What I've Been Up to

This weekend was full of family pictures. My brother-in-law Jordan leaves to serve an LDS Mission in Africa next week and we decided we better get a family picture before he left. Thanks to my dad dancing behind the camera, a tripod, and a few little lies promising candy that I didn't have, we managed to get a fairly decent family picture...

(I realize it's a little hard to see but this is as big as I can load it on the blog)

I couldn't decide which edit I liked better of Colby's brother Josh and his cute family...

Don't you just LOVE little Reese's hands over her face? Too Cute!


Colby's cousin Talisha and her cute little family...


And of course, my beautiful cousin Amanda...


Can you tell I have HUNDREDS of photos to edit? My life is Crazy!

My Bucket List for Photography

I have a list of things I would LOVE to photograph in my life and a beautiful ballerina was one of them. Today, I got the wonderful opportunity to photograph my cousin Amanda. She was so willing to let me photograph her and I appreciate her allowing me to do this. I was completely excited for this day to come and I have only looked at this one photo so far! More to come. I promise you won't be disappointed!

The Little Family

Here's another quick family preview! I am almost done editing their pictures! I am ALMOST ALMOST caught up on my editing from the last few weeks.












ENJOY!

The Keen Family

Remember all those Family sessions I said I had to edit? Well I have finished three of them and I only have one left! I finally feel like I am getting caught up (just in time to start shooting more sessions next week). This cute family has been waiting patiently (just like everyone else) to see their photos. Just sent them off at the post office fifteen minutes ago....

Carter really enjoyed eating the grass...













I think he is adorable!










I had a fun time being able to photograph this family! Enjoy your photos and thanks again!

Wordless Wednesday: Shane + Valorie

Devin + Megan

I had SO MUCH FUN with this couple! They are simply perfect for each other. Devin was so cute with Megan and couldn't take his eyes off her! Megan has the prettiest eyes and is beautiful! I promised them a quick preview...














P.S. Don't be surprised if you end up going down a random dirt road a little too fast, getting bounced around, and laying in a field with bugs crawling all over you at my photo sessions. Anything to get some awesome photos right?! Thanks guys for being good sports!

A Day at the Beach

I don't usually share a lot of family photos on this blog but I wanted to show everyone that I really do have a life of my own. I really do take time for my family which is why sometimes my editing gets delayed...

Last Saturday we made a trip to the beach. It was a windy, cold day and not exactly perfect conditions but we had a fun day! Trevin loved running in the ocean and playing in the sand while Easton didn't think it was too exciting. After playing in the sand and water, the sun finally decided to show through the clouds.

Trevin didn't exactly make it out of the water before he fell and got smacked by a small wave on the left side of his face...





All of us (including the girls) enjoyed many volleyball games...


Wish I was still there...
Now back to editing photos and a few long nights working at the hospital.

More of the Carter Family

Wow, what a crazy month I have had! I can't believe how fast time has flown by! I took these pictures at the end of May and am just getting around to finishing them! Still have a few more families to finish. Again, I am sorry for those of you who are waiting! I promise this weekend to finish them!

Just got back from a week long vacation in California. We went to Disneyland, an Angels game, and enjoyed the beach including a little family volleyball tournament! It was so much fun! Now it's time for a little reality check and back to the real world.
