SnOw FUN!

Park City can be crazy weather wise. It is always beautiful up here, just very unpredictable. Sometimes the fog rolls through this little cove/canyon where we live and you can't even see to the other side. However sometimes God sends a perfect little postcard worthy scene where there is just enough fog to look soft an serene but not so little that you can see how dull and brownish gray the winter mountains can be. Friday was one of those gorgeous days. I had to drag the kids out back to take a picture or fifty. They were good sports plus is helped that they could walk two steps and be back in their playroom ;) SO here we are. Enjoy!

Soft

I got a little artsy with this one. I usually lean toward the natural, but my photo illustration professor would be peeved if I didn't use my artsy techniques once in a while. (Here it is Simon)

Beautiful Belly!

Have I mentioned that I love maternity pictures? Because I do! They are such a neat experience. I admit that I do enjoy a level of vicarious living when I photograph these beautiful mommies to be. I have not had the experience of a pregnancy myself but doing these portraits, I can't wait! These women that I get to work with all just glow. You can feel the excited anticipation that they feel when they gaze at and lovingly cradle their bellies. I especially love when the dads to be join their partners. They are so gentle and humble. It is just a beautiful experience for all involved.

This particular beautiful mommy is my cousin Tiffany. I've had the privilage to also do her engagements, bridals, and family portraits as well so I kind of feel like I get to come full circle with documenting important moments in her life. Love ya Tiff!!!

Muppets are Funny

Totally has nothing to do with photography. But at the bottom of this page you will find a muppet video spreading the word about volunteering and getting a free day at Disney. I am obsessed with all things Disney.
In other news I did another maternity shoot last week that was so super fun! I will post those images as soon as I am finished with them.
Happy muppet watching!
P.S. turn off the music before you watch

Thank Heaven For Little Boys!

How cute are these two little guys?! Anyone who says that you can't find cute clothes for boys needs to talk to these boys' mama. I didn't know True Religion even made jeans that little! SO cute! I loved that these two just had fun. We did a little posing but really they just explored the site while I shot. They were an absolute pleasure! Thanks Shianne!

Families are great

I love that family can come in every form imaginable! Take these guys for example: The beautiful blonde lady is my Aunt Chelsea. She used to be married to my mom's brother, my uncle Ralph. The lovely older brunette girl is my cousin, Danni. She is the daughter of Ralph's first wife (Chelsea was his second). Yet they are still close! Chelsea insisted that Danni and her fiancee, Mike be in every family picture. I am very impressed by that. Both of them could easily harbor hard feelings and no one would really think anything of it, but they have chosen to rise above the pettiness. I think they are both beautiful, wonderful women and I am blessed to have them in my life.

Grateful For Dear Friends

I love the Gandolph family! They are some of the nicest people in the world! I love when I have excuses to go over to their house cuz they are always so welcoming and easy to talk to. So I was super excited when Carrie asked me to do pictures for them this year. I have tons more but I wanted to put up a little sneak peek for them in the meantime. You guys are the best, love ya!
