Wilderness Family Photos (Post 2 of 7) - Engagement Photos

Since I flew to Utah for Chantel's wedding, I feel like these photos pretty much qualify as engagement pictures rather than family pictures. Aren't they a lovely couple? She's beautiful, he's handsome and together they are always having fun.  Actually for the family photoshoot we kind of stole Chantel's wedding colors, mostly because after trying on our bridal wear we were all really pleased with how flattering the colors were, so Chan, thanks for picking such great colors.  I loved being able to be a part of their engagement festivities (and in a later post I'll include some from the beautiful wedding).    

Without further adieu, the couple/engagement pictures:

Wilderness Family Photos (Post 1 of 7) - Group Photo

I recently was able to travel home to Utah to participate in my little sisters wedding.  It was awesome!  I loved being able to see my loved ones, visit familiar places, have a car, and enjoy the hot dry air. While I was there I was also able to take photos of a few of my favorite people.  There is a great little grassy area just of the Midvale parkway that was the perfect scene for some family photos.  For organizations sake I'm going to break this photo session up into multiple posts. 

I love the color scheme they choose for their photos; mint, gray, and peach! They ended up being awesomely flattering colors.

Here are the family group shots:

Boston Skyline - 3 Month Old Baby Photography

It feels like it's been ages since I've posted anything here, and I've been missing photography big time, but a lot has happened in the last couple months.  For starters, my husband got accepted to grad school at MIT, we moved to Boston, and I had a baby!

Needless to say things have shifted gear a little bit while we've been getting into the swing of our new life in the city.  I was little hesitant about moving away from my family and the familiarity of Utah, but I've discovered I really do love Boston.  It's a bit surprising because I've always thought of myself as more of a country girl.

Now that things have settled into a more consistent routine with my baby I hope to post more often. In the mean time, here are some photos of me and my handsome little guy.  Holy cow, I didn't know you could love anything so much!

We are lucky to have a great view of the city from our apartment and I was happy at how nice it looks as a background for these photos. 

P.S. I'm still scouting of for prime photographing location in my new city...

Nature Preserve - 1 Year Old Baby Photography

Crazy to think I’ve known this little guy over a year! I think he’s just about the most handsome nephew in the world.  Kayla did a great job dressing him up for our nature preserve session, however baby H wasn’t really in the mood to have his photograph taken.  It didn’t help that it already felt like a million degrees, even in the early morning.  Thank you August. Fortunately we were able to appease the very boyish side of him and he was a lot happier when he had some rocks to play with, go figure.  

 

International Peace Garden - Maternity Photography

Wow, so It's been almost six months since my last post. Sorry about that, but life has been busy! Turns our we are expecting a baby of our own, Yay! My husband is just starting his PHD program at MIT, yay. So we got to move across the country, less yay with the stress of moving (we are almost settled into our new place and it's actually great).

Somehow during these past 6 months I have still managed to take a couple of photos.  Now that things are settling down a little I have some time to add them to the blog.

Without further adieu...

This is my beautiful friend Brooke who was at the time expecting her first baby (the baby has since been born, is doing great, and is a number of months old)  Brooke found this great place in Salt Lake called the Peace Garden for her photos (look it up, it's worth seeing) and between her and her husband it was a very entertaining photo shoot.  They are just great and you'll see why. 

National Guard – 6 Month Old Baby Photography

I had the best time this afternoon hanging out with Kayla and her adorable little boy who is just shy of 6 months, wow time fly's.  He was so happy and good the whole time we took pictures.  He just melts my little heart!

Urban Photo Shoot - Model Photography

I got to spend part of this weekend with my little sister Chantel and somehow I convinced her it would be fun to do an urban photo shoot. Charlotte from Headstrong Make Up did her face and I made an attempt at her hair then off we went to the city. 

I have been dying to do a photo shoot in the snow and it was *suppose* to snow all week but that didn’t happen and we ended up freezing cold while trying to snap a few picture in the pouring rain.  In spite of the cloud cover, the freezing temperatures and the 15-minute photo shoot down a deserted ally, the images turned out great.

P.S. Doesn't she have the most amazing eyes?!
