Nicole's New Do

Nicole had her hair corn rowed on saturday and it is too cute! So cute that she got more pictures of her that day than Natalie did, even though it was her birthday party.  For all you adoptive moms out there, her name is Melissa and she works at Divas Salon in Payson, and she is awesome! She is my husband's cousin, so tell her hi for me if you go.

Nicole is growing up so much lately, she is always on the go and has a huge personality to match her energy and excitement. She will be the life of the party someday. 

She has a t shirt that says, "everyone loves a brown- eyed girl." It's true, look at those eyes!

Peek a boo!

Kid Cam

I needed to clear the kid's camera since they are sitting in on one of my classes and want to take pictures too. We bought it for Kai, but Natalie is the one carrying it around all the time snapping some serious close ups! It is a whopping 1 MP camera which leads to some stellar results.

If you're thinking, hey, that just looks like a jumbled mix of body parts... well then, you are absolutely right! I think they are very creative.

Natalie will make a good portrait photographer, she lined up all her stuffed animals, then lined up her games and her dolls, and......

There were many variations on this one! 

Jensen Sneak Peek

I had the pleasure of photographing this family today, aren't they cutest family?  I'm sorry we were low on time today, but don't worry at all, we got some great images!

This little baby has the most beautiful eyes ever and the sweetest grin to top it off.

This guy was fun, he cracked me up. I got other good shots of him, but this one made me laugh so I had to show it.  I think he was getting tired of pictures.

Ok, let's hear it, awwwwwe! I Love this one.

Rain Rain Go Away....

I think I've had enough of this:

I'm ready for more of this!

Some Fun Editing. : )

Ally

I just don't even have words for these, they move me. Thank you Ally, you are beautiful inside and out.

Ally's Sneak Peek

There will be a lot more of this beautiful girl. There are so many I want to show I don't even know where to begin! So here's a sneaky sneak peek. Just wait until you see her gorgeous eyes. ; )

Summer Sale! - Utah Photography Picture Sale, Special

I know my pricing was changed not too long ago. I thought by making a session all - inclusive it would be the best fit for my clients,  making pictures as affordable as possible in this economy.  But judging from the response I got from my rate change, I can see that wasn't the direction you wanted me to go. I am listening.

So.... I'm going back to basics. This summer (June -Aug) all sessions are $85! That is for my time and talent only; prints, and digital files can be purchased separately at the current print rates listed on the website. 

Please leave some feedback in a comment to let me know if you like this method, or if you were one of the few who preferred the all - inclusive session. 

My Silly Girl

I was working inside the other day and Natalie asked to go play outside in this! I had to grab the camera and snap a few shots, she is such a goof ball.

Bahama Cruise Part 2

I am still wishing for some bright, hot sunshine here like we had on our cruise.  We tried to get a lot of pictures of us on the cruise, but I didn't get very many other than that. It's hard to get authentic landscape or genuine people shots near the ship/ tourist ports and we didn't venture too far away from the boat. We came with a purpose, lay out and soak up as much sun as possible to make it through the rest of the long winter!

We tried shuffleboard, but had no idea what we were doing.

Our date night on the ship, doesn't Jeremy look debonair?!

Our towel friends were pretty cute, too.

Captain Underpants - The Revenge -Utah Children's Photographer

I can never get a straight face out of this kid, so I thought I'd give him a great opportunity to be silly!

Yeah, that's snow on the mountains, I'm a terrible mother. I did give him hot chocolate afterwards! And yes, those are girl panties, too, turns out I didn't even have any tidy whities for him to wear. This was mostly a test shoot for a commercial concept I want to shoot. I'll do it again when it's warmer, and I'll find some real boy underwear.

Natalie wanted to come to watch, but then asked me to take her picture, too. She just wanted to show me her flowers and wanted to know if there were any prettier ones. haha

Captain Underpants

This is what Kai was coerced into today. ; ) I'll post more soon. This is a shoot I've been wanting to do for a while, it was way too cold, so I may have him do it again on a warmer day.
