Catch up!

I’ve been so busy shooting lately that I haven’t been very good at keeping up with this blog, so here’s a quick view of the past several months!

Amy, my wedding photography partner, had a baby in December and I was lucky enough to be able to shoot her delivery. What a special time this is to be able to capture! I’d love to do more labor and delivery photography!

Here’s some from a missionary session I did:

I had this fun family session in December with the Flake Family:

Loved this session with the Demke family and their cute dog:

I had several baby sessions, cute baby Hummel:

Summerhays baby:

And the Johnson baby:

Loved this spring session with this busy one year old:

And this one of the Hildebrandt family:

And most recently I got to do a couple engagement sessions, which I’m including here instead of my wedding photography blog because I did these ones by myself since my wedding partner hasn’t been shooting the last few months since the arrival of her baby.

And lastly, my little sister got engaged, so here’s some we did for her engagements:

Wow, almost up to date! Now just one more family session to edit before I’ll be on maternity leave for the next month or two! This baby should be coming in the next few weeks! Glad to be getting caught up!

This has to be my favorite session of the year, not just because I love this family, but check out the last picture. Definitely my favorite of the year. Dan, you’re too funny and Suz you crack me up! She wanted a kissing picture and he refused, isn’t that so like most husbands!? Hope Dan didn’t hate getting his pictures taken as much as my husband does. Haha!

These guys made this large group session way too easy! Quick, easy, cooperative and not picky, love it!

So if you haven’t already figured it out, this is the kind of photography that I love, ones that include lots of color! I love color and I tend to accentuate the color with my editing. I like my images to have bright skin tones, but not blown out, I like to see some of the shadows from your facial features, but the skin needs to look bright, not dingy and gray. This is part of my editing. I’ve seen some photographers work that turn out that way. I’m not a fan. I love using colorful backgrounds, which colorful in Southern Utah is mostly reds and greens. I can work with that though. Sometimes the red rocks can be a problem for skin if you aren’t careful, so you have to know how to use it. I love the fall colors because of the beautiful light you can get in the background (not any examples in this session), but I also like the clean greens of nature. Because St. George isn’t very urban there’s not a lot of the urban scenes I use, not because I wouldn’t love to shoot that stuff, but because there’s not much of it here (and I really hate shooting the 2-3 urban spots we have here over and over). I guess you use what you have and make it the best that you can. For me that’s using the light and the colors and backgrounds to add to the photo, but not to take away from the people. I hope that’s what my clients feel like I do for them.

I had a blast with this family. I was a little worried at first because Kelly had mentioned that they wanted to do hunting pictures with everyone in orange and have guns. No, it wasn’t the guns that made me nervous, it was the thought that maybe they were really serious about the hunting photo and that it wasn’t just for a funny Christmas card. I was worried that if that was the only thing they wore, was this going to be an “awkward family photo?” You’ve seen that site, right!? It turned out being for fun and she wanted a silly photo on the back of their card with them dressed in their hunting gear. I’m sure the people who get their card this year will get a smile out of it.

There was some sillier photos of them in orange, but I guess I didn’t choose any of those to blog, sorry.

Love the colors this family chose as a nice contrast to the red rocks that we shot against. It’s always a good idea to consider what you are wearing with what you will be using for your background. The majority of my family sessions happen in the fall, which is usually pretty fall colors, yellows and oranges, so it’s a good idea to have outfits that will show up against those colors. If your main color is yellow, you might want to make sure where you are going isn’t going to be mostly yellow. Or if you are shooting in the spring, I’d probably avoid greens if you are shooting an outdoor location. Just something to consider. I’ve had really nice colors in all the families I’d done this year, so good job to you all!

Camping

Just a few pictures from a family reunion this summer. Our family loves camping, especially the kids, so it was fun to get out with everyone.

This area is gorgeous and so was this family. That always makes for a good photo shoot!

You’ve seen these guys before, they have been our neighbors for the past 4 years and we’ve just loved it! Just a couple weeks ago they moved and I’ve been bummed. Not often do you get such awesome neighbors like these guys. I hope they are having a blast in their new place and I’m sure we’ll always keep in touch.

I’ve been a procrastinator in getting these images on my blog, but I did get several onto fb quickly, which by the way, if you don’t follow me on fb, then you should! And, I actually got these printed and hung in my house right away, so I guess if this blog has been missing out on things, at least I have done something with them! I think this is the best my kids have ever been for me for pictures! Yay for that! Maybe I’ll get some more good ones next year… haha.
