Jacob

I can't believe it was time to take Jacob's senior pictures! 

Candy, Jacob and I traveled all over to find the best locations.

It was a beautiful day :)

Meyer Family

I was so thankful for the opportunity to take pictures of this beautiful family. I have never seen a happier baby!  I got to run all over the yard- and play with chalk...it was a good day! 

The best pictures are taken when having fun!

Janae and Cody

Janae and Cody are engaged!!! 

I was lucky enough to get to take some pictures for them. With Cody's humor and Janae's big smile it wasn't hard to capture some cute shots. :) 

I wish them so much happiness in their new life together!

Bidwell Family Pictures

Alright so in case it's not obvious...this is MY family!!! My mom had wanted new family pictures taken for, well, over a year. So I guess you could say it's about time I took these!

Technically I didn't press the shutter so I'll have to give my boyfriend Ben the credit for that. But since I still did all the posing and editing...I think I'm allowed to post them on my blog ;)

Hope you enjoy!

Gideon

His eyes. His curly hair. Adorable.

I met Sarah, Jeremy and their boys at the park and I had so much fun following Gideon around while trying to snap pictures of him playing! I'd never taken pictures of anyone this young before (Gideon just recently turned one) and I had a blast!I ended up editing all of this pictures in one night because I was just too excited to wait.

I mean come on...try looking at these pictures without smiling. Impossible.

Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

My roommate Kristen is getting married this summer! How exciting!!! 

As you can imagine, I was pretty stoked when she asked me to help her out with this part in her planning ;) She wanted a creative way to ask her friends/family members to be in her wedding. (So I was all over that!)

We spent a few minutes taking some pictures (don't let her cool and collected look fool you...IT WAS FREEZING!) I love the progression of the smiles...

I don't think I need to talk about how gorgeous she is...it's pretty evident in these pictures!

Later, we took these pictures and put them on this cute fold-out card. Check out the DIY tab to see how we did that!

Photoshop Editing (coffee mugs)

I recently got Photoshop but I haven't really had much time to play around and see what I could do with it. So spent some time messing around with some functions, and this is what I came up with...

Before.

After.

Jon & Cassi

It has been so wonderful getting to know Jon and Cassi and I was so honored to get to take their engagement pictures. 

I'm just beginning so it was nice that Cassi had plenty of ideas to get us rolling. I had so much fun taking their pictures and I wish them the best of luck in their new life together :)
