My beautiful cousin is getting married!!!! How excited was I to take her bridal pics!! Here are a few of my favs.

One proud Mama

2010-11-11T11:41:00.000-08:00

I have been very busy lately, but not with work. We have been blessed with the most beautiful baby boy ever!! He has brought so much joy to our family, and the kids just love him. He is such a sweet addition to the family! I have had 9 months to think about how fun it would be to take pictures of him, and I don't think the pictures have stopped since he arrived. I had to post a few of my new little wonder.

M Family

2010-11-11T07:16:00.000-08:00

My kids are obsessed with my Sister in Law's family. My girls want to be just like her sweet girls, and my son has so much fun with his older cousin. I am blessed to have such amazing examples for me and my kids. I just love this family, and I was so excited to take pictures and spend a little time with them.

Boys of Fall

2010-11-10T19:24:00.001-08:00

Football season has come and gone, but since it is my favorite sport I decided I would post a few Pics of "Action Jaxon". I just can't believe he is already a junior! Time is just slipping away it seems.

The Dennis Family

2010-11-10T18:55:00.000-08:00

I met Monica years ago in school. We are both convinced that we were destined to become friends because our paths seemed to cross over and over. We started out in a spanish class together at SLCC, then she showed up at my work one day as a new employee. I remember orienting her and thinking that she was such a fun person. We would often work the same night shifts and became great friends. We were both excited when we found out we were both accepted into the nursing program. I was lucky to have such an amazing friend throughout nursing school. We have seen each other through so many ups and downs, through marriage, and children, and new jobs. I am so blessed to have a friend like her. Our families are growing and what better way to stop time than in a photograph. So here she is with all her boys, because I am hoping that a little girl will join their family soon (hint, hint).

Brittin Turns One

2010-11-10T18:47:00.000-08:00

My sweet little niece celebrated her birthday on October 6th. I am so excited that our kids have the same birthday. It will be awesome to decorate two cakes! I decided that Brittin needed some pictures since I missed her birthday. They turned out so cute. You would never know that we couldn't get her to sit still for more than two seconds.

Vernon Family

2010-11-10T18:26:00.000-08:00

I love, love, love taking pictures of my family, so I was excited when I was asked to take some pictures of my brother and his family. I am really lucky to have such an amazing family and great in laws. We are actually going to be neighbors soon. I can't wait to have someone to chat with and my kids are thrilled to have their cousins next door.

West Family

2010-11-10T18:19:00.000-08:00

I am convinced that this is the most photogenic boy I have ever taken pictures of. He was such a perfect model until the moment we tried to make him wear a hat. I can't blame him, I hate hats too. Even when he was crying he was still so cute. He also brought along his parents who were a lot of fun.

S Family

2010-09-29T07:37:00.000-07:00

I decided to squeeze in a few more sessions before the baby arrives. I am cutting it close trying to get all the editing done, but I have had so much fun with all the families I have worked with. I have also started maternity leave at my real job, which has left me with a little extra time to prepare for the new little one. So, hopefully this means I will get all caught up with posting my latest sessions--starting with this sneak peek. I just loved working with this family. It gives me hope that having four kids and sanity is possible. They were so fun, and cooperative. They really made my job easy. What a beautiful family!!

Ross Family

2010-09-21T18:38:00.000-07:00

This is one of my favorite families ever!!! My Sister in law and I have been trying to find a time for a photoshoot before her hubby left for Switzerland. I just don't know how she does it taking care of her three kids while her hubby is away. She is such a great Mom and Sister in law, and I just love her kids. They are so photogenic and full of personality. Here are a few pics of her cute family.

Expecting

2010-09-17T07:54:00.000-07:00

Once again I asked my amazing friend Wendy to capture some memories for me. I love maternity photos, it is such a special time. So Wendy and I set out to one of my new favorite spots for a photoshoot. You can see her work at www.wendyandersonphotography.blogspot.com She is so talented and I am lucky to have an amazing friend to share in the photography journey. Thanks Wendy.

Tanner Family

2010-08-26T15:58:00.000-07:00

I have been begging my sister to find time to let me take some pictures of her little munchkin. I just love her!! What a great family, and they all have such amazing blue eyes. So here is a little preview..more to come

2010-08-26T07:03:00.000-07:00

Finally getting around to posting. I can't believe I have been such a slacker. Here is a sneak peek of my last shoot.

School's out for the summer

2010-05-17T06:33:00.000-07:00

After a year of following my little brother around the state for sports events, I am really sad that the year is over. I have enjoyed watching my little brother grow up. Just like my kids-my brother is growing up too fast. I am so proud of him and he has become such a great kid and example for my kids. Looking forward to Junior year!!

more with rapture

2010-05-03T13:43:00.000-07:00

More shots from the "With Rapture" workshop. It was such a fun experience and I learned so much I had to post some pictures of this fun couple. They were so amazing and such good sports about having 10 photographers taking pictures of them all at once.

Blushing Bride

2010-04-30T12:30:00.001-07:00

With the hubby out of town, and busy nurse scheduling finding a time for Whitney's bridal shoot was a challenge. However, she was gracious enough to invite my kids along. Her family was so great and I think Whitney's mom just held Kambree nearly the entire time. What a great family!! My kids had so much fun they asked when we are going to another photo shoot. Even with the distractions, we had a great shoot. Here is a little sneak peek of the evening

Blush Workshop

2010-04-27T08:20:00.000-07:00

I have been waiting and waiting for Brooke of Blush photography to do a workshop. Finally, she gave in. I was so excited I could barely stand it. I have admired her work for so long. She has amazing style and talent. Even more exciting I was able to spend the day with a fellow oncology nurse, photographer, and friend Wendy. We had a blast. I learned so much and left the workshop feeling inspired. I thought I would post some fun portrait shots from the day.

The talented Brooke

Another amazing photographer, though she looks more like a model.

Sweet Baby M

2010-04-15T21:04:00.000-07:00

I absolutely adore this family and their new little one! I was so ready to take her home with me. She was so calm and quiet. I guess she is a supermodel in the making!!

So In Love

2010-04-07T08:19:00.000-07:00

I must admit that I am spoiled and work with some amazing nurses. We have all become such great friends putting this new hospital together. Not only is Whitney a great nurse, she is so fun to talk to. We were all anxiously awaiting her engagement, and I was even more excited to take her engagement photos.

The Vernon Family

2009-12-07T06:34:00.000-08:00

My awesome brother and his family stopped by for a visit over the Thanksgiving holiday. It was freezing!! Here are a few shots from the day.

Photo Friends

2009-12-02T12:10:00.000-08:00

I was so excited and looked forward to these pictures for awhile. I love taking pictures of friends!! Wendy and I have been taking this photography journey together and we have had a blast so far!! I am so blessed to have such a great friend. I call her all the time to get her opinion or talk about our other job as oncology nurses. You can check out Wendy's awesome photos at her blog http://www.wendyandersonphotography.blogspot.com

Sweet Baby Z

2009-12-02T12:04:00.000-08:00

I am finally catching up on the blog and posting some pictures of this sweet little guy. He was so cooperative and even flashed a few smiles. So cute, and so much fun!!

The W Family Utah Family Photographer

2009-11-09T07:47:00.000-08:00

I am always up for a family shoot, but this family was so much fun. Everyone was so happy and laughing and cracking jokes. I had a ball just watching all of them, amazed at how they all get along so well. Here is a little sneak peek.

Senior Portraits

2009-10-22T06:29:00.000-07:00

I had a blast hanging out with my cousin Lexi. She is one of the most funny people that I know. I spent most of the shoot laughing at her funny comments. Not only does she have a great sense of humor, she is the head cheerleader. Here are a few of my favorites

Jaxon

2009-10-21T10:55:00.000-07:00

I consider myself my little brother's biggest fan. Growing up I was much older than him and with my older brothers gone on missions Jaxon and I became buddies. I usually babysat him and took care of him after school. Now I can't take all the credit for his athletic abilities, but I was the one who taught him to throw a football. He is such a great kid and I am so proud of him!!! These are a few shots I took at his last football game.

2009-10-14T11:33:00.000-07:00

I have been blessed with the greatest sister in the world so when I found out she was pregnant--I could barely stand it I was so excited. I waited and waited and waited for baby Brittin to arrive. Was she ever worth the wait! She is just so tiny and beautiful!!!! My sister was amazing and held it together during a very long labor and I was so proud of her. Love ya, Jalee!! Now introducing. . Brittin!!

Baby M

2009-10-10T19:31:00.000-07:00

I have to say that I have the best friend ever. So, of course I have been so excited waiting for her third little boy to arrive. He was in a big hurry to get here and didn't even give mom enough time for an epidural--what a brave woman! I snapped a few shots while I was visiting, and little baby M was not excited about it. We just couldn't get him to sleep. Finally after crying a fussing he dozed off and I had to get a picture of his big yawn. He was exhausted, but soooo cute! I am so blessed to have such a great friend thanks for letting me share in these special moments.

2009-10-09T17:42:00.000-07:00

We drove out to the Great Salt Lake for this family shoot. I have never taken pictures there, so I was excited. I had such a great time. The kids were in heaven running around on the beach and even though it was freezing, they even got in the water. Enjoy your sneak peek-

Only one more week!!

2009-10-01T15:54:00.000-07:00

This is my georgous sister, a few weeks ago I talked her into a maternity photo shoot. Yes, I am a little behind posting. Thanks for being such a good sport! Love ya and can't wait to see my new baby neice.

my favorite model

2009-09-29T16:55:00.000-07:00

It is always nice to take some pictures of my little drama queen. She loves to have her picture taken--good thing, because I love to take pictures

Just one more

2009-09-22T20:54:00.000-07:00

The storm was hot on our trails, but the clouds were amazing!

Stormy family photos

2009-09-22T20:25:00.000-07:00

Here is a sneak peek of my latest shoot. It was such a cloudy day, and we just barely managed to beat the rain. What a fun family, I just loved to see that my 2 year old is not the only one that hates picture day:) I will post some photos of that later, but for now a few more structured family photos.

The Big Day

2009-09-20T10:11:00.000-07:00

Here is a favorite sneak peek from the Wedding. Stay tuned for more. . .

S family

2009-09-20T09:16:00.000-07:00

I have fallen a little behind on my updating. I was so excited for this shoot. I always love taking pictures of my awesome family. Especially since I don't get to see them very often. I had a blast and what fun kids!
I decided to try a few different edits this time around. I just love how unique this one turned out.

2009-08-25T13:25:00.000-07:00

I am so lucky to have two jobs that I love. When I became a nurse I had no idea how much my life would change or how many people would touch my life. These two have become special people to me. Over the course of treatment I have been able to spend time with them, and let me tell you--they are such a fun couple.
I have had an idea for a while to take pictures of the patients and survivors of cancer. I am inspired by the courage and strength that I see in every patient I care for. So, this was my first shoot. Thanks for being such great sports! They are expecting their first little one soon, and I am so excited for them!

I had to get some shots of E in his awesome mask, thanks for being a good sport and wearing it for one of the pics.

Baby S

2009-08-22T20:48:00.001-07:00

These are actually some old photos. I have been very behind since my surgery, but am finally getting back on track. This sweet little guy was so cute. I have been anxiously waiting his arrival since taking his mom's maternity photos. I was so excited to shoot at Wendy's studio, we all had so much fun! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek. Better late than never :)

Engagements

2009-07-30T11:04:00.000-07:00

My sweet cousin is tying the knot. I had so much fun with them taking pictures. We all had a good laugh when I nearly took a spill in the river.

Family Fun

2009-07-26T20:56:00.000-07:00

My cousins from St. George were visiting, so we dicided it would be a great time to capture some family memories.

The boys were not so impressed with picture day, but this one turned out to be one of my favorites--Boys will be Boys.

The teenage beauty.

Baby T

2009-07-23T21:28:00.000-07:00

This cute little one was a challenge. He is 5 weeks old, which makes for an interesting newborn photoshoot. We managed to get some great shots while he was sleeping. I have no idea how I captured one of him smiling. He must have been dreaming--So adorable.

Anticipation

2009-07-10T11:10:00.000-07:00

Maternity Photography is becoming my favorite! I just love capturing such a special time in a woman's life. This georgous mom-to-be was a blast to photograph. What a fun evening we had hopefully the long drive to Coalville wasn't too bad. We were able to capture some awesome shots out in the country.

Here is a little sneak peek of my cute baby nephew.

Grandma Peacock

2009-05-23T08:47:00.000-07:00

For as long as I can remember I have always associated peacocks with my grandparents. They were always running around the ranch, and my grandpa was usually yelling at us or one of the dogs for chasing them. I have always thought they were such beautiful animals, but didnt' so much care for the sound they made early in the morning that usually woke me up. My children love the peacocks as well, and they have always called my grandma "Grandma Peacock". So yesterday my mom suggested that I take some pictures of the peacocks. I was disapppointed that none of them would fan out their tails, but I was able to catch some colorful pics.

To texture or not to texture?

2009-05-22T11:45:00.000-07:00

I love adding texture to my photographs. I thought I would share some of these amazing textures. I just laid them over my picture and used an overlay blending mode. It really helps to add a little flare and character to photographs. This overlay was created by Amanda Rockwell. You can find more of her amazing stuff at www.scrapartist.com !!!

Senior Shots

2009-05-20T14:03:00.000-07:00

What a great sport. She was even willing to walk out in the sheep's field with high heels so that I could take some pictures. We both had a pretty good laugh about it. We just barely finished before the rain started to pour. This made for an amazing backround.

Expecting

2009-05-14T12:39:00.000-07:00

My Awesome Sister-In-Law is expecting a little one soon! Since pregnancy is such an amazing time I decided that she needed some photographs. She was such a great sport. Thanks, Sherie, Love ya.

Childhood is the most beautiful of all life's seasons

2009-05-07T13:13:00.000-07:00
