istockphoto – Little Girl at the Park

Another quick stock shoot at Sugarhouse Park!  One of my favorite little girls, and the daughter of the bride for a wedding I’m shooting in August :)  Lindy is such an opinionated child.  An adorable girl full of personality.  She is definitely her own person.

 

But watching her there at the park, exploring the flowers and the swing set brought a new perspective to me.  Everything seemed like a new discovery.  All I could think was “seeing life through the eyes of a child.”  The beauty of the pink flowers.  The funny feeling of the grass on her feet… the way the sun touches the grass and how she wants to sit in the shade instead.

 

As is normal with kids, she wasn’t exactly cooperative the whole shoot… (And I don’t blame her.  Play at a park vs. pose for the camera?)  But her excitement as she picked up those flowers made everything worth it!

istockphoto – Family at the Park

 

 

One of my highest selling photos on istock is of an adorable red-headed preschooler playing on a playground.  I was thrilled to spend an hour with little Collin and his siblings at Sugarhouse Park to do a second shoot last week!  Such happy happy kids.  And beyond that, I think this session proved to me that winter was over.  An hour at the park with the sun shining down… It’s going to be an amazing couple of months!

 

 

Here’s the best photo from last year:

Formals – Capitol Building

 

Mattie and Carston once again with bride and groom photos – part 2.   I love it when the couple decides to have both the bride and the groom at the bridals… groomals, formals… call it what you will!  It takes so much pressure off the schedule of the wedding day.  We also take the time to feature just the bride, in all her beauty!  Especially those eyes…

 

 

 

Carston, unfortunately, was a little bit sick this day, but we were quite impressed with how positive he was for the photos he jumped in, despite not feeling well.  Ahh, perfect smiles.  Looking at these photos below, I can’t help but think what adorable kids these two will have!

 

 

 

 

 

And, of course, what would a bridal shoot be without shoes and flowers?
