Growing up

2012-01-21T19:08:00.000-08:00

This little beauty turned 3 a while ago and I was able to take her birthday pictures. We went to the performing arts center in town and she had a ball running around and finding new places to take pictures. I just love her red hair and pretty soon she will be a big sister! So excited for her and her family.

One cold shoot!!!

2012-01-21T18:57:00.001-08:00

This little family had to brave some cold wind for these pictures! It was so windy but overall the kids did really well and the pictures turned out much better then mom or I hoped for! Needless to say we shot fast and furious but it worked!

A house full of boys

2011-11-21T15:11:00.001-08:00

Look at all these handsome boys! This is one of my friends I met while serving in our young womens and she is a lady after my own heart! She is so great I just love her! I can't get over how cute all of her boys are, check out the cheek's on the baby! Don't you just want to squish them, We took them to the park for the session and I love how their green pops against the rocks. Awesome pictures of an awesome family!

These girls

2011-10-27T09:19:00.000-07:00

Look at all these beautiful girls!! I was asked to do a photo shoot for one of our local young womens groups and it was so fun! They had so many fun ideas and had so much energy! One of these lucky girls is moving to London for a year to live with her sister, can I say jealous much! I love all the cute shots we got and am glad to so so many good girls having fun and enjoying life!

Mr and Mrs

2011-10-26T14:46:00.001-07:00

Remember Erin and Travis? Well they made it official and I must say their day turned out great. The weather was perfect and even thought the temple was crazy busy we were still able to get so many beautiful shots. They are such a fun couple I'm so glad I was able to be a part of it!

Birthday Boy

2011-09-17T08:16:00.001-07:00

This little guy just hit the big 2 mark! He is a little bundle of energy and loves being outside so we headed to the park for his birthday shoot. He is so expressive I love how he wrinkles his noes up. He loved being able to run and run. I'm not sure how mom and grandma felt about that but it worked out, all the pictures turned out adorable!

Beautiful Family

2011-09-17T07:51:00.001-07:00

I was got to take my dear friends family pics a few weeks ago. She said she wanted to do them in the feild so I took them to this place near part of the Pocatello greenbelt. It turned out perfect!! I love how the tall grass complemented their clothes! And the painted chairs they brought as props were so fun. Love what I do!!!

A new Eternal Family

2011-09-01T15:58:00.000-07:00

I'd like to introduce one of the newest eternal families, the Romriells. They were able to be sealed as a family the begging of August and I couldn't be more happy for them. It was such a sweet experience to see this family all in white and just glowing! The next week we were able to take family pictures with grandpa and great grandma. They turned out so great! So so happy for this family.

He put a ring on it !!

2011-08-24T00:12:00.001-07:00

Oh this is such a fun post for me! This is my sister in law and her new hubby. They were married July 16 2011. I have never taken so many pictures for one person ( besides myself!) before. We did their engagements up City Creek trail because they run there together, sweet huh? I think they are so pretty and fun. They were so laid back about the wedding so it was very easy to please them and they were so relaxed at the wedding all of the shots turned out great. I'm so very happy for them and am glad I'm not the only in-law in the family any more!

Fun fun fun ! !

2011-07-18T15:40:00.000-07:00

I'd like you to meet Travis and Erin. They are getting married soon(watch for their wedding pics!) They were so fun and up for anything: climbing trees, wadding in the water, whatever I asked them to do. It totally paid off, they got a ton of great pictures!

Dancing Dolls

2011-07-06T22:49:00.000-07:00

I was lucky enough to get to take the pictures for my daughters dance studio this year. I was a little nervous because we decided to do the pictures during dress rehersal so we weren't taking up a week of practice and the moms would only have to get the girls ready once. It went so smooth!! All of the girls were so excited to be all dressed up and have make-up on getting smiles was a peice of cake!The theme of the recital was Wonderful World of Dancing Dolls.It was so fun to see all the adorable costumes and I was busy doing pics so the recital was completly new to me!

My daughter just loves her teacher,Jessica. She does such a great job with the girls. If anyone needs an awesome dance studio for their child, Enchanted Dancers is the place for you! If you would like some information contact me and I'll hook you up!

I had so much fun I can not wait till next year! Enjoy all these dancing dolls!

Sammy

2011-05-09T10:34:00.000-07:00

I'd like to introduce Sammy! He is my friends 2nd little boy and he is so cute! We had a great time doing these family pictures. Luke, the big brother, is such a ham and totally loves his baby brother. I love how sweet newborn babies are. They are such a cute little family!!

Married!!

2011-05-09T08:29:00.000-07:00

I was so honored to be able to shoot this wedding. I used to work with Hope. She is so pretty and so nice, I just love her! She got married at the court house and that was a fun new place for me to shoot.I love trying new things and we got some amazing detail shots. She said this was the only time all three of her boys had ever been in ties so we made sure to capture that! The pictures are beautiful just like her and her family.

What I've been up too!

2011-05-09T08:13:00.000-07:00

Here are a few shoots I've been meaning to post about! This cute little family needed their pictures taken but the day of they were all sick. Instead of reschedualing we forged ahead and I can't belive how great all the pictures turned out! You would never even know they were sick! The next family have been my friends literally my whole life! I just love these people so it's always fun to work with them. We shot their pictures at a funeral home but I love them! It's such a pretty place. I can't belive how their family has grown! I also was able to shoot some seinor pictures and this lovely girl had tons of great locations picked out. She was a natural in front of the camera. It was a super fun shoot! I love what I do!!

Heres to 2010

2011-01-24T10:42:00.000-08:00

Well I guess I was too busy taking pictures to remember to blog about them! I got lots of experiance taking headshots, more senoirs and of course more families! I love that all of my shoots turned out so great. All of them are different but so fun. Thanks to all my clients who make my job so fun and easy! Here's to another year of capturing wonderful memories!

Tari and Family

2010-12-10T15:58:00.000-08:00

This was such a fun family shoot! I've known Tari for awhile now and have meet her mom and sister before but never her brothers. Her uncle and cousin were there too. We went to this awesome farm here in town and they were great!! They even encouraged us to climb up on the tractor! We were able to get some fun shots!

Miss Stella

2010-11-15T21:18:00.001-08:00

Little Miss Stella is growing up so fast I can't believe we are already doing her 9 month picture's!! She was such a good sport today going all over and trying all sorts of new things. I must say her effort paid off! I just love her big smile and the way it lights up her whole face!!

Way over due!!

2010-11-04T22:26:00.000-07:00

This post is WAY overdue!! This is my first wedding and I have to say I think it turned out great! That is why it's so late, there were so many awesome pictures that every time I would think about picking the ones for this post I would get overwhelmed. I finally just decided to get it done. This is my sweet friend Bethany and her now husband Dan. When we were shooting their engagments I remember looking at her and thinking she'd never looked so pretty, and that happy beautiful glow continued through each shoot. You can tell they are so happy and ready to start their life together. It was so fun to get to be a part of such a wonderful thing. Love ya Beth!!

5 Generations

2010-08-30T08:55:00.000-07:00

My good friend asked me to go to Salt Lake and take some pictures for her Grandmother, 5 generation photos. How cool is that? Her little girls have their grandma, great grandma and a great great grandma. I think that is so special that they can know these family members. It was a beautiful day spent with many beautiful women!

Her last year!!

2010-08-30T07:58:00.000-07:00

This is my friend who is more like a little sister to me than just a friend and I can not believe she is starting her last year of high school already!! She is an amazing young lady, so fun and full of life I just love her. And I have to say that her pictures turned out pretty amazing too. What a gorgeous girl!

6 Months already

2010-08-12T12:54:00.001-07:00

This is my friends little guy, Bridger. Isn't he handsome? He was such a good sport sitting in all that grass. He had just learned to sit up on his own, so that worked out well for these pics! It was such a nice day and I love how bright all the colors are! Happy late b-day Bridger!!

Here we go again!!

2010-07-12T15:55:00.001-07:00

Well in true fashion, I have let my blog get behind again! Life just gets away from you sometimes, none the less I have had some very good shoots. I'm very lucky to have had such fun clients, as always! So here is a sampling of what I've been up to latley, hope everyone is having a wonderful summer.

Stella

2010-04-22T18:59:00.000-07:00

This sweet heart is one of my dear friends newest addition, Stella. These are her 3 month pictures. She was is such a good mood this day! So smiley and was cooing and cooing, I loved it. She is such a doll and I know her family loves her to pieces.

Updated Finally!!!

2010-01-21T14:28:00.000-08:00

Well to say that I'm behind would be a huge understatement, I just don't know what got into me! As you will see in the next post I have had some amazing shoots the last few months. I have gotten to do so much from fab maternity, more families, a senior shoot and I just did my first set of engagement pictures. Everyone was so great and I am so pleased with how they turned out! Lets just hope from now on I can keep up with my blog! :P So on with the pictures, enjoy!!

Halie Bug and family

2009-08-29T16:48:00.000-07:00

These lucky parents just added a precious little girl to their already darling family. They were a fun family to get to spend some time with. Ethan, the big brother, is such a little stud..... watch out girly girls! It was great playing with all the different bows and outfit Halie had, what a sweetie. You can tell that she is very loved and has a wonderful family.

Sisters

2009-08-29T16:28:00.000-07:00

These two cute sisters are putting together a suprise for their parents annivesary and needed some fun pictures. They both are so vivatious and fun! Their parents will love them, what a sweet idea and such a good way to express their love.

My favortie shoot so far

2009-06-02T16:45:00.000-07:00

Okay for those of you who have been patiently waiting I am fianlly getting around to posting pictures of the newest addition to my family, Kinsley Aryelle Parkin. Not all of the pictures are from her shoots but they had to be included! The first ones are just snapshots and then there are some from her first photo shoots. She is such a sweet and easy and pretty baby, how did I get so lucky twice?? We love her to pieces, especially Adyson! She loves her baby sister so much, always wanting to give her kisses and loves and is a big help to me. Kinsley is already a huge blessing to our family, her sweet personality is already apparent. It will be so fun to watch her grow and develop that personality. We are so excited to get to know her. Hope you enjoy the plethora of photos!!

365 Days of Joy

2009-05-10T13:51:00.000-07:00

This little darling is my freinds daughter, Lydia mae. She just turned 1 and needed her picture taken. What a cutie!! She is such a joy for her mom and dad. We had the best time playing at the park with her. She loved the grass and the sticks and the flowers that were all around. I think her favorite part was getting to swing or trying to get into the dirt! Here's to 365 more days of joy!

Graduate

2009-04-17T15:26:00.000-07:00

Courtney is graduating from ISU shortly with a degree in communication along with a bunch of other things. She wanted to celebrate this milestone, and righly so. We got together and shot some sassy pictures for her announcments. What a babe!! Congratulations and good luck!

Lindsey

2009-04-02T12:33:00.000-07:00

Linsdey is about to graduate and so we spent part of an afternoon shooting some senior pictures. She was so vivatious and sweet. It didn't take long to get a ton of great pictures. She had some great ideas and was up to try anything which made it super fun. By the way did you see those mucsles, can you say buff?

Expecting Luke

2009-01-22T16:50:00.000-08:00

How perfect are these maternity pictures? Luke will be Ben and Audry's first baby and you can just see the joy radiating from them, they are excited beyond belief. Ben was such a good sport, he did everything we wanted him to with hardly any pleading. And Audry has to be one of the cutest pregnant ladies I have ever seen, no stretch marks can you say jealous??

Kaydee and Kennadee

2009-01-20T22:28:00.001-08:00

Wow! This shoot turned out much better than I thought. These sisters were not into having their picture taken and when one was happy the other wasn't and vise versa. So after much bribery and just taking random shots we decided they had had enough. All the hard work paid off, there were so many adorable pictures of them! I'm so happy!!

Tiny Cowboy

2009-01-13T14:19:00.000-08:00

This is little Elias, isn't he handsome? His grandpa got him all his cowboy gear so we just had to use it in his shoot. I couldn't belive how happy he was, other than spending too much time on his tummy, he dosn't like tummy time. You can just tell his mom is completly smitten with her little cowboy!

Adyson Grace

2009-01-10T21:48:00.000-08:00

Here are the most recent photos of Adyson. I attemped to get family photos at the same time but I haven't mastered the art of getting the shots I want while using the timer. Oh well it's a work in progress!

McSpadden Family

2009-01-02T16:25:00.001-08:00

This was another family shoot I did this fall. She had seen this barn while house hunting and thought it would make a great background and it did. These pictures are prefect! I love this famiy and had a great time shooting them. We ended up with some fantastic photos!

England Family Continued

2009-01-01T21:36:00.000-08:00

Here are the rest of the England's pictures. I had too much fun with them!

England family kids

2009-01-01T21:24:00.000-08:00

These are my friend Kristen's kids, aren't they cute! When we decided to do their family pictures the only request Kristen had was to have lots of varitey. I found a few locations and we went to work. We ended up with some great shots. I was so impressed with how well the kids did, we shot for almost two hours we were having so much fun. We ended up with so many good pictuers I had a hard time deciding which ones to post! Kristen had the same problem!

Christmas Kids

2009-01-01T19:18:00.000-08:00

My neighbor and good friend decided that for her Christmas cards this year she wanted a picture of jus ther kids. We set up the back drop and just played with them. Krista was much happier for the second half of the shoot, after food and a nap!

Princess tea party

2008-12-31T08:36:00.000-08:00

This was a fun mini shoot I did for my friends little girl, Ella. She loves having tea parties and her great aunt wanted some pictures. We set up her room like a tea parlor and went to work. She even had a wardrobe change, fancy facny. What a pretty princess!

Charelle's seinor shoot

2008-12-30T20:37:00.000-08:00

This is my almost sister/ friend Charelle. She is a seinor this year, I can't belive it! We had a great time playing and coming up with all these fun pose's for her even though it was like a million degrees! (We shot these in July, yea I know I'm a little behind.) I think they turned out fabulous, just like her!
