Vacation

For me it seems that my vacations are tied to other events. My trip to Utah this summer was no different. My younger sister was graduating from BYU so off to Utah I headed for a week. One highlight of my trip was getting to meet up with some fellow photographers from one of the online forums I am a part of.


I grabbed my dear friend Becky and we headed out to the old Saltair to take some pictures. There was some willing models that were there but I have just as much fun taking pictures of the surroundings.





Here is the group as taken by a photographer we met while out there, Robert Schmidt.





Speaking of my friend Becky her younger sister had recently got engaged so I took a few engagement pictures for the happy couple.

Part 2 of trash the dress

Here are a few more from our fun trash the dress session... It was one of the most fun sessions ever!!




This one she was trying not to breathe, that rock really smelled.

Sneak peek of a TTD session

This was the first chance I have had to do a trash the dress session and it was SOOO much fun. I wanted to get little sneak peek up for my adorable subject. Susie I hope you like them.
This was her last chance to turn back..





No turning back now!!













More to come in a day or two, along with a little more about how much fun we had..

Although I really think this image sums up how much fun we had...

Sweet little Ryan

You might remember this slightly soggy maternity session. Well her sweet little boy has arrived. I got to go over one morning when he was just 7 days old and get these sweet pictures.







This sweet little boy was sleepy but also very hungry so he was eating in between most of the photos. Gotta love a healthy eater.







I can't wait till we can get some pictures of him and hi little sister together. Congrats again Rasmeet and Saran, he is a very sweet little man.

Little miss M was on the go

This sweet and absolutely adorable family wanted to get some family pictures and of course some of their adorable litle girl.







This lite girl had other plans though. She was on the go the whole time giving me quite the workout. She was oh so cute though.







She was such a litle love, check her out blowing kisses

Mr. B all the way from Utah

This little man and his very beautiful Mama came all the way from Utah for his portrait session.









He was wide awake the whole time and he sure did like eating those cute little fists of his.



Check out those amazing blue eyes.



He used up quite a few smiles before he arrived at his photo session but we managed to pull a few more out of him and that face is so sweet even without smiles how can you not love him.

Even the rain couldn't stop us

June has been a really rainy month this year. But we were not going to let it stop us from getting some Maternity pictures done of my sweet friend and coworker.




She is not only a very sweet woman, but a fabulous coworker, I miss worknig with her now that she is in another department...





Her Hubby is such a sport and even hopped in a few pictures when we asked.



How fitting she had this blue umbrella since she is having a little boy any day now.





I can't wait to get the baby pictures of your little boy once he makes his grand entrance! Hopefully his big sister will want to get in some pictures too!!
