2010 Wrap Up....

Another year has past and I have so many great memories from it. I thought about doing a end of the year wrap up of some of my favorite photos from each session or wedding, but it would have taken me so long to edit down my favorites per session and compile them in together.....then I thought about the photos Marty and I get of each other each year at different weddings and some sessions as well as just some of my personal photos. So I thought I'd put together a little bit of that as a send off to 2010!

I love the fact that I get to work side by side my best friend, my husband at weddings..I couldn't pick a better partner. It's always fun to go to each wedding and come home at the end of a hard days work and look over our images together....and we always find humor in the couple of photos we snag of each other.

Fair play....

This past summer we took a small break and went to Chicago again. I don't get a lot of time to just take personal photos for my own enjoyment, so I tried to get a little of that time in for myself while we were on break.

I have always just loved shooting things as I see it.....be it my grandma's hands...she wears her wedding bands, my late grandfather's wedding band and rings that are special to her all on that hand...to our son's ornery grin that I can't get enough of. Or just the simple things that catch my eye.

This is my Uncle Jon, he's just turned 56 year's old! He's a hoot! I don't think I've gotten enough photos of him and that's something I need to work on...

And then of course just getting photos of my two favorite guys....it's fun for me watching this Father-Son relationship.

Ahh, the rare occasion that I allow myself to be photographed. Believe it or not, I'm not a fan of being on the other side of the camera anymore....just not my comfort zone...but Marty managed to get some photos of me this fall just relaxing in my favorite spot, in the country. Fresh air, nothing but the sound of the wind, and an occasional farm animal....that's my paradise.

In November I took off for a little trip to Las Vegas for a week and left the boys behind...that was a big step for me, not my favorite thing to do without them, but it gave me a chance to vegg out a little, visit with some of my old friends from when I lived there, as well as doing some business. One of my favorite spots when I lived there is Red Rock Canyon....I spent many a day out there and still have yet to see it all..and I always enjoy getting to see the wild Donkey's that roam about the desert. Always a delight.

I know some like to glamorize the idea of being photographers, and while it does have it's perks, it's hard work. I love my job and can happily say it's the first job I've ever had that I don't want to quit. But it is a job and we put a lot of ourselves into it.

I love this image of Ephram and my grandma, his Gi-Gi....it'll be one of

those favorites for year's to come.

So that is just a sneek peek into some of our personal photos from the last year....I am looking forward to 2011 and getting to know our upcoming bride's and groom's. I can't wait to get back into the swing of things with all these new babies that are coming in the coming months, an so on.....lots to look forward too. So thanks for checking back. Hope you'll keep coming back in 2011! From our family to your family....Happy New Year!

Mason Turns 1!

Oh how I love getting the opportunities to work with my clients over and over again. And when you get to start at the love story, a wedding and then baby, it's just icing on the cake as you get to watch their kiddo's grow up. Mason is just that! He turned one in November and is looking ever so like his daddy. I got to spend a little time with him and his parents recently at their home in Powell to do some updated photos of him.

Mason was walking around like a pro and always had that cute little grin on his face.

Mason's mommy, Tracy had such cute outfits for him...he was working his little hat.

It was good seeing you all again and I'm so glad that I've been able to share in some of

the great moments in your lives!

End Of 2010 Catch Up.........

Whew........believe it or not, I have missed blogging.......but this fall whipped me. I was so caught up in sessions that I had to put blogging on the back burner for some time. Too long, but it had to be done to keep the progression going. So it's now the end of 2010, so what better time to do a little catching up with the final months.

I really had a lot of fun this fall. I had some really fun time's with clients and getting to know them better or meeting new one's. Got to work with some great families and play with the kiddo's.

I can honestly say, I never tire of my job. I love what I do and I am so thankful for each experience I get to have. It's just as fun for me to look back over a year and see what all I've done.

And of course the hectic fall season is quickly followed by the holiday rush....

This fall also took me to Las Vegas to photograph some of the beautiful faces of St. Jude's Ranch. I wish I could share with you those images, it was such a highlight of my year.

So 2010 is coming to a close, I'm a little sad to see it go, but gearing up for the year to come and excited for what it's going to bring. I'm looking forward to the winter slow down so I can re-vamp some things for the business and prepare for 2011...
