{R&J} Cooper Wedding

Back in January, I had the pleasure of taking engagement pictures of this wonderful couple!  I knew {R} when I was growing up and I was so honored to get to take their engagements!
I wasn't there "official" wedding photography but a large number of my friends and family were in attendance and I wanted to remember this great day.

Baby {S}

I'm back with more of this little angel. She might have been a little hard to console during the shoot but we still got some cute ones!

Summer Photo Shoots 2012 Options

I have a number of, what I hope will be really fun, ideas floating around in my head.  This summer I'm hoping to do 3 separate shoots. Two with adult models and one with children. I thought since some people seemed interested, I would put the third one to a vote.

I already have one pinned down for sure and that one will involve children.  I'm pretty excited for that one already.

On to the voting:

The first one: Imagine people in white.  Now imagine them covered in paint.  I have a couple ideas for fun places to shoot these and it will be very urban.  I'm thinking that this one will involve about 4 people.

The second one:  The Salt Flats.  In my mind, it is a 1900's picnic.  The time period might change depending on the costumes that I can find.

The third one:  Journey into Childhood.  I'm thinking mud pies, tree forts, chasing butterflies and anything else that might come to mind.  I thought for this one, it would be fun to have my models think of different things that they loved to do as children.

If you want to have your voice hear, go to the RIGHT of this page and scroll down till you find the poll.  If you have ideas for shoots that you want to run passed me, leave me a message in the comments.  Thanks so much!

Sneak Preview: Baby {S}

I'm experimenting with newborn photography on any 2 week old that I can get a hold of and this little one was a pleasure to get a hold of.

Baby {S} was such a good sport about sleeping in a hat box.  And doesn't she look cute doing it?

Again, I want to say that this family is A RIOT!!!  I loved hanging out with them and their hilarious personalities made for some great candid moments.

I know that they are going to be great parents because they love each other and no matter what, they have FUN with each other.  I can't wait to see their little baby (but it is going to be via Facebook since they live in California)!  He is going to be the luckiest boy in the world.

Sneak Preview: The {P} Family

This beautiful woman that you are about to see used to be a very wonderful girl who I went to Church with in Louisiana.  Our families went to different parts of the globe and that was the end of the story, right?  Wrong!  Through the wonderful world of Facebook we became friends again.  We started talking more and more.  Finally she came to Utah to attend a wedding a relative of hers and we made time to meet up and take maternity photos.

It was such a wonderful surprise to find that she was just as wonderful (maybe more so) as I remembered!  Her and her husband are fantastic people who have an energy that draws people in.   I had so much fun with them and the love for each other simply poured into the camera.

Here are a couple photos to tide you over!

(02) I couldn't have planned this.  While we were walking {B} pulled his wife in for a quick little kiss and the sun was in a perfect position for magic.

(03) Another picture I couldn't plan.  {B} started climbing and {J} refused to be left behind, no matter how pregnant she is!

The {C} Family

I had so much fun with this family taking my first shot at maternity photos.  They are such a sweet and loving couple and I'm so happy that I got to know them while they were going to my Church.  I hope that they enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

I can't wait until their little daughter arrives so that I can show you, what will surely be, a very adorable baby.
