SHANLEY

 This girl was such a crack up!  We had so much fun and she did amazing for a two year old!  I couldn't love her more!!!

MY KIDS

 Time goes by too fast these days...  The other morning we were just hanging on my bed and they were being so cute so I hurried and opened up the windows to get the pretty light in, grabbed my camera, got Jett naked, and scrunched Blakely's hair a little and captured these sweet memories.  I just love them so much and don't want to forget this crazy, but amazing time in my life.  Here is Blakely at 3 years and 3 months and my boy is already 3 months even though he looks like 6 months :)

MACIE, REAGAN, REESE, AND MAGGIE

 I love these girls so much and love when my nieces come to town!  Can you believe my brother has 4 girls?!?  He can't either!  They were so good after driving for 7 hours straight.

NAVY

 Not only was I so excited to finally shoot a newborn girl after so many boys, but it makes it even more special when it's for a great college friend!  Love you girl and she is beautiful!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Isn't this hilarious!!!  This is my nephew!  Which we were laughing cuz he totally looks like a pretty girl in this picture!  While the boys were busy golfing in 30 degree weather on Saturday I decided to take some pics of my kids and then my nephew came over so we had to get some of him!  I'm sure you seen pictures similar on Pinterest.  It's very easy to do.  I'm no master, but here are some simple instructions to achieve this look:

I got some icicle lights on a white cord and draped them over one of my white backdrops, but you could also use a wall.  This was taken on my bed in the master.  Put the lights on the back wall and place your subject as far as possible away from your backdrop.  I wish I even had 10 feet between him and the backdrop and I would even have more blur with the lights.  I had two large windows to the right letting the natural light come through.

I used my 85mm 1.8 lens that I love!!!

F stop at 1.8

ISO 200

  Shutter speed 1/60.

If I would have planned better, I would have used a tripod since you really need a steady hand since your shutter speed is so slow.  Also, do it when you have the most natural light.  We did this at about 3:30 so I was losing light, but still turned out!  

Hope you have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and enjoy taking pics of your kids!

 Love this kid like he was my own!  His mom is my right hand woman, partner in crime, ear that listens to me, and amazing sister in law.  Love my brother in law too and that you make beautiful babies!

Isn't he the freaking cutest kid ever?!?  We just aren't sure if you are his parents yet...  I was supposed to get the blonde with blue eyes!

K FAMILY

 Talk about 3 handsome little boys!  Their mom is one of my favorite people in the world!  She took care of me growing up on the basketball court and we had so many good times playing ball together!  

Talk about the gene pool jackpot with these boys!  Their mom a BYU basketball star and dad a BYU football player!  I'm jealous!!!

Love you Kristen and keep having beautiful babies!
