Natural Beauty

Ashley was a total natural in front of the camera and so fun to photograph. We were able to take big group family photos of their entire family, but first we got some shots of Ashley and her sister. I am posting these of Ashley, but Anne has the photos of her sister which were also great. so we'll post those in a bit. For now, here are two of my favorites-

Life is busy.

It seems we never have a moment to slow down. Between photo shoots, baseball and soccer games, church, family and school it seems like there is never enough time. We have been SO busy lately with lots of photo shoots, but our poor blog has been neglected. We have tried some fun new things, met some wonderful families and been part of some amazing occasions. We are going to try and put up a new post at least every other day until we are all caught up with the fun photos we have been taking. First up is Zach. He had just graduated, but he needed to have senior photos and mission photos done. He was a total blast to work with. He had us laughing the entire time with his sarcastic humor. It was a very fun photo shoot with some great photos!

Another year older...

and he is now seven! Blake actually offered up the idea to me to go and take photos for his birthday. We found some great new spots to take photos. If you like these then got your appointment booked now! Enjoy!

Angie and Rick

There are so many perks to being a photographer, one of our favorites is being able to be involved in some of peoples most joyous and intimate moments. On one hand you feel like a fly on the wall but on the other hand you feel apart of the family as you capture their tears, stresses, excitement but most of all their joy. This wedding was no exception. We left this beautiful venue as "part of the family" . What great people we were able to meet and enjoy this day. Thanks for all the friendships and time we spent with your glorious families.

New look and hopefully more posts!

Well, how do you like our new blog facelift? We have realized we have been slow to post our most recent photo shoots...maybe it's because we have been so busy and editing tons of photos! We are going to try and play catch up with all of our recent shoots. Don't forget to book your holiday session now, there are not many spots left! For now we will leave you with this photo...Ms. Sophia is breathtaking, see for yourself!

And you said......It could not be done!!

So our challenge came in two parts on this Photoshoot. First, Kimberly (mom) said it could not be done to get a good picture of Brady (littlest blonde guy). At first we did not believe it and then we started to take pictures... what a great personality on this one. He was hilarious. I have some true blackmail pictures for his wedding video! The challenge was on!!! However, I think in the end we were all very pleased to get a ton of good ones of Brady. Here is one of our favorites. Second challenge was to convince Kyle (Dad) that it was time for another family picture. "We just took family pictures" he claimed! All in all we got smiles out of both the Challenges! Thanks Kyle and Kim and thanks to your beautiful family.

Seeing Through to the Soul

Sometimes while shooting pictures of a beautiful little girl l it takes some time to pull her "true look" out of her. It seems the longer the shoot goes the more comfortable the little one gets with being herself. This is when you can see her true personality or soul start to emerge through her eyes. I love holding the camera up all ready to shoot the picture and simply waiting until you can see her face soften and her eyes shine. That is when I just start snapping. This truly started to happen with these two darling sisters. We loved taking these pictures! Thanks Lauren and Hannah.







We really enjoyed taking pictures of this family right in their own beautiful backyard. We hope to see you again soon. Love you all.
