I've been gone can you guess where...

I am a lucky girl

This is my mom and step dad but we call him dad. These guys haven't been married for 35 years but it looks like it. I'm not sure, I will probably get in trouble by my mom, but I think it's been 5 years. Anyways, these 2 have a green thumb, of which, has one them many yard beautification contest and others I don't remember right now (I might get in trouble for that too...my mother claims I don't remember anything). I have reminded them that my house is full of projects but "no" they keep working on theirs...seriously, you gotta help a girl out.
So, it felt completely right to have the session in their backyard, to capture them in their element.

Enjoy! This is my favorite part of why I got into this business to capture my family for generations.

Lucky again

I have the most wonderful parents and that includes the inlaws. Everyone talks about how horrible it is to marry into another family but that is not the case for me let me introduce to you my in laws.

These 2 love birds have been married for 35 years and still very much in love as you can tell. Mom has served in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for I think 12 years and Dad has served in countless church callings and yes he has been a Bishop (and for those of you don't know my last name it is Bishop)...hence has was called "Bishop, Bishop"

...a snapshot into the session. I brought my children along to play in the water and that lasted 20 min until the mosquitos decided to attach the children and little "E" was petrified to the point that she wet her pants and I still kept shooting for maybe 10 more min...I think this makes me for a bad mom (I care more about getting the shot than taking my daughter to shelter...lesson learned)

for Tammy...and Heidi

I didn't think I would get to posting these tonight but well...let's say I surprise myself sometimes. Tammy I think I got some shots you might be proud of.
Let me give you a little bit of background to the session. There is a 1 year involved (let's remember that age rocks!). One sweet little autistic child and one 5 year that doesn't want to be told what to do (but thats okay neither do I and trust me this is very true).
Here they are!

I think is my favorite of the session and to all you photogs who look I didn't touch up is face or eyes they came that way.

Papers

I bought some paper and it looked very similiar to some damasks I bought a year ago and so Ithought I would make my own. What do ya think? I had to do one pink because those are my colors.

Everyone needs a SUPER HERO.

.Family.

My adorable niece and nephew. I can't get enough of these guys. I love every single one of them(all 15 of them I think) and the best part is when they cry because they want to go in my car. I must be the favorite aunt...he he!

Oh yeah, and as I was posting I saw a few followers. That's COOL!!!!





This is for big "B"


I can't get enough of this pout face.


His face says...This is not manly!

Just a few

Kisha I'm sorry it took me so long to get to the post but needless to say you have some to look at on the web while the CD is in the mail.
My favorites are of the abandoned house but it seems everytime I go to one I get kicked off...but this guy was nice. He let me take a few before we left. I don't see the problem because I am only shooting on the outdside but I can understand that it is a liability for the owner. So, I hope one day that I can find a house that the owner wont care if I'm there. And just for the record I always ask the client if they want to go and there may be a possiblity of getting kicked off and if they are game then we will give it a try. It is a litte hard to track down the owner of an abandoned home so I just wait for them to come to me.

Enjoy!!!!!

Finally

I have something of Bryn and out of all my children she is the one that will not go for a photosshoot but this time I had a plan...a late night party. We got the treats, drinks and she had to set it all up in a display, but before the late night began we went out for some soon to be 8 year old photos. It was a blast of course for me but best of all Bryn liked it too!

Here is what I have to show of my beautiful yet so mysterious child. But as of late she has expressed some interests like sewing, sports (so far just soccer) she loves to chase the boys at school and she does a pretty good job at holding her own when she fights (wrestles) with older brother. I just love this little.

love this...she looks to old here.

Meet Zac

Perfect timing for these shots, with the Olympics and all (Michael Phelps taking home 8 gold medals).
Zac has a few of his own and taking 1st in a traithalon. I have been waiting all day to post these but I wanted to make sure I edited all that I wanted to share of the session.

It's kind of a big post. ENJOY!
