I want you to notice two things about this picture... the first is that this family knows how to have FUN and they also know how to laugh together... a lot! Secondly, I want to direct your attention over to the tall guy on the left, Sam. DO YOU SEE HIS BREATH? Yes, it was that cold! We did a morning shoot the day after Christmas. Let me tell you, I was bundled up with my oversized jacket, scarf, and gloves! They were such good sports to drag the babies out in the cold. We did make it a pretty quick shoot though, and I don't blame them one bit!

You will be seeing more from these two models below. I've already put in a request with Amber to let me do an engagement style shoot with them for my portfolio. Amber and Sam know how to work it for the camera. I just can't pass up that opportunity!

I love Camille (below). Her and I took an English class together our freshman year in college. Oh goodness. We have some pretty funny secrets about that semester! Haha. She is now married to Jace's first cousin, Ryan. Aren't their babies cute? All of the Daley babies are adorable!

Little Annie has the prettiest eyes!!

Ruth Ann said when she asked me if I could do pictures for them that she wanted candids that showed that they were having fun. Doesn't this next picture accomplish that?

Thanks Daley's! It was a pleasure.

::{read the second to last paragraph please!}::

Doing this shoot made me crave a little sister for Ellie... even if the thought only lasted .2 seconds :)

These cute little sisters were BFFs and loving all over each other the entire time. Never before have I photographed such hams!! It was awesome. I didn't even have to ask them to smile. Just stick them in front of the camera and vwa-la! Perfect smiles.

There are many changes going on around here... the biggest being that I'm taking a good long break. I blogged a while back that I would be taking December off, but it may be longer than I had originally thought (maybe another month or two). Nothing major going on... I just want to be a wife and mom for a little while. If you are interested in booking a session, please email me and I will let you know if and when I can accomodate you. If I am not available at the time that you are needing pictures, I know a couple of great photographers that are. Thank you for being understanding, and please continue to check the blog as I will continue posting!

P.S. I will pay someone 5 million dollars if you can tell me WHY IN THE WORLD I can't center my pictures! I upload to flickr or photobucket and then copy and paste the html into blogger. Then I click on the picture and click on the center button. It always shows up centered in my post while I'm writing, but then it does a left alignment in the post. HELP!

::{Cambree . Ridge . Brecklynn}::

You may recognize these kids, seeing as this was my third session with them! Yes, Chantel is single handedly keeping me in business. This was supposed to be their family session, which didn't end up working out, so we did a mini session with just the kids. Ellie even got to tag along. I have to say, I won't be making that mistake again! Love the girl, but she was a little distracting.

Don't you just love the fall colors? Chantel did a great job picking out outfits. Very fall looking, isn't it? I'm so jealous of those of you that have REAL Fall! Ours is very blah.

A new edit is in the works! It has an antique feel with blue tint. So I'll be real original and call it my Blue Antique edit...

::{Giddy Up}::

You might be able to tell by looking at these just who stole the entire show. No, it wasn't the horses. It was Jackson! This little man is absolutely the cutest little cowboy. A new location with some very large props was a little nerve racking at first, but SO much fun!

::{Jackson}:: sneak peek!

Sorry, you can't take him home with you. I'm pretty sure his parents wouldn't be ok with that. But don't you just want to? I can't wait to show you more. This was by far the most unique shoot I've ever done. I'll give you a hint: A couple of very large animals were involved!

::{Coop}::

Oh Cooper, you crazy little ball of energy! Ashley, I think this may be the best shot I got of him. I tried. I really did. But the boy is a free spirit who didn't fall for any of my "look into my lens and you might see lightning mcqueen" tricks. Ok, you caught me - that's not even my trick. Haha. It's Mary Anne's. P.S. Thanks for letting me borrow that one Mary Anne. Apparently I'm horrible at it!

Before I give you the wrong impression, Cooper is just a typical 3 year old boy. Actually, I think he's pretty mellow for a 3 year old. I just need to pick up the pace! Oh, and learn some new tricks. Isn't this little face so cute?

Randy and Jace were high school (and post high school) buddies. Randy and Ashley have two cute boys that I was able to photograph tonight. Watch out for their full post in the next day or two.

Cutest ::{little man}:: & his mom

Tonight was fun. I felt very comfortable tonight, which isn't always the case when I'm at a shoot. I had a great family, with a great wardrobe, and a great assistant. And to go along with this cheesy "great" theme... I got some great shots!

One of my favorites... so far. The looks on both of their faces are perfection.

::{Robbins}::

I had a great time hangin out with this family! These kids are some of the cutest that I've worked with, and SO well behaved! I couldn't believe how good they were. I said do this, they did it. Seriously, what 1 and 3 year old does that?!

I couldn't go without giving a shout out to Lindsey, the mom. She makes the cutest accessories for your little man or girly girl! Everything from hats (she made both hats that her kids are wearing below), cutest onsies ever, baby booties, and more! I had to put in my order after I saw the cute things she makes. Click HERE to check out her Etsy shop. Need a massage? She's also a message therapist!

This is one of my favorites of all time! You might not think it's anything special, but I've found myself staring at it thinking, "I can't believe I took that picture!". Haha. I know. I'm a dork.





Isn't this such a fun sibling shot? We didn't even tell them to do this! They just love eachother.

Thanks Lindsey! It was a lot of fun. I'm excited to do trades with you in the future!

My favorite shot from last night...

This is Abigail. She gave me knuckles at the end of our shoot. I got a kick out of her. Hope you like this one... it was one of my favorites!

No comment. Just loved this picture from a recent session and wanted to share.

My sister's kids. Love them!

This is definitely what I would call a picture overload! I can't help it though because these little cuties belong to ME! Well, they actually belong to my sister... but I'd claim them any day. We took these outside of the Snowflake LDS temple when my sister got married two weekends ago. We didn't have a ton of time to do them, but I love the way they turned out.

The boys.

Zach





Nate the Great!



For this picture of Nate, I couldn't decide between the b&w or the vintage edit. I love them both! Isn't he such a handsome boy?






Jen & Megan





I LOVE this picture! My sister is so beautiful. She just makes me smile. And don't you love little Megan missing her two front teeth?



Love you guys!
