The MIddle of Nowhere...

Yes folks, I live in the middle of nowhere...and I love it! It's true, there is no Target, Kohl's or even a Wal-mart in my town (I know...how do we function?) but I think that is okay.

While I was driving today I was longing to go sledding out here (see below). But then I remembered that it is below freezing outside! So instead, I opted to take a few quick pictures from the warmth of my vehicle. Yes, I did not even get out of the car to take these...I'm not sure what that means, except that I am still warm! Enjoy and have a happy and safe New Year's!!

So Much Fun!

Okay, so I just have to say I LOVE the outfits this family chose...LOVE! Don't they look outstanding! And how cute is this little boy? Darling! Really folks, do you feel they came right out of a magazine? I loved working with this family and I have hardly been able to wait to show you their session. :)

With Christmas over I am excited to share this session with you! When thses two darling little girls got off the elevator with their cute little dresses I almost melted. So cute!

Christmas on the Square

Last week I went to see the lights on Temple Square. This is an annual tradition for me, and somehow, it just makes it feel more like Christmas. It is so beautiful to me! If you are around these parts and get a chance, I recommend stopping by.

Merry Christmas!

From my house to yours!

What I'm Working On

Remember Fall?

Do you remember Fall with all this snow? Sigh...my heart wishes we could've had a few more weeks. Here are some pictures from a recent family session when the leaves were beautiful! What a fun family!

Evolution of a Portrait

Do you remember this picture?



How many attempts do you think it takes to get that perfect portrait? Well, let me just tell you folks...it takes more than one!! On any given shoot I will take literally hundreds of pictures. I thought I would show you all the evolution of a portrait.




Until finally you capture the first shot. At any rate, here are a few more of this beautiful family! LOVE THEM!





Now I know you are going to be tempted to think I somehow photoshopped their beautiful blue eyes. I assure you I did not do one thing to their eyes. They are the real deal folks!

Happy Thanksgiving

Did you happen to see the sky tonight? It was amazing! Loving the sunsets lately! However, when I saw it I was on my way home from the Thanksgiving day festivities. I snapped this first one quickly on my way to the car...trying not to get left! The next two were actually taken from inside the car. Hey...you can only do what you can do!

I am thankful for so many things, and one of them is the beauty that is all around me. Sometimes I drive home and I am awed by this beautiful world in which we live. I am filled with gratitude today.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!





Here are the car shots...

Cute and Cold!

It was a cold day, but how cute is this family?!! Adorable!

The Last of Fall

Winter?

I am sad to see fall go. For some reason, this year, I am not looking forward to the snow. I wish Fall could stay just a bit longer. Today I was out enjoying the last little bit of Fall...playing in the leaves. Sigh. I will miss you Fall! Here is one from today.

C Family

I am excited to finally share these with you. What a gorgeous family!!
