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!

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.

bennett family {southern utah family photographer}

I got to do another fun set of family photos on Saturday.
I really enjoyed their
outgoing little girl,
their silly boy,
and their easy going, fuzzy haired baby.
Thanks Bennett fam- What a fun morning!

p.s. brooke-you are all so photogenic :)

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.
I am so lucky!
They are my adorable family.
I got a tiny glimpse of what a house full of boys is like.
Silly.Crazy.Dirty.But lots of love.
What a beautiful family, don't you think?

journey: mk challenge

This week at {life through the lens} and Savoring the Details the photo challenge was the word "journey".

"Success is not a place at which one arrives but rather the spirit with
which one undertakes and continues the journey"-alex noble

I am so grateful for the journey in which my ancestors went on so that
I can live a life full of freedom and truth.

baby bump {southern utah maternity photographer}

I promise I don't only take maternity pics.
Jenny is a long time bff. We go way back.
She is expecting baby number two-little Kash.
I am so excited for her to be a mommy again.
Thanks again Jenny-you were a beautiful model.
And good luck with your two little guys.

red: mk challenge

This week on {life through the lens} the photo challenge was "your favorite color".
Anyone who knows me, knows what it is.
red:

Red has more personal associations than any other color.
Recognized as a stimulant red is inherently exciting and the amount of red is directly related to the level of energy perceived.
Red draws attention and a keen use of red as an accent can immediately focus attention on a particular element.

How the color red affects us mentally and physically:
* Increases enthusiasm
* Stimulates energy
* Encourages action and confidence
* A sense of protection from fears and anxiety

So, all of you now know...i heart red.

pinevalley.

We went to pinevalley for my nephews birthday bash.
It was such a nice time in a beautiful environment.
Here's my cute nephew and a few of my fav moments captured that day.
