the generations.

And here are the folks who started it all...with the next generation! I adore my grandparents and LOVE that they were so excited to help plan this reunion weekend with us all. We had a great time participating in a murder mystery dinner, 4th of July parade, St. Joe Bazzaar, and lots and lots of laughing & games. (Click image for larger view)

the youngest.

Remember that stellar photography from the last post? Credit is due to the fatherly figure in this next post! In this family shoot we even snuck in a few senior portraits for my cousin.

mi familia.

It's rare that my family actually gets a picture together since I'm always the one behind the lens. I can't take credit for these since I'm obviously NOT behind the lens...thanks Uncle Mark!

number 2.

You can tell these guys took a LOT of family pictures over the years. Check out the symmetrical arm positions, the tilted heads, and I didn't even TELL them to do that! Even baby E knew the drill!

the eldest.

The next batch of posts is a peek into my own family. I was able to capture some quick family portraits during our reunion over July 4th. This is just part one of many...so here comes the marathon of posts!

It's a MIRACLE we got this shot with such an active little guy, and let's be honest, a bunch of goofy grown ups!

mailbox.

I LOVE the holidays because I get so many of these lovelies in my mailbox :) I check the mail like it's my JOB. Here's one I made for some sweet friends of ours.

Check out their newborn shoot and their holiday card last year.

a fresh look.

I've finally made some updates to my website. See if you can tell what's changed!

there's a first for everything.

Finally! My first shoot in Indy. It was a quick one for some friends, and unfortunately we missed most of the fall foliage. They have a great yard anyway, and their pup wanted in on the action too. Here's a taste.

back in the saddle.

I'm back in the saddle! Here's a post from the last session I did in Utah. This family is beautiful, in all of their color-coordinated glory! I love the sassiness from E-she has to put up with all those BIG BROTHERS. And let me tell you...she handles them like a champ!

what a character.

You may recognize this photogenic fam from last year's 'bunny session.' A year older, and z is definitely a character. He loved the trains at this location...and couldn't wait to play on them! He sure knows how to work the camera.

h family.

This family is so adorable! Usually I have to perform all sort of tricks to get babies to smile, but O made it easy for me. What a beautiful day! Check out her newborn pics here.

harley-davidson family.

LOVED this family photo shoot. They're truly a Harley family; bikes, boots, gear, the works. They were up for anything, and made my job easy by cracking themselves up the whole time. To make it even sweeter, I got to ride home on a Harley.

b family.

This babe was less than 2 weeks old. He's got the blondest hair like his mommy and daddy. His nursery is adorable...perfect for our photo shoot!

i should move away more often.

I booked 6 shoots this week...maybe I should move away more often :) Kin, kiddos, and couples coming up. More images coming soon!

the big announcement.

Originally, the big news was NOT that we are moving. I FINALLY finished my website! Be the first to view bokehphotos.com. Let me know what you think!


I've got a ton of shoots before I leave UT. Families, kids, and lots of babies!

w family.

This family is so sweet...and they each have a different eye color! (look closely) Mom even painted the girls' tootsies to match! The light was beautiful at this hour of the day.
