Spooky… {Daybreak Child Photographer, South Jordan, Utah}
October 31, 2009
A fun-filled day ahead for us. Our morning should be pretty relaxed…cleaning, hanging out, maybe a trip to Costco. Then this afternoon, we are going to see the witches at Gardner Village and to take some pictures of the kids in their costumes. Then home for a little bit of trickery and treat tasting before heading over to Tressa’s house for soups and spooky movies. Wishing you a Haunted Halloween too… {cackle, cackle}
Cousins {Daybreak Family Photographer – South Jordan, Utah}
October 24, 2009Every summer of my childhood included some time at the family ranch in Pinedale. While we were contained (haha) on the ranch, we spent hours learning how to french braid hair, swinging on tire swings, zooming down the zip-line, building pine needle forts, searching for arrowheads…. Okay, the list could go on and on. We just spent good old-fashioned time developing relationships with our family. At some point, my cute Grandma coined the term “cousin power” and it stuck. To this day, whenever we get together with cousins, we call it a cousin power party.
I recently had the chance to photograph these cute cousins. And it takes me back. Swinging. Climbing. Singing. Learning that family is always there….
Here are a few favs from their session:
Texture {Daybreak Child Photographer – South Jordan, Utah}
October 24, 2009I have been really getting into texture lately. So, for now…I have a favorite to share.
First, the original, classic edit:
And then the fun texture:
Clients regularly ask me what they should wear to a session. My best advice it to dress like you are selling the outfit. Layers are great. Texture is fabulous. While solid colored clothing is safe (especially in large group portraits), a little print is fine (as long is it is not distracting/competing with another print). I will address this topic more in a future post. But, a tip: This outfit is awesome! There is a little fun pattern, some great texture and that hat is awesome! Of course, Miss Brynlee’s Mom does work at a children’s clothing store. So, I’m sure that helps. But, if you are struggling with putting together and coordinating your outfits, I am always available to help you select your clothing, so call me!

Still adding favorites from this recent family session… Also, update on my life: So, tomorrow we have family coming in town to stay with us for our big weekend (Missy is getting baptized on Saturday!). But, I have been editing sessions non-stop ALL WEEK! So, as you can imagine. ..my house has suffered. I wondered how I was realistically going to get everything done. How would I have time to clean 4 bathrooms, wash bedding/towels, vacuum, mop, dust, etc. I literally needed to clean my entire house. Then…this morning, my parents and sister showed up on my doorstep and told me that the cleaning crew was here. In a little over an hour, we had my entire house sparkling clean! And, my Dad fixed two of my sinks that were not draining well too! Thanks for being such an amazing Mr. Fix-It Dad! Then, Tressa and I went to Costco together and I got stocked up on food and got a new vacuum (old one did not work anymore). Went straight to the school to volunteer in Mae Mae’s class for their walking field trip. I had four kids in my group and we walked around our neighborhood and the kids got to take pictures of the “signs of Fall.” As we were leaving the school, Mae Mae was complaining that all she got to do for her field trip was walk around with me and take pictures. In her words: “I ALWAYS have to do that!” The other kids, however, thought it was great. I guess it is not always fun being a photographer’s daughter. Back to Tressa’s to pick up the Bub and Foof who had been napping/playing at Tressa’s…stayed for dinner – leftover night. (Thanks Tress) Then, back to Costco with my Dad to return my dryer that NEVER worked. Well, maybe it worked for a week or two. Then, not so great. I had to run every load for two entire 70 minute cycles! Huge waste of electricity, not to mention the fact that I could not keep up on laundry when the dryer took half the day to dry one load! Can I just say how much I love Costco?!? No problem! Here is store credit in the amount of the original purchase price. Go pick out a new dryer that actually works. Thanks! Home now. And…you guessed it. .. Editing sessions
