2011 Christmas Cards

The Niece's...& a Few For Fun!

My sister has 5 children and 4 of them are girls.  All of the girls have summer birthdays, 1 in June, 2 in July and 1 in August.  A few weeks ago we decided to attempt birthday photo shoots at my house for the June and July birthdays.  My oldest niece is also turning 8 and getting baptized, so we had to do a few scripture pictures too. 

It was a bit crazy with 7 kids running around but we got them done and they are so cute!!  We also had an impromptu shoot with the two 3 year olds (one mine, one hers), who were feeling a little left out and wanted their pictures taken as well.  If you can't tell, they were feeling a little silly...

Madeline, Age 5

Elise, Age 8

Kaylee & Baylee, Age 3 and 3 1/2

Divinity

Meet my beautiful sister-in-law Divinity, who is pregnant with her third baby.  After two girls, I am excited for her to have a boy, especially since it will give my little guy someone to play with when they get older.  While I was up in Utah a few weeks ago, we decided to do a maternity shoot and we had SO much fun.  We found a few perfect props just hanging around the property, and decided to use them. Here she is at 34 weeks and counting...hopefully her sweet baby boy will make his debut this weekend so I can see him in person!!

Isn't this #3 perfect since she is having her third child?  Love it!

This frame was just laying in the field so Didi picked it up and rocked some pictures with it!

Do you like this one better in color

Or black and white?

I made her take a picture as we were leaving so we could document the gate I made her climb over in order to get to our location!



Happy Baby!!

Grace Turns 2!

I cannot believe how much this little sweetie has grown!  In the year I've been out of state, she has changed from a baby to a little girl....and it made me really sad.  For not remembering who I was, she was SO good for her pictures! Having her teddy there helped out and we got some cute shots with the two of them together!  We had a fun time at Gardner Village, plus it doing this shoot meant extra time I got to spend with her mom, aka "my bestie". 

Happy Birthday Gracie!

 I LOVE this picture!!

Love this one too!!

Dellinger Family

This wonderful family has been featured several times on my blog.  I visited Utah for a few days and managed to get in a quick shoot with them at Murray Park.  I can't believe how much little D has grown since I last saw him. :(  It makes me sad that I'm missing so much while I'm away.  BUT, I'm glad I got to spend some time with them and take a few pictures while little buddy stayed happy.  My favorite part?  How happy he was at the end of the shoot to wear his sunglasses.  What a stud!



Cool dude!
