Happy Halloween!

Happy Haunting everyone!

Basketball Brothers - Utah Teen Photographer

This has been a crazy week, with Halloween activities and the weather, but this photo shoot was worth the cold. I had so much fun with these three siblings. You may recognize the girl from some of my other shoots; this time I got to do her brothers, too!

Man it was cold... and snowing! Can you see it here? This snow blew in out of nowhere, but they didn't seem to mind.

I finally finished my re-finishing project! See that cute blue chair? I did that! I am so proud of myself.

"A" has some protection! Watch out boys. haha I was the only girl in my family, too.

The eldest basketball player and a senior in high school.

The younger basketball player.

Playing in the Leaves - Children's Photographer, Utah

I got to go photograph some preschool activities at the library the other day; I love kids this age, they are all so cute! Natalie was extra cute to me that day so I took extra of her. ; )

Natalie was trying to hide behind the leaf. Doesn't Nicole look like she's having a blast?! haha She gets to tag a long every once in a while.

My goofy girl, she loves to pull faces that I can't resist capturing. She won the battle with the shoes that morning. After trying hard to get her in a cute outfit and doing her hair, I gave up at the shoes. She is just as stubborn as her mommy!

Some great leaf - throwing and kicking action.

Finding nuts that the squirrels dropped in the rose garden.

Natalie calls them coconuts!

This little girl is such a doll!

Thanks for letting me share your fun day and hogging all the pictures with my own children! haha

Family Picture

I am still, slowly, going through our family pictures from this summer. So here is another random picture. Enjoy. 

Painting - Fall Fashion Shoot

I am so excited to have my new software program! I am hoping to do more digital painting in the future as I conquer this new beast of a program. Here are my first humble attempts at painting... What do you think, do you like the look?

Fall Fashion Shoot Part 3: On Location - Utah Fashion Photographer

I posted a lot of these on Facebook already, but forgot to finish up the fall shoot here. Here are some more studio shots, fun makeup, fall colors, and beautiful girls. The location shots were so much fun and it is my new favorite location. I didn't have time to do it justice so I think I will need to re visit it again soon. : )

Fall Fashion Shoot Part 2 - Utah Fashion Photography

Sometimes this is how I feel about my hair when I wake up in the morning, so many tangles and wild strands. haha I love this series, probably my favorite of the bunch, who knew. It's funny how that happens with sessions, I go into it thinking a different set will be my favorite, and then I am surprised!

She has the most beautiful collar bones and neck, don't you think? I am slowly working through all these images, I'll try to post the rest of the girls by the weekend, I know you are all dying to see some. Also, for those under 18, I will be e-mailing another model release for you to sign and a parent to sign. ; )

Fall Fashion Shoot - Part 1 - Utah Fashion Photographer

Here are a few images from my Fall Fashion Shoot last night. I had 7 gorgeous girls come to be models, and we had a blast! I haven't seen that much girl stuff in one house since my cheerleading days. My husband took the kids out with him all night and delivered pizza to us in the middle of the madness. He is so sweet, he just laughed and said our house had thrown up girl! haha Later he told the stylist that he didn't mind; that's what he signed up for when he married a photographer! I love him!!

Thanks girls for coming, waiting, and being yourself in front of the camera. And a big thank you to my wonderful makeup artist who I worked to death. Brittany, please list your contact info in the comments. 

Also, I forgot to tell you all last night, but if you'd like to order any professional prints from me I will give you all 20% off as another thank you!

Well, this was all I had time to post today, but like I said there were 7 beautiful ladies, so there will be lots more in the next few days! ; )

Heart Gallery - Adoption Gallery Show

Meet Brian, we did a mini shoot last week to prepare for the 2010-2011 Heart Gallery Show. For those that don't know, every year they do a traveling gallery show with kids that need parents and families to call their own. I am so honored to be a part of this year's gallery events and hope it creates miracles for these kids and many others like them...

Brian is a very polite kid, a little quiet, but I only got to spend 30 minutes with him. He's got the most gorgeous brown eyes and cute dimples, and yes, along with many other kids, he's in need of a forever home. We're hoping these pictures will inspire someone out there!!

Brian, thanks for trusting me to take your pictures, I promised I'd let you pick which one to show! Let me know which one (one of you smiling) you'd like as the gallery 16x20, and which one you'd like for yourself as an 8x10. : )
