Despain Family

Erin and J.J. gave me the opportunity again to keep working on my photography a couple of weeks ago. Because I was having a dinner that same night we decided to just do it in the backyard and then at the railroad tracks that are a couple of blocks away. I only took 777 pictures :) but I'm pretty sure that we got some A-MAZING ones!

(Allisyn LOVED my yellow bracelet and my Mom's pumpkin shaker, sometimes that was the only thing that would get her to sit)

Skousen Family

Thanks to friends I've been getting a chance to work on my photography lately. General Conference weekend Brea and Darrell had asked if I would take some family pictures for them, after the last session I headed down to Provo to take them. We went over to the the duck pond and water falls by Heritage Housing on BYU's campus. I took pictures for them 6 months ago after the last Conference, I just have to say getting pictures with Addie looking at me and smiling was a lot harder than it was last time. I'm pretty proud of what I got, I still have a lot of improving to do but I am getting better.

Day 29

Day 29 - A picture that can always make you smile.

There is nothing like the cuteness of my nieces and nephews with Grandma to make me smile...I especially love that even in this snapshot you can see their different personalities. I love those kids! (and their Grandma too :D)

Day 27

Day 27 - A picture of yourself and a family member.

We got family pictures taken right after Christmas and we just got copies of them...I'm so excited and love them so much! (and to think it's still growing...by the time we take another all family picture we will have at least one more--Yeah Joel and Becky!)

Family Photos

Can I just say how much I love my job and getting to work with these kids? Some days they make me want to strangle their necks and pull out my hair but then I look at pictures like these and I can't stop smiling/laughing. Last week we were talking about families and one thing that we did was take "family photos" in the 2nd class we had a boy picture and a girl picture and each person got to pick their own props...love that Jimmy has a pink headband on and that Max is holding a red fan, plus you've also got an awesome Ruby Monkey!
