Oh Baby!!

This baby is 5 days old today. He's such a cutie with huge cheeks that you just want to pinch!! I got some great shots of him with Mom and Dad today. Here are three from the shoot:

I LOVE this one of Momma and baby. So precious!

And, if you know the Mom at all, you know that I had to take this shot of the baby's feet with their rings on his toes!

I'm not even in this picture and it makes me tear up a little looking at it!

I adore taking pictures of newborns, and I love this cute family. Enjoy!

Another Peek!

I had the chance to take pictures of this beautiful senior today. She's only 17, but already has 2 years of college credit and has plans to go to BYU (a girl after my own heart)!! She also plays violin so I had her bring it for a picture. Shes' such a sweet, polite young woman and it was a pleasure taking pictures of her.

Okay, Three More

Here's three more from the shoot yesterday. Love them!!

Senior Sneak Peek

I took some Senior pictures tonight for my friend and her son. I have several from the shoot that I love but I am limiting myself to editing three for tonight. Here they are:

He's pretty handsome, huh? He is into photography and totally made my job easy. Plus, he was up for anything, and almost gave me a heart attack jumping and flipping on things!

To Mom: I hope you like these three - I'll get the rest done and get them on a disk soon!

My Little 4 Month Old

Oh, I love, love, LOVE this baby!! I love her eyes, I love her smile, I love her voice. I love everything about her - except the fact that she is growing too fast. *sigh*. Here are some of her 4 month pictures.

I like this one in this finish too.

Brave Climber

Last time I was at the Garden of the Gods, I sat and watched this little boy climb. He couldn't have been more than 6 years old. His Dad went up first and sat at the top coaching and cheering his son up. When the boy reached his Dad, his Dad scooped him up and gave him a high five while all of us spectators cheered from below. I like to rock climb and rappel, but this particular spot would have been scary to me at that age (it might be scary to me now). I'm constantly amazed by children - their fearlessness, their determination, their eagerness to please. It goes to show you can do anything you set your mind to.

A Few From Garden of the Gods

Okay, taking pictures of large groups is hard. It's darn near impossible to get a shot where everyone is looking, smiling, has their eyes open, and staying in the position I put them in. That being said, I love watching families interact. This family cracked me up, and I loved their casual up for anything style. Here is just a peek at some of the pictures. I hope you like them.

This one I took in case I need a picture to use for blackmail later!!! =)

Super serious, but super handsome!!

This one just cracks me up!! She was upset about something literally 5 seconds before this picture was snapped. I love how kids go from one extreme to the other.
