Stuff I meant to post...

Two Years Ago...

Time is a crazy thing when you are raising kids. Sometimes it seems like every day is the same thing as the day before. Same wake up and get the kids out the door routine, same homework, same dinner chores. And then you see a picture like this and it stops you and makes you realize how fast time flies.

Day 2 - Winter Sky

It is SO cold here!

There are only 28 days in February....

...so I am going to try try TRY my best to post a picture a day for the month. I am even giving myself some lee-way by saying that it doesn't necessarily have to be taken that day. Or by me.
So here is a collage of OUR family photos taken in November by the AMAZING Kristin Conk


I am so in love with them! The people AND the pictures :)

Anyway, if you stop by, comment please! It will help me keep this up for 27 more days :)

A little fishy

This is my sweet friend, Lacie's family. Her hubby loves to fish, so we decided to do this shoot at the lake. Other than the extra bright sunshine (I was hoping for a little cloud cover) the day was perfect. The kids were adorable and cooperative. Even the wildlife decided to do us a favor - while I was shooting mom & daughter, hubby was casting a little and this big old fish decided he wanted to get in on the pictures!

Thanks, Spence Family! This was the perfect family shoot - a beautiful family having fun doing what they love with the people they love! You're the best!

Elko & Spring Creek Senior Photography - LINDSEY!

Lindsey agreed to be my Senior Representative at Spring Creek High School, and I am so glad I got the chance to hang out with her and her mom for awhile. What a sweetie!We nearly got blown away and had to cut this session short, so look for more of this gorgeous girl!

Ten on Tuesday

Originally, I thought that I would try to take 10 pictures every Tuesday. But then I realized that I do pretty much the same things every Tuesday. So I changed my mind, and now 10 on Tuesday will be about the whole week. Cuz, really, how many pictures of me exercising, going to the park, and getting a pepsi do you really want to see?

We had so much fun with KC & Lynnette over the 4th of July weekend! It was a super rushed trip, but the kids had a blast with their cousins, and it was great to see their new house, and Lynnette's cute baby belly.

These two are so cute together - they were joined at the hip almost from the minute we got there. I hope they stay close growing up!

I really need a lens with a wider aperture to shoot fireworks! :P

This adorable child is lucky to still be alive. This week she checked "throwing Mom's wedding ring in the garbage" and "dumping an entire bottle of nail polish on my bed" off of her list of "Rotten Things to do Before I Turn Five".

No, I didn't find the ring. I am hoping that she was making it up, and that it will turn up around here sometime!

Justin has been borrowing my camera a lot lately. He is funny - sometimes he wants me to teach him about taking pictures, and sometimes he just rolls his eyes when I try to tell him stuff, but I guess he must listen to some of it. I was telling him why full sun is not the best light to take pictures in usually - I thought he did pretty good with the lighting on this shot!

I am kinda loving the whole translucent thing lately. This is a silly shot, but I loved the light coming through the colorful straws - haha!

This is my friend and exercise/ dieting partner, Lacie. Between the two of us, we have lost over a hundred pounds in the last year! Woo hoo!

I am working on some big changes with my photo business. I revamped my logo a bit. Any opinions?

Just a shot of my handsome hubby in some pretty sunset light. He hates it when I take pictures of him :/

Being silly this morning - they wanted me to draw all of our family on their fingers. Dallin was really concerned about the tallest fingers being the tallest people, and Alyssa wanted Zack on one of hers, then her finger and Zack's finger played until her bath washed them off.

Well there you have it folks - ten random moments from my crazy life this week. Tune in next week for the next exciting episode :)
