Brittany, as I promised...

I LOVE this family. They were so fun to work with and SO complimentary. Not to mention BEAUTIFUL. And I was amazed by how good the little princess was. It was pretty cold and she didn't cry once!
This picture melted my heart. He didn't want any more pictures taken of him...so I took another, because it was too cute not to. I'm so naughty.


I love that the little guy is covering his eyes while his mom and dad are kissing. It kills me!




Yeah, she's really throwing him that high... I was seriously impressed by how strong this girl is.

For Tiffanie

Your beautiful girls...

Can you believe those eyes!?! The redhead below is the blonde's aunt, but they act like sisters. Their moms brought a bag of dress-up clothes so they just went crazy. It was so fun. I miss playing dress-up!





Have you ever seen such a mad princess? I'm sure glad she was though! So cute!

TAG ALONG SESSION WITH JESSICA KETTLE

Jessica Kettle, a talented photographer in Northern Utah, invited me along on a day-long photo shoot yesterday. It was actually a bunch of mini shoots, but she needed some help throughout the day. In return I learned A LOT and took some beautiful pictures!
We spent the morning at some fun, urban locations in Salt Lake and the afternoon was spent at Wheeler Farm for a more country chic location.
She gave me some awesome tips and pointers about in-camera and post-production techniques.
Here are a few of my favorites from yesterday!
Thanks Jessica, you rock!

Here's just a little taste...

OK, so I LOVE these kids. I am so happy that in every picture each of their little personalities shown through. That's why I do photography!
I have to say though, photographing five kids under the age of four is not easy! Especially when one of them has mastered the art of escape! :)

Notice the beautiful, blue-eyed blond standing up? He's planning his next escape. I love it.

I gave them a little buggy to push around to direct the focus of the shot a little and I love the way it turned out.

Can you say, kissing cousins?

Amber, I know you've been anxious to see these!

I love this natural interaction. And what a cool place to hang out with the fam! This is the closest place to the French Quarters in New Orleans that we have in Utah. I love it and I'm so happy they were up for such a fun, urban/vintage shoot.


I love this picture of the three brothers. They were so excited. So much energy!

There are plenty more where these came from!

The cutest little redhead!

Jen, I had so much fun. He has so much personality, I can't stand it!
Happy Birthday to both of you!

My little niece is insanely beautiful!

These are her 6-month pictures. She looks so miniature crawling around!

Here's a little sneak-peak Melissa...

I had a blast with this family. And if you didn't notice, they're gorgeous! I love the way these turned out, so I had to post (just a few) of my favorites.

So, this is my first attempt at sun flare while in manual. I usually use AP, which is what my photography teacher instructed, but I like how much more control I have in manual. I was actually surprised. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.
