Excuses excuses!

This summer has been so busy. I've been gone a lot so I haven't done too many shoots, but things are starting to pick up some more, which I really enjoy. For my mother-in-law's bday I took pictures of all 12 grand kids to update their picture wall. I feel like they turned out pretty good. We moved pretty fast since the oldest is 12 and the youngest was 8 months old. These are my kiddos. Love them!

This beautiful spot was just down the dirt road a little. Can't believe there are this many kiddos and how fast they are all growing!

We had a great time out there and spent some time on Seneca Lake in New York. I wish I would have had some time to go around and photograph the area, but instead I got a few from where we were.

Our drive home I had to pull over and grab a few pictures of the windmills in Wyoming. I thought they were so spectacular! Again..... wish I had had more time to photograph all the beauty around me. Maybe next time.

Before we left for our trip I was able to get a few pictures of my cute little neighbor boys. I love the one of the older brother choke holding the little brother. Makes me laugh. Probably a more true portrait of everyday life.

This past weekend I had 3 photo shoots. The first one was a family from our neighborhood 2 years ago. Amazing how much a family can grow and change in that time! It was fun working with them and their kids are beautiful! Guess it's from their good lookin' parents.

The next day I had my cute little nephew. He has the bluest eyes and the cutest smile. He was so easy to get to smile.

Later that night I had an engagement shoot. Before they got there I was sitting in front of the Salt Lake LDS temple and thought it looked so awesome, so I snapped a picture. Such an amazing building! 

I haven't had a chance to get through all of the pictures yet, but here's one that caught my eye as I ran through them. Fun couple and amazing eyes! So fun! Can't wait to get through the rest of them.

Time for Love!

I don't know if I'll ever get caught up. There's so much going on and much more happening, but I'm thrilled to post some pictures of my sister's wedding we just had. It was a wonderful day and she was a beautiful bride! We love the choice she made and he'll be a great addition to our family! I had a hard time deciding the pictures to post. I may have to add more later. I still need to do her bridals too. See.... never caught up!

Catch up....

I'm still playing catch up from the last 6 months. This set is Miss C's monthly picture. They change so fast so we try and get some each month on their "monthly birthday".

Wedding

I'm still playing major catch up with all the pictures I've done over the last 6 months, but I thought I'd post a few from the wedding I did last Saturday. It was AWFUL weather!!!  It was seriously out of control and very surprising that we even got this first one without any snow all over her beautiful face! We finally called it quits, but here are a few that I thought turned out great.

New Nephew

I got a new nephew about 3 weeks after our baby was born. He is so sweet and just so perfect looking. My sister and her family came up for a visit so we snapped a few pictures of their cute family. We got one of the proud new big sister:

Then we got a few of the family together. You can see the personalities really shine in the family pictures! That little Maya is such a spaz!

 I really loved how vibrant the colors were and they were in my own back yard!  We love this family!

A little later on, Mama, baby and I snuck off for a quick photo session of just the babe and I thought some of these pictures just turned out so priceless. Isn't he just a beautiful baby?! Looking forward to more photos throughout his life!

 

Baby and Me

Rarely do I find myself in front of the camera, but I had to take advantage of the moment when my Mom had all my other kids and so it was just baby and me. I wanted to snap a few pictures of the two of us together, something I didn't really do with the others in a more "formal" set up. I was pleased with how they turned out especially considering that I was using a timer and my remote to try and get them of myself. So glad that I did this!

 

 

My Boy

Well now I'm down to 1. One more kid to photograph before the baby comes. We had a quick session and ended up with a lot of these cheesers: 

A few of these sweet, which I LOVE, but not quite what I was looking for:

         And then the final shot, the one I was looking for, although I love the one above, so we'll see.

Growing up

I haven't been on here for a while and haven't been doing a whole lot of photography, which has been a nice break. We're on the count down. 2 more weeks until this baby is due! The other day I played around with my lights, the first time in our new house, and snapped a few of Elizabeth. She's growing up so fast! Probably won't be putting much up here for the next little bit either until I get a few of our new baby, so until then.....
