a sweet family for you to meet...

Ellisfamily.jpg
I was honored when Krista, a longtime friend and fellow photographer (Krista Ellis Photography) asked me to take their family photos.  Bill and I have known Krista & Ben for years... before our first homes, when our dogs were our first "kids", through pregnancy (Megan was born 4 months after my Noah), to now, as we both get ready for those little babies to enter 2nd grade!

Ellismegan.jpgElliscouple.jpgMegan is a sweetheart, and it was so fun to goof off with her and hear her giggle!

Thank you Krista, Ben & Megan for a fun session & fantastic dinner afterward!  I think my family was a bit jealous that I got to hang out with you all night!  :)

Everyone worries about having their family picture taken when they have children.  Myself included... I have 3 rambunctious boys, and you never know what is going to happen when you ask them to sit still and behave.

So how do you get a nice family picture where your children aren't flying past you as you wearily smile at the camera?  Well, you have your assistant bounce a soccer ball on your head right before you take the picture!

ok... it was an accident, the ball slipped, and we're still friends... but it worked & I may use that trick down the road if necessary!  :)  
The best way to have a relaxed, fun portrait session with kids is... to let them be kids.  Mom & Dad in this session knew we might have a hard time getting the boys to sit for a picture, and let me know ahead of time.  They had a great idea to let the boys play soccer for a while to help burn off some energy... and it gave the kids some time to warm up to me as I dodged the ball and snapped a few fun shots while they played.

Cute family!  I love photography and I want my clients to enjoy their portrait sessions as much as I do.  I'll do my best to engage the kids, ask questions, tell a story, make funny faces and be silly... soccer ball to the head, whatever... 
just relax and enjoy the time with your family and I'll capture the memories for you.

Thanks Kay & Leo for a fun session with your adorable boys!

Today my twins, Nate & Hayden turn 4.

twins2.jpg
Two brothers, born 4 minutes apart... 
Nate was born first.  He had set himself in that position early in the pregnancy, and was not going to give it up.  Hayden flipped around my ribs for nine months, earning the middle name Jett.  Nate still has a small stubborn streak, and Hayden sometimes runs so fast it is questionable if his feet are touching the ground.

twins3.jpg
Nate is... silly, loves to belly laugh & goof off.  He is athletic and adventurous, and loves to hike, run & ride his bike... fast!

twins4.jpg
He is at times serious & thoughtful, passionate about Bingo (his blankie), and trains... oh, does he love trains.  He's sweet & cuddly, and loves his family and friends.  
He's a mama's boy.

twins6.jpg
Hayden is...
the giggler, he has a laugh that will make you want to join him.  He loves to build with legos, and eat cheese (his Wisconsin roots?).  He doesn't like peanut butter.  He is ready to start playing T-ball, he can't wait to get out on the field and play baseball like his big brother!

twins8.jpg
Sometime's he is a bit shy.

twins9.jpg
He is a sweet charmer with a killer smile, and has a great imagination.  

twins10.jpgoff you go... go and be 4!


twins11.jpg
I love these little guys!

Banner met Harry in a restaurant in Italy and they fell in love.  True story, and it's a cool one.  More on those two coming soon...  

chairlift.jpg
Jump ahead a few years later, many trips overseas and a move to Utah, and they are married and enjoying being a family together with Banner's two boys.  A rock-climbing, snowboarding, mountain biking, camping, gourmet cooking family.  Don't be jealous... they're very nice.  Banner, Harry, Van & Cael... now you can be jealous of their incredibly cool names.

Van & Cael : rambunctious sweet mischievous adorable adventurous brothers

Ok, I am your husband and sometimes I don't realize what talent I have in my midst.
The color and light in these photos is amazing. The way the people just jump out of such beautiful natural settings.
