Christmas Tree

I bought a new lens for my camera. My kit lens was just not doing it for me. I played around with my new lens the other day after I finished decorating our freshly cut tree. Wow what a difference it made! I was able to do a family photo shoot Saturday with the new lens and am so excited to share in a few days!

My Christmas Giveaway ends on Friday! I will accept entries until friday afternoon.

Blue and Orange

My brother-in-law Chris racing a four wheeler at the Warner Valley Sand Dunes in Utah.
I am thoroughly liking the contrasted colors of the blue and orange.
This photo is not photo-shopped: I achieved the vibrant blue skies from using a polarizing filter.

One of my favorite things

Christensen Family

Yet again, photos of my family! These are unique however, because I got to use a friend of mine's amazing, incredible camera equipment. Don't get me wrong, I love my camera and the accessories that I have gotten thus far, but wow what a difference upper high-quality equipment makes on photographs.

I always am in heaven when I get to take photographs, no matter what the subject is. This was no different with my own family. We even got my son to cooperate for a little while. You may be able to tell he was a little grumpy in some pictures.

Enjoy...

Look! I went brunette!

Looking so innocent...

P.S.
I know I've been a slacker at posts on here. But I do have more photos to go through and upload just for fun soon :)

Newborn Session: Addie

I just gotta say. I LOVE doing newborn sessions.
Here I have some of my favorite shots of baby Addie. She was such a doll. And guess what? Her middle name is Teria! How amazing is that.
I just want to thank her parents. They are wonderful and so sweet. Thanks!

Tutu Fun Bowtique

A couple Saturdays ago I had the opportunity to photograph for a boutique that is just getting started. Shay hand-makes all of her items and they were are all so adorable! Shay has a blog www.tutufunbowtique.blogspot.com Here are some of my favorite shots from the photo-shoot.

I think these hats are the best. Perfect for newborn sessions (which I'm going to try on a newborn photo shoot this week!) Thanks Shay for everything!
