I love doing shoot for my friends and their families. Especially when it as laid back as this shoot was. We just did it at their house and everyone was comfortable. Sometimes familiar locations make the best settings. It is so fun to capture little moments and share them with someone you care about. These are of my good friend and her kids. You can't tell but she was expecting a baby boy at the time. Can't wait till I get back to Utah and can get some shots of him!
What a wonderful night this was! I was thrilled to be able to be there for my best friend on her special day. I only wish I'd had more time with the happy couple to get some more shots, but it just wasn't in the schedule. Oh well. Here are a few of my favorites from the evening. Love you B!
Another super cute family. I love these kids! Mom had the great idea to bring big lollipops for the end of the photo session when nerves were running high and the kids were sick of posing and smiling. Genius! What a cute prop!
My good friends and neighbors needed some photos for their Christmas cards. We chose the old Brigham Young home as the backdrop because it was so festive. What a fun family! Love these guys!
I am usually the one behind the camera, but of course that means I am never in the pictures. So, when it was Christmas card time, a friend of mine helped me out and got a few family photos. You'll have to visit my family blog to see the family pictures though. Then, because the kids looked so darn cute that it just couldn't be wasted, I took them out for their own photo shoot. It's SO much more fun to take pictures than be in them!And my personal favorite, only because it is, to me, pure happiness.
I started photography as a hobby several years ago and got more and more inspired by my beautiful kids and by living in scenic Switzerland for a year. I have taken a college photo course and hope to continue my education as my time allows. I do not profess to be a professional by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a talent I am developing. I have been known to spend hours at the computer sifting through and editing photos as well as pouring over sites of more experienced photographers and admiring their creativity. This is just a place to share some of my favorite photos. Thanks for looking!
