Jealous? Why Yes I am :)

I meet some of the nicest people when I take pictures. Last Saturday I had a girl, who my mom and sisters work with at the hospital, and her fiancee. Not only were they so nice and easy to work with, they are absolutely beautiful people! Just looking at Sarah's lucious red curly hair I think made my stick straight, brown, baby fine hair fall just a little more flat in defeat to such loveliness! In all seriousness they were awesome and I am so glad I got to work with them!

Yummy Little Bunnies!

I've said it before, I'll say it again. These kids are darn cute! We took these pictures in the backyard a couple of weeks ago. I'm so glad we did because a huge ol storm blew through park city and brought all the leaves down off the trees. I'm not sure why but when I look at these I think of children's books like Where The Wild Things Are and Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots? (yes they do). Young kids are just so blessedly uninhibited. Although I think I may be starting to corrupt that relaxed attitude toward the camera because they are starting to pose when I pull the camera out. Darn. I like some formal shots (for the grandparents) but mostly I like the unplanned and real images I get when I just put on a long lens and watch the play. Anyway, here is a mix of the two.

My Family is Hot! (actually it was really really cold)

This is my beautiful family. They are the best people you will ever meet! They came up to Park City to have conference Sunday brunch and do our family Christmas pics with the newest addition and first grandchild, gorgeous Swayzi Ela. I don't love having to set the timer and run because I can't see how I look. Yup I own it, I am vain! Not too much though :) But this one came out okay I think. My favorite part is Sway's shoes on the ground cuz she can't stand shoes! More of this series later. I am kinda still behind on posts.

Roberts Family 09

Wow! It has been a really long time since I have put anything up here! I have been busy I guess but still, 2 months?! Oh well, nuthin for it now right? I have a bunch of stuff I need to post but for right now I am just going to put up a little sneak peek for my best friends. Aren't they gorgeous people? And their girls are super adorable! I may be a tad biased seeing that they are my God Daughters but still. They are beautiful! Anyway hope you like them.

The Hills Are Alive. . . With the Sound of Music!!!

Sneak Peek for Mel!

A couple weeks ago I had the funnest time doing pictures of my friend Mel's little guy, Jackson. Isn't he scrumptious? I could just eat his face he is so yummy, although I was told in a text that some naughty little neighbor beat me to it! Poor little guy.

Anyway these are some of my favorites. Enjoy!

There is this blog that I totally love, it has the cutest ideas for scrapbooking on it. It's called Just Us by Elizabeth Kartchner (did I spell that right, I better go back and look). She had this idea to have your cameras ready and on July 8th 2009 you should take a picture of whatever you are doing at 10:11 and this is what I was doing

10:11 am- Grocery shopping with Braden. I think most of you know that the photography thing is more of a hobby and I just have fun with it as a little side gig. I am actually a (very) full time nanny. We were at Albertsons and I had this cute idea for Taryn to hold a carrot and a mango to represent number 10 and I had Braden holding a piece of rhubarb and a cob of corn to represent 11. Well. . . first they looked at me funny, then they tried to eat the items in their hands (yes Taryn was licking the corn silk -ew!) and when I told them not to they cried and said they were SOOO hungry. It was then that Taryn saw the donut cabinet and bolted. I always said I would control my children and no amount of temper-fitting would make me like those moms who let their kids open a box of crackers before paying to avoid a tantrum. . . Yeah that notion just flew out the window today! And you know what? It was kinda fun! No one looked at me funny, and the cashiers thought the kids were hilarious and gave them stickers and little plastic rings in the shape of baby bottles that said "Its a Girl!" This picture is of Braden showing off his treat.

And 10:11 pm

These ones I just went out in the backyard and did a very long exposure in the moonlight. I love how the moonlight makes everything seem to glow in a much more ethereal way than sunlight. Yeah and it was dark and autofocus doesn't work so well and I had a hard time focusing so the focus is super soft, but I kinda like it, it looks sorta like a painting I think.

Thanks for the super fun idea Liz!
