Vintage Diva!

2011-09-26T23:46:00.000-06:00

This little girl tugs at my heartstrings on a daily basis. She has the cutest little personality and loves her picture taken. You would think someone had posed her for this shot. Nope! all her. I love you Dani. you and all your adorable drama.

Born on the 4th of July!

2011-06-23T14:58:00.001-06:00

This little beauty was born on the 4th of July. She is my niece and she was so fun to photograph. So beautiful. Such a great model. I had way to much fun with these. She will be getting baptized this summer. I can't believe she is so old already. Her dress was so pretty. Just like a little wedding dress. Thanks guys.

More of the Kids Spring shoot

So hard to decide. . .

2011-06-15T15:54:00.000-06:00

I have been having so much fun with the shots from this shoot. I just love this shot, but I couldn't decide which I liked better. She is just so beautiful right!

Couldn't Wait!!

2011-06-08T14:36:00.000-06:00

I just couldn't wait to show off this little beauty. She is my niece, so yes I am biased, but isn't she just gorgeous. We had a lot of fun today shooting. I am excited to get to the editing, but for now here you go.

Spring!!!

2011-06-02T23:37:00.000-06:00

Well here is what I have been working on. They are just so adorable if I must say myself :) I just have way too much fun.

These next shots I actually took today and couldn't wait to start on them. I had wanted to get some shots of Triston for my wall since I didn't get very many great ones the other day, but Danika had to have her turn :) Why couldn't they all be this way every day I want to shoot? So we found her a purple wall and took some shots.

I LOVE this one!! Doesn't it just say "old photo" to you? But wait I just took this today :) And the background was a VERY bright purple.

This is Dani with her hands on her hips. Such a diva!

A favorite pair of boots!

2011-05-23T08:30:00.000-06:00

Everyone has them right, but I bet you don't wear them as often as this little girl. She wears them morning noon and night. Doesn't matter if she is in her pjs or not. She will actually get mad if I put her pajamas on that have the feet in them because she can't put her boots on. ;) But at least they are cute right. Here is a preview of what I have to get done.

I know I know. . .

2011-05-17T14:11:00.000-06:00

So I fell off the planet or something. NOT! I was sick enough to not touch Photography for a few months :) Anyways I do have some to post when I get it ready, but for now here is a little eye candy for you! She was so fun to play with and dress up this year I couldn't believe it, so I just kept playing. Here are a couple shots.

And to think, these were all just for fun! I wasn't even trying hard to make her take pictures (because we all know Nichole needs to update pictures) I was just practicing since it has been a while. You should have seen my jaw drop! WOW! Now if the weather would stay cooperative while I don't have a massive headache I could take some more with the boys.

Here are some more fun shots from the shoot Jamie and I did back in October down in St. George. These girls were so fun

Corbin

2011-02-01T01:37:00.000-07:00

This little guy is my new nephew. He was so good. He seriously slept the whole time. As long as he was on something soft and comfy. He was 9 days old for this shoot and absolutely adorable. Congrats to the new family! Thanks guys. I will have more up soon.

Don't you just love the macro shots. I just got an extension tube for my 50mm and I LOVE it!

A bride in a Winter Wonderland

2011-01-18T00:59:00.000-07:00

Here is the rest of Connie's fun shoot in the winter wonderland. This location was just fabulous. I had been eying it for some time and finally talked someone into going there. It was awesome. Thank you so much Connie.

This first one is one of my favorites. I know it is a bit bright, but I just love the lighting. Connie was so good even though it was so bright out.

Bride?

2011-01-17T15:54:00.000-07:00

Well I finally got to do it. I got to photograph a bride. Or at least she looks like one, she is wearing a wedding dress. This is my sis-in-law Connie. While she and my brother were here visiting, she put on her wedding dress (yes it still fits her beautifully after years of being married) I know, WOW right! She was awesome. We had so much fun and the location was amazing. Here is one shot. I was so excited I just had to post one. I will get the rest up later.

Snow baby in color or BW

2011-01-11T13:56:00.000-07:00

I finally got this shot of Dani. Took me forever. All she wants to do is eat snow and look at snow. Not at the camera :) Can't decide which I like best though. I really want to make one a canvas or something. What do you think?

2011-01-11T13:29:00.000-07:00

This is my Sister's family. One there way to the shoot they got stuck in traffic on the freeway and by the time they got there the lighting had faded. I was a little stressed we would even get a shot, but we got a couple. Thanks guys for letting me do these for you. Love ya

Sleepy Baby love!!

2011-01-09T22:03:00.001-07:00

Just the other day I went over to Jamie's to help out with a newborn shoot. This little guy was so good. Even when he wasn't sleeping he was so peaceful. I just love these little yawning shots. I have more to come but I just had to put this one up.

What was the worst place you've traveled to?

2011-01-06T21:03:00.005-07:00

Who's the most famous person you've met?

2011-01-06T21:03:00.001-07:00

Ha Ha Ross the intern from The Tonight show back in 2002 at the Olympics! He was crazy. And I have grabbed Tim McGraw's Hand ;) He has really girly soft hands!

Ask me anything, within reason :) and please leave me your name so I know who I am talking to. It's more fun that way :)

how did you learn to use photoshop

2011-01-06T20:57:00.001-07:00

Oh man. I must say I started with Elements 3.0. A gift from my husband, and I didn't do much with it. My friend Jamie started to show me how to do a few more things 2 years or so a go, and then I got CS3 from my brother and I got addicted to learning new things. Mostly online forums, other photogs and such. Mostly just practicing like crazy. :)

Ask me anything, within reason :) and please leave me your name so I know who I am talking to. It's more fun that way :)

I have cs5, and am a newbie, what is something simple I can do to enhance my photos.

2011-01-06T13:31:00.001-07:00

You can simply add a soft light layer. You hit Ctrl J (on PC) and then change the blending mode to soft light. Then change the layer opacity so that the coloring is not extreme. If you need to you can mask out the skin if it looks too saturated.

Ask me anything, within reason :)

My tribute to the Provo Tabernacle

2010-12-20T16:58:00.000-07:00

So a while back I helped Jamie out to get some family shots for her Christmas card. One of the sites we chose to go was the Provo Tabernacle. Little did we know it wouldn't be around much longer. It was such a shock this past Friday to hear about the fire that had destroyed this beautiful building. I don't have a lot of memories there besides a graduation of my brother and a few Stake conferences, but it was a very beautiful historic building that will be missed. So here are a few shots of the North doors.

St. George Girls

2010-12-12T00:58:00.000-07:00

I am very late in posting these, and there are still a lot to come that are not finished. Jamie and I took all 6 of the kids with us on a road trip to St. George clear back in October. Jamie's niece and her friends were so fun to photograph. They got all dressed up and we headed out to shoot. It was so hot down there. I was sweating buckets, getting a workout, but you would never know it with these chicks. Thanks guys!

Sneek Peek ~ I and baby T!

2010-11-03T14:06:00.000-06:00

This little guy was so adorable. He had the most beautiful skin. He was just over three weeks when I photographed him, and he was wide awake most of the time. He loved to move and rub his face with his hands, and we had a few "accidents". The poor thing hated the lights, and I don't blame him. He just wanted to sleep right and these silly lights kept flashing in his face. I just didn't have much of a choice with the clouds outside. He made for a fun challenge, but just look at that sweet face. It was all worth it. His older brother was so fun. We took him outside and let him roam around in an antique car that Chris' grandpa let me borrow. He had a blast. He didn't even mind I had a big black camera in his face. I was rainy up until shooting time so I was a little worried, but it cleared up right as we started shooting. It made for a little mud and some soggy leaves, but this little guys didn't care. He was so fast I had a hard time keeping up :) I must be getting old or something ;) I had my shutter speed at 250 and still couldn't keep his hands still. Thanks mom for letting me photograph these cuties. They are so adorable.

~A little more Chloe~

2010-10-26T23:15:00.001-06:00

Here is the second helping of little Chloe. She was a hoot with her cake. She dug right in. Only when she picked the cake up (which I got one picture of but I wasn't ready for her to do it so it was really blurry) and dumped it on her foot was she ready to be done eating it. Happy Birthday little girl!!!

This sweet girl is my niece. She was a workout for me. She was not about to sit still. But we grabbed a few before she was completely done. Here is a sneak peek for her family. Still to come are her cake smash pictures :)

Second shooting!

2010-10-22T13:07:00.000-06:00

I got the opportunity to go on a shoot with Jamie a couple weeks ago to be second shooter. It was a lot different than I am used to. I wasn't in charge! I tried to get different angles than Jamie was getting to make things different. It was kinds fun. I got a lot of those "peeking in" shots that I don't normally do. This couple was really great to try whatever we wanted. Thanks guys. And thanks to Jamie.

I was playing around with these next two. What do you think? The first I didn't change much, but the second I made the colors different.

New Blog ~ Dani and Zack

2010-10-20T14:23:00.000-06:00

Well here is my new photography blog. If you would like to visit the old blog go here. I am trying to get everything separated at the moment, so bear with me while I work on this. I have a lot of fun stuff coming up to post so stay tuned. . .

I took the kids out the other day while Triston was at school to get a few shots of Dani now that she is 18mo! We threw some silly clothes on her and of course Zack wanted to wear his Thomas costume and out we went.

A little sun flare for my flower child.

Love this picture

Hello Eyelashes!

I am so excited. She is now just about past the stage where she doesn't want to look at the camera!

Gotta love it! Lately this boy is all about the posing!
