Miss {B}...

I know what you're thinking, but no, this is not a FASHION SHOOT with a TOP MODEL... this is beautiful Miss {B} getting her SENIOR PICTURES done. It seemed like a bummer at the time, but we had to re-arrange our meeting place due to weather (MUD!) and I am sooooo glad. I am IN LOVE with these pictures. RAD LOCATIONS and a beautiful girl make my job pretty easy! :)

check 'em out...

COWBOY BOOTS?? Are you kidding me... a girl after my own HEART!

Miss {B} is also on her High School SOCCER team.

I usually say which pic is my favorite... but I have had a really hard time choosing. SO, I am going to say what my VOTE for Miss {B}'s FACEBOOK PROFILE should be. You ready? Here it is...

The Christensens...

These are my nephews and my niece... aren't they cute??

We did this shoot in BLANDING. (for those of you who don't know where that is... you're not alone. Think about how FAR away MOAB is and then add an hour.) I have a THING for ORCHARDS and crappy old TRUCKS and luckily, this place had BOTH!

I love this next pic... it's SO HIM!!

This next one is my fave... it's so quirky and could probably make it on

AWKWARD FAMILY PHOTOS...

I can't help but giggle. :)

Thanks, KistiJo, for letting me play with your cute kids! I had a lot of fun. And many many thanks to my helpers... Beverly and Lonnie. Unfortunately, Beverly couldn't be talked into doing a SUDUCTIVE pose for me... so here's Lonnie...

(insert WHISTLE here!)

This is {G}... in her beautiful, princess-esque, Baptism dress. I've never done pictures for a BAPTISM before...I loved it. This pretty girl was SO much fun to pose and play with...

such a TREAT for ME!

For some reason, I love the strange light shining through these gnarly tree branches in this next one...

Ok... ready for my FAVORITE?? Here it is...

You are such a sweet-heart, {G}!

America's Next Kid Model...

I was asked by my husband's cousin (and MY good friend, I might add!) to take pictures of her beautiful little girl. This cutie is trying to start a MODELING career and they need pics for her portfolio! (no pressure, Al!) Here are a few of my favorites...

Work it, GIRL! and good luck to you.

Rub a Dub Dub!

Bathtub pictures MIGHT be my favorite pictures! NOT ONLY are these 2 kids DARLING and flipping funny...they are my nephews, so I get to take pictures of them ALMOST anytime I want. I had so much FUN and I think they were having fun, too. Check these out...

I'm so glad I have a sister nearby, so I can play with her and her kids from time to time!

Love ya, Jen!

Generation Pics...

A few weeks ago, I had the rare... BUT SPECIAL... task of photographing 4 beautiful ladies. I'm sure there's a name for this type of picture... GENERATION PICTURE, maybe? I like the sound of that... let's call it that. It was a shoot of a MOTHER, her DAUGHTER, her GRAND-DAUGHTER, and her GREAT-GRAND-DAUGHTER... a Generation Picture. Well, I'm going to be honest... we did a few posed pictures infront of a fireplace and I thought I'd be able to PHOTOSHOP the gigantic TV out. I'm pretty good at PhotoShop, but I can't work miracles, I guess. Anyway, I've scheduled a re-take for the POSED pictures. (I was pretty embarassed about that... but I figured I would have been MORE embarassed if I had handed them crappy looking pictures! SO, I swallowed my pride and you'll see their re-takes next month.)

HERE is the FUN part of the photoshoot... the part that I'm pretty excited about. I took pictures of them making SUGAR COOKIES!! Here are a few of my faves...

I can honestly say that I know these cookies were made with LOVE!

Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails.

I Corinthians 13:4-8

Happy Valentine's Day!!
