Welcome baby Kavik . . .

Did you know . . .

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog tails . . . . that's what little boys are made of!

Hmmmm . . . just exactly what are Snips & Snails? It's thought that snips would be little pieces of all sorts of things . . . kind of like . . .



 
little tiny toes and a little tiny nose

 
scrappy little bows and scrapes on the knees

 
throwing of rocks and the climbing of trees  
pockets full of frogs and jars full of bugs  
a ball and a bat and a baseball hat
   
make a sweet little boy
 
full of kisses and hugs :D   Yes - you are an adorable little one

Introducing Jenny and Jared . . . Jenny comes from the sunny state of Florida . . . Jared comes from the sunny state of Florida . . . And they both live here in Utah going to school   . . . Just a few more days and they will be getting married here in Utah . . . yahoo . . . can't wait for the day! We had so much fun taking these lovely engagement photos at the Discovery Learning Park in Highland Utah.  Amazingly the lake was frozen!  It was fun to see fisherman out on the ice . . . fishing . . . Then we moved on to the American Fork Amphitheater.  Oh what a lovely day!


 

During the holidays I was so lucky to get a new bee-U-ti-ful IMAC that has been a treasure to edit photos on!  But all the updating and backups and transfers and set up,  it's put me a little bit behind on the blogging! I have a few events that I'm just now getting around to organizing in a blog format - don't ask me what has taken me so long . . . Between booking, shooting, updating, editing updating websites, downloading software, attending workshops . . . the last thing I remember to work on is getting photos on the blog! So finally - I am VERY excited to present . . . Ta da!  Emily and Isaac! And a beautiful Salt Lake City / Emigration Canyon wedding!


 

Thinking of having photos of your newborn taken? 
 Newborn photography is a relatively new phenonemon . . . in the past families starting having photos done at about 2-4 months of age.
 

What to wear . . . What to wear? WHAT to WEAR - it's an age old question, and never asked by more people than the mom trying to match everyone for the upcoming family photo.  I don't think I ever take a picture that the subject doesn't ask for suggestions on what to wear . . .


I wish there was a simple answer . . . but usually it comes down to three things - COLOR . . . LAYERS . . . and ACCESSORIES

Really . . . The answer is a little different for everyone really, but I'm going to point you in the direction of something that will give you a great place to start! PINTEREST! Here's a link to my PHOTOGRAPHY board with many options to find what will work best for you. Go on . . . take a look and give it a try!   I'm going to share a few photos that are excellent examples of what to wear for a photography session.  They all are credited and linked to the photographers web sites, so please go and check out the rest of their stuff!  Such talented ladies! First,  I'm going to use this great example taken by a cute photography neighbor of mine, Chelsie Clarke - you really MUST check out the rest of her STUFF :)




 

Going to try really hard to get caught up around here! I so love these photos of this cute family - and we had more fun than a barrel full of monkeys while shooting these at the Discovery Learning Park in Highland Utah.  What a gorgeous place, beautiful park, lots of ducks and geese.  The kids fed the ducks until I think they were stuffed full! The Burke family has always been pretty precious to our family, we have loved watching these little ones get bigger and bigger and cuter and cuter!  Way to go Lauren and Doug - your family is amazing!
