Lovin' It!

I've been having so much fun the last few weeks doing these couples in love. Special shout out to my hubby for making it possible and taking care of the kids! This couple was fun to work with and so easy even though it was SO freezing! We got some really great shots and I can't wait for the wedding day. I know their pictures are going to be stunning!

Some more

Okay sisters.... I thought I better do some explaining here. I did not even realize I hadn't put up any smiling pictures, well, aside from the first one. I was trying to hurry through and pick a few because she told me you'd want to see them ASAP. Anyway,  I 'm an eye girl. I look for the eyes and I guess I just picked a few where her eyes stood out to me. They are so BEAUTIFUL! But you know that already! However... she also has a beautiful smile, so I hope I didn't send out a wrong message. You'll see what I mean about the beautiful smile.... scroll down! Anyway, I went through all of them this time and grabbed out a few. There are so many to choose from, but here are a few more to hold you over. Hope you like these a little better. :)
I think this one is so great of both of them. They look so happy together!

Stunning couple!

How fun is this? I couldn't decide between the color and b&w.


I really liked this one. I thought the red hat and boots were such a fun idea! Thanks L&S. You two made me smile the whole time. Can't wait for the big day!




The Magic Hat...

So here's a great story..... my sister Jill got a hat from her sister-in-law and it's been passed around and finally ended up with my little girl so I thought I'd snap some cute pics of the girls wearing it. I posted  them here. So one day I thought , " I want a good picture of me." Of course that means I have to take one of myself, so I did a few and then..... I saw THE HAT sitting on the floor, threw it on and it was like I was a different person. It transformed me, well, not really, but I felt sassy and liked the pictures a lot better with the hat.

This one seems to be the favorite. I'm not a hat girl but I felt like one wearing this one. I had said in my personal blog that every woman needs a picture that they feel beautiful in.

Well my sister came up this weekend and we had a photo shoot. She looked great and has the most beautiful eyes. We played around for a bit. I think we got some really great ones. I've always loved how she did her make up. Don't her eyes look beautiful?!

I love getting this look. I call it the "Cullen" look. I've only done one other one.

Then after about 25 minutes I said, "okay.... the hat." And then BAM! Magic. Look how beautiful that is! I think she looks so happy and beautiful. See.... magic hat! Thanks Mel. That was so fun.

Oh to be in love.....

One of my favorite things to do is to photograph weddings. So fun and such an important time in one's life. These two were so funny, I mean seriously. Half the pictures ended up like this:



But then we got some fabulous ones like this one


and this one which I just love!

The groom was such a gentleman. It was nearly freezing outside and he waited outside the car door to open it for his mother-in-law. Keep that up and you'll be golden!



It was so  fun taking their pictures and seeing how happy they are together and how much they enjoy being together. Made me want to run home to my hubby and pretend we were 20 again! Congrats you two. You make a beautiful couple!

Baby it's cold outside!

I guess Logan is as cold as they say. Haven't done any pictures outside lately, just way too cold! My Mom and sister came up this weekend, so we shot some pictures of the youngest cousin- Porter. He's grown up quite a bit since his last photo session. He's so easy to get to smile and isn't that hair just so cute?! We had a good time having them visit. Always nice to have a change during the winter! So... here are a few of this cute little (only in age:)) baby boy.

Preemie x 2 = Double sweetness!

We headed down to Salt Lake for New Year's, but I stopped by Primary Children's Hospital with my sister Jill to take pictures of these sweet babies. The Mom is a friend of Jill's from Hawaii and she just had these sweet little babies 4 weeks ago. They were barely over a pound each. Amazing! It was a tougher shoot than usual in the way that there was no light, small space and we couldn't really move them or pose them but they were so perfectly still that it worked out okay. I couldn't believe how tiny there were. Right as I was getting to leave, the daddy walked  in so we were able to grab a few with him. Hope you like these pictures Hayley. You can tell they are very special girls!
