Elan Woman Magazine, on MSNBC.com Dose of Reality, and on the cover of the Yellowbook phone book. We were also excited for the opportunity to do photography for our friend Eric Dodge for his new CD, “Why Not Today”. But one of the biggest honors was being featured on the cover of Elan Woman magazine (my talented husband was the photographer)!
Even more amazing are the relationships we have formed with so many wonderful people over the last year. We had high-profile business clients, beautiful models, starving students, prominent families, beautiful newborn babies, and every variety of people in between. We have been involved with so many fabulous events from Little League, to Hurley US Open Surfing Championships, to black-tie parties. With literally 1000′s of people landing in front of our lenses in 2010, we found beauty, personality, spunk, individuality, and inspiration around every corner and in every town we visited.
Here’s a little collage of just a few of the portraits and events we did over the last year.
So what’s to come in 2011? Well, I don’t know exactly, changes are happening almost too quickly for me to comprehend. Things are exciting, scary, uncertain, and exhilarating all at the same time. I do know, that at the end of 2011, I am certain, I will look back for a fleeting moment, learn from my mistakes, thank God for my successes, and then plow head on into 2012. One thing is for sure, I am glad to call so many of you my friends and look forward to sharing another year with you!

As many of you know, my brother is serving in Afghanistan. Lieutenant Russ Lofthouse has 164 soldiers in his unit and they LOVE candy! Are you looking for something to do with your HALLOWEEN CANDY? Now through Friday, November 12, you can drop your candy donations at Hot Shot Images, and we’ll send it to Afghanistan for the troops. Hot Shot Images, 1141 W. State, #6A, Hurricane, UT.

Mrs. Hinton’s second grade class is doing a candy drive and they are going to write letters to the soldiers. Children’s Dental, owned by Laurie and Jeremy Scholzen, are doing a candy buy-back.

The generous spirit people share never ceases to amaze me! Thanks everyone !!
I am so proud of my beautiful family! We recently did our family portraits and I was so excited to share! My husband and I have four wonderful children between us. We’re a his and mine family, but it works for us!
First, meet our beautiful daughter Cassie. Cassie is absolutely the most amazing, talented 12 year old girl in the world. She is quite the artist and great at sports.
Next is 10 yr old Bryson. He’s the coolest big brother around. There isn’t a sport that he’s not good at. And smart too… he’s a real engineer in the making!
Next is 7 year old #1. Zac is an entertainer in true form! He is always making people laugh with his antics, dancing, and practical jokes. He’s everyone’s best friend and one cool brother!
And this little beauty is 7 year old #2. Just 4 months younger than Zac, Carlie is the absolute opposite of Zac. It makes for a fun dynamic at home! She is sweet, loves to organize, loves to make people smile, and always logical. She is quite the little artist too!
So here we are, the Hot Shot Family…Kirc & Nissa, Cassie, Bryson, Carlie, and Zac. Thank you to all of our wonderful friends, family, and customers for the love and support over the last 3 years. We are truly blessed!
