Say What?! Utah County Children's Photographer

Freckles Photography is building a studio!!!! 

    

Spanish Fork Children's Photographer- Photo Contest!

      Let The Contest Begin!

To Enter:

Send 1 digital, NON-professional photo by e-mail to: kidsfreckles@yahoo.com by Aug 31st. Please include the following information: Your name, phone number, child's name, age, birthday, and their favorite thing to do. If you have twins they will be put together as one entry. Note: You can only enter 1 child (unless they are twins, then you can enter them together). If your child wins a prize I will do photos of all your children if you wish. I am trying to be fair so that one family doesn't end up winning all the prizes! Thanks for your cooperation! : )

Entries will be accepted until 5pm Aug 31st. Pictures will then be posted by Sept 5th and voting will take place until Sept. 12th.  There will be a poll on the sidebar with the children's names. So tell all your friends and family to come visit the blog and to vote for your child! Good luck!

Play Group

We had such a good turn out for play group this week we decided to get a group shot of all the kids! It was a little tricky, but I was so glad everyone was up for it. I had meant to bring my camera that day, and totally forgot, so these were taken with my cell phone (hence the average quality). : )

Photo Contest!

UPDATE: I have some YUMMY prizes for you all! Entry details coming very soon!

Anyone interested in a photo contest with some super cool prizes for the winner(s)?!!

Sneak Peek For Baby "T"- Spanish Fork Photographer

This little girl was too cute! And mom did such a good job dressing her and bringing fun things for her to play with. I planned on a tutu and balloons, but I think she had more fun with her own special toys!

I absolutely love it when parents bring things that mean something to their kids, it usually looks better than anything I could bring! Hint hint! haha

 

Lest you Think All My Pictures Are Perfect!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...taking pictures of my own children is harder than anything! These two goofballs have such a close relationship and play so well that they get lost in their own little games and tangents while I'm trying to talk to them. : )

And so, a cute picture like this (awww), 

and this, turns into...
This. In 2 seconds! That is what I usually get from Kai! Wonderful! haha

And putting them like this, so cute....

Turns to this!
And then they just play and ignore me!

They were pretending to be backpacks on each other.

Then Natalie nailed him with a rock and there were tears. The end! All in about 5 minutes! Photo shoot over. I still like all the silly ones, because that's who they are and they crack me up! 

Mini Pilots

My dad is a helicopter pilot, military, then fire fighting and now life flight, too. I remember getting in one of his helicopters when I was a kid. I think my mom has some pictures almost identical to these of my brothers and I! So I decided to make these look faded and worn like the pictures we have. If I can find one I'll scan it and post it with these! But here are my little pilots!

Grandpa with his helicopter and the kids!

Our Cutie's Growin'

I know I've been promising more pictures of this little one for a while now, And I promise I'll do more when I can. I only had time for a mini, mini shoot! Enjoy!

Baby M

Parents always worry when their baby seems to be screaming through most of the session, but I always tell them we will get fabulous pictures anyway. It just takes a little more time and patience!

This is why it's best to do newborns before they are 2 weeks old like this little cutie, it's easier to get them to calm down. : )

Shannon thank you for all your help I will miss you when you leave! Now I'm going to need a new assistant.....if anyone wants to work for free, carry equipment and hold reflectors in exchange for learning photography, let me know!!!

We had an awesome photo shoot for the photography workshop! Don't worry, if you missed this round, you have another chance in July (dates and times announcement coming soon)!!

Thanks to our amazing model, she's a great babysitter too! : )
