Libby Turned One!

Remember this little cutie from her baby pictures?  I can't believe how time flies and that she is already one!



The Spencer Family and Nate

While my parents were here I got to go visit some of my cousins.  We stepped outside on their deck to get a couple quick family pics:



The Hermann Family

Finally I got to take a few pictures of this cute little family all together.  We did a little 5-10 minute shoot and got a few really cute ones...



Birthday Girl

I think that Allie had a pretty good birthday this year, what do you think?

Last of Darren and Aly's Engagements



Darren and Aly Engagements Part 3



Darren and Aly Engagements Part 2



Darren and Aly Engagements Part 1

Doing Aly and Darren's engagements was a lot of fun, especially having my brother there doing the film.  Aly came with a bunch of outfits to choose from and we ended using 4 of them.  We also shot at 4 different locations, so it was almost like having 4 photo shoots.  Since these pictures had so much variety to them, I thought I would post them in sections...so here are the first 2 "shoots."



My Beautiful Sister

While Mel was here I convinced her to model for me.  I am so glad she did it!  Look at how gorgeous she is:

My brother and I recently shot engagements together for the first time.  Go check out the engagement video he made:



Baby Jacob


I finally finished the rest of Baby Jacob's pictures!  Here's the cutie:




Missing

Right now I'm missing this girl:



Friends of Allie

The same day of "Our Typical Morning" photo shoot, I was able to play around with that screen/room divider and take some pictures of Allie's friends.  Elle was first:



Finally Finished...Almost


I am finally finished with my apartment...kinda. I figured I can take pictures of what I am mostly done with first, and keep working on the rest.


LIVING ROOM BEFORE




Baby Kaden

Remember how I said I would post LOTS more pics of cute little Kaden?  First some pics of the cute parents:

    

Babies Babies Babies!

Yesterday Trey, Allie, and I drove the canyon loop from Salt Lake to Orem to Heber and back to Salt Lake. Obviously the reason had something to do with babies...




First I got to stop by Ceci's baby shower in Orem while Trey and Allie played at a park. It was fun to see Crystal and meet some of Ceci's friends. My mom got Ceci this nursing cover. I really want one because I think it is so pretty...Don't you think so?



Experimenting Part 2

After Allie had a much needed nap I decided to play around with Christmas lights and a heart-shaped filter (homemade with paper and tape.)

I liked the lights in Allie's eye in this first one.


Experimenting

After the lighting photowalk, I started thinking about ways that I could create my own "studio looks" without actually having a studio.


The first thing I tried was using a backdrop with natural (outside) light.


Ceci Maternity

Sunday after church we threw a surprise party for my little brother. We had all the cousins over and ate dinner and cake and played games. Ceci and Steven came a little early so I could take some maternity pics - aren't I lucky?!


Stanley Ford 1940-2010

On Saturday we attended Grandpa Ford's funeral services. He passed away last Sunday after a 2 year battle of pancreatic cancer.
