Lillie's Baptism

My best friend Amy has a daughter named Lillie who got baptized back in May.  We drove down for the baptism and I got to take some pictures for them.  I think they turned out really nice.  She is a beautiful girl!

Enjoy!

February Photo Challenge

My sister started a February Photo challenge she found on line and so I decided to do it with her.  Here is what I got so far.

Day One

The first photo of the day was "View"  We went to a dance that night and well, my husband doesn't dance so I ended up sitting next to him the whole time.  : )   SOOOO this was my view.

It was taken with my cell phone and obviously it was a horrible picture.

Day Two was "Words"  It so happened to be Kayla's birthday party and it was a Hello Kitty party.  So my words for the day are

Next day was "Hands"  And I have two pictures.  Kayla actually took them both and I couldn't resist using them.  One is of Tyler giving a peace sign.

Second is a picture she accidentally took of her hand over the lens 

HAHA  That is the palm of her hand and then her two fingers.

The next day was "A Stranger"  This is the dumb cat who lives next door who is always in our yard and on our wall.

The next day was "10:00 am"  I was working out that day so here is my picture

Normally my cell phone pictures aren't so blurry.  I'm not sure why the quality is so awful.  I'll have to figure it out and fix it later.

Next day was "dinner"  which I took with my other camera so I'll post later.  The next day was "Button" which my friend and I went antique shopping and found a bunch of antique buttons.

And lastly, was "Sun"  We had an overcast, really cold day.  It actually snowed on us for a minute.  So this was the best I could do with SUN

Today is a new day but I'm going to have to look up what the theme today is.  Hopefully I can get my cell phone pictures looking better.  Crossing my fingers 

Sheeeesh

Man has it been a LONG time since I posted pictures on here.  It is not that I stopped taking pictures, but I just have had little time to post them.  Life has been busy this last year.  We bought a house and moved, my son started kindergarten and then went on to first grade.  My daughter started dance lessons and my son started taking karate and I picked up a new hobby that has taken over my life!  I really need to be better at trying to make time for blogging though.  So here are a few pictures just to start myself out.

We had a October mini session again in the same location as last time.  We had a good turn out this year and after the chaos that was last year, we knew had to run it much better this time!  :)  It went very well

These boys were all smiles and pretty much every picture of them that I took was so cute!  I have more families I did but I'll have to wait for another day!  Hopefully not another year from now.  ;)

Family Session

While I was in St. George Utah I got to do a family session for someone I know from church.  She is also a photographer and had taken our family pictures the week before.  It was nice to trade services and not pay! WOO HOO  haha  Also I just love taking pictures and haven't had many chances since moving to do so.  We took these at the tabernacle.  The colors in the trees were beautiful.

St. George Temple

I had the pleasure of being in St. George Utah during the week of Thanksgiving. It was GORGEOUS there!  The leaves on the trees were gorgeous colors and the leaves falling were breath taking.  After we all ate dinner on Thanksgiving day, I snuck out for a half an hour to go to the temple and take pictures.  My parents live 2 blocks from it.  I thought there would be no one there but apparently everyone thought it would be a good idea to walk off thanksgiving dinner on the temple grounds.  So I had a hard time getting some of the pictures I wanted but I did get some good ones. Take a look.

Halloween Photo Shoot Part 2

I have know Jason since I was probably about 6 or so.  Maybe I knew him even before that, I'm not really sure.  Him and his wife came down so we could do picture's of their kids.  The baby wasn't feeling well and I was already taking someone's picture when they got there so they had to wait.  By the time I tried taking theirs the baby wasn't having it.  Big brother on the other hand let me take TONS of him.  It was great taking pictures of him because he seemed to love it and he would actually stay pretty still while I took them.  BONUS

I love how intense you looks showing me his muscles!  haha

And a couple of group shots with my kids

Don't you just love that any time you tell kids to make a silly face they all stick their tongues out?!  Gotta love it
