Fallon Family, Utah Family Photography

 

What a fun family! It was so refreshing to have a session with a family that was so easy to work with (mind you, I'm used to chasing 3 little boys around all day so anytime I get a break from that, I enjoy it while I can!).

What made it so easy?

Well, they were making each other laugh the whole time! I won't go into detail but it was per-i-tty funny (just trust me)! Plus they've got the bluest eyes and really great smiles!! Not to mention the natural way they interact... it was easy to get great shots.

I am super pleased with the images we got, and feel honored that I was able to be their photographer!

Hot Hot HOT Springs...

Like, these springs would boil you alive! (Too graphic? Sorry.)

But dang are they stunning! The colors were absolutely breathtaking (and not just because of the muggy steam the springs were producing... which was kind of nasty sometimes.)

A lot of the springs at Yellowstone National Park were intimidating, actually. It made me nervous to think of all the damage it would cause if someone got careless (maybe that's just the paranoid mama side of me).

However, I'm so glad we took the detour to see them! Wow. Wow. Wow!

Big Choices & Beautiful Children

 

Remember back in December when I did the giveaway for a a free photo shoot?! Well, the Orr Family won it and here you see their darling children. They decided not to do family photos and instead wanted pictures of their Emily & Kieten! Totally worked for me!

Sweet Emily has decided to be baptized in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and by the time this posts, she will have been! Her mom wanted some pictures of Emily for her baptism announcements and she even made that dress! (If you could actually see me, you would notice I'm a little green with envy... both because I wish I had that talent and I wish I had that DRESS!!! It's amazing!)

What a beautiful young girl she is growing into! It was so much fun to watch her twirl and giggle and get her perfectly styled hair a little messy (mostly it was wind blown, it happened to be one of those days, of course), but her faithful example shined in every one of her pictures! She is a doll.

And I think Kieten's images say it all. What. A. Stud! That momma has her hands full with such gorgeous kids!

Precious Eternity

My aunt was sealed in the LDS Temple to her husband and their son in July and wanted some pictures for the very special occasion.

It was a fun, easy going photo shoot at a beautiful park and what a beautiful time of year! Everything was so green and they are so happy it just radiates throughout all of their images!

AAAHHH I just love this family!

Can I PLEASE....

Can I PLEASE just go back and dive into that water and soak up the sun and watch my boys have the time of their lives?!?! Just for a day at least... (but preferably much, much longer!)

A lot of catching up to do...

I admit it, I have been neglecting this blog.

Actually, I have been neglecting all of my blogs.

I have many images to share, so be patient with me. I'm not going to post them all at once (your welcome). So in an effort to stay slightly organized around here, I will set up a series of posts to share throughout the next week or two... some are organized photo sessions, but most of them will be my favorite images of the summer. I am trying to branch out like that. We'll see how it goes.

We went to Kaua'i for 6 weeks back in May/June. It was heavenly (as it should be). My dad owns SNUBA Tours of Kaua'i, so of course we had to play with the fishies! This is my 5 year old. He was getting in touch with his "roots" while we were there (check out that shakka!).
