FunnyFace Photography bio picture

"Hi, I'm Mike and this is my wife Deborah, we're like a team."

Mike & I have been married for almost 10 years, we have two very cute boys and we now live in Farmington, Utah.  We have been in business together for the last 6 years and we both love taking relaxed, non-traditional photos of people who love to have fun!

We love capturing cheesy smiles, dirty feet, and kissing!  We love bear hugs, laughing out loud, messy hair, skinned knees and baby drool.  But most of all, we LOVE love.  

For us, everything about the art of photography boils down to LOVE.  We love each other, we love what we do, and we love to hang out with families and couples that love one another!  The details of each session are always different... except for the love.

It really is all you need.

K.I.S.S.I.N.G in S.L.C.

After I went thru and picked some favorites to blog I realized that most of them were kissing photos, that happens to me all the time, I just LOVE love!  I especially love love when it comes so easy to people.  Jeff & Joleen had no shortage of love, it made for a lovely evening of shooting photos!

Andi Watkins - Oooh Deb, I LOVE them so much!! you are so lucky to have all these rad new locations!!! Kinda makes me want to move too... but for now I will just swoon...January 26, 2010 - 12:31 pm

you are beautiful

Also, while I was in St. George, I did a few mini sessions for some cute girls.  They were all good friends of mine and they were all amazing models for me!  The great thing about having awesome friends and family is that they let me do whatever I want when it comes to photography and I know that they completely trust in my vision, for me that is freeing.   It is also very fun!!  I just have two to show you today but I hope you enjoy!  Happy Wednesday!

5 years ago…

My blog is coming up on it’s 3rd birthday.  Yay blog!!  The other day I was thinking about all the things I did before I started blogging and I thought to myself  ”Self, those things should be blogged!”  So, I went back to the beginning.  2004 was the year I shot my very first wedding, I have a special place in my heart for the people who hired my back then, the faith they showed in me changed my life.  I think I shot 6 weddings that year.  Elliot and Kori were married at the end of 2004 and since then we have kept in touch and become great friends.  Looking thru their photos made me smile.  I picked a few and played with them in photoshop a bit (I didn’t have photoshop back in 2004).  I hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!

Don’t forget to CLICK HERE for an awesome Christmas gift idea!

Kori Dutton - Hey, they are great! Yeah, Elliot and I are coming up on 5 years now. I can't believe how far you've come since then. You are absolutely amazing and I'm in LOVE with your photography! I always have been. It was fun to see them re-worked. MERRY CHRISTMAS! KoriDecember 12, 2009 - 7:39 pm

Favorites of a Utah Child Photographer {part 1}

I was looking around on my computer the other day and I came across a folder of photos that I have blogged over the past year and a half and I just fell in love with them all over again!  So, I decided to put together a post of photos that jumped out at me.  I am tied to something in each of these photos, some of them for the subjects and some for things like lighting and composition.  But all of them are a part of me and what I love so I am going to share them again with you.  Enjoy!
