Cutting the Apron Strings

My friend Kris just sent off her only son, only child, on a mission for the LDS church for two years. To say she's missing him is a huge understatement. We took these photos less than two weeks before he left and it's the only family picture they've ever had taken. Criminal, really, to have a family this good looking and not get their picture taken on a regular basis!

I'm not sure if this post will bring a smile to Kris's face, or make her weep like a baby. Better grab the tissue just in case!

Digital Wedding Album- Oakland, CA

I recently completed the album design for another wedding I shot for Camilynne Photography. It was in Oakland and Merced, California. I want to shoot all my February weddings in California! The bride can comfortably wear a short sleeved dress and it's warm enough to take family photos outside.

Amy and Zach were so much fun! I got to do their bridal and engagement photos also and they were always so laid back and up for anything. Amy is a great digital scrapbooker; you can check out some of her work here.

Nothin' like a newborn

I've been out of the loop for awhile, playing catch-up and spending some much needed time with my family. But I'm getting back into the swing of things now.

This is my friend's baby Drew, photographed at 11 days old. It's rare that I get a newborn so wide awake and bright eyed. I had been wanting to try some different posing and a wrap, but I needed him to be asleep for those. It took a lot of eating and rocking, but he finally fell asleep.

Newborns are my favorite!

Digital Wedding Album- Salt Lake Temple & Joseph Smith Memorial Building

Here is another digital album design that I recently completed for Camilynne Photography. Cami was unavailable the day of this wedding, so I was accompanied by Amanda Gregory of Amanda Beth Photography. She did a beautiful job on all of the candid photos.
