Extended Family Shoot…My Cousins!

When I was growing up, every year for Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, Labor Day bar-b-ques, cherry picking, and other fun stuff, my family would drive 1 hour and 10 minutes (about 30 miles, wink, wink. ;)) to hang out with my Aunts, cousins, Grandma and Pappy. I loved it! We always had the best time. Now that we’re older it doesn’t happen as often and life just seems to go on. I was thrilled to death when I was asked to take pictures of my Aunt, cousins, and now second cousins!!  A great excuse to see everybody!
We weren’t sure the weather was going to cooperate and although it was very cold, the wind was mostly on and sometimes off, and the sun was in and out we went ahead with the plans.  A special thanks to my Auntie M for letting us get warm in her house and use her backyard.

Stephanie found a picture she fell in love with and wanted to recreate it with her family.  I was totally up for the task, and here are the results.

My cousin Jacob.

My cousin Charlie.
Stephanie wanted to get my Grandma in on a few and I decided I wanted one for myself, all by herself.  She’s  85 and super fun to talk to.
Thanks for asking me to photograph you all.  It was fun to visit and I had a great time!

1 year old!

Check out little {L}! Isn’t she beautiful?! The session was done in my home in our little studio! The studio accommodates only a few at a time for now but certainly does the job, and it’s been a nice alternative to our wintery Utah outdoor sessions.
Thanks Lynette, for bringing your little beauty over to be photographed.  Love you girls!

Hello, Blue Eyes

Baby {A} is 3 months old, and can you believe her eye color?! WOW! Usually babies this age have gray eyes until later when their eye color is determined. But not this beauty. Her eyes are definitely blue! She’s not only beautiful but such a good girl. I felt so lucky to have taken her pictures.

The Keele’s -part 2

A few weeks ago this family and I arrived at our location and the sun had already gone down. We quickly took family pictures and when we tried the individuals for the kids there just wasn’t enough light to freeze the shot. So we tried again, and boy was it great! Thanks goes to Sterling for holding up the sun blocker so we could have some shade. I seriously couldn’t have gotten the results without him. Thank you so much Sterling! And thank you Rosy for getting everybody all dressed up again so we could get some great pictures! What a great, and good looking family. Love you guys!

Anybody who knows this guy, knows that he’s a load of fun! All these poses were his idea. The middle one? Yep, the thinker. 🙂

Do you remember the 12 day old I took pictures of 4 months ago? Well, this is her sweet, sweet family! And boy was it cold! 35 degrees when we finished the shoot and everybody was still happy. Thanks for hanging out with me for a little bit guys. I had a great time!

Our Family Pictures

 I mentioned in the last post that Holly Robinson Photography and I traded picture taking.  She took our family picture and I took the ones of my kids.  Wind was an issue this night.  I learn something new every time I do a session.  Tonight I learned that when you have wind, and girls with long hair, you need to take more pictures then you think. 😉
