Where do I start with Jess & Shawn?  I have to say that engagement sessions are one of my favorite types of photography.  The couples are so in love, and always willing to do pretty much whatever I ask.  Since we're in Rock Springs, we didn't have too many crazy things to do, but we still had a good time.  Shawn feels like he doesn't fake smiles well, so he literally changed his smile with every click of my shutter.  It made for a fun session.  He definitely kept me on my toes!

All taken within a minute!

Before I go any further, I have to introduce the newest member of their family, Blake.  He's six months old, and not stingy with his smiles.  Luckily Grandma came with to get him looking at my direction with his smiles.

Have you heard of Lillybug Creations?  If you follow my Facebook  page or hers, you've seen some of her hair bows in action.  Owner, Michelle asked me about a month ago if I was available this past Saturday.  Her oldest daughter, Mallory was going to be home from school for the weekend, and the stars were aligning to get family pictures.  She was excited because it had been 14 YEARS since they had a family picture taken.  Needless to say I was honored she asked me, and looked forward to photographing Michelle and the rest of the Harder family.   Here's the gallery from the session on Saturday.

This session was a blast.  Clearly, the girls were happy to be back together, even if just for a weekend.  It made me miss my sister even though she's only 2 hours away. 

I met up with the White family in Forsyth park. They have an almost two year old son, Silas, who is too adorable for words. Even though we planned their session on pretty short notice, Alicia had their outfits selected and they were perfect!  Check out their gallery to see how awesome they were!

It’s been a few weeks since I had a family session. I seemed to have a lot of milestone & birthday sessions lately. This was my first family session with my new camera, and I fell in love with it even more. But back to the family. We had a gorgeous evening, awesome light, and Silas was a ham for the camera. A few tickles of his tummy, and we had some amazing family pictures.

As with every two year old, staring at a camera and smiling for more than a minute at a time isn’t easy, so we looked at the creek, had Daddy throw him in the air, and gave mommy hugs and kisses.

I first met Jamie & Soloman at swim class.  I've been so fortunate to make not only new clients from swim, but also friends.  And what wonderful women they all are.  I'm going to try and catch up and blog all of their sessions, but today, Soloman & Jamie are up from our session of Friday!

Jamie had the cutest outfit for her little man.  It came complete with suspenders, tie, vest, and shoes.  We ran into a hitch though... Soloman wasn't a huge fan of the shoes, so we nixed the shoes halfway through altogether.  Surprisingly, he was totally cool with grass, and that made life a bit easier.

One year sessions are a blast, but I'll be honest and tell you all that once they're walking for these sessions, it's game on.  We still always get amazing photos, but I was totally unprepared my first time I had a walking 1 year old. 

 These two cuties came to me for their birthday pictures about a month apart. Brooke turned 7 & Hunter turned 3. Sarah styled the kids perfectly. Simply with light patterns, but the kids looked amazing, and their outfits clearly matched their personalities.  Follow this link  to see their outfits in action!

Poor Brooke was so willing to do the pictures, but of course, we got rained on. But it didn’t stop us! We just danced in the rain. Interesting fact: Sarah and I both pulled up the WAND app, and had two different displays on the radar. Mine showed nothing, and hers showed rain. Clearly, mine was incorrect.

But I digress. Brooke and I just improvised a bit, and you’d never know we were pretty damp by the end of the session. I have to say that her images turned out amazing, and it was so fun working with her.
