ham, anyone?

Let me tell you this photo shoot was just hilarious. I photographed a family with 4 boys and 1 princess. I was just quickly looking over the pictures tonight since I took them this morning and came upon this one. I think I've been laughing out loud for about 10 minutes now. I LOVE it! This little boy is such a ham. I told all the boys they had one picture to make the silliest, most goofiest pose and face they could. (That way,...

booties

I had forgotten about these adorable little booties. My great aunt made them for Kai when he was born and I just love them. She has diabetes and can barely see, but she still knit them because she wanted to give my baby a gift. They mean a lot to me. I've neglected her, so I'm on a mission to go see her and spend some time with her. So I put the shoesies on Diego today and had to snap some pictures....

in tribute

This session was honestly such a blast. I know I say that about most of my photo shoots, but these little girls were just sooo darn cute. I kept on wanting to hug & kiss them the whole time! (After all, I am a very touchy feely kind of girl!) But I just wanted to post these pictures as an excuse and tribute to the Colonel who is off to war in about a week. Thank you, sir, for your service to our nation. I salute you and all...

mother & daughter

When I have the opportunity to photograph family relationships, I just feel so lucky and blessed. I especially love capturing the emotion between a mother and a daughter. Taking these pictures reminded me of the bond between my mom and I and it also made me want to have a daughter of my own. (Let's not let Matt read this since he's already wanting to have another baby-yike...

beautiful fall colors

I just love the beautiful fall colors in Utah. The canyons just burn with amazing colors-yellow, red, orange and even fushia. Matt's side of the family had a picnic in Provo canyon and I thought it would be a great location for family pictures. We found several great locations, including a charming little river. It was so much fun seeing everyone again and seeing Kai play with his cousins (although it did take him a while before...

missing in action

I can't believe how fast time goes by. It's been almost three weeks since my last post. The kids and I went to Utah for a week a half while Matt was in Florida. It was a great trip. I meant for it to be relaxing, but didn't even come close. It was my own fault since I wanted to do some photo shoots to justify my trip to Matt. (I don't know why I felt like I needed an excuse since I'm sure he wouldn't have had a problem with our...
