Amillya

2011-03-21T15:03:00.000-07:00

Cute little Amillya came back in for some 3 month pictures... I can't believe how fast they grow when you don't see them every day. I know it has only been 3 months but she is getting so big!

This cute little thing came in a few weeks ago...Big brother Gage wasn't too fond of me, thank goodness aunt Miranda was there to rescue me.

Brigg

I am super behind on blogging but I will try to catch up! I can't get over how sweet this little guy is, isn't he adorable?

Avery

How cute is she? I just love her chubby cheeks!

Benji and Wilson

2011-02-07T18:04:00.000-08:00

I can't believe these two are already one! You can see their newborn pictures here.
They were so much fun! They always had big smiles on their faces and you could tell that they really are best friends...so cute!

I won't lie, I haven't had very good luck with newborns lately...We have still been able to get good shots but it has taken a LOT longer than they usually do. I especially feel bad for the parents when this happens because it is so stressful for them. I am hoping that my bad streak is over and wishing for sleepy babies. This sweet little thing wasn't too thrilled about being there but we were still able to get some good ones of her.

Skyleigh

2010-12-07T11:25:00.001-08:00

This sweet little thing was just a little over 4 pounds and a month old when we took her pictures. So sweet and tiny!

Amillya

2010-12-06T21:04:00.000-08:00

Wow! I think whatever could have gone wrong with this shoot...DID! This family was so nice and so patient. It started with Amillya really not wanting anything to do with pictures...Then about two hours into it, my remote trigger stopped working. Tried changing batteries and nothing. At this point we hadn't gotten hardly anything. Amillya still wasn't thrilled to be there so we took a break(this was mainly just so that I could run and get another trigger) Thank heavens there is a camera store just 10 minutes away. When I came back Amillya was out cold in the bean bag. She did so good after that! Then after about another hour maybe. My light stopped working...AHHH! I was dying! I had never met this family and they drove a long way to come have me take their pictures. At this point, I am so embarrassed and frustrated. To make things worse, she is sitting exactly where we wanted her...And...her mom is a medic in the Air Force and they REALLY wanted a picture of her in her medicine bag. And that is what we were working on at that moment. For the last 30 minutes I shot with no flash and just the lights in my studio. Definitely not ideal but I wasn't sure what else to do. We finally got out of there I think around 9pm. They still had a long drive and daddy had to wake up super early(like 4am or something) Thank goodness we got some good pictures out of it...Thanks again Jen and Mitch for being so awesome! Now to the pictures.

Jones

2010-11-30T10:38:00.000-08:00

This family is always so much fun! I have known them for a long time and love being able to see them when we do their pictures. Poor kids...it was freezing. Little breaker was trooper he didn't fuss at all and it really was so cold.

American Fork Cheer

2010-11-24T20:13:00.000-08:00

I finally got these ones all finished. Almost 700 images to edit(I took over 1000), 34 cds to lightscribe and burn...I am breathing a sigh of relief now. This team was a lot of fun to shoot, plus they are all gorgeous and wore cute clothes so the pics turned out great. Sorry, such a long post. I couldn't leave anyone out.

Taylor and Sydnee

2010-11-11T14:43:00.000-08:00

I have always loved doing seniors. They are so fun and you can do so many fun things with them. I have known both of these girls for a while...They grew up in the same neighborhood as I did but they were much younger than me. It is so crazy that they are old enough to graduate but fun to see them grow up.

This family was so fun. Greg was my husbands wrestling coach through high school and college so it was fun to catch up with them. How gorgeous are these girls? They are growing up so fast! I first met them 4 years ago, the oldest was only 11 and now she is in high school!

Korban

2010-11-07T20:39:00.000-08:00

This sweet little guy is my new nephew. He was only 5 days old and just perfect for us. We had so much fun playing around with him, I wish all babies came in at 5 days old.

Amy

2010-10-12T10:37:00.000-07:00

Amy is an amazing pianist and is getting an album out soon for the holidays. She needed a few shots for her cover.

Hot Shots

2010-10-12T10:31:00.000-07:00

This shoot was so much fun! Dancers are always so easy to position and it is so natural for them. I danced at this studio for 15 years growing up so I was excited when Natalie called me. It was a little weird though because I saw familiar faces that were tiny when I danced there. I even remember when one of the girls was born...it made me feel a little old! I couldn't just choose a few of the headshots so I put one of each of them up.

A few weeks later I was able to do their Prep team as well

Brice

2010-10-10T21:39:00.000-07:00

We did a mini shoot with this little guy and he did so good. Once we got him to sleep he was out cold!

Harms

2010-10-10T21:28:00.000-07:00

This little family was so fun. These little ones were so alert for being only about a week and a half and being so tiny.

Plus, their sisters were adorable

This one is my favorite, I went to move them and I looked down and he was totally sucking on her nose and they were just totally content

Damon

2010-09-20T21:39:00.000-07:00

The mom of this cute little guy is a good friend of mine from college. It is so fun to see her little family grow. This little guy looks just like his big brother except he is 3 pounds lighter than him at birth. So cute...I am loving all of these newborns lately.

Jessica's Bridals

2010-07-15T15:34:00.000-07:00

So a little background on Jessica...she is so sweet, shy, quiet and hates having all of the attention. She is also in the military so we thought it would be fun to bring her boots and some other things for a few pictures. It was so much fun, the second she put those boots and that hat on it was like she was a different person. We were having so much fun and I love the way they turned out, it helps that she is gorgeous too!

Ryan and Jessica

2010-07-15T15:30:00.000-07:00

These two actually just got married last night, it was beautiful(pics to come later. We just took Jessica's bridals on Sunday so I was going to put them up and realized I never put their engagements up.

Charley

2010-06-24T13:32:00.000-07:00

This darling little girl belong to a girl that I have worked with at the salon since the beginning. She did so good! Especially since halfway through she took a tumble and got a fat lip. We took a little break and she was totally fine.

This is about 2 seconds before the tumbleHer lip swelled up a little, now she just looks like she had a little bit of baby botox

Spencer and Jan

2010-06-21T19:08:00.000-07:00
