Park City

>> 12/22/2010 – Family Groups

So, it turns out that Park City, UT at 2:00 in the afternoon in the end of November is quite chilly. Down right cold, I'd say. And then... the sun went down!! Brrrr. Luckily Heidi had just picked up a some darling peacoats (not pictured) for her kiddos at the Old Navy Black Friday sale. There were a few rosie noses and froze toes, but we made it through and then warmed up with some pizza and and hot chocolate downtown. These two kids have so much personality and were so much fun to horse around with. And yes, his tie matches her Matilda Jane dress. Nice touch, Heidi!!

Love the sass.

Aren't they a stunning couple?

And to finish off the session, Heidi pulled out her handknitted hats (she is one talented lady!!!). Snow + ski lift + knitted hats + adorable family = Merry Christmas!!

...and You Thought She was Pretty in Color

Wow and wow. I love doing sessions of girls at this age, because, in all reality, girls NEED pretty pictures of themselves. They really do.

Adventures at the Trainyard

>> 12/20/2010 – Family Groups

This baby girl was 3 1/2 months old for this session. The men at the Nevada Southern Railway were kind enough to open up a few of the train cars for us (on a weekday!) and let us explore, which Tanner loved! Tanner sure is a cutie - check out his lashes on Image #3!

Too cute!

So, if you can't tell, this is my favorite action. I love the old school photo look.

All I Want For Christmas....

>> 12/14/2010 – Baby

This darling babe is 4 months old. I love the stages of a newborn! This pose is perfect for this age because she can hold herself up, yet she can't crawl away!

A fantastic friend gave her this hand-knitted bonnet with a matching cardigan, and she's nearly grown out of it!!! Seriously, babies grow way too fast.
All she wants are her two front teeth!! I think we've entered the teething phase. :(

Loren

>> 12/07/2010 – Gals, Seniors, Utah

Meet my niece Loren. Yes, she is that beautiful. I know, pick your jaws up off the floor now. After doing her family pics earlier in the day, Loren was still dressed when the sun started to go down behind the mountain. I looked out the window and saw the fantastic frosty-ness and dragged her back outside with me. Lucky for me, she didn't complain! :)

Wow. This last image knocks me over everytime I see it. Thank you, Loren, for standing in the snow with me!!!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

A few little cuties from my Utah sessions...

And I can't wait to show you tomorrow's Beauty!!!

The Santa Train is Comin'!

>> 12/03/2010 – Children

Hey, just a little shout out for the Nevada State Railroad Museum! They were so kind to open a few trains for us during a portrait session and this little guy just loved it! Most kids love the trains, but especially so this weekend! It's the SANTA TRAIN!!! Actually, this weekend and next - Santa & Mrs. Clause will be on the train to visit with the kiddos, and the train will be decorated with Christmas cheer. Get your tickets first thing in the morning - they sell out FAST!

Baby Makes Three

>> 12/01/2010 – Baby

Meet Sam. Sam was about 2.5 weeks old for this portrait session. Sam's mom and dad have a gorgeous bedroom where we spent most of our time. Sam is a pretty agreeable kid. He was awake for some shots, but also went to sleep for a few. He let us pose him and change things up without to much fuss. And he was kind enough not to poo on anyone, or anything, and luckily we had moved out to the tile when he decided he needed to pee.... all over mom! but not on the carpet (yay for tile!) or the bed (where we started the session). After these last few babies I've done, I am pleasantly surprised when things stay clean! :)

Sigh. I love this quiet moment.
