It's the goofball brothers!

Yep. We'll admit it. They're ours. I was playing around with backdrops and lighting yesterday and needed models. Do you know how many gumballs I had to give them just to get them to sit on the stool in their pajamas? ALOT. 

This is Jared. He is such a silly little guy. He has this new shifty eye look he gives us that cracks us up every time. 

And this is Ashton. He learns from the best.

We love these little goofs so much. Don't know how we'd live without 'em.

 So, we're experimenting with the world of studio photography using natural light. What do you think so far? 

Zach.and his parents too.

Holy cow this kid has so many expressions! He really kept his parents on their toes during the session!

I love photographing new little families. It's so exciting.

Thanks for a great half hour guys! Your gallery is almost ready:)

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~Irving Washington

This is my sister's beautiful family. She is a single Mom (any takers?) to 3 energetic boys, and I know for a fact that's not easy. She amazes me.

These boys are so sweet, even though I doubt that's their favorite term to be called , they really are. I haven't had the opportunity to spend very much time with them during their lives so far, but that is changing. I learned a couple of things from the shoot..namely..

#1 kisses from aunts aren't THAT bad

and #2 girls DONT have cooties

Who would have known?

I am so late posting these!! I was burning his mommy a disk tonight and realized I hadn't blogged these yet. Sorry Jess..I'm slacking in my frienderly duties! This was so much fun!! This little guy is so funny..I love the squishy face laugh he was doing and how he DID NOT want to take his attention from the excitement going on on the ground (cigarette butts, leaves, rocks LOL) Next visit we shall do this again-and I will be quicker about getting the pics to you!! XOXO

Last month I took pictures for my sister-in-law's extended family. What cute kids!! Here are the headshots from the session :)

I was honored to spend Saturday afternoon with Jayme Sayes of Jayme Kanani Photography. I learned so much! I hope maybe she was able to learn something new from me, probably not much, but I enjoyed hanging out and I feel like I've gained a friend. These two little monkeys were our models. They are my husband's nephews, and they behaved so well. I think most of the time they were incredibly BORED but we didn't hear any complaints! Jayme helped me with my exposure, reminded me about some common photography "rules" that I have lost sight of, and took me down to the "dungeon" for some photoshop tricks. It is so refreshing to have my passion for photography revived and what a good feeling to be moving forward again! Thank you so much Jayme, you are priceless!! XO

And thank you Michael and Jayzon for being such CUTE good sports!

Ok so I hope his Mom doesn't mind, but I just had to put these pictures up here! I took these at a BBQ shindig thing down here in Santaquin where I live (and yes it is growing on me!!)

This little man is so stinkin cute!! He had to approve of each picture before he would let me take more! I used these to try out a sweet new TRA recipe...drop me a line if ya want the secret ingredients!! LOL What's funny about this is with my old camera, I got a TON of noise in my pictures. My new camera is TONS better about that, but I actually ADDED the grain to these pictures. Gives them some texture. What d'ya'll think?!?

This was so much fun! I love this little family! I made some new friends. It was cold that evening and had just finished raining but those little troopers didn't give one complaint! They were so easy to photograph and so cute and sweet, and I'm not sure, but I think Alexander made a date with me for Tuesday @ 3:00!

(This isn't the family I am talking about, these are just chickies.)

"EUW!!!! Mommy and Daddy are doing WHAT?!?"

and then the chickies climbed into my shirt to get warm...My girl Harmonie took this picture, she is really good.

Thanks Davidson family! You guys rock!
