Smith Family

This was one of my favorite sessions during all the Fall craziness. The light was GORGEOUS! The only negative thing was the fact that it was FREEZING!! These sweet, well-behaved boys never complained once. They were awesome. Here they were, in their nice sweaters... sometimes letting their hands disappear inside the sleeves... and here I was wearing a coat, scarf, ear-muffs (yes, seriously, ear-muffs) and gloves. I felt so bad for them. At least the snow waited until we were ALMOST done. The light that evening was worth every bit of brrrrr!

You can see a few flakes of snow falling in this one of mom and dad if you look closely!

And then, it REALLY started coming down. This was the last photo we shot. We decided we needed one to show the snow coming down. They were the best sports! Poor, freezing boys.

Pontious Family

This session took place on a day that looked pretty scary, weather-wise. It was heavily overcast, with a chance of a storm. It was DARK! We moved their session to an earlier time to try and make sure we had some light, and lucky for us, the clouds moved clear out by the time we started shooting. You would have never believed how gloomy it had been earlier! Even if it had stayed dim, this family would have created enough light just by their smiles. Such a fun family session!

Shepherd Family

Every time this family calls me to do a session, I know it's gonna be fun! I had the awesome opportunity to photograph them when little Audrey was only a couple of weeks old, and Dad was about to leave for Iraq. I've done Audrey's pictures a couple of times, and I got to be there when Dad returned from Iraq - such an honor for me. So when they called again for new family portraits, I was so excited. My favorite location from the shoot? This first shot. There's nothing like Mt. Timpanogos as a backdrop!

Jenson

What a sweet little angel boy! I went to do this session, and at first he didn't want to sleep. He wanted to be wide awake, experiencing all that was going on. But all it took was the sound and warm air from a small heater, and he was OUT! I just love his little round face, and his head full of hair. He has grown a ton since this session, so hopefully one of these days we can do an updated photoshoot with little Jenson!

There is so much to come. I'm way behind here on the blog. The holidays were busy, but so much fun. I just enjoyed spending every minute with my family. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season as well. I still can't believe it's over, and here we are a third of the way into January! I do want to share all the fun sessions I had over the fall and the few I had in December, so they are coming. I also have my first wedding of the year on Thursday, so be on the lookout for that, too. Lots and lots to come!

Bath Family

It's going to take me a while to really get caught up here on the blog, so bear with me! The crazy, busy fall portrait season, and then the wonderfully fun, yet still busy holiday season have caused some delays! But I'm determined to share at least a glimpse into each session that I was so blessed to have this year.

Here is another really awesome family! I was so excited that they called me to do this for them. This Mom and Dad really know how to raise 'em right! Both of their girls have grown up to be such wonderful young women, and both are married to really great guys. In fact, I shot the younger daughter's wedding just this past summer, and it was SO FUN. This was fun, too. Even with dogs. ;) Thanks Bath Family! You guys are great.

Edwards Family

I grew up right next door to the cute mom of this fun family. She was just a year ahead of me in school, and I remember being jealous of her beautiful blond hair and the fact that she wore glasses. I think I even chose to play the flute because she did! I'm also pretty sure she never knew any of those funny facts, but I definitely looked up to her. It was so fun to see her darling family, and to see how much her kids remind me of her in one way or another. What a great group!

 

Page Family!

I decided that I'm WAY too far behind with blogging, and I've got to get going and CATCH UP!! So here's the first of many, many Fall Family Portrait posts to come. And this one is from clear back in October! To be honest, it feels like it was just last week. Time is just FLYING by! Before we know it, we'll be halfway through 2012!

You would never know of the mischief from these boys by looking at the images of them, but trust me, there's always mischief. I love them!!
