CAPTURED.

Introducing...

2011-11-12T12:54:00.001-07:00

Yes, I have been a little MIA.

I am WAY behind on blogging...but for good reason!

I would now like to PROUDLY introduce...

Miss Hattie J Harding

November 2, 2011

6 lbs. 2 oz.

19 inches

*best part about this TINY package...

she didn't break my tailbone!

We have had this sweet girl for one week now and she truly is a blessing.

I forgot how SWEET new babies are. I can't get enough of her!

My mom keeps telling me she won't sleep good if I don't ever put her down, but that doesn't stop me ;)

I am soaking up every sweet ounce of NEW I can get!!

I love you sweet Hattie.

To the moon, and back!

XXO,

MOMMA

The B. Family!!

2011-08-16T14:44:00.002-06:00

Meet the Bingham's!!

This is such a perfect portrayal...

I promise it get's better...hahaI just couldn't resist ;)

To one of my dearest friends...

You truly are a lifesaver for me in SO many different ways!

Hope you love them!

XXO,

Dani Em

Stay tuned for Part Two!!

just a tiny taste...

2011-07-26T11:05:00.000-06:00

This wedding was GORGEOUS.

Can't wait to share more!!

Firecracker.

2011-07-08T10:31:00.003-06:00

This little SASS. A. FRASS. is not into getting her pictures taken.

but when I am able to snag a picture or two...

Her beauty does not disappoint.

She was by FAR the cutest Firecracker in town.

The occasional "backyardigans" breaks are a definite necessity.

and these two together just make my day!

This is as good as it gets when it comes to family pictures around here.

Maybe next time ;)

Hope your 4th was as happy as ours!!

Moments like this...

2011-06-01T15:55:00.000-06:00

It's moments like this that make my job fun.

It's before they even catch my eye,

before they realize they should be smiling,

before they think to stop and pose,

these are the moments I love to watch.

just being a fly on the wall and capturing the pure bliss.

Those are the best. Those are the easiest.

Congrats Michelle and Spencer!!

You are OBVIOUSLY madly in love.

and it shows.

and because sometimes the posed ones are fun too...

here's to just a SNEAK PEAK of what's to come :)

BIG changes are coming!! *fixed

2011-03-30T14:35:00.000-06:00

I have had some really exciting things going on lately and I am SUPER excited to implement them into my photography!!

I was feeling really blah about where I was

going with my business and I just needed a little somehting extra to kick things up a little...

let me talk about this workshop I was lucky enough to attend!!

http://casciophoto.blogspot.com/

If you don't know the Cascio's, GET TO KNOW THEM!! They are quite the team. Britt is the Photographer and Bryan is sort of the "everything else" guy! What a fun Couple!!

It was a perfect way to learn because they were able to feed of eachother and were able to answer EVERY question between the two of them!!

We spent most of our day at the beautiful riter mansion. Going over everything under the sun! I LOVED being there and getting a good feel of the place.

We headed out for the last 2 hours to do a photo shoot. I was so awesome to see Britt just do her thing! She is incredible at what she does!

Seriously how cute are they? Want to know when the are getting married? Probably never! These two JUST met about 30 seconds before we started shooting!! WHAT!?! Maybe we will be seeing a wedding after all ;)

Thank You Britt!! I came away from your workshop with so many ideas bouncing around in my brain and so much to improve upon with my business skills!

Pricing will be changing soon, so if you want to take advantage of my current pricing then book now!!

XXO,

2011-03-02T10:54:00.000-07:00

Taytum was the sweetest baby!

She was not really all that fond of the camera though ;)

We still managed to snatch a few darling photos of her though!

enjoy...

Thanks Tamra!! I had so much fun with you and your
DARLING little peanut!

Maybel Rae...-- Utah Child photographer

Miss Maybes...

We took these pictures the other day, but sadly I am OUT of space on my flicker account until March and I refuse to upload through blogger because it muffs up my colors!

Go check out some more of those scrumptions cheeks on my gallery site here!

Oh Maybel,

I. LOVE. YOU.

and your cheeks :)

MY baby girl...

2011-02-15T13:45:00.002-07:00

How is it...

that when you are pregnant, 9 months feels a like a turtle's pace,

steady and SLOW.

On May 4, 2010 I welcomed the most BEAUTIFUL little girl into our family after 9 long months.

But here I am, 9 month's after the fact...

and where did my tiny little baby go?

I say this every time but man, oh man, this is my

FAVORITE

stage. She is DARLING!

She is still just a little petite thing. She is still just as happy as ever. She is still an amazing sleeper (at night) and she is still mine. I could not be more grateful for that!

"oh the places you'll go!

And will you succeed?

YES! 98 3/4 % guaranteed!"

We read this book at least once a week, she loves it.

I love it for so many reasons. There are so many lessons in that book. If you don't own it,

it's a must!

"Kid, You'll move MOUNTAINS!"

This is her FAVORITE pose. She does this pretty much all day long!

Hazyl very rarely cries. She is really easy going and if she does for some reason start to cry, it is almost always solved by putting her in front of a mirror. haha she doesn't like to watch herself cry!

Hazyl Joy's 9 month stats...

Height: 16 lbs = 10 %

Weight: 29 Inches= 89%

Head was in the 60%

Long and lean... as usual :)

"Because a person's a person, no matter how small."

I LOVE Dr. Suess.

This is her absolute favorite toy for now...

her SALLY CAR!

She will hold onto it for hours :)

Hazyl has been on the move now for about a month and a half! She is a crawling maniac and is now walking around furniture and standing on her own.

She is a very FOCUSED baby. She fixates on tiny things and is very determined to get them!

On the same note though...she can be distracted when we try and is ALWAYS quick to smile.

My JOY,

You are beautiful. You have so completely changes my world and your dad's world, all for the better. We are so lucky to have you with us! NEVER, EVER forget how much we love you.

To the moon,

and back.

Ryland-- Utah Child photography

2011-02-13T10:34:00.000-07:00

This little man belongs to one of my cute friends, Tara!

He is just a few weeks younger than Hazyl and you bet your bottom dollar we will be nudging these two together later on ;)
Wouldn't that be fun!

The ONLY problem with this SCRUMPTIOUS little smile is that when he smiles, his WHOLE body smiles! Man it was tough to catch! haha

This shoot was really all about Ryland but I couldn't resist a few with his darling mom and dad...
Nothing fancy, just some good quality lovin!

Tara and Spencer,

SO FUN TO CATCH UP!!
You are darling, your family is darling, and most of all...Ryland is amazing!

I went to elementary school with this

little lady.

Shelly Elementary. to be exact.

Home of the gators, who are now the

explorers...lame.

but enough of that!

LOVE her. LOVE her fam,

Sandy is the one who took my family pictures a few weeks back and I was

happy to do the same for her!

except that they aren't little squirts anymore.

where does the time go!!

I hope you love them!

The Ward family.

2010-10-30T11:39:00.000-06:00

Meet the Ward's!!

I had a blast with this family.

There were definitely some

unproductive

moments,

but still fun nonetheless!

Thanks for hanging with me.

This is about how it went with this little

Tater man.

That is, until a certain grandma gave him some green gum!

I was on scene with my camera ready when this little

lady lost another tooth!

This little man made me want to name

my first son Hudson!

He. was. scrumptious.

we decided to throw in a few of her FAVORITE things :)

Her giraffe.

Favorite book.

Annistyn- Utah Child Photographer

2010-08-22T16:19:00.002-06:00

This little lady is a DISASTER to photograph...

or so I thought.

I was terrified to upload my card to the computer and as they started loading I could have CRIED I was soooo relieved.

I thought for sure we would have to shoot again,

If you ask me...these were a SUCCESS :)

Hope you LOVE them Ceds.

I couldn't be happier with how they turned out!
