Merry Christmas!

Girls!

2011-10-07T23:21:00.000-07:00

I've been trying to step back a bit from my subjects - trying to get more contextual shots. The hard part is that I am always pulled back in by the eyes.

2011-09-28T09:33:00.000-07:00

Brothers! Both have beautiful eyes. A gift from Mom and Dad (my blog is spacing weirdly).

BamBam and Fam

I heart these peeps.

Tie-Dye and Sunglasses (ah, Summertime)

Here's a peek! More to come. Sorry I'm so slow!

It's hard to believe that little J is already one year old. I have photographed him several times in the last year and he has been a very cooperative subject. I'm liking how these inside, natural light shots turned out. Happy Birthday, little man!

I think this first one might be my favorite. Yours?

2011-03-13T22:35:00.000-07:00

Sneak Peek:
Overshooting has some disadvantages - How to narrow it down?!! These girlies had so many expressions ranging from sweet to mischievous. With those eyes and those eyelashes it's hard not to focus in tight on their faces. They cooperated with several outfit and bow changes in spite of the slightly chilly weather. Girls must get used to that sort of thing.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Carver!

You're a silly little bear and not so little. XOXO.

2010-11-30T23:26:00.000-08:00

We caught these pictures just as the weather was turning cold. It was a bit nippy out, but I'm sure glad we got some outside pictures as well as the inside shots.

Boys always get the great lashes.

Mommy made her polka dot shoes. I adore!

Santa Baby, could you be any sweeter? I think not.

Thanks for your patience, Mommies! I'm one slow Mommy around here.

2010-11-29T21:35:00.000-08:00

Nine Months. Such a great age to photograph. They don't run away and it's not hard to bribe with a few snacks. Good thing mom packed the puffs! These brightly colored leaves make me miss fall. Winter wouldn't be so bad if it weren't so cold and snowy and winter-like!!

I dig the mohawk and the serious face.

The Froggy Prince. Did I mention that I love a costume?! Uh, yeah!

2010-11-21T23:45:00.001-08:00

Once upon a time, a young man and woman fell in love . . .

They had three fine children

One still single

Others married,

And had a few kids

Who like to wrestle Uncle Ben

Or anyone else, for that matter.

Thanks J Family. I was smiling so big when I left the session that a stranger stopped me and said, "You look like you're having a good day." "Yes, I am!! was my reply.

2010-11-10T22:24:00.000-08:00

A few more:

This one goes in the outtakes section. My camera didn't grab focus, but I thought this was too fun to not share.

2010-11-03T22:14:00.000-07:00

Brown-eyed boys. My kids have blue and green eyes. But I could get used to staring into big chocolately-brown ones. Hmm, chocolate. Here's a peek for Iliana. It's true, you and Dave make some handsome boys.

2010-10-09T21:53:00.001-07:00

Cousin Ava rivals Beckham in the blue eyes department. She's just two and a half weeks older. I'm glad my kiddos have cousins nearby.

Why so serious, little babyface?

2010-10-04T18:58:00.001-07:00

Trick-or-Treat! Cousin Carver is so sweet.

It's been a while. I know, I'm a slacker. Look for lots of posts coming soon.

The weather was beyond beautiful for October 1. I wish it would go on and on. It was so nice to escape for a little while to take some pictures of two gorgeous kids, both of which have more hair than my kids will in a lifetime. Ellie was one of my very first photography "test subjects." Her little bro is at one of my favorite ages to capture - sitting up, alert, smiley, but not taking off too quickly.

Call soon if you're interested in an appointment 801-822-9999. Gotta capture the last moments of fall before winter hits cold and fast. Also, get those costumes ready! Halloween is my favorite.

It's close to impossible for me to narrow down the favorites when I shoot kids. I just love the variety of emotions and faces they naturally expose. For example,
The silly:

The serious:

2010-03-15T21:30:00.000-07:00

Love those kisser lips.

2010-03-15T08:24:00.000-07:00

Know anyone with experience designing a Wordpress blog? I need one.

2010-02-19T20:51:00.000-08:00

SO BEHIND!
I've got about a million pictures to edit. I got an iMac a while ago and I am just now getting things figured out. Someday I will be a Photoshop Ninja, really - that's going to be my new daily affirmation.
Meanwhile, why are boys always blessed with the best eyelashes? No fair, but really adorable.

2010-02-19T20:46:00.000-08:00

Sweet Stuff!
Benjamin was digging this gigantic sucker that his mom brought along for bribery.

2010-02-19T20:29:00.001-08:00

I was SO nervous about taking pics of newborn baby R. It's been a long time since I've done a newborn shoot and well, let's just say that babies make me nervous, especially because I'm going to have one of my own in three months. Little R was more cooperative than I expected and big sister was too! Big sigh of relief.

2010-01-20T21:08:00.001-08:00

These pictures just shout "Merry Christmas!" Lindy called me last minute to get some quick family pictures. I was a little concerned because the snow was falling and the sky was gray - just not sure if I could produce anything worthwhile. So so so glad I went over because these pictures make me smile. While I was editing, I couldn't help but say out loud to myself, "These are so cute."

Baby's blue eyes just pop out at you - adorable (not to mention his model-like parentage).

Evidence of our "working conditions"

Can you tell this kid is adored? I can.

2009-12-02T22:06:00.000-08:00

You always worry this time of year whether you'll find a day that coordinates with everyone's schedules that is also sunny and pleasant. Well we lucked out last week. And I lucked out taking this family's pictures. They were fun and easy-going and cooperative (no toddlers to wrangle this time).

A little jumping fun.

2009-11-16T22:34:00.000-08:00

I am Woman . . .
This is one woman that is easy to admire. Mindi is so full of talent, but the thing I appreciate most is her confidence. She doesn't seem to allow insecurities to slow her down in anything. If she wants to try something new, she just moves forward. She has so many things going at once, yet she never seems frazzled or overwhelmed. Check out her amazing food blog. It even makes me want to dabble in a few new recipes.

2009-11-06T21:02:00.000-08:00

One Little Monkey Sitting in a Tree . . .

Take a look at those lips and that little dimple. Cutest monkey ever!

2009-11-04T18:07:00.000-08:00

Halloween may be over, but if you still want to capture your cuties in costume give me a call 801.822.9999. The post-Halloween Special is quite a deal. Five pictures on disk plus 4 x 6 prints of each and one 8 x 10 of your choice. Only $45!!

Sadie is quite the charming fairy. The weather could not be nicer this week. Let's enjoy it while we can.

2009-10-29T21:46:00.000-07:00

A few more . . .
Little "R" may not have been in the "model mood" for this session, but I don't think you can tell in these shots.

2009-10-24T18:24:00.000-07:00

My friend and neighbor, Mindi, has been voted client of the year! Thanks so much for supporting me in my photography.

The message: Hold on tight, Mom and Dad, it's going to be a wild ride.

2009-10-05T22:03:00.001-07:00

Jesse has a great smile.

2009-10-02T21:57:00.000-07:00

This kid was such a trooper. We hauled him through sticker weeds, laid him down in the itchy grass, and tried to get him to sit up on his own (he's only 4 months). He never complained.

2009-10-01T22:33:00.000-07:00

Hudson thinks he's a rockstar so we'll go along with it.

2009-09-29T22:36:00.000-07:00

Estela has the absolute best baby. He is the sweetest thing. And Estela deserves it.

2009-09-28T20:16:00.001-07:00

A big thanks to my sister-in-law, Ashley, for being willing to model for me. Can you believe the color of her eyes? They blow me away.

2009-09-25T20:44:00.000-07:00

2009-09-24T21:52:00.001-07:00

Boys will be boys. Ray was content as long as he had a stick in his hands.

2009-09-23T21:35:00.000-07:00

I actually took this picture what feels like a million years ago. Claire is such a cutie. I'm sure she'll be breaking hearts left and right in a few years.

2009-09-22T20:35:00.000-07:00

Is it pretty obvious where all the willing models come from? Please, be a model yourself. Give us a call at 801.822.9999

2009-09-21T00:01:00.000-07:00

I feel so blessed that my kids get to be near cousins. How cute is this Lola squeeze?

2009-09-18T21:05:00.001-07:00

My niece Sydney got baptized this summer. Carrie did her hair. Glad we got some pictures to document this special time for her.

2009-09-17T22:05:00.000-07:00

Holden was generally uncooperative during this shoot as per usual, but he was intent on blowing this weed to bits.

2009-09-16T21:15:00.000-07:00

Yay, Reese is feeling better. We went out tonight to capture a few more pictures. I love how Reese pushed the plate towards us to display the utterly destroyed cake.

2009-09-15T21:43:00.000-07:00

While working on Reese's b-day pics, I realized that I never did post anything here about Hudson's big 5 birthday celebration.

Hudson wanted a dragon cake. Darin called one of his co-worker's wives who works in the bakery at Macey's the morning of Hudson's birthday. I was blown away with her creativity and the cake only cost something like $13.

2009-09-14T20:29:00.000-07:00

A few of the details.
Warning: this post may make you hungry.

Mindi made 75 of these rainbow cupcakes. I think my family ate half of them. Yum.

2009-09-11T16:39:00.000-07:00

The remains of the day . . .
I have so many pictures to post from Reese's party. Stay tuned.

2009-09-10T19:52:00.001-07:00

Happy Birthday, Reese! Unfortunately, Reese was the only one who didn't get to enjoy the party. She was sick, poor thing. And poor Mom. It's hard to put so much effort into something and then not have things go according to plan. C'est la vie. Mindi, the party was amazing. A big thanks to you and Arnold from everyone in the hood. Get better, Reese!

2009-09-09T12:31:00.000-07:00

I love that their undershirts have monkeys on them. How perfect is that for boys?

2009-09-08T20:35:00.000-07:00

Sleeping babes are perfect. I adore the little fingers.

2009-09-07T11:28:00.001-07:00

The vestiges of summer. . . Why can't we rewind the days of popsicles, swimming pools and long hours of daylight. Check out the blue eyes on these boys.

2009-09-04T20:18:00.001-07:00

See Janie smile.

2009-09-03T17:53:00.000-07:00

My college friend was in town this summer and I was so happy to capture her and her adorable kids. Here is little Megs. She's irresistible.

Bridget's eyes are killer.

This picture makes me happy. Lee turned on the music and we were rocking out.

You can see where Bridget got her beautiful eyes.

2009-09-02T07:48:00.000-07:00

My handsome bro needed a few pictures for an interview this week. Does he read Future Lawyer?

2009-09-01T13:10:00.000-07:00

For the two people still checking out CBCG Photography, get ready for some updates! And tell your friends. You can expect to see new pics every day (M-F) throughout September. Halloween is coming up. If you are a costume-lover like we are be sure to call for an appointment. 801.822.9999

Reese is giving the thumbs up on her photo shoot. How adorable is that?

2009-03-25T14:57:00.000-07:00

Little Arley is nine months old. She was cooperative, but if put on the floor she could escape pretty quickly. Her mommy calls her current smile her "monkey face." I love to capture every silly, sweet, funny expression that kids make.

2009-03-21T22:24:00.000-07:00

My niece was here today for a dance competition. I couldn't resist taking a few pictures of her in her makeup.

2009-03-19T16:36:00.000-07:00

Preview: I think six month-olds are my favorite. They are adorable and they are not yet mobile. Reese was a perfect little model - lots of smiles and personality. Here's one from today. More coming soon.

2009-03-10T18:50:00.001-07:00

He's my nephew so I know I'm biased, but this kid's sweetness is seriously killing me. His eyes and his lips are perfection. There were a ga-zillion great pics of him.

2009-03-01T09:05:00.000-08:00

2009-02-19T21:07:00.000-08:00

2009-01-31T15:11:00.000-08:00

These kids couldn't have been more cooperative. Brother was such a cheeser - no need to tell him to smile. I loved it.

2009-01-31T14:48:00.001-08:00

While she's all serious in this first one, C is full of personality. It's fun to capture some silliness too.
