Giveaway - One Family Photo Shoot

I've decided to give away one Family Lifestyle photo shoot to a Utah Family! That means, we hang out, I take pictures of your family and then you get a CD with all the best images!! Must be one immediate family. Easy peasy and so much fun!

How to enter:

Follow me on Facebook.

Submit a picture of your family (recent or not, doesn't matter) to aliciastatesphotography (at) gmail.com and a reason why you want ME to take your pictures by midnight on Sunday, November 27.

I will post all of the submissions on Facebook, and then you guys can get your family and friend to vote for you by "liking" your photo. Voting ends Sunday, December 10th. The family with the most "likes" wins!

(Kaua'i friends, I will do another giveaway when I know exactly when I am coming to visit!)

Cram Family

 

Can you say Good Looking Family?!?!  Obviously this family was a breeze to get good shots of! The most difficult part of the shoot was beating the light! Oh and not getting attacked my wild animals… (okay, that last part wasn’t hard at all, but it was distractingly on my  mind!)

This was a little bit of an adventure shoot. I was on alert the whole time,  slightly nervous about all the “natural” sounds we kept hearing.  At one point I heard a charging sounds – my heart skipped a few beats – when I turned and it was human I couldn’t have been more relieved! I guess we found the hot trail for horseback riding, mountain biking, even for riding dirt bikes! I had never been on that trail before so it was a shot in the dark, hoping we would find some picturesque spots. We did. 

And what is up with this weather?! We jumped from Summer to Winter! The trees hadn’t even fully turned and snow fell! I don’t get it. It’s making me crazy! I just want to enjoy Autumn before the long winter hits! Make the most of it, I suppose. Snow shots are gorgeous, too!

Gonzalves Ohana

What a beautiful family!  I am super honored that they flew all the way from Hawai’i out here to Utah just so I could take their family pictures! Just  kidding! Just kidding! =) They sure brought the warmth of Hawai’i with them (and suspiciously, the weather dropped about 20 degrees when they left!) It was an absolute joy to get to know them all a little better and to be around such wonderful people taht remind me so much of what I love and miss about Kaua’i!

I have to mention that my awesome brother came to this shoot with me and was cracking everyone up! His humor is priceless. Thanks, Josh!

Cute Kiddos

4 months old

I can’t get enough of this baby! He is absolutely precious, and easy *knock on wood*. His baby blues are lightening up, and just might turn green like his big brother! He’s a chunky  monkey and I freaking love him!

Smith Family

I freaking adore this family!  It was an absolute pleasure hanging out with them (because, that’s really what it feels like for me) and capturing these priceless moments!  The dang clouds were being fickle, but in the end the lighting was perfect!  Thanks you guys, I had a blast!
