2010-10-11T16:39:00.002-06:00

Thank You

my awesome neighbors are a military family and the man of the house is currently serving a tour in Iraq. BUT he's been home on R&R for the last two weeks and i was lucky enough to take some family pictures for them.

i feel so honored to be able to do something for them even though it doesn't even scratch the surface of the sacrifices they are making for the rest of us.

so from me personally, thank you.

thank you for the freedoms we all enjoy.

well, hello...

2010-04-28T08:50:00.003-06:00

mmm..... i {heart} babies. especially when they are so little. and all they do is eat, sleep, and poop..

sweetness

2010-04-19T10:23:00.003-06:00

i just couldn't resist!

the weather has been so nice, she had her dress on from church, her brother was asleep, and her hair was SO CUTE! the curls were perfect. so we stole outside for a few fun pictures.

it's not very often she gets to have time without her big brother and she likes being the center of attention..

she's such a goofball. i have about a million of these types of photos.

it's coming...

2010-03-17T23:01:00.003-06:00

note to mother nature: please stop teasing us.

one!

2010-03-05T15:45:00.009-07:00

this handsome little devil didnt want to have his picture taken, but was fascinated with the toy camera instead. he sure was a cutie.

squishy

2010-02-03T21:36:00.004-07:00

oh how i love baby legs. the fat rolls, the pinch-ability.. mmm.. they are just so yummy.

want one?

2010-01-15T20:16:00.003-07:00

if these dont make you want one, then you've got to have a heart of stone!
just kidding...

sort of.

i love the trapdoor. isnt it just so cute?

brrr....

2009-11-24T23:55:00.002-07:00

i loved this baby! he was absolutely amazing. he slept the ENTIRE time! and was like a little moldable puddle of love.. he was so good. and the rest of his family was a breeze too! loved the look of their backyard and since it was so cold we decided to stick close to home..

i really didnt mean for them all to be in black and white, it just happened that way!

jingle jingle

2009-11-10T23:30:00.002-07:00

2009-10-28T16:41:00.001-06:00

arent these girls gorgeous? sisters have such a great bond. i love it.

[D] family

2009-10-21T09:49:00.004-06:00

this is another family from my neighborhood. arent they beautiful? and so stylish..

not fair, especially since i'm totally running out of clothes that fit. only 3 more months, then back to regular, right?

anyways.. we had a lot of fun walking around and finding the light spots. AND we had great weather right after the cold spell. lucky!

[S] family

2009-10-16T21:23:00.002-06:00

this was such a great session! a fun family, who just happened to have a trailer to haul my new beauty! i [heart] this loveseat. im sure my hubby will not, because anything purchased at a thrift store is obviously garbage, but i see the potential. and aren't the boys so cute? they have the most amazing eyelashes.

they curl.

by THEMSELVES!

women would kill for these.

i digress. anyways, enjoy the sneak peek.

workshop images

2009-10-13T15:48:00.002-06:00

this last one is my favorite. isnt she gorgeous?

2009-10-07T12:19:00.002-06:00

i had such a great time at skye's workshop in Laguna Beach. learned a ton and enjoyed the warm weather. i miss the smell of the ocean and the sand in my toes. til i get my workshop photos done, here's one from the beach. arent you jealous!!

you've got me on my knees, baby.

2009-09-25T09:20:00.001-06:00

another babe from one of my friends. i cannot believe how chubby she is! seriously. i mean, wow. AND it's all natural. no formula feeding here.

miss {C}

2009-09-25T02:48:00.000-06:00

my darling newest neighbor. you'd never know that she was adamant about NOT having her picture taken! congrats!

i love that she looks like she's giggling! such a girly thing to do!

this super fun family lives in my neighborhood and we had a great time driving around the seedier areas of salt lake!

logan temple

2009-08-11T15:07:00.002-06:00

since i was in the neighborhood last week and we DID get married here, i thought i'd snap a few and see if i can get a good one to hang up in the house. not to mention, our 7TH anniversary is coming up..

you know what they say about that 7 year itch...

good thing i have a the right man to scratch it!

2009-08-11T14:24:00.001-06:00

porter's baby announcement. it turned out pretty darn cute, if i do say so myself!

{m}mmm...

2009-08-04T11:43:00.003-06:00

isn't this baby just yummy! he was so good and didnt even soil my blanket! (that's a first) i was impressed to say the least. and he was so happy and quiet the whole time. and what a cute family. the little miss sure is beautiful.

{D} family

2009-07-27T09:36:00.005-06:00

i met up with this super fun family and we had a great time. it was scorching outside but we braved it all and got some great pics!
thanks guys...

for the wall, sorta big maybe

2009-07-23T10:55:00.005-06:00

so i was downtown and had a few minutes to spare. i thought i'd run over to temple square and see if i could get a good picture of the temple. i think this one turned out pretty good.

(i just wish that the colors and contrast wouldnt get so washed out on blogger!)

good to my word

2009-07-17T09:30:00.003-06:00

so, as promised here are a few more of the bridals from Jessica. i love them, and isn't she just gorgeous? i'm glad we stuck around for the sunset.

how?

2009-07-15T09:28:00.001-06:00

What? how could i have missed this gem? i think this is my favorite one.. just enough of a whine, but loving up his mama!

all i can say is w.o.w.

2009-07-11T12:06:00.005-06:00

i just did these last night and i couldn't resist this one. i L.O.V.E. it. and the bride is gorgeous! more later. (ps.. blogger kills all the color and sharpness. it looks way better on my computer.)

AND it looks seriously awesome in black and white as well.

definitely sweet

2009-07-01T10:00:00.001-06:00

this handsome little fellow was so nice and easy. slept at first, then perked right up! we'll finish up with the family shots in a bit, but for now, a sneak peek.

{B} family

2009-06-30T19:59:00.004-06:00

so my amazing roomate from my college days (although i wasnt attending college at the time) - so perhaps my single days, and i met up for a family shoot. we have such a great friendship that definitely weathered a few storms (*wink wink*) and i'm so glad that we reconnected and stay in touch. now, if i can either talk her into moving back or the hubby into moving to Reno. hmmmm..

(speaking of Reno - what a trip. remember the speeding ticket? yikes.)

little miss {M}

2009-06-27T10:35:00.006-06:00

this sweet little thing was such a good girl and she only peed on the blanket once, sparing the fur entirley! i cant believe how adorable and squishy she is. congrats on the new babe!

loverly

2009-06-05T20:26:00.002-06:00

one of the few good ones amidst the crying, whining, and overall not wanting to have her picture taken.

some seriously hot stuff...

2009-06-01T15:07:00.004-06:00

i cant believe how beautiful Alli looks! the dress, her hair, everything! we had a great time and i'm sure the homeless guys at the park did too.. nothing like seeing a gorgeous girl in a wedding dress.

as promised

2009-05-16T11:35:00.008-06:00

well.. here's the second part of the {S} fam. they are just too cute. thanks so much guys.

first, the babe..

2009-05-08T16:01:00.003-06:00

i met up with this super cute couple for their engagements. ive just started on their pictures, but these were too good to not post. here's a sneak!

thanks guys, it was fun. and uh, sorry 'bout all the gnats! they were vicious...

oh.. to be 18

2009-05-07T12:14:00.006-06:00

what wouldn't i give to be 18 again! *sigh*. isnt my sis-in-law so beautiful! she looks so amazing and i cant believe she's only 18 (going on 27). ;) thanks for the great time, miss glam.

sweet cheeks

2009-05-03T13:23:00.010-06:00

meet the newest member of the {S} crew. she is so beautiful. and can you believe those chubby cheeks? it's ridiculous that babies have chubby cheeks when they are born! mine sure dont. she was such a good little girl and only peed on 3 blankets! thank heavens for the washing machine! check back for round 2!

beach baby

2009-04-08T10:23:00.011-06:00

seriously. are you allowed to look this good when you are pregnant? because i sure dont. doesnt she look lovely and sexy all at the same time! and the graffiti? i L.O.V.E. it. thanks for the fun day, i hope it wasnt too much stress!

ps.. Happy Freakin' Birthday!

spring time? maybe

2009-02-25T22:18:00.005-07:00

so myself and a couple of other photographers got together to hunt for great places and shoot our kids (that sounded weird) and for the most part the weather cooperated and it was a lot of fun.

this great little chair i found at the DI! what a steal.

downtown

2009-01-22T23:33:00.005-07:00

just a few little snaps from downtown.

bunch of hooligans

2008-12-09T16:50:00.003-07:00

and who doesnt love to dance in a parking lot where your age is broadcast to the world.
just be glad they didnt have a 27!

quite possibly my favorite EVER!

if these arent the cutest pictures ever, i'll poke myself in the eye.. okay. maybe i wont, but no one will know the difference. a terribly cute family and good friends to boot! i had a ton of fun and want to get together to knit or eat or something like that.

eskimo

2008-12-09T15:40:00.004-07:00

totally cute family with the most adorable little girl! i wish my daughter had that hair. well, i wish she had hair in general! sadly, her brother took it all. anyways.. these turned out so cute. i love the run down house we found. and isnt her jacket fabulous?

farm land

2008-11-28T23:49:00.003-07:00

i almost cried while doing these. yes, its a cute family, but more the fact that my card reader lost half of the pictures while i was loading them onto my computer. yikes! luckily i was able salvage them after about an hour of hunting and trying to find software. sadly, it dumped my large files, so my colors are off a bit. i'll have to work on that. anyways, they turned out so cute! i love their colors and the location. i have some more to add later. but here's a sneak.

don't you love how she is gazing up at her mama? i think this is one of my favorites.

um. do you love how it says steve right next to miss ava?

kids

2008-10-01T12:27:00.002-06:00

5 generations

2008-08-22T15:15:00.003-06:00

i did some pictures a few weeks ago of five generations. it was so fun and a cute bunch!

2008-07-10T23:26:00.003-06:00

i cant believe how great these photos turned out! great location, lighting, kids, everything! i dig them all the way around.

2008-06-05T23:39:00.004-06:00
