Weather or Not...

The weather in Utah has been CRAZY lately. A couple weeks ago I did a family sitting in Springville, Utah, and the weather was everywhere. In the afternoon my family and I were at the carnival and we had to leave because of the down pouring of rain. A couple hours later, when I did this sitting the sun was out and there wasn't even a hint of an overcast day. Then before the evening ended, it was pouring again. With all of the crazy weather I am so glad we went through with the session. The garden location was beautiful, and the family was delightful to work with. I have never seen people cooperate with me so well. Each kid (and adult) did exactly what they were asked. I have a special thanks to E for pulling off the best GQ look! The picture wouldnn't have looked as sharp without it! It was a pleasure to meet everyone in the S family. I look forward to taken the family again, hopefully when it has doubled in size!

PINKALICIOUS

I can't believe my daughter just turned 5! When we talked about her birthday party we came up with the idea to make it based on the book Pinkalicious written by Victoria Kann & Elizabeth Kann. Her birthday was a huge success. We played pin the cherry on the cupcake (we made a poster size of the second picture), the cottonball game, and each kid designed their own Pink bag. (the boys had white). For her family party that night we made a cupcake cake, and it was awesome. Here is my reget... I forgot to take pictures of it! If anybody knows me they know that pink IS NOT my favorite color. I would prefer to see things in blue. So, in ode to my girly girl who loves everything PINK, PINK, PINK, I thought I would change some colors on the blog. I am so proud of my Emilee, and the amazing girl she is. She is the best daughter I could have ever asked for. I feel blessed everday to have her in my life. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PINKALICIOUS!

The Super Posh

Sometimes it is so great how everything comes together. The bride's brother was leaving on a two year mission for his church, and wasn't going to be at his sister's wedding. The one thing T wanted was to be able to have a family picture as though he was there, instead of having a life size picture made up of her brother. I was so excited to take the pictures, and the way everything came together I know T's mom is going to be so thrilled to have all her children "at the wedding." It will be a great surprise! We had such a fun time at the session. Little C kept all of us entertained! My favorite moment was when some onlookers told T how beautiful she looked, and little C says, "What about me?" Between designing his own shots and looking super GQ there was a lot of smiles and giggles from the rest of us. Thanks W family! It was a lot of fun to be with you. T, you are absolutely beautiful! I know M must be so proud and honored to be your soon-to-be hubby!
