SO behind...

I have been the biggest blog slacker lately. If you want to keep up on my sessions, check me out on Facebook. Here is what I am working on now :)

It's a???

This is my beautiful friend and her cute family. They are having their 3rd baby, and Guess what?!? It's a boy! This session was supposed to take place somewhere else, but the wind was out of control so we took cover by this building. When I was pregnant I hated any pictures of myself. I looked like a big egg. This momma however, looks amazing!

"M" Family

This was a fun session. The kids were such troopers in the cold, and I managed to get them a little muddy but the parents were ok about it :) We took these on a portion of the Jordan River Parkway in Lehi and as we were snapping away people were jogging and biking by. Kinda funny!

It's been awhile...

I have been the biggest slacker lately posting things to my blog. If I am lucky I get a preview or two in on Facebook and that's about it. Here is a way cute little family who just had their first new lil. She had SO much hair. She was the sweetest little thing. I have known the mother since middle school and I was thrilled when they invited me to their home to take some family pictures. This was kind of a lifestyle session and I felt that the images were beautiful in black and white.

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with family”

A few days ago, I was having a rough day. My husband was out of town for work, and my kids were driving me insane! I could not wait for those 2 days to be over so that when he got home I could pass the kids off and say "your turn". Imagine having dad be gone for an entire year! This family is having to say a temporary goodbye to their dad who is in the military. He will be gone for 12 months. It is something that is unimagineable to me. I admire their strength and their support for one another and I know that they will survive this and its only a small part of their journey.

Z Fam-Just a few

I had to share a few of this cute family and the cute cousins.

You're gonna miss this...

This is one of my favorite sessions I have done recently. Let me tell you why. I think people expect their kids to be perfect and sit still and smile in every picture. Truth be told, it usually is not like that. Almost everyone is looking for a perfect picture where everyone is looking and smiling, BUT sometimes the best pictures are just the opposite. This mom, a friend of mine, picked out more candid shots than almost anyone ever has. It made me smile because, these are truly pictures that capture the moment, and capture how your kids were at that age. Thanks Jen for letting your kids and your family be themselves. I had fun. It is hard not to get uptight during family pictures, I know because I do it myself. Sometimes you just have to relax and what will be will be. Take alook at the lyrics to this song below. SO TRUE!!!

[Chorus]
You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast
These Are Some Good Times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Cutest Family Ever. B Fam...

I went to high school with this pretty momma. It is so much fun to see people years later and their cute familees. Jen also does photography in her spare time!
