July 24, 2010

Happy Pioneer Day to all my fellow Utahns! We had a wonderful day, full of running 10Ks (Matt did. Not me. Let me be clear. It was NOT me.), shopping (that was ALL me), barbecue and canoeing with friends, and fireworks to end the night. Hope you all had a wonderful day too!

Less Than 24 Hours Old

July 18, 2010

I was thrilled that this sweet little baby’s mom asked me to go take some pictures for her at the hospital, just one day after she was born. I absolutely loved being able to include the hospital stuff in the photos–the newness of her sweet life. It was just such a tender time that I got to share with the family. Thanks again for everything, Amy!

sue: Such a beautiful baby and your photography captures the beauty, love and awe of this sweet little life.

I’ve decided to do some serious updating of my blog. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be consistent, but I’m finally at a point in the summer where things seem to be slowing down a bit and I can actually take some time to share some of the THOUSANDS of photos I’ve already taken this summer–yes, thousands. Both of clients and of my own little fam. I’ve decided to start with three beautiful seniors that I had the opportunity to photograph a couple of months ago (yes, it’s been that long!). Each shoot was so unique and each girl was so unique. I LOVE taking pictures of cute girls who actually WANT to have their photos taken!

Meet Alea (who happens to have the prettiest hair I’ve ever seen):

Meet Daniele (who happens to have the most FLAWLESS skin I’ve ever seen!):

And finally, meet Kendra (who happens to have the loooongest legs I’ve ever seen!):

Next time…a ONE day old newborn (yes only ONE day!–not even 24 hours old!) and a couple of stinkin’ cute kids!

At Three Months…

I wanted to take a picture that really showed just what a fatty he is. I think this one will do. Check out those thunder thighs!

heidig: There's nothing like a chubby baby to love! He's adorable!

It’s packed full of information! Class starts July 29th.

Here is my entry for I Heart Faces this week. The theme is “pets only” and I absolutely LOVE this photo of Kyler and Roxy together. It’s been hanging on the wall of my living room for a couple of years now.

Such a Bad Blogger

June 25, 2010

I think that at this time every year I write on my blog about what a bad blogger I am. That’s just how it is in the summer, though. I take thousands of pictures every summer but never have a second to put them on my blog. My goal this summer, though, is to absolutely FILL my memory cards with summer memories–and so far this year we’ve had a lot! I LOVE SUMMER TIME! (I just realized that so far in this blog post I’ve said the word “summer” five times.)

Anyway…the main reason I haven’t posted any photos is because I’m working on getting them all transferred and uploaded to my brand new 27″ iMac, complete with Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3. (Insert squeals of excitement here.) Um…yeah. I’m in love.

So if you don’t hear from me again for awhile, it’s because I’m playing on my new computer.

Oh, and on my new iPhone 4. :)

sue: Enjoy your new 'toys'!
