RIP Roaring good times! {Saint George, Utah Family Photographer}

Oh. my. heck. This was the funniest session ever. ha ha ha. These guys won a session in one of my giveaways a while back and we finally got together to do their photos a few weeks ago. I was 8.8 months pregnant and found it a little difficult to get up and down for the angles I wanted, but we managed. . . . For the first FIVE MINUTES until I sat myself down on a cement ledge and felt my pants rip out from under me. We're talking from cheek to calf, ripped wide open. Lovely. We tried covering me up with my 5 year old's sweatshirt, but that wouldn't even come close to keeping me decent. So it ended up my husband had to get a towel of the seat of our car and I wrapped it around my waist for the entire session. Can you say embarrassing?? They were so cute about it though and waited patiently as I sat waiting for my hubby to come to the rescue with the towel.

And their youngest daughter was a hoot. I always tell little ones that there is a monkey that lives in my camera and if you smile and look closely in my lens he'll sometimes peek out at you! It gets them to look and smile and giggle. Well she had such an imagination. She saw TWO monkeys. One was a boy and one was a girl. I'm glad she let me know! ;)

All in all, it was a great shoot and we really did have a lot of fun. I get to meet such neat people doing my job! Thank you guys so much for a fun afternoon. It was a blast!




Sweet Baby Girl! {Saint George, Utah Photographer}




Oh my cuteness!! I got to take this sweet girl's pictures the other day for her 3 month birthday and she is a doll! AND might I add has PERFECT skin. (Babies usually take a while to edit because of their peeling, baby zits, and splotchies. I seriously didn't have to do ANYTHING in post processing to hers.) And she didn't even cry. And she's beautiful. Did I mention that this was a really fun session? :)

Thanks for letting me play with your sweet girl Kristen!

The Hamilton Family {Saint George, Utah Family Photographer}





I've photographed these darling girls before, but this time Daddy got to come too! It was so much fun. They were so good and the weather was perfect. I went to high school with their Mommy, and as always it was great to see her and chat for a bit. Thanks so much you guys!

More Mini Sessions {Moab Utah Family Portraits}





Here is another one of the "Christmas Special" sessions I did in Moab a few weeks ago. I photographed this cute family last year also. I LOVE repeat customers. It's so fun to see how fast their kids grow up! These guys were awesome. The kids were angels and Dad was a good sport the whole time. ;) I wish I could show you all of the images from their session! They had so many keepers. Thanks for a fun afternoon you guys! It was so fun to see you again.

Time Flies {Saint George, Utah Photographer}





Can you believe these boys had ANOTHER birthday?? I know I can't. It is so hard taking pictures of my own kids. I can be patient with everyone else's kids, but with mine, I just get mad when they don't do what I want them to. ha ha ha. Poor guys. For a quick 15 minute session I think we got s few keepers though. I can't believe how big they are getting. They are best friends (most of the time) and I love it. I couldn't ask for sweeter, funnier boys that's for sure.

Boys Will Be Boys {Moab, Utah Family Photographer}

Here is a sneak peak for the first cute family I met with in Moab for my Christmas special last weekend! I have 3 more families to go and hope to have them finished up in the next few days.

Thanks for a fun session boys!!
