The S Fam on a COLD day!

2011-12-30T16:02:00.001-08:00

It was freezing cold the day we took these pictures and these are what we got before baby R’s lips started to turn blue! We will do more of this awesome little family in the spring when the weather is a little warmer!

The R Family

2011-10-23T22:45:00.001-07:00

I loved loved loved the lighting on these as soon as the sun began to set, hence, I can’t pick only a few of my favorites so there are a ton! Enjoy!

The end!

The Weebs Family

2011-10-23T22:33:00.001-07:00

This is my fabulous sister in law and her family. We traded photo ops (she took our family pictures a few weeks after this) in July. It is so nice to be able to hook each other up with great family pictures, at no cost to either of us!

Kyla!

2011-10-03T22:04:00.001-07:00

Since I took these pictures, Kyla and her family have welcomed a precious baby girl to their bunch. Baby girl Emery is absolutely a-dor-a-ble just like her big sis!

The Fabulous D Family!

2011-09-20T21:03:00.001-07:00

I had so much fun with these guys, like old times! Love you D fam!

Cute boys, right?

Holiday Special and Playing Catch-up

2011-09-02T10:55:00.000-07:00

I can't believe it has been a year since I sent this reminder out! I am ready to jump back on the bandwagon after a crazy summer. After being put on bed rest followed by an 8 week stint in the UW NICU, and now being home with a healthy happy family, I will be updating my blog soon to catch up and I want to get back in the game with my holiday special. I know some of you have moved, but I am hoping you will inform friends and family still in the area.

Details:

*schedule a 30 minute "mini-session" for an evening in the months of October or November

*cost: $45

*what you get: 5 edited photos on a DVD to use however you would like (i.e.: Holiday greetings, framed prints for relatives, etc.)

The location is TBD but I have a few new places in mind. Please call me ASAP to schedule your own special session!

Thank you all so much!

Meet Jen

2011-01-20T20:15:00.001-08:00

This is Jennifer. She knew my husband in High School, and decided to contact me to take some cute baby belly pictures. It was an oddly warm day on the beach in January, which was awesome after the freezing cold weather we have been having lately. I had a great time with Jen and Co., and absolutely cannot wait to photograph their precious (girl or boy????) in March…..enjoy the pictures!

The G family

2010-11-12T21:54:00.001-08:00

Meet the G Family! We were FINALLY able to find an afternoon with no rainstorms to take some pictures. It seems that with the weather and now the time change (getting dark sooo early) it is hard to schedule a time that works for everyone. So, I feel accomplished that we got some awesome pictures at a fantastic location with a beautiful family, on a weekday in the evening! Enjoy!

Machen Family...in color

2010-11-04T11:42:00.001-07:00

I love love love these pictures!

Machen Family…in Black and White: I love, love, love the B & W pics too, I couldnt’t narrow it down!

M Fam and the Bus

2010-11-02T09:36:00.001-07:00

The M-fam and I met over a year ago and took some family pictures at the beach, this time we wanted to try something different, so we had to show off Lara’s awesome VW bus. To be honest, it seemed that this one was never going to happen. We had to reschedule 1000 times because of the weather, but we finally got together at the last minute on one of the actual cloudy with no rain type of days.

L-Fam Mini Sesh

2010-10-20T20:59:00.001-07:00

My first Mini-Sesh of October and aren’t they adorable?

Lemme Family

2010-10-19T19:58:00.001-07:00

Meet the Lemme’s! This is Great Grandma B with five grand-children, 3 grand-children (in-laws), and 6 1/2 great grandchildren:

Watch out for the crazy cheerleader move below. Justin (Dad) Suggested that they do this pose, we all thought he was kidding but they actually pulled it off in an amazingly pro-gymnast way!

Grandma Lemme and Grandpa Lemme (below) missed the first part of our scheduled photo shoot the day before, so we did a little make-up sesh the next morning. Not everyone could come back, but we were able to take a few more with Grandma and Grandpa L.

Nate and Karissa (above and below) put this whole thing together and are expecting baby numero uno in a few months. The like to call it “Pat” since they have a shy baby that won’t tell if it is a boy or girl!

All in all a fun evening/morning, and congrats to Nate and Karissa!

Y Fam

2010-10-05T10:01:00.000-07:00

Meet the Y family! I was able to meet up with this family for a second time. the first time I photographed them, their son was only one, and now he's almost 2! They wanted some shots with the bridge in the back ground, and I am so happy with how they turned out. What a gorgeous family!

Good luck on your new adventures and with your new baby boy in a few weeks guys!

Baby Madilynn

2010-10-01T16:21:00.000-07:00

Isn't she the cutest? I am sure she is huge now, since these pictures were taken over a month ago. Here are the things I LOVED about this day:

her hair, the natural light, the blanket that looked/felt like a teddy bear, the polka dot crib sheets, and a sleepy baby. I am sure there were more things that made this an awesome day for pictures too. Congratulations Melissa and Travis on your gorgeous baby girl!

Kassow

2010-09-28T15:17:00.000-07:00

I absolutely love taking pictures for military families. Some husbands are gone so often, that when they have time to get a family picture taken it is a rare chance to create memories for the family to have when daddy is gone. I love being able to provide this for awesome families around here. One thing that I have been hearing a lot lately when deciding on a location, is that almost everyone wants some pictures with the bridge in the background, it is a huge memory for them to have documented since they move around so much. Anywho, enjoy this gorgeous family, I sure did!

Seriously, can you feel the love or what?!?!

Melissa

2010-09-27T19:13:00.000-07:00

Way back when Melissa was still pregnant, we took some maternity pictures. Way back in July! She has since had her sweet baby girl, Madi, who I will be posting some newborn pictures of soon. This was such a great summer evening, great beach, great light, beautiful momma!

The V Family

2010-08-30T20:09:00.001-07:00

This is baby Olivia’s family. She is such a lucky little baby girl to be loved so much by so many people! Her big sis and big bro could not keep their hands off of her. The best part? She loves them just as much! What an awesome family and I had a great time with them!

Enjoy!

Baby Olivia

2010-08-26T16:54:00.001-07:00

Baby Olivia was just the sweetest little petite thing. For those of you who don’t know, I love teeny tiny babies. She was about a month old (I think) when I took these and she was still so teeny tiny. She has amazing blue eyes and was such a good baby to photograph. We shot all of these in about 20 minutes, pretty awesome!

Enjoy!

Roxby

2010-08-11T12:35:00.001-07:00

Last winter (2009) I met Alyssa when she asked me to take some maternity pictures of her. A few months later, baby B was born and we took newborn pictures of him. Finally, last month, I took some family pictures for this beautiful family. I am so lucky to get to meet so many great people who allow me into their lives for a short while! Aren’t they gorgeous!

Egan Wedding

2010-07-13T18:50:00.001-07:00

When I was in Utah, my Dad and I took some photos for a family that he goes to church with. It was fun to be able to work with him, and I am SOOOO excited about how these pictures turned out. I am really excited to be able to share them now!

I LOVE this next iphone shot! I thought of it a while ago, but never have had the chance to try it, and it turned out fabulous!

Breck

2010-07-05T13:04:00.001-07:00

I love this family! They came to me the first time a year ago, and called me up again this spring for some new family photos. I usually do black and whites of all my favorites for my clients. This session, I completely fell in love with all their black and white photos so that is what I am sharing. Enjoy!

Amazingly cute kiddos, right?

Moss Fam

2010-06-05T09:09:00.001-07:00

Perfect beach, perfect lighting, perfect kids, perfect mom and dad. Enjoy!

Hey Everyone

2010-03-20T16:33:00.000-07:00

So, I am still alive and am loving this nice weather we have had. A few weeks ago I enjoyed an evening with some extended family of our great friends. As I was looking over their photos, I quickly realized that this family is gorgeous. These girls are not only beautiful on the outside, but they are also on the inside. Their mom and dad have done an excellent job of keeping them well rounded. Enjoy this beautiful family!

They could not stop laughing at each other!

Do you believe that these two are sisters? They look so different but have an awesome friendship.

And, can you believe these two? They are celebrating their 25th (I think?) anniversary soon.

The End!

Halle Hope

2010-03-19T12:56:00.001-07:00

8 is great! Miss Halle turned 8 and needed some new pictures for her baptism announcement, so we took a few glamour shots.

This girl cracks me up. She is the oldest of all the Soptich cousins and I know they all look up to her, I am so grateful she is such an awesome example for my girls to follow. Rylin was so excited to see her get baptized and cannot wait to follow in her footsteps.

(Of course we had to do a few goofy ones) WE LOVE YOU HALLE!

No Words…

2010-01-15T22:35:00.001-08:00

Sweet. Also one of my most favorite newborn sessions yet.

Cute Preggo Tumtum

2009-11-29T21:08:00.001-08:00

See what I mean! I just can’t wait to meet the little guy in a few weeks!

Wowza!

2009-11-29T20:59:00.001-08:00

I cannot believe it has been a month since I took these pictures! I am behind in blogging but I could not skip over this gorgeous family. Isn’t the little boy the sweetest with his chubby cheeks!

Not-So-Baby Paisley

2009-11-24T15:10:00.001-08:00

Our great friends Ashley and Josh are in town for a while. Their daughter Paisley turned 1 in October so we had some fun and took some pictures. Paisley was in a great mood, which makes it soo easy to get some good shots. Thanks Paisley for being so sweet!

Look at that attitude! She always gives the best “dirty looks” when she catches you looking at her. It is so hard not to laugh because it is so blasted cute!

Another Navy Family!

2009-11-23T12:27:00.001-08:00

Aren’t they the most beautiful family! I again had the privilege of taking some pictures for a dad who is far away. The kids are the cutest, and as you can probably tell they get their eyes from their momma!

Thanks for having me take these pictures guys!

Miss Kara Lynn

2009-11-16T19:26:00.001-08:00

Meet Kara, my adopted little sis that I have known since I was five and she was 3. YIKESS! I love having beautiful friends that let me take their picture!

OOPS! How did these get in here?!?!

Elliott

2009-11-14T22:48:00.001-08:00

Living in a Navy town, it is almost an everyday occurrence to have a friend whose husband has to leave for certain periods of time. Fortunately, I was able to get together with one of my friends while her husband was home and take some pictures for them to have when he leaves again.

Thanks for allowing me to capture these moments for you!

Jake

2009-11-11T19:34:00.001-08:00

This is a little sampling of my first ever Senior boy pictures. I have done a couple Senior girls, but none of the male species. I’m not gonna lie, I had to give him fair warning to just laugh at me if I was a big awkward weirdo or something!

Just to add to the cuteness…

2009-10-02T16:04:00.001-07:00

Here is my other brother and his little family. Do you see how I have to cutest nieces and nephews ever? Seriously.

I love all the crazy looks that lil bro was giving his big sis, it was hilarious, especially because he is pretty stone cold most of the time!

All in all, I love my family, I love having the time to go to Utah to visit and see all of the cuteness!

PS- I am pretty sure we found the only graffiti in Cedar City, so of course I had to use it as a background in the first pictures ;)

Adam and Laurie

2009-09-28T21:04:00.000-07:00

While I was in Utah I took some family pictures for my older bro and his beautiful family. Take a look, this just re-affirms the fact that I have to cutest nieces and nephews around! I will be posting some next of my other brother and his family and, holy cow, I am related to some blasted cute kids!!!

Uh- Mazing

2009-09-28T11:55:00.001-07:00

This was an amazing sunset that I caught in August, isn’t it breathtaking? I can’t wait to get these pictures printed off and put on my wall!

I know, I know, but sooner or later I had to do it

2009-08-30T19:45:00.001-07:00

I made myself wait as long as I could to post this. My goal was to put it up on September 1st, but hey, that is only like 1 day away! As a special bonus, I am charging only $25 for the first 3 people to send someone new to me on either of the days listed. That is a steal of a deal if I have ever heard of one :) Enjoy!

ps-sorry it is a little blurry, I don't know why it is doing that

Supermodels

2009-08-04T14:44:00.001-07:00

I had so much fun with this family last week. The weather was great, the sunset was awesome and the red hair…oh the red hair. I love it. Enjoy!

First off, look at these kids…look at those eyes! I don’t know how one family has three beautiful red heads with beautiful eyes too, it is amazing.

Check out the look on the little curly haired girl, this is one of my most favorite pictures because of her facial expressions. Can we say model?

Awesome

2009-07-19T21:54:00.001-07:00

These kids go to our church and are so fun to take pictures of. The littlest one is the same age as my daughter and he is hilarious. He has a way of raising his eyebrows with every facial expression, it totally adds to his personality. The girl is eight and recently was baptized, so we had to take a few of her in her beautiful white dress. Enjoy!

boys boys boys

2009-07-13T11:38:00.001-07:00

With so many posts lately being about such cute kids, I don’t know what else to say except…AREN’T THEY ADORABLE!

This is baby Charlie, I took some newborn pictures of him on a bookshelf in like February I think. He is growing up so fast and is so so cute with the best blue eyes!

Moo Moo

2009-07-06T16:40:00.001-07:00

I had a fabulous time with this wee little babe last week. She is only a month old, and has the bluest eyes ever. I loved her little cow outfit, I had to get a picture of her in it…isn’t it hilarious??

Carter Turns 1!

2009-06-24T10:29:00.001-07:00

Carter Finley, the first born of our great friends, turned one earlier this month. It was so fun to take pictures of him “digging” into his cake.

Big boy feet! Dirt and all!

I think by this point he was pretty much done, I mean he had already eaten half of the cake :)

More Pink Skirt!

2009-06-18T22:19:00.001-07:00

Isn’t she the cutest one year old ever? I don’t even know what else to say!!!

You all might get sick of this pink skirt…because I love it and I think that EVERY little girl should wear one for some pictures. I am going to bust out the purple one next time! I am so glad that our old house was empty so we could go use our living room as a little studio. If you can’t tell from picture numero uno, the weather outside was yucky with a capital Y!

Amanda (baby Carter’s mom)

2009-06-14T22:49:00.001-07:00

I cannot WAIT until tomorrow to give you the rest of these. That is it. I just love them and I love him and I love you.

The End

-Addyson-

2009-05-31T21:10:00.001-07:00

Addyson is one of the cutest two year olds around these parts. We were going to do a whole family session, but she decided to get a hurt lip while playing on the bleachers so this session is to be continued…for now you can just enjoy her cuteness before the bloody lip incident.

What do you think of the pink skirt?

Ben

2009-05-25T09:25:00.001-07:00

Let me just tell you, this was one of the easiest kids I have EVER taken pictures of. His mom said that when he was little he used to do some modeling…let me tell ya, he was pro. He kept asking me “like this”with his fist under his chin. It was pretty funny. He is so cute, I can’t wait to take pictures of his family in a few weeks!

Fathers Day

2009-05-18T16:40:00.001-07:00

Fathers day is coming up soon, June 21st to be exact. Don’t you think your proud husband/poppa needs a new picture for his desk or wallet? If you schedule a time between now and June 21st to get some updated pictures taken I will be doing them for only $25. For this price you can have the 5 best enhanced pictures on a disc and print what you want to give to your fearless leader.

Thanks!

Isn’t this family adorable? I met up with them last week for some picture taking fun and I love how perfect their outfits were.

These field pictures are my favorite out of the bunch. These kids had such great personalities that show in all of them and like I said…love love love the dresses, and the pink and green combo.

2009-05-05T23:40:00.001-07:00

I had a great time taking some photos at a wedding reception for a cute couple. They were married a week earlier in the Portland Temple so I asked if I could take some pictures during the reception for some practice. I definitely felt a little lost without Dustin there, the only other weddings we have shot at we have done together, but I think it turned out fine. I did realize, though, that it is definitely easier to have a second photographer at such an event. Next time he will have to be there.

I love all the details of a wedding!

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law had a picture like this (above) from their wedding, I loved it and have wanted to attempt it on my own (it was a great shot their photog came up with)

I loved the opportunity to do this to get some more work under my belt indoors with a flash. I was just disappointed my flash diffuser didn’t come in time, but what can ya do.

{cousins}

2009-05-02T17:15:00.001-07:00

The day before Easter we rounded up all the kiddos to get a picture taken for Grandma and Grandpa Sockcick.

Some were sad (my two girlies) but we went on with the show and the results are pretty good considering there are eight kids age seven and under we had to keep happy in the glaring sun and prickly grass

I love this first one with all the funny faces, it just shows all of their personalities.

We, of course, had to get one of Grandpa with all the kids on the tractor, he always loves to drive them around on it

{Tulips}

2009-04-30T11:38:00.001-07:00

Yesterday we went with some friends to see the tulips. We had so much fun taking some pictures of the pretty flowers.

-I couldn’t leave this one of Carter out-

{Adorable}

2009-04-28T21:54:00.001-07:00

I love these kids just as if they were my own nieces and nephew. I also like to claim them because of their cuteness and would claim them any day.

{I haven’t gotten Photoshop up and running yet to watermark these, so consider them watermarked…you just can’t see it}

Finally

2009-04-28T18:33:00.000-07:00

After almost 2 weeks, our computer is up and running again...now I can drown myself in beautiful things like this:

One Hot Momma

2009-04-04T13:29:00.001-07:00

This is my beautiful mom. While she was here in March we took some new pictures of her for my dad’s desk. I have been patiently waiting to post them (until after Dad’s birthday). I think that they all look like senior pictures. My mom is so gorgeous and has the most timeless features. I always tell her that the older she gets, the prettier she gets. Love you mom!

My most favorite is this one below. I love how she is just so happy and that she is laughing at me…maybe she thinks that I am funny?

PS- only 25 days left to schedule your own portrait session!

Told you I would post some specials

2009-04-01T21:46:00.001-07:00

New things!

2009-03-21T23:25:00.000-07:00

I would like to thank Billy for the new logo! If anyone who is reading this wants any kind of lettering done or any kind of logo, let me know so I can give you his contact information...he is the best graphic designer ever! Thanks Billy, I could never tell you how awesome you are and how much I love the logo! I will be using a new watermark (thanks to Billy) this week when I post some pictures so let me know what you think, also, get your purses/wallets out for our business cards coming soon!

More from the homefront

2009-03-03T22:11:00.001-08:00

Don’t you want some of your own cute pictures like this? Not of Rylin :) but of your own kids???

On the homefront :)

2009-03-03T15:27:00.001-08:00

Too cute to not share!

For Real?

2009-02-16T23:15:00.001-08:00

I was so lucky to be able to meet baby Charlie (and his mom and brothers) today. I was so excited to get to these pictures I have some finished already tonight. I have to say that I think I am in love with taking pictures of such cutie little babies! I love the cool rugs and the grand piano that his parents have, there were so many options for pictures I could have stayed there all day. I love that I get to meet new people and help them capture precious moments in their life. Thank You!

Lightroom

2009-02-07T23:38:00.001-08:00

My dad told me about some Plug-ins for Lightroom. I think I am in love. First of all, I am in love with Adobe Lightroom, second, these new plug-ins…what’s next? Thanks dad!

Also, while I am typing this I am remembering something that I have wanted to ask. If you look at this blog, I would love to have you become a follower. Whether I know you or not….help a sister out! Thanks!!

Sweet baby

2009-01-26T22:29:00.001-08:00

This is the newest addition to one of our family friends. She is such a doll and believe it or not she actually was born with eyes this blue. The first time we saw her in the hospital I was so surprised when she opened them up and they were bright, bright blue. Anyways, we tried to get some of the other two kiddos but were unsuccessful. I guess that is what you get when you try to do all of this in your living room with the light from the windows.

It’s a first

2009-01-17T16:07:00.001-08:00

A few weeks ago we had the privilege of taking some pictures at the funeral of one of the greatest men here in the town where we live. He lived here for forever and we are great friends with the family. He had lived a full life and left an awesome legacy behind for his family. We enjoyed the opportunity to do this for them. It was the first Military funeral I had been too and it is a very respectful/emotional way to say goodbye to such a great man.

:: If you look closely you can see me through the guys shooting the guns off...we have to work on that :) ::

Last Chance

2009-01-10T20:58:00.001-08:00

This is a family that we have known for over a year now from church. They are so sweet and we love having them in our ward. They recently were sealed in the Seattle Temple for time and all Eternity, I couldn't be there but Dustin was able to take some pictures there for them. We did the rest of their session at one of my fave places, only to find out that all the concrete (which I LOVE for pictures) is being painted a hideous army green. Yuck. This could be my last excursion there to take pictures, but it sure was a great family to take there! Enjoy!

A little diddy for you

2008-12-29T20:26:00.001-08:00

I put this together today so that I could give something to Dr. Garde (only the greatest doctor in the world who will forever remain my hero for delivering me some healthy babies) at my appointment tomorrow. It kind of makes me want to actually send some out now, we'll see. After all, I am still trying to finish my thank you notes. Anywho, if anyone wants to have us design an announcement or greeting card of the sort then tell me and I would love to! I guess you could say I am expanding my business or something :)

Alas

The last group from our November sessions, the other Soptich family. Dustin's cousin and his wife and two daughters drove all the way here from Seattle. We loved being able to do this for them and their cute girls.

Don't they look like they belong in a catalog or something?

Here are some samplings of some more pictures we took in November for a family. They were so fun an we are glad that we got to meet them.

Once again, some cute nieces and nephews to take pictures of, also some of their mom and dad...Dustin's sister and her husband. Asher was being a little tricky that day so no pictures of him alone. We will try again some day :)

Kendall's first modeling experience

2008-12-08T14:28:00.001-08:00

We actually took these on Thanksgiving, when Kendall was a week old, but I have been kind of busy with other pictures, so am just now getting to them. I can't wait to get some on my wall, and still need to acquire some cute sister shots/new family ones. Who knows if I will get an announcement out or not so consider this one. Kendall Jane. Born on November 20, 2008 at 1:40pm, weighing in at 6 pounds .03 ounces. We love having her in our family she is such a cute little baby.

Thanks to my mom for being a special set of hands for some pictures. And thanks to Kendall for sleeping through it all, and just yawning a few times. Even sleeping with the scratchy tutu on.

3 Cute Boys

2008-11-20T07:07:00.001-08:00

These boys are some of the most handsome little boys. It is weird to think that the two older ones each were one of my sunbeams in primary way back when. Their parents are pretty nice too I guess. The dad is one of Dustin's triathlon buddies and there is already some crazy talk about their plans for this spring. Good luck to them I guess. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed taking these pictures and hope that someday Dustin and I can add a boy to our collection.

Just for Laughs

2008-11-16T21:12:00.001-08:00

I just think this picture is too funny for words.

I took these a while ago and finally am able to get them up on here. We have such cute nieces and nephews all over the place, they are the best to take pictures of. Here are some more for your viewing pleasure.

A few pictures to tease you with...

2008-11-13T09:23:00.001-08:00

We had so much fun last Saturday taking these pictures. The mini-sessions went well. We were so excited when the beautiful sun came out for our afternoon sessions. Thanks again to everyone who came out for them. Especially the ones who braved the rain! Your pictures will be in the mail in a few days. We are really looking forward to this Saturday, it's not to late to email us!

2008-11-10T09:22:00.001-08:00

Baby Abby

2008-10-16T14:45:00.000-07:00

We went to visit Dustin's cousin Tyson a few weeks ago, they have a new baby named Abby and we quickly took a few pictures of her. She is so cute and has some pretty funny faces we weren't able to catch on camera. Here are a couple of the pictures.

Torgesen Family

2008-10-16T14:24:00.000-07:00

The other night we had fun taking pictures of our very good friends the Torgesens. Russ and Dustin are BFF's so we see them all the time and decided to finally take some family pics for them. I am pretty sure their kids are Adorable and pretty funny too.

This black and white one of Camden and Ashlyn shows how funny they are. She kills me with her sassy attitude and gives her brother a run for his money. They will be adding another baby girl to their family in December and we can't wait to meet her!

Jensen Fam

2008-09-20T12:28:00.000-07:00

We did a photoshoot for a family in our ward, the Jensens the other day. They are awesome people with kids who are super photogenic, which makes it easy to take pictures of all of them! Enjoy!

When we were finished this awesome fog bank rolled in so Dustin got a close up of it!

Justin and Amber

2008-09-02T12:55:00.000-07:00

A couple weeks ago we shot our first actual wedding! It was fun to get some practice especially because we knew alot of the people that were there. Amber and Justin were game for anything, even walking through the waves in their wedding garb! It was a beautiful day here, and a gorgeous bride and handsome groom.

One thing hat I learned is how hard it is to pick out the best pictures. These were some of my favorites.

Baby Girl Brown

2008-08-26T10:49:00.000-07:00

Our good friends Josh and Ashley were here for the Summer. They go to school at BYU-Hawaii and are having a baby girl in October. So of course we HAD to take some tummy shots of Ashley since she is so cute prego. This was my first experience to take tummy pictures but I am really happy with how they turned out, and plus it was fun!

This is absolutely my fave picture from the evening! I love the sunset behind her.

Sophia

2008-04-23T20:25:00.001-07:00

Sophia is a crazy 15 month old little girl. I loved taking pictures of her last week. We were going to go to the beach but the weather changed and it was too windy so instead we went to a park. She had fun even though she was so cold, she enjoyed running away from her mom and I until we finally trapped her in the swing. My most favorite picture is the second one. She has the prettiest blue eyes that sparkle even in black and white!

How do you get a 2 year old to hold still?

2008-03-27T08:11:00.000-07:00

My friend Michelle was in town last week visiting her parents. Her boys are absolutely adorable. Cale will be 4 in August and Bryce is 2. Their dad just left for Iraq so our goal was to get some good pictures for him. Cale did good, he looks like a model in almost every picture. Bryce was awesome and his model side would come out when we could actually get him to sit still :). It was fun to play with them and take their pictures. We always joke about the two boys fighting over Rylin when they get older...I think I would be a happy mom if she ever decided she wanted to date one of them...they would have to move closer though :)

The Ray Family

2008-03-26T21:15:00.000-07:00

These crazy people are our friends The Rays. One of the many people that we LOVE around here. Scott helped endlessly build the shop so we paid them back with some pictures. It was extremely bright outside, so there were a few when Will (the one small boy) barely had his eyes open, he was cracking us up. Cute kids, cute family. Thank you again for your help Scott, we will miss you!

Welcome

2008-03-26T10:24:00.001-07:00

Welcome to our new blog. I have recently decided to have my other blog published into a hardcover book from this website. For that reason, I am creating a new blog to post some of the pictures that we have been taking for other people so they won't be on our family blog anymore. I will be playing catch up, so stay tuned. Feel free to call us anytime if you want some pictures taken, we would love the practice! Enjoy!

Thanks, Dustin and Ciera
