This gorgeous gal happens to be my cousin. She's such a cutie, and talented at that! She's going to sing a solo at her graduation ceremony. That takes some guts. Definitely not something I could do!

Congratulations!!

This cute little girl was so good! She has such pretty eyes and gorgeous long eyelashes. We had fun shooting using some meaningful blankets and posing in front of her Mom's cool family furniture.

What a cute little boy!! (I would say that, he IS my own after all) He was just a few weeks old in these.
Gotta love the binkies that are just as big as their face!
And all his sweet hair...
And his announcement.

the C family - holy Snow!

I took this cute little family's pictures a little over a year ago, before they had their adorable little girl! I feel like I have improved since then, and I SO hope I have. You never really know for sure when you're the only one looking at your pictures on a regular basis...

We woke up to a mini blizzard this morning, but decided to tough it out anyway! The kids were SO good, this little boy seriously loves trains and was just excited to see them. I'm loving pictures with snow more and more. It's fun!

The weather was marvelous this day!! I love it when there is snow outside but the sun is still shining. Even if it is just a little bit. I loved their nice mellow colors, they complimented the surroundings nicely.

the B family

We had fun doing this shoot, even though it was pretty chilly! These two brothers are super energetic, and had fun wrestling around. The girls were of course polite and very modelesque! These are my favorites!

And their Christmas card -

This is actually my family! I was able to take them "myself", with the help of a tripod. It was tiring running back and forth in heels, but we got it done!

This was my largest family to date. A little intimidating, but we worked it out. They had a lot of pretty space to work with, and that was awesome. Not to mention the men were totally outnumbered by all the girls!

2009 Graduates

2009-06-18T00:08:00.001-06:00

I haven't posted in forever so here's some seniors to get me caught up!
This is J, he has many interests that include snowboarding, fishing, basketball and his mission!

This is L. He enjoys wearing a shirt and tie, and was excited to wear his Superman cuff links!

I like this one just because it's so funny! He totally surprised me and climbed up there by himself. - Only because boys are harder to get to do things! -

This is J. She and L both graduated from the same school. Isn't she gorgeous?! Her eyes are the coolest color ever.

This is the announcement I made for her.

Congrats Graduates!

the cutest baby girl!

I got to take pictures of my new adorable niece a couple weeks ago. She's so cute and chubby, and has a ton of dark hair that sticks straight up! She was so good and slept the whole time. It was a lot of fun!

With her big brother!

I love how they are so hairy everywhere!

And the announcement I made up!

just for fun

Here are some more of my family... I haven't taken pictures for awhile, but I had to post something! We went sledding a few weeks ago, so there are a few from that, and then the last two are the fun glasses and jacket my daughter got for Valentines day.
My husband/super hero :) I always like to see how it looks with different conversions!

I'm doing some engagements at the end of this month, and then a wedding the first week of April, so there will be more!

a natural!

I was fortunate enough to take this pretty lady's pictures this week! She's definitely a natural, and posed like a pro. I was glad she was willing to try all my "different" ideas! The snow was coming down so we did most of them inside, but we ventured out for a quick second to get a couple in the pretty snowflakes. It turned out great!

snow!

This is my little girl. She loves snow! We were lucky and woke up to a mini snow storm the other morning. I just love the light that's on her face... so here's a couple different conversions.

These were taken on the day of Sierra and Mike's wedding. It was such a gorgeous day! It was so nice and warm, it couldn't have been better. Here are a few, mostly the same. I was just playing around with conversions and couldn't pick which one I liked best.

check out that dress!

After taking Sierra and Mike's engagements, I was lucky enough to do Sierra's bridals. It was a stormy day, so we ended up going to a few different places. It was another freezing day, thanks to the wind and the rain! I think we got some good ones though, and she's such a beautiful bride. Here are a lot of my favorites.

Mike & Sierra

2009-01-14T22:53:00.000-07:00

It was freeeezing this day, but we managed! Or I managed, I was the one with a coat! They were troopers, walking through the snow and trying not to look cold.

We just happened to find these doors with "a lot" written on them!

the C family - merry christmas!

2008-12-06T22:51:00.000-07:00

These are ALL my in-laws. We had a great time trying to get all the kids to smile and position everybody just right! You can't really tell, but these were taken just this past December, it was a pretty warm day!

2008-10-14T22:50:00.000-06:00

This is my sister in-law and her husband with their adorable little boy. They were kind enough to let me practice on them, and it was such a great crisp fall day!

I did this little session in July of 2008. So quite awhile ago. I figured since this was my first "shoot", I should start here and I can track my progress that way. The goal is to have better and better pictures anyway, right? Hopefully I'll be able to see that! Looking at these pictures now, I would love to put them in Photoshop and do some editing, but that would defeat the purpose! Bear with me!

My aunt asked me to take some updated pictures of her 5 beautiful girls. We went to a park, and although it was hot we had fun. The twins who are the youngest, did pretty well!
