brand new babe.

Baby G is already a few months old (these were taken just before 2 weeks). The time has flown! She was so teeny tiny.

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!

happy anniversary...

...dear husby! I'm a bit late-it was 3 years on the 27th of last month. For whatever reason, he loves this picture. I do not, but this post is for him, right?!

rain rain, go away.

rumor has it.

I'll be back in town (SLC) on business March 1-22. I should have some time to fit in a few photo shoots. Leave a comment or e-mail me at kaela@bokehphotos.com to book a sesson. As of right now I have a few openings on the 6th & the 13th of March.

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!

c & c.

I'm so glad this couple was one of my last session in UT. We tried this new location, which I loved. What a fab looking couple! Check out their blog for more pictures.

anniversary.

Love that this couple is still in love...a whole year later! What a great anniversary gift.


If anyone else is brave enough to do a 7 AM session, I highly recommend it!

omni golf.

My company had a golf tourney on Saturday and I was the official photographer. It was so much fun!

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.
