Tutus

Allie has a new obsession other than horses now...playing dress up.  She puts on one of her tutus everyday and has to wear the "heels" that she got for Christmas along with it.  She says "I'm a pretty princess" and I have no idea where she got it from since she doesn't watch any princess movies really...I guess it really is ingrained in us as girls :)  Anyway, I had to document some of this "phase" (I hope.)

Baby Wesley

This little guy was just perfect the whole time.  The entire shoot only took about 35 min. - a record for newborns :)  

Just look at how adorable he is:

The Tuttle Family

After church last Sunday we stopped by the park for some quick family pics.  Gorgeous family, don't you think?

Sunshine

We escaped the snow this weekend and went down to St. George to see our "twins." It was relaxing, fun, and wonderful.  We especially enjoyed the 65 degree weather on Saturday...

Thanks Tad and Candice, for a weekend we needed very much!

More pics to come when I get CS5 and my "new old" computer :)

Family Pictures

We took ten minutes before we drove to Seattle to take some new family pics.  We were lucky too - it was really the only time that day that it wasn't raining :)

Snow Day

A Few From the Holidays

Just a few shots from our holiday vacation:  More to come when I get Adobe CS5...

Baby Jude: Part Two

Baby Jude: Part One

These newborn pictures were a lot of fun.  Jude was such a fun baby to shoot - cute, sleepy, and his mom had some fun ideas, which makes it that much easier for me :)  Since I am in a hurry to get this post up I will keep this short.  Enjoy:

Why Take Pictures

Sometimes I ask myself what it is I love so much about photography (especially photography of people.)  I love what Justin Hackworth said here:

I love that by just the click of a button I get an image that reminds me of sights, sounds, smells, and feelings for the rest of my life.

Brems Family (The Other Brems)

So, when I took Paul & Lindsay's photos we actually did them at my cousin's home.  She was so sweet to help me with Allie so I didn't have to find a babysitter.  We got some of her cute family while I was there...I'll just share one since they are pretty much the same:

Thanks for all your help Melinda and Jonathan!  And Libby - for entertaining Allie :)

Baby Brems Part Two

Brems Baby Part One

I had the pleasure of meeting this little family and taking some pictures of their sweet brand new baby.  She was such a good girl and let us pose her even while she was awake.  Here is part one of the shoot.  Part two will follow shortly.

Blog Reviews and Giveaways

For those of you who follow my other blog, A Few of My Favorite Things, you know that I have been doing a lot of reviews and giveaways for some of my favorite Etsy stores.  One of my favorite parts of these: taking photographs of the products :)  Here are just a few pics of some of them.  Oh, and be sure to head on over and enter some of the giveaways!  Some are ending soon!

Brad and Tiana Part Two

Missing Summer...

Brad and Tiana: Part One

I was looking forward to this shoot for a long time.  Tiana is the brains behind my new blog and we had been planning the shoot for a while.  We got so lucky and scheduled on the warmest day in November.  Seventy degrees, with a perfect cloud layer for lighting.  We took them at Wheeler Farm, which I am pretty sure is one of the best places to shoot at in the Fall.  Plus, the couple is obviously gorgeous and they were happy to be there, not to mention very photogenic :) 

Baby Sienna

This sweet little girl is the second baby I've done recently that just did not want to sleep :)  That's okay though, we still got some cute shots of her and her older sister, Kendra.

Scott and Lauren's Wedding Album

We got these albums for a smokin' deal... I haven't used Picaboo yet for these types of albums, but I have heard good things about them.  We all got $100 credit for $35.  The albums we ordered are the Madison.  They are normally $90 each so we basically just had to pay for shipping and some extra pages, but what a deal!

Here is what the album itself looks like:

Nate and Becca Married!!

The best way to describe these two on their wedding weekend was just overflowing with happiness.  I know that I am not the only one so excited for these two and their little family to be sealed together.
