autumn: mk challenge

This weeks photo challenge:
"what autumn means to me"

I was traveling this week for work and didn't really have much time
to figure out what I wanted to take a photo of.
I am trying to get in the habit of taking my camera with me
where ever I go more often, so I can catch more spur of the moment pictures.
So, luckily I packed my camera along with me this week on my travels.
As the plane was descending into the Salt Lake Valley, I looked out my
window and saw the beautiful bright yellow on the mountain side.
Falls leaves are gorgeous, but sadly we don't get them until later on in the year here.
It's not the clearest picture, shooting through that thick airplane window,
but it made me excited for the upcoming autumn.

Enjoy autumn at a glimpse from the sky.

remember to pay my friends a visit at
{life through the lens} and Savoring the Details.
they are the inspiration behind these fun, weekly challenges!

Isn't she precious?

And who can resist those cheeks and those rolls!

 

 

 

 

 

rylee {friday photo bliss}

Inspired by Rita, at the Coffee Shop Blog,
I am posting one image every Friday, taken that week,

that really makes me happy!

p.s. all of you photo shop lovers must check out her blog!
I have learned so much and gotten tons of freebies from this talented lady!

create: mk challenge

This weeks photography challenge was {create}
Kristi gave the definition so well...
create:
-make or cause to be or to become
-bring into existence
-pursue a creative activity; be engaged in a creative activity
-create by artistic means
-create or manufacture a man-made product

I think babies are the most beautiful creation.
I could only wish this baby was mine.
My sissy so kindly let me borrow her for a moment.

"a new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope a dream of possibilities"

p.s. my contribution to the creation part of this photograph is the little pink beanie.
I have recently learned how to knit (just beanies) and I'm really loving it!

Please make sure and stop by the wonderful
{life through the lens} and Savoring the Details
to see their beautiful photos!

food: mk challenge

The photography challenge this week was: food

My niece had a FUNdraiser for her dance group selling
Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
I love these. They honestly melt in your mouth.
Good thing they arrived Monday, because
I don't really bake so what would I take a pic of :)

Make sure and stop by {life through the lens} and Savoring the Details
to check out their yummy photos too!

owens family {southern utah family photographer}

This is the cute Owens family.
I don't think I've ever seen a little boy with so much energy.
He kept us all on our toes running from place to place.
They are such a fun family and I love how their pics turned out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

type: mk challenge

Another challenge this week from {life through the lens} and Savoring the Details:

"type"

Once again, I loved the prompt this week.
Type can take you in so many directions.
Type=Words
Words make you feel a certain way, they can take you on an adventure,
they can give you direction, they can warn you, I could go on and on.

My eyes have been peeled this week looking for something to photograph
that represents my life right now.

Most people look at a speed limit sign and we register: Slow Down.
This is just what I needed at this moment.
I need to slow down.
I need to almost stop.
I really need to take a breath.
I feel like time is racing by and I am sweating the small stuff.
I need to take time to be with my husband.
I need to hug more people.
I need to do more things that count.

"Slow down and enjoy life. It's not only the scenery you miss by going to fast-
you miss the sense of where your going and why"


This will be my new friendly reminder.

Remember this cute prego girlie?
Well, her little guy has arrived safe and sound.
He is such a cute little man and I loved doing his pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

diptych challenge: friday night

The current diptych challenge that me and Kamill did was:
Friday Night

I love how we both took photos of something we like to do with our loved ones.
She has Friday Night BBQ's with her family (she has a weekly themed menu! Awesome!)
While, I like to go to movies (even though I don't go as much as I used to)
with my husband. I look forward to Friday Nights every week, maybe just because
I know Saturday is the next day and I can sleep in!
What do you do with your Friday Nights?

Mine is on the left and Kamill Knudsen Photography on the right!
Enjoy :)
