My 5 Life Goals | Amber Prusse Photography

Sep 17, 2018

I know I can't teach my children how to be good people, unless I am that example for them. So that means, I have to be my best self. And this is ever changing. I am not the person who I thought I would be five years ago. I am constantly trying to learn how to be better. This doesn't mean I have to be perfect. Oh heck no! This means I try my hardest to be the best I can be with the tools I have.

My Most Embarrassing Moment | Amber Prusse Photography

Sep 10, 2018

I'm scared of snakes. I hate snakes. They are the worst creatures on the entire planet. They suck and I hate them. Like, I kind of wish Noah would have just left them behind during the flood. They are nasty.

When I was a little girl, I ran into three rattlesnakes in one summer. And my dad said if I ran into one more that summer, I would have to kill it myself. Luckily, I didn't have to! So yeah. I have a huge fear of snakes. So here goes my most embarrassing moment as a photographer.

Nothing like a freshly married couple under a veil after booking it outside after a massive rain storm. It’s basically the best❤️

“Your Heavenly Father loves you—each of you. That love never changes. It is not influenced by your appearance, by your possessions, or by the amount of money you have in your bank account. It is not changed by your talents and abilities. It is simply there. It is there for you when you are sad or happy, discouraged or hopeful. God’s love is there for you whether or not you feel you deserve love. It is simply always there.” —Thomas S.

My uncle is into really weird movies. Last month he had us watch Space Odessy 2001 and my mind about exploded with weirdness. It was like I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t! So then he invited us over for the sequel and I just couldn’t say no. • So my question for you! What is the weirdest movie you’ve ever watched?? . . . . . #amberprussephotography #landscape #montanasky #nightscape #starynight #naturephotography #utahgram #spaceodyssey2001

Can’t believe it’s been over a year since I put together this Downton Abbey inspired shoot. It was basically the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen 😍 . . . . . #amberprussephotography #utahwed #utahwedding #gatewaybridal #utahvalleybride #utahvalleyweddingphotographer #castleparkevents #utahcountyweddingphotographer #slcweddingphotographer #ldsweddingphotographer

During your session, I make sure everyone is happy and is looking good! I always make sure we get the "grandma shot" first. (The one that grandma is going to want on her family wall. The one where you are all looking at the camera.) Then we get into the fun candid poses! I like to go through a series of poses and combinations of people in your family. We also go to a couple of different locations around the area to make sure we take advantage of all the beauty Utah has to offer. I'm basically super lucky to be a Utah photographer because there is no lack of awesome locations! . . . . #amberprussephotography #utahweddingphotographer #utahwed #utahwedding #utahfallphotographer #utahcountyphotographer #utahvalleyphotographer #utahfamilyphotographer #utahisrad #beutahful #utahgram #risingtidesociety #shootandshare #utahphotographer

Ever see the TV show Parenthood? I watched this show a few years ago, and I knew that is the kind of community that I wanted for me. I wanted my family close. I wanted to get together often. I wanted to be able to support my siblings when I needed too. I wanted my parents and in-laws to be amazing grandparents to their grandchildren and to be a major part of their life. I want the closeness. I want the big backyard summer bbq's and the serious and not so serious talks about life. And when the time comes, I hope that my children will stay close and we will have bbq's at my house every Sunday. I hope that my kids will want to come home and feel safe there.

I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of soul searching lately. It’s been awesome, hard, life changing and basically I’ve been crying a lot. But thinking seriously about what I want out of life has been very healing for me in a way that I didn’t know. So I wrote one of the most vulnerable posts I’ve ever written! I think you’ll notice a theme and learn about my number 1 priority. Read about my five current life goals on the blog! . . . . . . #amberprussephotography #90daysofmarketing #utahnewbornlifestylephotographer #utahnewbornphotographer #utahweddingphotographer #utahwed #lifegoals #risingtidesociety #selfportrait #mastinlabs

Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. Let one never come to you without feeling better and happier. — Mother Teresa

I love doing first looks and bridal sessions a few weeks before the actual wedding day because we have time and we can relax. So many times during the wedding day, everything seems so rushed and busy. We have to worry about keeping to a schedule and making everyone else happy. But with a bridal session, we get to take our time. We get to choose the time of day we do the session to ensure that perfect light.

I pride myself in having a great system for getting through family photos quickly. I have come up with a pattern, that if followed and everyone sticks around and pays attention, will make family photos go very quickly so everyone can get to the food. I always keep some incentives (smarties and fruit snacks) in my bag to help kiddos smile and stay happy during this process. . . . . . #amberprussephotography #utwedding #utahweddingphotographer #utahwedding #utahwed #utahvalleywedding #utahvalleyweddingphotographer #utahcountyphotographer #utahfamilyphotographer #utahcountyfamilyphotographer

Chad and Janet! What an awesome pair. My favorite part of this bridal session was Chad's reaction to Janet when seeing her for the first time.

You see, Janet had been lying to Chad about her dress this whole time. She said that it had a victorian collar, fringe sleeves that dangled and that it was so big that she couldn't drive herself to the bridal session. I was there once for the description of this dress and I must say, she was pretty convincing that I wasn't even sure what to think! But when she showed up, I knew that Chad was going to be surprised. And only in good ways.

And let me say, I have never shot at the State Capitol before, but I am so glad I did. This is such an amazing, beautiful spot! Gah! Love it <3
