2012-12-31T15:05:00.000-08:00

Wow what a great year 2012 has been!! I am wayy behind on my blog as usual, I knoe I know six months behind to be exact. It is hard to keep up with my website,blog and Facebook. For my most recent posts and photos become a fan on Facebook! I do alot more posting there.I want to thank all of my wonderful 2012 clients! This year has been an amazing fun roller coaster ride. Weddings,families,newborns,kids,engagments and my very first birth story. The birth I photographed was one of the most amazing shoots I have had the honor to be included in.I hope 2013 will bring more opportunities for me to grow as a birth photographer. Today I am going to post some storyboards of some of the weddings I shot in 2012. Weddings are such a happy place for me. I hope you enjoy looking as these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them. A special thank you to Louland Falls. This wedding property is simply breathtaking. If you have never seen it you must check it out!! I also have to say Thank You to the most caring,amazing,and selfless man I know. He happens to be my sweet husband and he is handsome to boot!! I could not do this without him. I get crazy running around like a mad woman and he is there to help out with all the other things in our lives and he encourages me to follow this dream. I hope all of you have a wonderful night as we look to the year ahead. Thank you all so much for making my dream become a reality!!!! Now on to the pictures!!

So as usual I have been absent from my blog! Yayyy summer is here and the kids have been out of school for a week and I am already hearing " Im bored", "I have nothing to do" well kiddos I have a house that could use some scrubbin and it is calling your name. They all of the sudden become very busy...................... I have been super busy lately and so this post is just going to be different photos from a few sessions. One of these days I will become super organized and post wonderful spotlight photos from each session I do. Until then you will have to settle for my randomness. I have been loving my engagement sessions. These couples have been cracking me up! I have met some great new people and that is always a plus in my book! Enjoy!!

Love Me Some Baby Blues!!

2012-05-12T19:17:00.000-07:00

These girls were so fun and the tiniest little bean has the MOST amazing blue eyes I have ever seen!! Their cute mom had better invest in a big stick to keep those boys away when they get older! The day was supposed to be warm but turned bitter cold right before the shoot but these girls were troopers!!

Shanelle and Brigham

2012-05-09T09:59:00.000-07:00

This couple was a blast!!! We met up at Louland Falls and the weather was perfect. I wish you two the best and an amazing life together!!!

Sweet Sweet Babies

2012-04-20T13:16:00.000-07:00

I have said it a million times but I just love these sweet sweet babies!! It is like Christmas for me when they arrive at my studio. I can't wait for mom to get them out of the carseat so that I can see how adorable they are. This little guy was oooozing with cuteness, I adore his lips. His parents and his Grandma were so nice. It was and always is a pleasure to meet new parents. I am getting so excited that the weather is getting nice! I crave that yummy summer light that happens at the end of the day! I can't wait to capture that on my summer shoots this year! Not to mention that means the pool will be open and my kiddos can swim while I am enjoying a great book in the sunshine awwww HEAVEN!!! On to the photos!!

So Neglectfull!!

2012-03-27T15:31:00.000-07:00

Ok so the good news is that I have neglected my blog because I have been super busy doing photography! The constant nice weather allowed me to shoot outdoors all the way through old man winter. Bad news is that well ..........I have neglected my blog. So today my post is just going to show random photos from random shoots in no certain order. I know,I wish I had time to oraganize them on my blog but right now I am just so out of time!So enjoy the randomness!!

Renner Wedding

2012-01-06T16:21:00.000-08:00

This couple was so fun and the venue was gorgeous! It was freezing cold outside but these guys were champs and let me shoot away! Thank you so much for letting me photograph your wedding!

Kyle

2011-11-14T18:36:00.000-08:00

Kyle was such a good sport! I know a senior boy does NOT love to get his photos taken but Kyle was a champ and he even got into the freezing cold waterfall pool because I told him I thought it would make a great picture!
Next up are the images from the Renner wedding and I cannot wait to post them! This couple was so fun and the groom was hiliarious and came up with some awesome candid ideas!Enjoy!

Finally Getting Caught Up!!

2011-11-04T18:20:00.000-07:00

It has been a busy fall and I think I am FINALLY getting caught up! If you are waiting for your images thank you for your patience! So I am going to post two sessions tonite. Both of these adorable families had small kiddos. I look back at my family photos from when my girls were tiny and I remember how stressed I felt as a parent trying to get them to smile,not cry and cooperate. As a photographer I understand these challenges and I am sympathetic to them. I am a very patient person when it comes to capturing just the right image and when I am doing a shoot it is more fun than work to me.I love kids and that is what keeps me happy in my career! I love the way these sessions turned out!

This cute family brought CAMO with them! How cute is that? Even the baby had an adorable camo dress! They are such an adorable little family! I loved doing their photos!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!

2011-10-30T08:36:00.000-07:00

So I have always wanted to find a very old graveyard and take photos of the old headstones. I pictured going somewhere in Europe to do this. I think old cemetaries are very beautiful in a haunting sort of way! I was driving along and just happen to notice this very old cemetary not too far from my home.I had to stop! Its Halloween right? This particular headstone caught my eye. So here a couple fun spooky images for Halloween.

The Boswells!!

2011-10-24T18:51:00.000-07:00

I loved the Boswells daughter, she was a complete poser and I LOVE that!! She would even make her own poses and move after each flash of my camera! This family was yet another great experience. I am lucky to meet so many nice people in my line of work! Enjoy!!!

The Carse Family

2011-10-21T15:36:00.000-07:00

This bunch was super fun to photograph! The kiddos were awesome and did all the goofy things I told them are required to get great family pictures.It is getting a bit chilly to shoot outside but still do able, I also have a small studio in my home to photograph kiddos and newborns!!Contact me if interested!

The Heftels

2011-10-16T19:25:00.000-07:00

So just a few images for tonite, my computer is being amazingly slow at uploading! I love this adorable couple and I hope they love the images I created for them! They are great friends and I am honored to have photographed their wedding!! I just finished up the last of the fall sessions, the leaves are pretty much gone now! It was gorgeous while it lasted!

Tiny ones!!

2011-10-07T15:44:00.000-07:00

I love all aspects of photography but photographing kids is my very favorite thing to do! I love interacting with them and just being silly! I run around with them, play, make weird noises and just generally act insane. I adore that part of my job because I am truly just a giant kid! These kiddos are gorgeous and I had so much fun playing with them!To think these images were done just last week and now it is cold and snowy! No Fair!

The Down Town Browns!!!

2011-10-03T14:51:00.000-07:00

My Mini-Fall sessions have been a hit! I filled all of my openings for Fall but I am thinking of offering winter ones and I will for sure be doing spring mini sessions so stay tuned for those!!
This adorable little family are our good friends and I was excited to do some Fall Images for them. The little guy smiles on demand and I love that! Love these guys!!!!!

Amazing Family!!

2011-09-26T19:31:00.000-07:00

I was so blessed to be able to take these family photos for our dear friends. Stacy is a fellow photographer and I am honored that she asked me to do these for her. They are so easy to photograph and how could they not be, they are a gorgeous family!!! Could these boys be any cuter, they are full of fun personality.

LOVE!!!!

2011-09-23T12:08:00.000-07:00

The Help!

2011-09-04T16:21:00.000-07:00

Ok so not photography related BUT I went and saw the movie " the Help" today and WOW what an inspiration! I cried three or four times and yes I am a crier but it was that amazing! If you have been thinking about seeing it YOU MUST!!!! It gave me alot to think about and I want to take my daughters to see it. There were alot of messages but one that I really loved was that people who treat others badly and are unkind only do so because they are unhappy in their own heart and mind. Be thankful for who you are even if it dosen't fit into to everyones ideal. Don't be afraid to stand up for what you know in your heart is right!
I am headed off to do a session in Park City! I am so blessed to live in a gorgeous place with an abundance of fabulous locations!I hope everyone has a great holiday!!!

BUGGY!!!!

2011-09-01T19:13:00.000-07:00

Ok first off how stinkin cute is this family?? Um Hello super adorable gorgeous mom!! Dad is super handsome as well.............. so really the kids had no chance but to be gorgeous!!! In a small lapse of judgement I took this family out in the warm summer,down by the lake with NO BUG SPRAY!!!!! We were eatin alive but luckily they were all troopers! This little guy was FAST! I think by the end of the session we were friends though so that is always a plus because at the begining he was thinkin I was a nut ( I am but that is beside the point) Next edit up is the Heftel's wedding and that is going to be a treat!!! Andrea is one of the most photogenic people I have ever done images of. No fair, gorgeous in pictures AND real life. I had to get myself together a couple of times cause I am a huge bawlbaby and these are our dear friends and I always cry at weddings!!! Ok chatty patty is going to show some images now! Have a great evening

2011-07-29T15:10:00.000-07:00

This cute boy makes me giggle with his adorable facial expressions!! He did NOT love me too much on this day. He was fine until I got out my camera and then he was like "Really lady?? What are you thinking? " His mom is such a sweetie and his dad was a champ! I also did some family pictures,I will post a sneak peek of those later. So here is the super too cute for words mister A!!!!

Crazy Busy Fabulous Summer!!

2011-07-08T15:30:00.000-07:00

Where did June go??? It seems that summer is flying by so quick! I did 7 families on the 4th of July!! They hadn't had a big family picture taken in alot of years so that was fun for their sweet mom to get them all together for a big photo and then individual family photos as well. I am booked up for July but still have a couple openings left for August. Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!!

Mr B.

2011-06-22T18:09:00.000-07:00

This baby was a DREAM!!! He was so sweet and as long as he had milk in his tummy he was asleep!! I loved doing his photos and his mom is super sweet and now very busy I am sure as this cutie is her third son!! I adore his lips!! I am a bit behind on my editing and hope to catch up soon!! Summer is always so busy but I am glad that it is finally here. If only I could take my laptop to the pool and edit from there??? Maybe I will.................. OK on to the extreme cuteness....
