Alton Family...

I'm pretty sure that I posted this beautiful family on FB at sometime as a Holiday treat..but never on the blog.
It just happened to be a huge storm that day (can you tell?), which made things interesting for all of us.
I am used to shooting at the beach but not so much in the snow..however I loved how they turned out.
Just know that I totally put a shower cap over my camera to "protect it" from the elements, but then it kept getting in my way and sliding down. There I am standing in 4 feet of snow at a Christmas tree farm, in a blizzard, trying to adjust a shower cap. I decided it would have been more useful on my head really. After an hour of freezing snow (and no we were not rescheduling we had a card deadline to make :) we get done, get in the car, and the stinking sun comes out and the snow stops.
Thanks again Mother Nature for that break AFTER I finish. And after the 6 inches of snow we got in Utah yesterday, I thought it only proper to finally post.

Johnson Girls

So a few things that I didn't account for on this session.
1. The bridge is beautiful but the slots in the bridge were big enough that a large adult could squeeze through. (NOT GOOD FOR RUNNING CHILDREN).
2. The second location had the greatest light and the cutest fence, until a girl going 80 (seriously) hit the guardrail right across from where we where shooting and mom's stress level went WAY up..okay, mine did too, but think about this, everyone stayed safe, they had great outfits on, and I had a large bag of candy.
GREAT OUTFITS + CANDY = makes all the bad go away...right? Love these girls!

Phippen Family...

(Right now you're ALL dying thinking I'm posting the winner...NOT YET!) HA. You still have time to enter scroll down!

This little family is one of the greatest EVER. I love their momma like crazy. Not only is she an amazing mom, friend, and sounding board. But this little lady makes the meanest banana cake this side of the mississippi. (Think the best banana bread with browned- butter cream cheese frosting...HEAVEN).
Emily (see in the post below,dig her.)
Tyler loves BB King, and tractors.
Lulu (Julianna) loves to dance like her sister.
And Mr. P is the nicest guy around. Thanks guys for the good times.
If you noticed we did her daughter Emily's Senior pics before we started the family...SOOO if you have a senior + need a family picture = SMART! Time management at it's best.
I had to post a jumping picture of the family because we were in giggle fits...trying to make it work. Pretty funny.

Naylor Family.... {California Family Photographer}

Seriously...could not decide on photos so I had to just go with 15. WHAT? 15? I know, but you'll see why. The most photogenic family I swear. They had so much fun together...and the coolest picture in the group is when Dad (who is legendary for his beat-boxing) started laying it down, and the family just danced around. LOVED THEM! Loved the outfits, loved the location, LOVE LOVE, IN LOVE!

Chase Family....

So this was a really great shoot. Too bad that my kid (Zach) cried for the whole two hours. These guys are a super family, and you should have seen the kids faces when I took them to a OLD mortuary complete with the white hearse, tall columns, and gargoyles. It all turned out great though, and captured one of my FAVORITE shots of all times with the scary gargoyles! :)
