Carl and Emily's Engagements / Engagements

Two very good friends of mine were married in the Salt Lake Temple today. And I am so happy for them! I was so happy that I was able to take their Engagement photos. They turned out amazing! We spent the day up in Salt Lake and ended the day with dinner at Red Robin! Such a great day! I hope you live happily ever after, Carl and Emily! You deserve the best!

Treyton & Easton's Christmas Shoot / Babies&Children

I have been wanted to do a shoot like this forever! And I'm so happy I got to try it out on my little boy and my nephew! Oh my goodness was it difficult, with two grumpy babies, not very good lighting and Treyton trying to grab the ornaments. But luckily it worked and they turned out so cute! I even put together some before and afters to show you the difference! Photoshop is a life saver! :)

Cassie Is Pregnant!!! / Maternity

A few weeks ago my friend, Cassie, contacted me saying she was pregnant and no one knows! She says she just needed one photo to surprise her family with. And of course if you know me, I'm not letting you go with just one photo! Cassie had the cutest idea to have pumpkins with her due date on them. So we tried it out and it worked perfectly. I was so thrilled to be let in on their secret and capture this moment for their surprise! Congratulation Cassie and Josh!

Olivia's Cake Smash / Babies&Children

I have never done a cake smash shoot before, but I absolutely loved it! It was so fun and so cute to see how Olivia reacted to her little cupcake! We planned on doing it outside the day before as we took all of her other one year old photos, but it started to get dark and cold. And she was most definitely done getting her pictures taken for the day. So I had gone over to her house and tried it inside for a different change of scenery! And I must say for using a white sheet and streamers for the background I think it turned out super cute! Especially for me never having done one before! But I loved it and can't wait to do it again! 

Olivia Is Turning ONE!!! / Babies&Children

On Friday, November 8th sweet little Olivia will be turning ONE!!!!! I was so excited to photograph her one year old photos! I also had photographed her 8 month old pictures. Olivia is so cute, she makes my job so easy! She has the cutest smile, I loved capturing it on camera for the world to see! Sadly the poor little girl has broken her arm and is in a cast for her first birthday but she does not let that stop her!

Krew's Halloween Shoot / Babies&Children

I cannot believe I didn't post Krew's Halloween Shoot before Halloween! Ugh! I am such a slacker, don't judge! ;) Well anyways I love this little boy he is such a freaking cutie!!!! Even when he is grumpy! It was a little chilly for the little guy, but we hurried and he did awesome! And of course, they turned out awesome!

And of course we had to get a cousin shot. What studs they are! They could be brothers, I can't believe how much they look alike!

What Are You Giving Out For Halloween? / Ideas

Okay so this isn't one of my Photography Shoots, but my sister came to me and was telling me about what she wanted to do for my brother in-laws class for Halloween. He is a third grade teacher and she found an awesome idea on Pinterest! Everyone does candy and it can be a mess! Especially if you are the teacher, teaching third graders, giving them candy, and having to clean up after them! 

They had a link to print out your own labels to put on the glow sticks but my sister didn't want to use a lot of ink. And I thought it looked kind of lame. So we made our own! What a great way to help keep the little ones safe as they are walking the streets at night. Crack those glow sticks so others can see you as they drive by!

A BIT OF LIGHT ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT!

STAY SAFE EVERYONE!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Brad & Persephonie / Family

Oh my goodness I love this time of year! The fall is so dang pretty! I loved photographing these two it was so fun but so cold!!! I felt so bad for Persephonie she was freezing!!! But she stuck it out and their photos turned out gorgeous!
