The "D" Family

A few weeks ago I was able to take the "D's" out for a Fall Family Shoot!! 

When they brought their kiddos home earlier this year 

I couldn't wait to get them in front of the camera - and this is why:

We had a great morning (despite the boot that was put on their car 

because the Logan Parking Authority had nothing better to do on a Saturday morning) - 

the weather was absolutely beautiful, the company wonderful and the kiddos adorable!

Light Sticks & Shutter Speeds

A few weeks ago we got together with some friends & their kiddos! 

We stopped at the dollar store and got some light sticks for the kids! 

They opened them up & I pulled out the camera to do some experimenting!!

We had a lot of fun and the kids loved seeing the pictures that they were making with their light sticks!

Roomies

If you ever need an energy boost, hang out with these four beautiful ladies! 

They are rooming together this year and asked if I'd get some pictures of them! 

We spent the morning hunting down urban locations 

and I am so happy with the that their pictures turned out!

Keep Smiling,

Lizzie & Eva

Last Sunday I headed up to Second Dam with my sweet nieces 

and their parents for a little photo shoot!! 

These beautiful girls are two of the busiest girls I've ever met, 

so getting them to focus on smiling for the camera is a little tricky!!

While I was editing this shoot I played around with a little more texture 

and I've gotta say, I'm definitely enjoying the results!!

... snowville school pictures ...

yesterday i had a very big photography first! 

i got to drive for an hour to the little town of snowville 

and photograph the children and faculty for their school pictures! 

the experience was wonderful and i've gotta say, 

that the small town of snowville has some adorable kiddos! 

because this is a public blog and it is my responsibility to keep the identities of the children safe, 

i'll show you the pictures that i took of the school! 

i fell in love with the school immediately and spent some time attempting to capture its uniqueness!

now you can see why i fell in love with the school! 

i can't wait to get started on the photos of the children!

... forever families ...

This is one of my most favorite families ever! 

I am really lucky to have such wonderful friends, and definitely have them in the "Duts!" 

(names have been changed to protect the innocent :)

This special day has been a long time in the making for this beautiful family, 

and I'm so happy that I was able to capture some pictures for them and their families!

And just because I can never resist a picture of little feet ...

Keep Smiling,

... life happens ...

I don't know how many people look at this blog. 

I'd like to think that it is looked at often, but I really have no idea! 

For those one or two of you who might look at it every once in a while, 

I have not fallen off the face of the earth!

This last month has been busy and full of things that weren't so fun, 

but I suppose that is life, right? 

School has since started and studying is occupying most of my "free time," 

but I'm hoping to get organized enough that I can still shoot and post regularly!

Until that miracle happens, I'll leave you with a picture of my beautiful niece, Sadie, on her blessing day!

Keep Smiling,

Annie
