I absolutely love this family. I love how beautiful the Mom and Dad are and how great they are with their kids. Doing these photo sessions were not only fun, but adventurous. The cute toddler C was everywhere, climbing on everything, laughing, and just such a sweet girl. The baby B was absolutely perfect in every way posing for her pictures.

Thank you so much for letting me take these pictures for you guys!!!

I had such a good time with this family. I really did. We did their pictures last month and I just got a Christmas card in the mail with the first picture below on it and it looks so great! We laughed the whole time and they were pretty much up for whatever I asked them to do! :)

I also had the pleasure to take missionary pictures for their son... they are the last three. So awesome. The whole family.

Hope you enjoy!

So here is my first Flash Back photo shoot. One I did, but never put on my blog! Enjoy!

There are those photo shoots that you just walk away from smiling. This was one of them. I did this couple last year in September. She is my walking billboard and I just love it! We had so much fun with these guys as you can see in the pictures!!!

Hope you enjoy them through the photos as much as I did during the photo session. I only chose four... but there were SO MANY MORE!

There is nothing better to light a fire under your bum when you have people telling other people to look at your blog because they are telling them you are worth looking into as a photographer and the person comes back to them saying, "but she hasn't even updated her blog in over a year!"

So I'm back. I'm going to be showing new photo sessions as well as old ones that I have done in the last year.

I've actually been really busy and it has been really exciting!

But for my first post back into the swing of things, I thought I'd show you some pictures I took of my brand new nephew, who I have a crush on, and am deeply in love with.

There are more... so many more. My SIL was the creative genius behind the added props and backgrounds... I just took the pictures and added soft touches to them.

I'm in wuv! :)

Fairies, witches, bugs... OH MY!

My SIL is amazing at creating.

She made these incredible Halloween costumes from tutu's and knitted leg warmers... she needed pics taken for her boutique. So I jumped at the chance to take them.

WE kept them bright and colorful.

I had to show you each one so sorry... I had to show them all.

The best thing about this photo shoot was the girls. They were so much fun. They loved playing dress up and just laughed and smiled and played in front of the camera. I was in love with each one of them!

Here ya go:

B the Teen.

WOW so my life got kinda crazy. But I really want to share my experiences with these photo shoots because I feel that is half the reason why I love to do this. I love people. And I enjoy the different personalities that make the photo shoot what it is.

So I am going to start blogging from back in the summer... one by one, my photo shoots and tell a little about them.

This girl is just beginning as a teenager. Her mother is all sorts of business savvy. So she is starting up a website where her girl test teenage products and reviews them. She needed some shots down for her website.

These were just a few of my favorites. To be honest. It was hard not to pick each and every one of the 300 I shot.

She just glows and each picture led me to better and cuter ideas. She laughed and played around and was just a natural in front of the camera.

So here you go. And sorry it has taken me so long to get back into the blog. But I promise or vow to try harder and do better :)

I loved this family!

Here are the rest of the pictures of the B Family! :)

Their kids were adorable... the parents were so charismatic--It makes my job a lot easier when the family looks like it could walk right off the page of a magazine!

Thanks guys... I enjoyed our photo session so much!

TRA Plug in Giveaway! Go enter!

2009-08-21T07:49:00.000-07:00

Totally Rad Actions has a new Texture Plug-in that is well... TOTALLY RAD. They are having a contest that goes until Sunday the 23rd... and someone can win the plug in for free!

You should go watch what it can do HERE and enter the contest yourself...

I use TRA all.the.time. with my editing. They have found a way to combine actions that I was trying and doing by myself, but now in just one quick click I can get the look I need without all the time spent to do it!

I LOVE their actions. I have bought others and I still use TRA as my main set of actions... they just have everything you need and they are affordable which is KEY for a struggling photographer!

One of my favorites is Pross Crossed #1 from TRA set 1.

Here is an example of what it can do.

Here is a similar shot just SOOC:

Here is the action Pross Crossed #1 when added:

I just love the dramatic effect... and what is cool about their actions is that you can tweak them however you need, they are completely flexible and are there only to enhance your photos!

So go check out Totally Rad Actions and buy both sets of actions yourself! You won't regret it! :)

This is one of my very best friends. I love her like a sister. It was an absolute JOY to take their pictures. Their little guy was one big smiler the WHOLE time... the session was laid back and we had a lot of FUN with them!

Thanks you guys... hope you enjoy!

Kaylee and Chris

2009-08-09T22:10:00.000-07:00

It is always fun to see what shots come out of each photo session. We had a GREAT location... and both couples were SO willing to do whatever we threw at them!

Kaylee and Chris had a hard time NOT smiling... it was so funny, I would say, "Okay now don't smile..." And of course they would both bust out in a grin!

So enjoy both smiling, laughing, and even some Serious pictures!!!

Chantel and Eric

2009-08-07T23:10:00.000-07:00

This couple I felt a connection with instantly! They were funny and easy going and we just had so much fun! It was so hard to choose even these photos to show you guys, because all of them turned out so great!!!

Enjoy!

Favorite Photo Blurb Contest

2009-05-18T10:56:00.000-07:00

This week you get a repeat photo. It's one of the only times they have allowed this so I'm taking advantage! If they pick my photo they are going to put it in their BLURB book for promotional stuff... so they asked for us to choose one of our favorite FACE shots.

Sorry, but this one is MINE.

I not only love the color and clarity... but I love his honest look of disgust! :)

It's one of my first kid shoots I ever did... so it holds a special place in my heart! :)

I am submitting this photo into the www.iheartfaces.com Blurb Book photo contest. I am granting I ♥ Faces permission to use my photo in a printed version of a book for commercial use and possibly advertising of a photo book on both the Blurb and I ♥ Faces web sites.

Coops

2009-03-12T01:57:00.000-07:00

The little guy here wasn't in a very good mood when we tried to do his photo shoot after the Sealing in January...so I told his Mom that I would do it another time for her so she wouldn't stress...

Boy I'm glad I did...what a GEM to photograph! :)

PeePs and Photoshop

2009-03-06T16:14:00.000-08:00

Sometimes, between shoots, I need to practice with light and colors...so I use my children for what they were made for...to make my life easier! lol!

PeePs was wearing one of her many get ups that she likes to put together. She loves skirts and she LOVES tights...the brighter and wackier, the better!

So I took her outside and shot some pics of her, then messed around in Photoshop!

Sometimes...I have a hard time trying to decide if I like COLOR in a picture:

Or not...

Either way...it's always a good time with my daughter...you never know what face she'll pull or what she'll do...she just smiles and moves...

She MIGHT get that from me...but I'll never tell! :)

Love,

Shelle
