Good light, poodle hair, and baaad tan lines.

Last weekend I was lucky enough to escape to the beach with my family and some friends. I didn't dare bust my camera out on the first day, but we went to the beach at dusk and snapped a few pictures. I loved that the blues and grays of the ocean and sky made for a great blank canvas. I could have shot here all night long.

My family, the beach, AND amazing light? PLEASE! It doesn't get any better than that!


I got my haircut. The jury is still out as to whether I like it or not. Feel free to weigh in. Unless you think it looks like a poodle. If that's the case, then you can kindly keep your thoughts to yourself. :)






Aaron and I are working on a little booklet entitled, "How NOT to apply sunscreen." (And I thought my tan lines were bad BEFORE we went to the beach.)
Notice Aaron's poor red feet?

Happy Monday everyone!

A Day in the Felt Family's Life (Lehi Family Photographer)

Christina and I became fast friends a couple of years ago after I accidentally flung a piece of BBQ'd meat into her purse.

Last December, as I started tossing around the idea of doing sessions in my client's home, I pictured Christina. I pictured her warmth, her depth, her sweet kids and her colorful house which is jam packed with charm.

I called Christina a couple of weeks ago to talk about our session and was pleased as punch to discover that her vision matched mine perfectly.

"I want you to follow us around and capture what we do every day," she said.

And we did just that.


I told Sam to go pick out his favorite dress up outfit and he picked a BEAUTIFUL pink dress. I told him to pick his 2nd favorite outfit and we ended up with this.

Something tells me this photo would have lost its effect if he was wearing a dress. :)






This is one of my new favorite pictures. We decided to take pictures of Christina with her baby. And this is what we ended up with. Every mother in the world can relate to this!







Thanks Felt Family!

I just love them. (Utah Family Photographer)

Allison is one super-awesome female in one uber testosterone driven home. She also happens to be one of my most loyal clients. She is fabulous.
and so is her entire family.





I just don't think it's fair that one family hogs all of the beautiful eye genes.


Much much more to come from my Utah sessions!

Now I'm off to recover all of the personal pics that I accidentally deleted from my camera. Doh! Hooray for photo recovery software. Boo for delete happy users. (me)

Up Next: The Whitlock Fam

Last weekend Nate graduated from Duke Law School and his wife (my friend) bought him a photo session as a graduation gift. Good idea, Amy!
(FYI: walking through a silent law library with squeaky sandals makes you feel like an idiot.)

More to come!
