I’ve known Carley since we were single digits! I used to photograph her occasionally when I needed a model at school, but since everyone grows up at some point (and I moved) I don’t get to see her as often as I would like.  The stars aligned though and I was able to shoot some bride/groom pictures when we were both in Utah.
Congratulations Carley and Matt! Love you!
Rowe belongs to one of my old roommates from school! We lived together about 6 years ago and now she has this chubby little monkey to call her own. We got together so I could use some of my new little boy baby props on him (the hat, ties, and some other things not shown). I just love how this little tie looks on him.
To keep the hat on long enough for a few shots (the boy hates hats) we had to distract him with bubbles and puppets and singing. Michelle did a great job with the singing :).
Who doesn’t like a good leaf to chew every now and then?
This is the third time I’ve photographed this family and I can’t believe how big that little blondie got. Their first family pictures are here (if you can look at them fast enough before you get redirected back to my current site) and there are a couple of them last year here.
I didn’t notice until now, but this first shot is so similar to the first shot from their first photo shoot!
E (the older one) still recalls when we did pictures at “the castle.” What a memory that kid has!
These kiddos were unbelievably cooperative. They were so easy. Thanks guys!
While I was traveling I had so many awesome photo shoots so I’m going to post just a few pictures from each for the next few weeks!
My first shoot was with this cute little family! My old roommate is this mama’s sister and I couldn’t believe how adorable these kids were.
I love her serious look.
For some reason I just love this one!
When I got out of the car and met J & C I apologized for being such a shorty. They both towered over me by at least a foot!
Um, yes, they were fun.
We walked down the street to a new spot and they started a rousing game of “I’m not touching you” (anyone who’s spent anytime in a backseat with their siblings should know this one well).
But then they decided they were okay with getting close for a while.
We soon moved onto more mature things, such as slug-bug (according to Koree – I grew up in the south and played it by a different name).
Koree’s view:
My view:
What’s a girl to do when she’s a full 12-16 inches shorter than her clients? She gets on her boyfriend’s shoulders of course.
They were pretty happy most of the time, but towards the end of the shoot their pouting rivaled most 2-year-olds :).
I had bumped up our shoot just a bit in fear of the storm clouds headed our way, and it turned out to be a good choice! We were headed back to the car when I asked them to sit down for one last shot. This is the last shot I pulled off before I heard, “RAIN!!!”
They took cover under a tree. We took cover under a porch across the street.
The wedding will be here in one short month! Maybe I should bring a step-stool.
