Sneak Peek for Alexis Coverstone

2011-12-30T09:45:00.000-08:00

While visiting Idaho Falls, I was able to take senior pictures of a girl that used to be in my ward at church in Arizona. Except, I remember her as a very young girl and now she is a gorgeous young women, graduating high schools! Her family moved to the city where my husband is fun, so I get to see them when I visit on occasion! Doesn't she make a perfect Ice Princess? Needless to say, she was FREEZING, because Idaho Falls was about 10-20 degrees that day. But, she was a good sport and I am so excited to finish this shoot!

Sneak Peek for the Matock Family!

2011-10-19T12:09:00.001-07:00

I loved every bit of time I was able to spend with this lovely family. Their two week old daughter is just the sweetest thing I've ever seen, and her rambunctious boys are exactly what boys should be. Their family emulates love and I loved capturing these moments in their family. There is something about when you see a family and how they interact that makes you incredibly happy. As I was leaving this photo shoot, I couldn't help but think that I would love to have my family like theirs. Their two boys are so cute and are always all smiles. They've got energy for days and it totally reminded me of my little guy. I am super excited to share this shoot with you guys because it has to be one of my favorites. I've only edited a few, but stay tuned for more to come!

I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always..

2009-11-28T09:54:00.000-08:00

For a school project, we had to take inspiration from a non-visual source like a book, poem, or song and communicate them through pictures. When I was little, my mom would read me a book called "Love You Forever". If you haven't read it, it's about a mother who takes care of and loves her child. Every night she would rock her sleeping child in a rocking chair and sing "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, my baby you'll be." This mother continues to sing this to her growing child even as a teenage and a grown man. One night the mother becomes very sick and the now grown man drives to his mothers house and sings to it to his mother. That night he drives home to his own child, where the book ends by the grown man singing it to his new baby girl. For my photography project, I decided to capture mother/child relationships. Hope you enjoy:
