Whittles!

This was probably one of my favorite photo sessions of the fall and, yet, the hardest to edit. Adrienne said she would edit the photos herself, so I just gave her the files and I was done. While it was a relief at the time as I had some other jobs I still needed to edit and more photo sessions coming up, I still wanted to play with some of them. I just didn't get around to it, which is really sad because we had so much FUN and it shows in the pictures!

AND they invited us to McDonalds after and they got me my favorite ice cream sundae with hot fudge and even treated Jeremy to not one, but two of his favorite breakfast burritos!! We've even gotten together since then to play games because we just get along so well. Probably due to the fact that "Elder" Whittle and I were brief companions in the MTC.

I finally decided these few photos could wait no longer (well, and I'm blogging again, and I couldn't pass this family up).

Cute, cute little boy.

A family of avid readers.

 Pretty sure Adrienne was having a hard time breathing after this hug fest.

 Love, love the pearl necklace. Reminds me of when I was a girl.

Halloween with "great" nephews and niece

 These kids are not "my/Jeremy's" niece and nephews, they are great-niece and great-nephews. Makes me feel old in a way even though it has nothing to do with me.

This was just prior to Halloween, thus the costumes.

A frog about to leap.




A princess looking for true love and a good twirl in her dress.

 His FAVORITE character, Spongebob.

And a silly horse.

Baby Tenley

Secret confession: sometimes I watch "The Bachelor." I think the drama that girls create is hilarious, as long as it isn't in my own life, and there is ALWAYS drama on this show. Most seasons I only see a few episodes here or there, but I used to watch more diligently. A few seasons ago they had this sweet girl named Tenley. I loved the girl, and I loved the name. Jeremy's nephew and his wife had a new baby girl last October and I was super excited they decided to name her Tenley!

I never seem to manage all the cute poses I want to do with newborns, but all the same, newborns are adorable, so it isn't too hard to get adorable shots no matter the pose or angle.

The Lahrs

I had no idea what I was getting into when I agreed to do family pictures for the Lahrs. Their boy, Reid, is only a few months older than my boy Jackson, and knowing how Jackson can't hold still, I should have figured the same for Reid. It wasn't the typical "sit down and get a family photo" kind of day, but we had fun. We chased leaves, kicked soccer balls, played on swings, slides, and more.

Garrett Senior Photos at Wheeler Farm

I was lucky enough to take pictures with Garrett because I used to teach with his sister-in-law. She was kind enough to refer me. They drove down from Rock Springs, WY to do it. I asked if there were any instruments or other talents that he was interested in that he'd like to display in a picture. "No, no," says his mom, "he doesn't do much." But this is what he came with in the end. I guess the boy likes Assassin's Creed. A lot.

The Collards and Once in Awhile I Remember I Have a Blog

That's right. After months of inactivity, I've decided that I can return to posting pictures. Old pictures.

Kristie Collard is my "old friend," but I like her. She and I decided instead of money exchanging for pictures that she would provide me with tickets to a Jazz game when they were playing Jimmer. I guess they were really playing the Sacramento Kings, but we both know I went for Jimmer.

With a few changes in our original plans, we ended up at Gardner Village. Even though it was near Halloween time, we managed to get some pictures that didn't look too scary.

Enjoy!
