Amanda, Haley, & Sierra

I know, I've been slacking a little on my posts, but there are 4 new ones below. For now I'm cutting back on the bigger pictures. Just had to catch up a little.

I love these girls like my own. They are my nieces and live right next door. Beautiful, sweet, and a little sassy. We had tons of fun during their shoot. It was just them and me and we just got to play around. Sierra (the youngest) is 4 months older than Bailey and they are such good friends. She's the culprit that gave Bailey a little haircut a couple of weeks ago. Ya, that's right SHE gave Bailey a haircut, thank goodness my SIL does hair and was able to make it into a pretty cute and short A-line. Good thing her hair grows fast.

Cade

I seriously love this little guy! He is my nephew and I can't get enough of him. Whenever I see him I squeeze him and give him kisses. He is so happy all the time and super easy to photograph. It was a short and sweet mini session.




Of course once again, here's Bailey and her cute cousin Brielle (Cade's older sister). They had to get in a picture. Can you believe that white hair and dimples, so cute!

Elle

Here's little Elle from the family pictures right before this. She brought her in for a few studio shots to see if we could get a few more smiles. And we needed to match the rest of her other studio session up to this point for her 1 year collage. We got a few smiles but not many but it's ok because I love her little innocent face. And, I love her little face!

Peterson family

This is my BIL's family. They are faithful on their family and kids pictures every year. Tate is a busy body. He sure kept me running to catch up to him. Elle made me almost lose my voice trying to get her to crack a smile. But in the end, we got a few. They are all so sweet!




Here are the stairs that Tate went up and down, oh, I don't even know how many times. And here is his best buddy Baby Tad, that he takes everywhere with him.

Christmas Cards Part 1

Ok, so here's the deal. I have been so busy with life, photography, my kids, and everything else that we do everyday that I haven't been able to design any new Christmas cards for this year. I am going to try to get around to is this weekend, or I am going to buy some already made templates that I like. I just haven't decided which way I want to go with it yet.

I had big plans for doing some different cards this year, (bi-fold, tri-fold, front/back, etc.) but that hasn't and most likely isn't going to happen. So hopefully next year I'll get on top of things. For now here are a few of my last years designs and if any of you that I've done pictures for like any of these designs, let me know and we can change the wording, names, date, etc. To make it YOURS!

How it will work -
I'll put your pictures in that you choose from our photo session, you can have me put any text on it that you want, I make a copy for you and you go make copies to your hearts content.

These are all 5x7 sizes, which are .60 cents each at Kennys Photo (where I do pretty much all of my printing). They are just one sided and would be printed on regular photo paper. (envelopes are not included)

Contact me by phone or email if you are interested in any of these. Or wait until next week to see what else I've come up with or decided to do.

Thanks to all my clients for making me love what I do and for being patient with my crazy life!

News clip!

I've shared our story about our son with many of my clients. There were a few that wanted to see this but weren't able to. I put it on my family blog but also decided to share it on here. If you missed the first story here's the link to the first story that aired a couple of months ago.

Here is the link for the news story about Payton's heart donation for those of you who might've missed it last night. Touching, emotional, and full of two little miracles...

Here are the two Bailey's in my life! (one Bailey with an "i" and the other Baeley with an "e")

One my daughter and one with the heart of an angel! Love them both to pieces and I am so thankful for both of them and the roles they play in my life.

Amy

This entire shoot was so fun for me! It was a new location that I loved, a beautiful bride, and the perfect lighting. I really wish I could've put all of the pictures on here but it would take all day, we got so many good ones. I had the hardest time narrowing them down, and I still kept more than I normally do. Perfect, see for yourself!

Herbert family

This is Lt. Governor Gary Herbert and his gorgeous wife and their gorgeous family. Seriously I didn't think it was possible for so many good looking people to be in one family. They all (and I mean every single one of them) have flawless skin which makes my job a lot easier, beautiful smiles, great eyes, and good hair. (I'm not jealous just a little envious, if it's allowed)

Anyway, we got a lot of good shots of each family and the big group (minus one, I'm still working on that, and the family will know what I mean). I am so pleased with how all of these turned out!




Yep, for all of you American Idol fans that is Carmen Rasmussen, (now Herbert). She is just as beautiful in person, and just as sweet as she was on T.V. They are expecting they're first boy (I think) in a few weeks.

Dan, Casey, & Kale

Holy pictures!!! Casey is a good friend who has also been my lifesaver over the past few months while I have been so busy with photography. She takes my kids for me alot. They love her and Kale loves Bailey. (he says that she's his girlfriend)
Anyway, we got so many GREAT pictures, that's the reason for the long post. (and I know they have family far away, who are anxious to see these as well)

So here you are Casey, your cute family and many decisions to soon be made for your wall. Good luck!!
