Christmas Children

I still have a few photo shoots to post to catch up on this blog, but I had to post these cuz well, they're my kids and I think they are so darn cute!! :)

She was dancing...

2 years old

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. That's what happens I guess when you get pregnant and totally lack energy and then have a baby and suddenly don't have time just for yourself. :) I did take Claire's two year pictures though, using a backdrop that Scott and I put together ourselves. I had grandma and daddy making her smile behind me and we had some fun and I got some cute pictures before she was ready to be done and wanting to move on to something else, like most two year olds. :)

 and our favorite...

Hiatt Family

I took these a while ago, but I've been so busy lately and our computer was getting slower and slower so I put off working on and posting them. We got a new laptop with our tax refund though and it's amazing how much faster and easier it is now to use photoshop, so I'm finally getting around to these. :) My sister and her family came to visit after Christmas and I got to take pictures of them all again. It was fun, although I miss summer and warm weather so much! It's hard to come up with places to take pictures inside and I'm still working on getting the right lighting inside, but it was still good practice and so much fun! :)

Christmas is Coming

I thought I'd just show one of these pictures from a little photoshoot I did yesterday with Claire. I'm still working on the rest of them but hopefully I'll finish them in time for Christmas cards. :)

Lia and Ryan and their beautiful girls

My sister wanted some fall family photos so we drove up Payson canyon and found some beautiful fall colors! I've taken pictures of my nieces before, but I loved getting the chance to take pictures of their whole family. They are a beautiful family. It was so much fun. :)

Charlotte

I loved how this photoshoot turned out! I had a lot of favorites that I just had to post! My friend wanted some pictures of her little girl who recently turned 18 months. We went to the Utah State Hospital which had a beautiful orchard and a cute fountain, and so we had a blast taking photos of this cute little girl. :)

Jake, Katie and Leah

This month my friends let me practice on them and I was able to take some family photos for them. They also wanted some more recent pictures of their little girl so I had fun chasing another little one year old around. :) I had a lot of fun with this photoshoot and we went to two new locations that made them even more fun and different for me. Here are a few of my favorites! :)

Claire's One Year Old Photos

We took Claire's one year old photos last week. With her walking around everywhere, she definitely makes it more challenging to take pictures. I love how she has her hands up to balance herself in almost all of these. :)

Cake Smash

Claire's turning one in less than two weeks and so we thought it'd be cute to take cake smash pictures before her birthday so we could use them for her birthday invitations. The cake was still a little cold from being in the fridge, so I don't think she wanted to get her hands too into it. Next time I'll need to remember to take it out earlier. :)

I Heart Faces- Lets Hear It For The Boys

In honor of Father's Day, this week's challenge is for them. We went to the Splash Pad a couple weeks ago. I loved seeing him with her, they both had so much fun, can't wait for more times like these!

Can You Tell?

My friend asked me to take their family pictures for them a while ago and last week I was able to do them. It was a lot of fun and like all my photoshoots, I learned tons! Her little girl turned one that day so we made sure to get a bunch of pictures of her. She is such a cutie. :) When taking family photos it's still difficult for me to get one of everybody looking and smiling. Sometimes I think you just have to swap heads around... can you tell which head I swapped in the bottom family photo? :)
