back to school time: mk challenge

This week over at {life through the lens} and Savoring the Details,
the photography challenge was:
Back to School Time!

Well, since I'm not in school, nor do I have children in school,
I decide to spot light one of my favorite things when I was in school.

In high school I had the most amazing art teacher.
He taught me so much about being an artist and about being myself.
I think being a true artist is being yourself.
I learned about who I was and how to portray that through my artwork...
And now through my photography.
I think during the 4 years that I had classes from him
I really developed my creativity and my love for all things artistic.
My high school art set-Where it all began.

To check out Frank Thomas' (my teacher) amazing work, go HERE.

something i don't want to forget: mk challenge

The photo prompt this week at {life through the lens} and Savoring the Details was:
'Photograph something you don't want to forget'

Coming up on my first anniversary in the next couple months,
the thing that came to me was not wanting to forget all those
special things about my wedding day.
*my red shoes*
*my lace dress*
*being surrounded by loved ones*
*the 85 degree weather in november*
*the pumpkin flavored cake*

and the reason for the wedding...
my feelings for my love.
I don't ever want to forget how I felt, holding his hands,
knowing that I would be with him forever.

So, bringing out my dress to capture some of those details
has helped my heart remember those
feelings I don't want to forget.

My heart is totally melting.
This is my new niece Lilly Paige.
And I love her and those juicy lips.
My sis sure has beautiful babes.
Don't you want one of these to cuddle?

life is beautiful: mk challenge

This week at {life through the lens} and Savoring the Details, the photo prompt was:
"Life is Beautiful"
The things that make life beautiful aren't physical things that we "see",
they are things that are felt with the heart.
Love. Joy. Happiness. Sadness.
If we are feeling, we are living.
To me, that is beautiful.

knudsen family {southern utah family photographer}

I got to take these family pictures last night.

Silly.Crazy.Dirty.But lots of love.
What a beautiful family, don't you think?

six month sweetie {southern utah child photographer}

We got to take pictures of this sweetie.
She is six months old and such a good baby.
There were too many cute pictures but these were some of my favorites.
Thanks to Blair and once again Kamill.
