Jane & Glen

Dreams do come true! My aunt was able to find her true love, even if it took decades of searching!  This day was perfect it was cloudy, but not rainy.  The bride was as smiley as I have ever seen and the groom was great!  Enjoy the journey you two -- you're off to a great start!

Phelps Family

I'm way behind on my photo blogging. So I'll start with my latest and go from there.  The Phelps Family. What can I say about them… Well they take really good pictures-- I should know they took mine ;)  O and they look good in pictures too. Their two girls are as different as different can be but both as sweet as lemon pie from mama's kitchen. The sitting went well until Sherrae reminded me it was her girls bedtime-- Holly Cow they were crazy about that time. So we shot a few funny ones for the books and wisked them home to bed.  Come back again Phelps-- You're the greatest!

Ruganis

This shoot turned out great. The weather was threatening rain (again).  But the rain did not come.  The kids were easy to pose and really cute with each other. And the parents… they were pretty well behaved too ;)  We did this shoot at Memory Grove. I don't use a lot of sepia in my editing but this family seemed to scream sepia-- so enjoy!

The Willey's

I give this family an A++ on their sitting. Getting lots of kids to smile at the exact same time is not easy... but they were prepared. If you looked closely you'd see skittles being passed out for good behavior. Now I am not a proponent of bribing kids unless it is an emergency.  And family pictures are an Emergency ;)  This shoot was downtown Ogden in a trucking yard-- that by the way gets so many people wanting to take pictures there they charge $25. The weather was beautiful and the company was excellent. The Willey's are dear friends of mine.  We're sooo close I sometimes tell people that I got my good looks from them.  We've been neighbors since the beginning of time. I love you guys!!!

TJ

                   

On top of the world and just about to graduate. Being a senior is like being a newborn. They have so much in front of them-- no real mistakes yet (hopefully ;).  They can be anything! I loved taking TJ pictures. He is one good looking guy and easy to get along with. We took the pictures at the train station in Ogden on a saturday afternoon and within minutes of finishing up the sitting the rain started to pour. The earlier clouds provided great lighting, so I couldn't have asked for better weather. 

The Park Family

 So first of all these kids deserve an audible round of applause… the toughest pictures to take are small toddlers with a newborn. Think about it. Who holds the newborn and the kid holding the newborn is so small he/she gets hidden behind the baby.  The little guys did wonderful! The two younger boys are twins and they pulled some of the cutest expressions -- while waiting for the rest of the group to get organized. The baby is of course our main subject in the photo shoot. Amelia is so precious and was always ready to smile when asked. The parents even got in on the shoot at the end and they turned out to be just as photogenic as their kids. Way to go Park family. O interesting fact I learned from mom in this sitting: babies will grab their feet at four months old-- so this is the best month for those kind of shots.
