Let's try something new, shall we?

This is one of those dream-come-true shoots where every single photo we took in our 1 hour was a winner.  Not kidding, usually I shoot 500-600 photos in a session with kids, but here we ended up with a miniscule 332 original photos, narrowed down to about 90 favorites, and I'm having a hard time narrowing it down any further.  (and don't get your hopes up for a shoot this lucky.  My family shoots are the exact opposite, and I'm okay with that.)

So here are a BUNCH.  [I really hope this works].

.......

Eh, blogger won't let me post it as wide as I'd like, but oh well.  You get the idea.  This will save me 2 hours of blogging them one by one :)

The stars aligned so perfectly that the 90 shots would look very over-done if I did any more editing to them. Here are a few more that I wanted to see bigger on blog, however:

Kayla + Josh

Remember Kayla's graduation pictures here?  I'm so honored to capture the next big step in her life - congratulations Kayla!  You chose a very photogenic guy - he was so great to work with, look at that winning smile.  Best of luck and happiness to you both!

It's a sad day

To the senseless defacers of a beautiful historical building, as well as a much-loved photo spot:

Shame on you.

In addition, I feel sorry that your hearts and souls are so empty that this sort of activity brings you entertainment.

We had some good times.  Your beauty will live on in a zillion photographs, taken by me and many others.

Because I begged them

I drove by this library spot late one afternoon and have been thinking about it ever since.  I have been stalking Kendall (my sister and neighbor) with texts like "Uh, want to do family pictures thisafternoon?" or "Hey, how about tomorrow?"  They gave in to my pleading and I loved the result.

Tessa

Alternate title:  I want her furniture.  

We had a blast in the Provo Orchard, catching red apples in season - she came prepared to make the best of it!  Shoots are always even more fun when time and preparation have gone in to them - Tessa & my Aunt Erin didn't disappoint.  L.O.V.E!
