Could he be any cuter??? Southern Utah Newborn Photographer

Posted on May 27, 2010

I mean come on…look at that head of hair. Isn’t he divine?? At four weeks old he slept as well as any newbie.  Thanks for letting me photograph him Nicole. He is gorgeous!

and making me more baby hungry by the minute.

(oh, and if you love the hats…my cousin makes them and will be doing a giveaway on the blog once I get my act together! She does AWESOME work!)

Mine on Monday-Southern Utah Photographer

Posted on May 25, 2010

Though it is Tuesday, it sure feels like Monday. We had an awesome weekend with my sister in law, her hubby and their cute little girl visiting from Georgia. They left yesterday and I am still trying to get back in the swing of things! I love having company and it is so hard to have them leave!!

I got the pleasure of photographing my niece while they were here. It was so fun to see how her personality has changed from 8 months ago when we saw them last. I can definitely see some similarities in personalities between our kids and her. She also has curly hair like my Miss P. I know where some things come from which is fun!!

Sweet Miss P-Mine on Monday-St. George Children’s Photographer

Wowzers…I just adore this little girl. She is such a sweet, happy (most of the time), feisty, smart little thing. She has a strong personality and isn’t afraid of much! And the best part…she adores her mom. You can’t beat that!

Five On Friday-St. George Photographer

Posted on May 14, 2010

Well, it has been some time since I have rambled off my five on Friday and it is even Friday while I am doing it! Hooray for me! My hubby is at a “Father and Son” campout with our church group which means the evening is mine to play…computer, sewing, taking pics of the little miss (which turned out mega cute!). It has been a fun evening. So, here go my 5…

1. If ever you are in Utah you must make a stop at Cafe Rio. It is the yummiest, best Mexican joint EVER. I am going to sorely miss that place and their delish coconut shrimp tacos they offer on Tuesday (and I eat most Tuesdays). Honestly, Cafe Rio really is reason enough to come to St. George, Utah for a visit. Oh, and Zion National Park, which is also in the running for coolest thing in my town .

2. The other joint that I frequent far too often is The Golden Spoon. Can I tell you how happy I am that fro-yo made a comeback? I LOVE it. And the best part is that a small is only three point with Weight Watchers (once a Weight Watcher, always a point counter!)

(I know this next picture looks professional, but it really is just me with my kinda long arms getting a semi okay shot after about 10 tries. Where is my dear friend anne and her long arms when I need a self portrait??)

3. So, can you tell me why, when I live in St. George, Utah…just two hours north of Vegas and very similar climate wise to Vegas, I needed a fleece sweatshirt at my son’s baseball game this week and ended up leaving early because Little Miss was a popsicle?? It is the middle of May my friends!! But don’t you fret…it will be in the 90’s tomorrow. Who wants spring anyway?

4. I have been on a fabric buying frenzy this past week or so. I love to make clothes for Miss P and have found some darling patterns lately. If you like to sew check out these…http://izzynivydesigns.blogspot.com. I bought some awesome Amy Butler fabrics and with the hubster gone, I will be up late sewing. I can’t wait!! I will post pictures when I finish!

5. I have been pretty successful keeping up on the house, though I spend around 2 hours every morning cleaning, folding laundry, dishes etc. Props to those of you who always do this! It is so hard to be so efficient. I would much rather be doing just about anything else! I do feel accomplished though that I can do it and very happy that my laundry gets folded within the same week it is washed. (Sounds like my house is a sty normally…not that bad, just not as spotless as it is now!)

And, here is a little teaser from my fun night with Miss P. We went to Cafe Rio, frozen yogurt, the fabric store (okay, I really am obsessed) and then she wanted to take pictures. Twist my arm. Oh, and a funny story…we get to where we are taking pics and of course she needs to go peepers (as we call it around here). There was no b-room nearby and I WAS NOT passing up my photo op, so we found a patch of secluded dirt and I attempted to help her go. Well, long story short, I should have put the camera down (no worries, it stayed dry). It is much easier to help a girlie so this in theory than reality. The show must go on though and the shoot was completed and P got a bath as soon as we got home!

Cute Little Kiddos-St. George Children’s Photographer

Posted on May 11, 2010

These two were such fun to photograph! Their blue eyes are so gorgeous and they were happy the entire time (well, until the very end and bedtime was calling!)

Isn’t this such a fun stage?!? I love watching babies beginning to walk…I had a friend name it the “Frankenbaby” stage and it fits so perfectly. They are always walking with hands in the air to steady themselves. Love it!!

Mine on Monday- St. George Photographer

I had the privledge of photographing my youngest brother’s wedding this past weekend. It was quite the whirlwind few days with a 12 hour car ride both ways, but my kiddos were troopers. I think I was the grouchiest of us all on the car ride home. I couldn’t wait to get out!! It was a beautiful wedding though and Greg and Christina are such a happy, good looking couple. Now they are both off to medical school…the adventure begins!

It is always so much fun when my whole family can get together. I am sandwiched between four boys and wouldn’t trade it. They are great firends and I am blessed with (now) three awesome sisters in law. We have such a great time when we get together and laugh at each each other’s dumb jokes. That is how family should be. I wish we could do it more often.

And, as a little treat to you all (just kidding) I am including a picture of yours truly. It doesn’t happen often. I am mega critical about dumb things (like the fact that one eye is squintier than the other) and it is rare to be on the other side of the camera, so here you go!

And is that little miss P not the cutest thing ever. I am yet to get tired of taking pictures of her cute little face, though this time she insisted on shoving her dress between her legs. Whatever little chica!

Hope spring is treating you well. I have many a session to be editing so check back for some new pictures and a contest from one of my favorite accessory makers. You won’t want to miss it!!
