The rest of the family...

Later that day we gathered up the rest of the family and did some more pictures... Isn't my sister gorgeous? And her children... beautiful, don't you think? I think so. I love them like they're my own. They're all such sweethearts for kids! They're also excellent examples and great friends to my kids. I am a lucky Aunt Stepha!

Gorgeous little Niece of mine!

Yesterday I met up with my sister and we took a few of her baby girl. She turned one last month so she wanted some 1 year old pictures of her. At first we tried in the studio but the natural light was muted because of all the clouds, so we decided to go outside, but would you know it the sun started shinning right down on us. We could see that the entire valley was covered by great clouds, except for where were were at! So back to the studio we went. Oh well, here's one that I love! The sun shinning right on her beautiful little face and bright blue eyes.

Eureka!

Last weekend, I was invited to come along on a "Mini Photowalk" to Eureka, UT. What an incredible (kinda) ghost town. Apparently, this town used to be as big as Park City. It thrived on Gold and when the gold mining ran out, the town died with it. It's got some incredible little, old shops that seem to be the main street of town. It's so sad to see, but it appeared as though they may be trying to bring it back to life. There was so much there, and so many great places to take pictures. It's a gold mine in the fact that there are SO many cool places to shoot. I could have spent the WHOLE day there. I know we'll go back, it's just so cool there. Here are a few faves...

With or without texture... either way she's gorgeous.

My friend!

My darling friend Andrea is so great to me. I was in desperate need of a babysitter the weekend I went up to Idaho to shoot a wedding. She stepped in and offered which I thought was so sweet of her. She said to me, "That's what friends are for." Thank you Andrea, you have no idea how much that meant to me. Nothing better than good friends in life! What would we do without them? Here are a few of her looking super fab! Don't ya think?

4 weeks to go...

This past week, I had to opportunity to go out and photograph my gorgeous sister in law. She's due this month with baby #2. I think she looks amazing. I have never looked this good the last month of pregnancy with any of my three. I'm so jealous.

Okay so here's a few more like I promised...

My little girl as happy as can be... I love this kid!!!

Matilda Jane Clothing...

I am so stinkin' excited right now! I am a major fan of Matilda Jane Clothing and think my kids look so ADORABLE in every piece I've ever gotten. They are just the cutest clothes in the whole world. Today, I received one awesome compliment when I found that the latest blog header on the Matilda Jane blog is not only my daughter, but a picture I took of her. To view click here. It means the world because not only is she amazingly creative, she is a photographer herself. So this comes as a major compliment to me.

Oh my goodness!!!!

I just HAD to throw this up immediately, more to come tomorrow when I have a chance to edit the rest from today! It was a spur of the moment thing... on the way home from the gym "B" was being ABSOLUTELY adorable laughing in the car, giggling at the silliest things and making me smile. I decided (since my MJ raspberry ruffles came today) to run home throw her MJ outfit on and take her out for pictures. I told "S" and "J" to grab their cameras (Fisher Price) and let's go do a photo shoot of "B". They were all for it. So, the three of us, cameras in hand headed out the door. I could not have asked for better. The smiles and giggling continued and I captured some of her biggest smiles EVER today! I'm so glad. She is one happy kid and I love her beautiful smile. Here's just one of many more I'll post tomorrow. I've got to run out the door to do another photo shoot....

Scott and Victoria...

Suzanne and I had the opportunity to shoot this darling couple last Friday. The family was fabulous... SO FUN! I really enjoy hanging out and meeting so many great people that day. Weddings are great, everyone is so upbeat, happy, silly even on wedding days. It makes it so much fun. Makes me smile behind the camera to watch and capture them in the moment. Here are a few faves...
