I had the pleasure of shooting senior portraits for the hubby's cousin. Here are some of her (and my) favorites.

Father's Day

As a gift to the best dad in the world, we took these pictures and had them framed so he could display his beautiful girls at the office.

A cold, crisp day

So remember that wedding I mentioned? The work is finally finished, and the discs are burning. I'm glad we all survived the arctic temperatures that day. Here are a few favorites from the temple and the reception that night:

I know, I know ...

... I should be working on wedding photos. But I had to take a quick time-out to shoot some gorgeous pictures of my gorgeous baby girl.

I have ulterior motives. Every time we have a baby, I try to enter the most beautiful picture of her into the Post Register's baby parade issue so we can win prizes. I don't understand how we haven't won yet, but I'm willing to try again.

So this morning I dressed Miri up in a onesie I learned how to dye at this site and shot a few pics. Here's my favorite.


I know what you're thinking. ... This won will win for sure! Right? Right?

I know what I'm thinking. ... She looks so adorable with a headband! So why does the little stinker yank them out every time I put one in?

Handsome man

I'll have wedding pictures to post soon, but I finished these last night and wanted to get them up.

While at the reception I was shooting last weekend, my childhood best friend (whose sister happened to be the bride) asked if I would take some pictures of her cute 1-year-old.

Handsome little man, isn't he?

Christmas card design

A friend called this morning and asked that I do a little editing to some pictures they had taken this summer (by another photographer) so they could get a family Christmas card printed. I showed her the Christmas card I designed for our family last year and asked if she just wanted me to add the text and graphics. Here's the final result:

Us

It took a while to find a time to take a couple self-portrait. The hubby usually gets home after dark, and I wanted to use the same window light I had for the girls' pictures. With Seth taking the day off, I finally had my chance.

I tried to have us do closed-mouth smiles (again, to match the girls' pictures), but I just can't do it! Every time I attempted it, my teeth showed anyway. Oh, well.

The frame story

Once upon a time, I had a picture frame on our entry way wall. It had three B&W 4x6s of the family: one of Seth and Andrea together, one of Rebekah and one of Analee. But then one day, I had to borrow the mat from that frame for one of my entries to the state fair.

After the fair, I tried putting the frame back in its home on the wall, only to have it fall on the ground and break into itsy bitsy pieces. I tried to buy a replacement frame, but I couldn't find the exact one. Instead, I found and purchased a slightly bigger frame that has a mat that holds four 4x6s.

The frame has been hanging on the wall sans photos, glass and back for a few days now. My camera has been sitting out for a couple of days now, so I decided to pick it up and takes pictures of my girls by the window. Here are my favorites:


Now all I've got to do is get Seth around here while there's still some daylight and take a picture with him; then I'll have all four spots in our mat ready to be occupied.

Ashley

The involved persons haven't even had a chance to look through these yet, but I HAVE to post one of the images I shot last night. Ashley is such an adorable girl!

Gorgeous girls

I bought frames for our bedroom and painted them to match the furniture. So I HAD to have new pictures of my beautiful girls to go in them. I love how you can see their little personalities in the images.
