While I was in Oregon, I had the opportunity to take pictures of the Martin family. I fell in love with Oregon all over again as we traipsed around their backyard, dripping with daisies, all things green, chickens, and pollen…

About 10 minutes after the Perry’s arrival, the weather took a nasty turn. The winds picked up to ridiculous speeds. Greg and I could barely stand up straight we were sneezing so much. All in all, not the best all around conditions for a family shoot. So we get to hang out again when the weather and our schedules decide to cooperate. But there were some pictures worth saving. Too bad the wind was so bad, because the lighting couldn’t have been more perfect.
Imagine my delight when my dear old roommate and her husband (who incidentally lived behind us as a married couple as well several years ago), contacted me for a photoshoot while they were in town. It was so fun to hang out with them again and reminisce. Happy five year anniversary you crazy kids!
I had so much fun taking pictures with this crew, my second family. If only it wasn’t so dang muddy! We had to hose down our shoes after this little adventure, but clearly, it was worth it. You can view their first session with me in Seattle here. Also, I would like to formally apologize to the kids who, when I gave them a Warhead after the shoot for a treat, thought that I had literally forced them to suck on throw-up.
After living in Las Vegas for the last eight or so years, Geoff’s sister’s family decided to embrace their location and take their family pictures in front of THE sign. Boy am I glad they did. Won’t these be so fun to have up in their house!
Their blond haired, blue-eyed kaboose!
Yesterday was a very special day for my brother and his family. They were able to seal their family together in the Salt Lake City LDS temple. After their court finalization where Lizzie became an “official” member of the Sherry family, going to the temple together was next on the list. Geoff and I were so happy to be there and witness such a beautiful thing, and take pictures of them afterwards. It was bitterly cold, so we made it short and sweet. Good thing Lizzie Jane has some chub on her because she was perfectly content the whole time.
I’m so glad that I know families are truly forever!
I was so pleased when Kiera, my good friend and fellow photographer asked me to take some pictures of her family with their newest addition, Asher Leo. I’m not posting very many family pictures in case she’s using one for a Christmas card, but here are some others from my time with them. Seeing her with her sweet newborn made me so excited. It’s magical seeing brothers and sisters love a new one and to see how instantly a family is made complete by a soul that wasn’t even there thirteen days ago.
Burr it’s getting cold out there! Thank you to the Peters family for enduring some chilly temperatures to get their family photos done. We had a short and sweet session, with some equally short and sweet little ones. Have I mentioned how much I love the photography part of my job? Well I do!
Please let me introduce you to the most laid back family I’ve met thus far. I’ll explain. We had our shoot scheduled for last Saturday. If you live here in Utah, you might remember this is the day when Fall decided to show up in full force. We talked about rescheduling, but after a break in the rain, decided to go through with the shoot. When I arrived at our predetermined location, it started to drizzle, then rain, and then POUR. They weren’t phased and said “Let’s go to an underpass”. I’m all for that, so we headed over while I prayed the whole time that the rain would let up. They hopped out of the car with all four kids in tow, including George who still had orange hair from Crazy Hair day which they couldn’t get out–love it. I was pretty sure we were going to have some extras in their family shoot as we weren’t the only people trying to get out of the rain…Not only was it pouring, but it was really dark. As a photographer, these are less then ideal conditions, actually they are the worst, but we worked it out and even found an empty boxcar to jump in, making for some really cool, and dry pictures. Thank you Grimmers for being up for anything!
This family might look familiar to you if you’ve been following my blog for a while. Meet the Dovers, my very best friend’s family. Amy and I have been “kindred spirits” (as her grandma puts it) for almost 14 years now. I think it’s safe to say that we’ve been through just about everything together, including a long struggle to get our third babies here. Amy and I are due three weeks from each other. We both experienced miscarriages and a year (almost two for Amy) of discouragement month after month. This only brought us closer as you might imagine and I’d like to think our little ones are up in heaven playing together already in preparation for their time together as best buddies on Earth. I love this family like my own.
