This is my cousin down the line somehow. I love his mom and dad they are truly an inspiration to my life. This is their 6th baby, they have 3 girls and now three boys, such and awesome family. Anyway, this little guy was tiny, he was around 5 1/2 pounds. He did pretty good for the shoot, he was a little squirmy but he finally gave in and fell asleep and I love the shots we got.
This is the last of my marathon of posting. I think I am finally all caught up with all of the shots I did in December that I put on the back burner through the holidays. Hopefully I can stay on top of things for a while here. I am trying to cut back on shoots this year to make my life a little easier.
I did Amy's bridals a while back and to think of it I shot this wedding a while back too, I just never got around to posting it on here. I don't know why it took me so long because it was a lot of fun and we got some great shots. (Oh ya it was in the middle of all the Christmas card chaos and shopping)
Mikey is one of my best friends little brothers that is still a little kid to me. Amy is absolutely gorgeous and both of them were willing to let me keep taking more and more pictures even though it was pretty cold out. I love this first shot!
Here's a new nephew of mine. He is the first boy in this family with 3 older sisters. He was only a week old here and he is so BIG. My sister in law is only 5' 2" and is tiny. This little guy was 8 lbs. 10 oz. and 21 inches long. Don't ask me how she did it but she did! He is the best baby ever and sleeps so good at night. It's fair but it's not at the same time. (fair for her but not for the rest of us) I just wish all babies we're great sleepers right from the start.
Anyway, I think he is the cutest thing and I'm lucky that he lives right next door because I can go hold him whenever I want to help me hold off for a little longer. I need Beau to get a little bit older before we add to our family again since him and Bailey are so close.
This is my cute niece that lives in Florida and whenever they come in town I usually take family pictures of all of them. Since they do live in Florida and when they got here there was at least 2 feet of snow on the ground and it didn't stop for like 5 days straight, they decided to skip the family pictures and wait until summer.
So instead we decided to get some of this little cutie for her 3rd birthday. She usually isn't a big fan of the camera. (Last year all we got was pouts) But, finally I broke through to her and we had fun in the studio. It was just her and me, I told my sister in law to go out and let me work my magic. Well we got some, she wouldn't let me try too many things but we did great for the short time that Jyllian allowed me. This is one of the six babies that was born within 6 months of each other along with my Bailey. It's complete chaos (but also fun) when we have all of them together.
This is my cousin that I can't believe just got married. (I'll be posting some of her wedding pics in the next week sometime) Believe it or not, I used to babysit her when we were both younger. It really makes me feel old to think about it, even though I'm still really young. She looked so pretty and we had a blast during her bridal shoot. I love making brides come out of their shell a little. They get to bring out every personality they have!!!
This family convinced me to go out in the snow with them on Christmas Eve to get a picture of them since it's been quite a few years since they've all been together to get an updated picture. It was a really pretty day and a bit chilly. (I swear I don't remember it being this cold the past few years, I think I say that every year) The babies did better than I expected but we were pretty quick!
Susan (the main mama here) owns the Primrose Retreat down in Spanish Fork. It is a gorgeous day spa, tea room, and boutique! They also do the best little girl birthday parties in a section that they call SPOILED ROTTEN!!! I did Bailey's 3rd Birthday Party there a few weeks ago and it was a blast. They got to dress up, get their hair done,walk down the runway, and have a tea party with hot cocoa and cupcakes. Lots of fun!
Bella was so adorable and her older brother and sister were so cute with her. I took these... it feels like forever ago but had to put some on here to share. Here's her birth announcement too. I just love her little face.
This one was way too funny! They thought it was hilarious how she was laying with no clothes on. How dare we take pictures of her in her birthday suit! They really were laughing really hard and forever!
