family photography ~ wintertime

2011-12-05T20:24:00.000-08:00

It is good to have an end to journey towards;

but it is the journey that matters in the end...

I knew from the moment I met this family I would like them.

Jill is an absolute sweetheart and I can't wait to have another family adventure next year ~

hopefully when it is warm and green?

What a fun and silly time we had out in the fields of deer, dirt roads, and weedy ditches~

I loved every minute~

I am so lucky to have this adorable family in my life. Their sweet (and rowdy) family

I love it when it is picture time again with this troop...and this year was a real treat -- snow!

Thank you Mollie & Josh ~

I loved every minute!

There are no little things.

"Little things"

so called, are the hinges of the universe.

This sweet little one is not only divinely beautiful, she has a wonderfully fun personality

she is *spunky* fun. And smiling only when she wants to~

Her sweet Mum and family (even little pup, Chester) are such happy and loving people,

I always enjoy the time spent with them~

They make me smile.

Especially good fun on a night like tonight -- when all the world is bathed in a golden glow,

the little things (little ones) mean so much. I adore you all!

I love freelance work, especially if it entails a theme and am allowed some creative leeway.

A beautiful couple

I was asked to do the photos of the groomsmen for the afternoon before the ceremony.

Yes~

I loved working with these groomsmen. I have known them for years & have watched them grow into handsome and God loving men. I felt so privileged.

Not only they are great sports (very silly),

but creative, great smiles, and very handsome~

and serious hearts for God~

And still little boys at heart~

~ Mr. Groom ~

And the sweet couple ~ Gabe and Flic.

I love every minute and hope you love your photos as much as I do~

little shop photography~ at Company B

2011-01-26T19:54:00.000-08:00

I adore the challenge of working with clients on their new shops.

I love the projects that they envision and are excited about.

This photo shoot was just like that~

Bridget is always *pure joy* to work with, her shop is

such a delightful mix of natural materials~

clays, jute strings, burlap, and handpainted words.

We tried to mix it up and have variety, you can see her store here.

These photos are some of my favorites from our frosty afternoon shoot~

I just love it all~

I am working on ideas all the time for freelance work. Call me for a quote~

(as always, more photos of this shoot in the gallery, here)

A grandfather is someone with silver in his hair

and gold in his heart.

-author unknown

We of course were having a delightful time with all these wiggly boys and wee little babe
until the boys got a bit too rowdy. Even Great-Grandpa was a bit impish. Oh, boys!

Thankfully we still had photos of Great-Grandma and sweet little Teyah. So blissful~

When I asked how long they had been married, the answer was quick on the tongue~ 65 years.

"Yes, 65 years with the same woman is a long time..." He said. Then they both grinned.

What a beautiful couple.

Such a pleasure and wonderful blessing to be invited into your home for photos.

I enjoyed every minute~

as always...the rest of your photos are in your client gallery~

2011-01-05T10:33:00.000-08:00

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite,

something that makes one feel aware of God,

one need not go far to find it.

I think that I see something deeper, more infinite,

more eternal than the ocean

in the expression of the eyes of a little baby

when it wakes in the morning

and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.

Vincent van Gogh

So much love for this little bit of heaven~

Love to you both (and can hardly wait for the tutu!),

tiny one photography ~ a blessed boy

It is not a slight thing when those so fresh from God love us.
-- Dickens

Looking at the serene images you would have a hard time imagining

the antics that went into this morning photo-shoot.

It was some seriously silly-fun.

I think I love this little boy...

tiny one photography ~ little sugar plum ~

2010-12-14T19:18:00.000-08:00

I have decided that I really do like babies...

I really do...

As lucky as I am to be able to have a couple of hours with this beautiful Mum and baby,

we also got Mr. Dad in the mix as well. Yes!

He was such a good sport to fetch, lift, hold, and be the main prop in almost all of the pictures.

I just couldn't stand how amazing those big Daddy hands are against that tiny little baby girl?!

Oh, precious~

Isn't she the sweetest little sugar plum?

A tiny babe~ this was her real birthday (she came a month early)

and I think she was hoping for something more exciting for her special day?

And when we had our fill of sweet newborn baby...we got to play a bit of dress up.

Meet the little peony princess~

I had the best afternoon with you three~ definitely a photo shoot I won't soon forget!

(As always, your photos are in the client galleries)

Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks,

breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.

- Mary Lou Cook

A daily dose of *this kind of fun* is just what I need. Thank you friends for letting me

be a part of your creative dreams and to put them on film, too.

I hope & pray for all good things in your new artistic adventures!

I really love to help others in pursuing their dreams.

If you need photography help with an online shop you are putting together, let me know.

It's down to the last week of pregnancy...

If you had one of these...

and you were an adorable couple...in love...

Wouldn't you want another one, too? :o)

Such an adorable family to photograph.

Thinking, hoping, and praying for you this week Mollie.

With all those boy men, you need it~

Utah family portraiture & candids ~ the Miller family

2010-12-05T14:27:00.002-08:00

Oh, boys...

The joy of boys and family pictures ~ they are either silly-laughing or absolutely not going to smile.

It was a bit of a challenge to figure these two out, but with the trucks on my kitchen floor

and the dangling carrot of a happy meal...eventually we got some great shots.

I still laugh looking at them ~ what a fun afternoon.

This little one is really *that little* ~ teenie.

She was so good and I hope to have her back this week for more pictures.

Such a beauty (and a girl, too!), what fun for me in my all boy house. Lucky me~

Even after all the crazy things I put them through...these little guys did great.

And for my favorite photo of the day~

What a sweet & adorable family.

Thank you Millers~

I love your family and your little ones are so fun/gorgeous/silly/adorable~

Let's do this again?

A dream day for a photographer...

A beautiful Mum that is obviously full of happy goodness.

Quiet afternoon~ perfect for a girl's outing.

Sweet old barns and pioneer homes.

Crunchy yellow leaves and some wandering sheep.

And a happy home full of silly-fun boys to come home to...

The serious looks come with so many giggles. I am terrible at keeping a straight face...sorry!

Look at the fun we were met with when we got back. Yes! I do love boys, I do.

I am so lucky to share this special time with you. Thanks Mollie!

((Look for all the photos in the gallery link))

There are times when *every good thing* comes together for a photographer. It happens frequently when you are well prepared and have a happy heart, but it mainly depends a great deal on light ~

Everything a photographer does is dependent on this beautiful, transparent, ethereal, always changing wave of light. I see it is God's divine touch, His ever present sparkle in a child's eye and the warm glow in the fall leaves. I can be so strong at times you have to diffuse it ~ or like this night you just watch it lightly hit each face with a soft touch. I love it.

You can see it in this little ones eyes...and perhaps a bit of mischief as well? :o)

A beautiful family inside and out. I love this Mum and her little boys. I love the out-takes as well as the pictures, they definitely tell the greater story? There is a lot to do to keep little boys cleaned up when the photographer has them out in the bushes, the barns, rusty trucks, and dirt paths! Great job Mum!

These boys were great. The real smiles showed up when I finally (accidentally) fell over the little ones bike. I need to keep that in mind for other photo-shoots. Bodily harm to the photographer = great smiles.

Thanks for letting me share ~ you have such a gorgeous family! More of these boys are in my slide show (above).

Much love,

Utah freelance photographer ~ a real sweetheart

2010-11-13T14:05:00.000-08:00

A great assignment... photos for a friend's Etsy shop. I don't know who had more fun~ the artist, the model, or the photographer. It was a freezing day for outside shots, my fingers froze together...but we got some really fun images... What a wild hair day~ I could do this every Friday.

Thanks sweetie for all the smiles! You are a spirit filled girl and it shows...

little Lilly ~ {little one} candids & portraits

2010-11-10T15:57:00.000-08:00

I adore this little one. She is a favorite of mine and you can see why~

And she has two handsome brothers...who were a bit wiggly.

I am calendaring for the next couple weeks~

Contact me for details, I have some great ideas for the holidays!

Love you little Lilly~

One of the highlights of what I do ~ in Photography ~ is sharing it with friends. I think it is one the best ways to spend my working hours. I love meeting new people, spending time with friends/family, and I especially adore working with a local photographer & great friend, Mitz.

When it comes to new ideas, places, and creative adventures we like to team up. This weekend I helped her on her photo-shoot with our local Pastor and his adorable family. So much fun!

Even though my job was mainly to help with lighting issues (too muches & too littles), locating helpful "shot-spots", & providing silly-baby-maneuvers (all the silly things you have to do to try to get a little baby to smile), I did sneak in a couple pics of my own.

How cute are these babes?

I have been thinking about this so much...and it is so important in whatever creative path you choose~

share *abundant love* in your dealings with others

always be willing to help others on their own creative journeys

take time to laugh, play, and giggle in your work

happy moments happen often ~ when our eyes & hearts are open to see them

& always be ready for the adventures when they call~

The most darling family, a gorgeous night, and so much fun to giggle with all those girls...

A very blessed event indeed ~

Thank you for letting me be a part of your fun adventure Mitz!

Utah senior photographer ~ for you sweet girl!

2010-11-06T14:19:00.001-07:00

I couldn't ask for a more fun afternoon.
Great friends, a beautiful autumn day, and the sparkling eyes of this sweetheart of a girl.

Loved every minute!

Currently shooting around three days this week...weather is coming!

Contact me for dates/times. I spend 1.5-2 hours shooting, giving you 30-40
beautiful, high resolution photos to choose from (and a great social media file, too).

I promise...it will be fun!
