Can I just tell you how much I loved this shoot?  Such an awesome family, adorable kids (and couple) and the setting, the day, it was amazing!  So maybe I'm a little (a lot) behind on posting, since these were taken last fall.  It can give us all something to look forward to after a hot summer, right?  

 This next one is one of my favorites...love it :)

 And my favorite kind of moment...

Again, I love the candids.  Mom holding her little one.  Nothing more precious.

I'm sensing a theme here...love the tongues.  

See what I mean?  This family is amazing, and I'm so grateful I got to photograph them, and even more grateful to know them.  As always, thanks for looking, hopefully I'll see you all soon!

Little Miss M Turns One!

 Turning one is a special time for all children, but since this little one has already been through a few heart surgeries, it had even more significance for her.  And what an adorable girl!  I had so much fun photographing her! 

Seriously, could that smile be any more precious?

Just saying...I love books, so these are some of my favorites :)

 Big Utah fans at their house...and it shows!

On this next one, I'd love to hear...do you prefer color or black and white?

 

 And last but not least, the cutest peacock ever!  I love this Halloween costume.  And congrats to miss M on your birthday.  I can't wait to watch you grow!

K Family

See those beautiful fall colors?  Yeah, I'm that behind on posting, but I had to share this beautiful family with you. 

 Though she's looking down, I just loved this next one with the look on her face, her beautiful red hair, and the colors surrounding, so I'm sharing :)

 I LOVE this next photo, and the mom did too.  The interactions and smiles on the kids are priceless, and now Mom has a gorgeous canvas sitting in her living room

 I had fun with this one in black and white, bring out those cute freckles.  Anyone else love freckles as much as me?

And there you have it!  Thanks so much to the K family for letting me share in your day.  See ya soon!

Senior Beauty

I know I've mentioned this before, but I really love taking photos of seniors.  They are up for anything, and at such a fun stage in life.  Miss 'K' was no exception.  She really wanted some fall colors, and I'm so glad she did...it was beautiful!  So here you go...

See that deer in the background?  She just sat and watched us for quite a while, though we were quite close.  Then we noticed a few others later on in the woods around us.  It was really an awesome day, and I know this young lady will do incredible things.  Thanks for letting me be a part of your senior experience!

As always, thanks for looking!

J Family

The mom in this family is is an amazing person, photographer, and friend of mine :)  I've been lucky to know her for the last few years, do some fun photo shoots with her, learn from her, and watch her family grow.  It was fun, but intimidating, to take family photos for her; but as always, she has an amazing sense of style and her whole family was a natural in front of the camera.  So on to the images!

Gorgeous mama alert

This next one's one of my favorites...I love the way they're looking at each other

You can see here where little one got those amazing eyes!

I love this next one, even though she's gripping Daddy's hair-I love the real emotions in it

I love the real emotions in these images, the interactions between family members.  On my own walls those are the photos that make me smile, where I see the love showing between my husband and I and our kids.  Which ones make you smile?
