Porter Jacob

So remember when I posted here about my best friend getting married? Well now she has a sweet baby boy! Porter Jacob Nelson was born December 8th 2011! He's such a sweet baby and it's been so fun to see Ashley so easily fit the role of being his mother. I got the opportunity to go and take his pictures today (1 month old!) and had a lot of fun doing it, Ashley made the cute little hammock you'll see in some of the pictures, as well as the cute little hat he was wearing. :) Thanks for letting me take these Ashley & Jacob!

McKayla's Senior pictures

I had the chance to take McKayla's senior pictures yesterday and had so much fun doing it! She made my job so easy, she's so photogenic! I had a hard time picking out which ones to post on here cause I had so many pictures, so sorry if it's a picture overload! :P Thanks for an awesome time McKayla!

Black and White

I recently just finished taking a black and white film photography class at UVU this semester, it was an awesome learning experience. My husband would tell you that I most definitely didn't wanna do it at the beginning of the semester, it seemed like something hard and I didn't think I'd have the guts to pull it off-thankfully he was patient and encouraging and I did stick with the class and I'm so glad I did! I learned so much about photography and loved shooting in film. There's nothing quite like the look of black and white film. Since the class has been over I've been playing with my digital camera and using it's black and white settings, here's a few that I've taken just for fun. I'll get my actual film prints scanned on here soon and show you my work from this last semester!

Dalan's Senior Pictures

I was lucky enough to be able to take my little brother's senior pictures yesterday-I can't believe he's graduating soon! I had a lot of fun taking these pictures, Dalan's a stinker when it comes to wanting to smile for the camera so to get him to smile took some dancing and some really lame jokes on my part, but what worked the best was him making fun of my silly jokes and cracking his own, which in turn made him laugh at himself. He thought he was so funny :P It worked though and I got some great pictures of my little bro. I'm so proud of the man he's becoming and am grateful for the chance I had to take them!

p.s. thanks to my other brother, Nathan, for being my trusty assistant ;)

Asay Family

So to be honest, I was quite nervous about this session...why you may ask? It was of a group of 19 people and I hadn't taken pictures of that many people since I worked at the portrait studio, so it'd been awhile! Turns out though I shouldn't have worried, taking these pictures was a lot of fun! Everyone was such good sports, especially since it was quite cold outside. The Asay family has been friends with my family for awhile and I'm glad they trusted me to take their family pictures-I hope you guys enjoy!

A lil' behind...

...on blogging my photoshoots! I'm a slacker, I know. I have more to add on here but I'll start with this one of the Miller Family, if you remember before ( or even scroll down just a bit ) you'll recall this little cutie:

Except for now, she's a year old! We were able to use up the last pretty day of fall this last Saturday and get some shots of this cute family-Emmaleah makes being a photographer soo easy-she's so smiley! Enjoy, and thanks again Miller Family for the fun, I hope you like them!

Emmaleah

I got the opportunity to take pictures of this cutie! Her mom, Lindsey, and I have been friends since high school-it's been fun to see her as a mother and watch Emmaleah grow. Emmaleah was so smiley the whole time which made it super easy to get such fun pictures. Thanks guys for such a fun time! :D

How cute is she?

^^annnd my personal favorite :D
