Bachelor 1, Bachelor 2, & Bacelor 3

Whenever I am at a family party or some social event, and I meet someone new and single, I automatically start playing matchmaker. I will turn to Adam and say, "Don't you think so and so would be great with so and so," and he just laughs, and says that they are old enough to set themselves up. Well, as true as that may be, I think I have just found a new way of matchmaking! Although one of these fine looking young men is unavailable for a couple of years, the other two are up for grabs and I am pretty sure after how fantastic they look in these photos they wont stay single for long! On a more serious note, it was a blast to take their pictures after we had done their big family picture. They are great guys, and I loved taking their individual pictures. It was fun to do something different.

Terrible Twos?

Okay, so I know I mentioned this in an earlier blog, but really there was nothing terrible about this two year old! He was so fun to take pictures of. I was also so appreciative of the uncles behind me who were trying everything to make him smile. (The water effect in the air was a great tool) The P family has a special place in my heart because they were my very first wedding as a professional photographer. Wow things have come a long way. I can't believe that was almost 5 years ago! What a beautiful family the three of them are! We are all excited for your little girl on the way! Congratulations!

De Ja Vu, but Better!

I was so excited to take this family's picture again. I was a little apprehensive, because at first they said they wanted the exact same picture. My thought to myself had been how I still wanted to challenge myself to give them a better picture than two years ago. After we were done, I have to say I was so excited about the outcome. I love how together the family looks, and all of the children were so wonderful. Although the two year old in the picture was the best. I have never had a two who could listen, and hold so still for the entire sitting. He is amazing! Thank you H Fam for the opportunity to be apart of your family. We also took breakdowns of the boys, and the P family so watch for those posts as well!

Back to Utah

Could the R family look any more divine? Little K is so adorable! I wish my rolls looked just as cute as hers!
With my children, I had one who was really skinny, and then the other was solid, so I am a little jealous of K's pinchable cheeks. She was such a trooper the day of her session. For being 10 weeks old, I thought we might struggle to get her to do what we wanted, but she was awake at the right moments, smiled perfectly, and even her Dad got to feel her warmth (ha ha) Thank you again R family. You guys are wonderful and we are looking forward to seeing lots more of you!

Wishing I was still There!

Welcome to the Cook Photography Blog! When my website went live in February, I was thrilled. Then I found that more people wanted to see a blog, so here it is! I really am so grateful to everyone who makes Cook Photography possible. Thank you for all your love and support. I appreciate the skill and talent I have been given, but I recognize I wouldn't get far without your wonderful families, and beautiful children.

I have so many things I could say about these pictures. I have never had the opportunity to take pictures at the beach as a professional photographer, and I don't think we could have asked for a better setting. The sunset was wonderful and dreamy. The couple is one of the most romantic couples I have ever met. Not only are they beautiful, but I know what amazing people they are. Yes, she is my sister, so I am a little biased, but my children adore her new husband so I can't be too far off base. You both are amazing. Thanks for letting me share in such a wonderful memory. I love you both!
