commercial shoot

I had SO much fun photographing this beautiful mom and her darling son (no, they're not models. shocking, I know.)! They are showing off their pearly whites for advertising in a dental office, and what better way to do it than on BIG canvases all over your office? Good idea Dr. Snyder! I'll come see YOU for a cleaning ANYDAY! 

talk about sweet

check out max's girlfriend taylee! we were so glad we got to meet up with our friends danny and annie over christmas, and of course we had to snap a few of their darling two year old in my make-shift studio.  how sweet is she?

who is that girl?

oh wait. that's ME! me in a picture with my family.

 

this is pretty much monumental. so photo friends, if you want to check out the rest of my family pics from my PHOTO SWAP with AMY you can do so and tell me your favorite  HERE.

Plus, it was my first time editing raw images (I normally shoot jpg, but Amy shoots raw) and

I have to say I really loved the outcome. It was so much easier to edit in bridge with raw files!  I just may be shooting in raw from now on.

have yourself a merry little christmas

i know max will. i can't wait! didn't it sneak up so fast this year? i'm not nearly ready!

his name is drew and he's mr. gq.

remember my friend drew? my little mini-session man turned model? i love him. i want to photograph him a million times over. during his family session, he was nonstop energy and had the most boisterous personality! i loved him soooo much that i begged his parents to let me dress him in some crew cuts clothes i had in the car that just happened to be HIS SIZE! i am so glad she said yes. we got him looking all dapper and he pulled out the attitude to match. meet mr. gq!

now really. could he be any cuter? and let me just add that this all went down in a matter of about 15 minutes. I could have posted more of him for days. Lucky me! 

oh yea.

i know the veil thing is getting a little old, but i really like this one. 

her pre-kiss-smile is priceless. all i can say is that b & j are the steamiest couple ever. 

and their interaction is so genuine. they just DID this stuff, it's true love at it's finest 

and I was so honored to be a part of it all. 

love you guys, thanks for letting me plaster you all over my blog.  

downtown: brady and josie

ok. this post in intense. it will take a while, it's VERY long. very passionate. lots of kissing. I am just going to let these pictures and these lovers speak for themselves. enjoy. 

the end.

REMINDER

LAST DAY TO ORDER PICTURES BEFORE CHRISTMAS IS 

THIS SUNDAY- DECEMBER 7th

after this date, there will be a %25 percent rush fee. eww. 

Thankful

for my healthy, sweet, beautiful boy
my best friend, my husband
my crazy family
and that I was able to spend the holiday eating at ONE table with 40 of them
during our little getaway to Sandpoint
which is far more beautiful in the winter than I remembered.

I feel so blessed.

the lisp is back

check out today's studio 5 clip- you might be on it!

also, please notice my cheesey smile as we open. for sure my best moment.

Thanks Brooke and Darrin and everyone at Studio 5 for having me back. It is always a pleasure!


JUST ADDED: a couple of you have asked about the necklace I wore on the show- you can get one just like it or a variety of other amazing creations from my friend CAROLINE. She makes the most GORGEOUS jewelry! She will also be at the BEEHIVE BAZAAR next week. We'll be there for sure and hope you come too!

pucker up...

more of these to come later, but I couldn't resist this sweet little lips!

BTW, see me on studio 5 today at 11. I will be talking about easy Christmas card picture posing and clothes. Wish me luck!

the {w} family

now, most of you that read my blog regularly know that i have a leeeeetle problem. i am have a hard time with a normal sized post. it's eather one, or twenty- no inbetween. i guess i'm just an all or nothin' type of gal.  this would probably have been an average sized post, but as you also probably know, I am mildly infatuated with an almost three year old named Jonas. he happens to be the most photogenic kid on the planet, and so is the rest of his family for that matter! so enjoy just SOME (some!?) of my favorites!
