Francine’s Mission Photos :: Utah Missionary Photographer

My beautiful sister, Francine, recently turned in her papers to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I took this head shots for her to submit with her paperwork.

It was fun to have her over for a visit and a pleasure to take her mission portraits. You’ll make a wonderful missionary, dear sister, I can’t wait to see where you end up going!

On a more humorous note, my little guy desperately wanted to be a part of this shoot. He went upstairs and found a stool and sat on it, along side Francine, for nearly the whole time. Ha ha. Since we were basically just doing head shots, I let him stay there.

The silly kid grinned almost every time I lifted the camera – funny that he didn’t realize that I wasn’t actually taking pictures of him.  I think he just missed hanging with his aunt. Anyway, here is an snap showing him on his little perch.

Cordner Family :: Utah Family Photographer

I had an awesome shoot with some good friends this past week. It was a cold and rainy December day, but we managed to find a great indoor location that made for some fun family photos.

Thanks guys for putting up with all my wild ideas. It was a lot of fun and I love how they turned out!

Little Sydney Lou Who :: Utah Child Photographer

Doesn’t this little girl look like she could step out of the pages of a Dr. Suess book. She’s so petite and I just love her tiny pigtails. So cute!

It was one of those days when we were in a race against the weather… and I think we just barely made it in time… one of those fall leaf sessions that got pushed a little too late in the season. We hit a pretty cold day, and didn’t end up having much time, but I think we managed to capture the leaves we were after! Hooray for that!

Let’s play again (no charge this time) in the spring, Traci, we didn’t have much this go ’round between the cold air and her poor little nose turning pink.
Here is a quick look two of my favorites from today. More to come!

Claire :: Utah Maternity Photographer

My cute friend Claire, and her cute belly!
Had tons of fun snapping some portraits of Claire and her soon to be baby. She brought along her almost two year old son and her husband, and we all had a wild time running around and taking pictures.

Claire, I think you are one beautiful pregnant lady! Thanks for letting me take these for you! It was one of those crazy days where if my head weren’t attached to my body I would have probably lost it – I felt so scattered… still do. Haha. Anyway, we got some cute ones, here’s a little peek!!

Ma petite :: Utah Child Photographer

Check out the pictures of this adorable little lady. She has to be one of the cutest little kids I’ve ever met. She’s almost two now, and just so tiny. My 4 month old daughter weighs almost as much as she does – I have the chubby babies!

Anyway, we found this fun old house and had a great time. There was a little too much broken glass inside for a little one though. Super fun for engagements, seniors, or maybe even bridals in the future though! Oh.. and there was this hawk. Haha… it was loud. It took up residence in a nearby tree. Not sure that hawk liked having us nearby. Good times.

Anyway, hope you enjoy these pictures. I love them!!

G Family and little baby B’s 6 month portraits :: Utah Family Photographer

I LOVE this family!!

I’ve taken their pictures once before, back when they lived here in Cache Valley. They moved to Salt Lake a couple of years ago, and the valley hasn’t been the same since. They came up this past weekend to get some family portraits done and have some of the littlest on his 6 month birthday.

Here’s a little peek. It was great to see you guys again!

Damsel in Distress

The following series of images were taken on a whim the other day. The kids were great sports, and did an awesome job acting out their parts.

I couldn’t help but change the images to sepia tone and add the conversation bubbles. It simply HAD to be done.

Too bad its not stop motion animation… or 8mm reel to reel film complete with all the grain, dust, and scratches. I guess I could have added those too.

Please read the text in the bubbles and enjoy the story. And let me know what you think!
(Note: You can right-click and select “view image” if you want to see it a little bigger.)


…I’m not really sure WHAT his plan is, but it sounded good.

.
…you know that’s what she’s thinking. Just look at that face.

Okay, I think this is adorable. But, for the record, I typically don’t encourage toddler kissing for the sake of photography. Given the nature of this photo shoot I asked her to reach up and kiss his cheek. She did. But he turned and puckered up. I had them try again. Again, he turned and puckered up. I think he wanted the kiss.

On a somewhat unrelated note, on the way back the cars she tried to give him a dandelion that she’d picked. He turned it down saying, “No thanks, I don’t want to get married.” Typical. All about the NCMO. No commitment here. lol! So there you have it… flowers = marriage proposal. I hope all you single people out there are paying attention.

Lastly… Precious Moments?? Okay, maybe not.

Well, there it is folks!

Thanks kids for being such great sports! You were fabulous!
