I thought I would share a little bit of the sweetness I get to see everyday...

Where have I been? {everything photography}

Wow.  I cannot believe how long it has been since I put up a post.  I wish I could say there was some huge exciting event keeping me away but no. Christmas, illness, family, and New Years have taken up all of my free time lately.  However, I have been doing some really amazing shoots in between all of the holiday cheer. So here you go, a quick recap of a few of my favorite images.  A more in depth account of each session will be coming soon.  So don't give up on me yet! My new years resolution is to blog way more often so, show me a little love by checking back often and I will keep things more up to date. Promise.

We have been trying to get my husbands family together for what seems like FOREVER! My mother-in-law has been wanting to get these done for literally years.  So, after much planning and re planning, I am glad to say that we were finally able to get everyone together.  Now, I know I am a bit bias but these kids are do dang cute I can hardly stand it.

 

Just look at these kids.  You cannot tell me they aren't total studs.  I love the above right image; Tys is such a good big brother!

I would say 98% of the time that I see Bryn she is just grinnin'.  Except of course when we wanted her to for family pictures, isn't that how it always works out?

I love this little smile. I think she knew when all the family shots were done because that's when she turned into a total ham and wanted nothing more than to have her picture taken.

The only time this little girl gave us one of her amazing real smiles was when she could choke out her dad.  And, she can give some pretty intense hugs as you can see below.

I'm not really sure why but  the next image just makes me smile.  I love their "too cool" expressions.

And here we all are again. If you can't pick me out, I am the shortest one with the blue scarf on the left.  Thanks for such a great shoot everyone and Wan, your wall is going to look amazing!

I had so much fun at this photo session. Brooke and Kevin's three little girls did such an amazing job showing their fun personalities. Especially after some help by Kevin, which included many blown kisses, tickling, and good old candy brides, the girls gave me some awesome faces. In addition to gorgeous smiles, this family had such a great look. For real, if you question what to wear to a photo session here is an amazing example of mixing up some fun patterns and colors that pop while still keeping everyone coordinated. I especially love the red fingernails detail that tied all the girls together, so cute. Thanks again for letting me photograph your sweet family!






Who doesn't love baby feet?








I am in love with the following series. Again a special thanks needs to go out to Kevin for these two photos; the expressions these girls had while playing with their dad just make me smile.

Barneys {kids/family photography}

First of all, let me just say the I absolutely LOVE everything about this session. I was warned at the beginning that the boys were a little shy. But, after I layed down some smack talk about Utah beating BYU's football team to one of the boys and tried out some reverse psychology to get some real smiles from the other, they were awesome. Infact, the whole family was so fantastic that I had a really hard time narrowing down my favorites. So, this is a large post because that is just what has to happen when I like them all.






I don't know what it is but something about the photo below just makes me happy.


Yes, I know this next image is a little out of focus BUT I just love their expressions. So, I had to share it.







While we were taking a family portrait in this wheat field the boys spotted a praying mantis and it totally consumed their attention. I tried to catch it for them but wussed out as soon as I touched it. Finally, after some big brother encouragement, they caught it! Look how proud he is of his capture.



These two have such different looks but once you put their gorgeous eyes together you can definitely tell they are brothers. Look at those big hazel eyes, exactly the same color.
