I LOVE IT!

I LOVE photography. It's a dream of mine to have a side business taking portraits. I don't know if it'll ever happen, but I'd love it. Right now I'm just trying to practice and build the confidence that I am good enough to do it. (I get discouraged when I look at other photography blogs and they are awesome. Maybe I'm not good enough to do it as a business, I don't know.) I apologize if you're sick of the pictures. Maybe someday I'll have another blog just for my photography. Anyways, a few families have asked me to take their family pictures this fall so Ryan and I went up Sinks Canyon to scoop out some spots I could take pictures at and see if the leaves are turning colors yet for fall pictures. Of course, I couldn't leave the camera in the car the whole time! These are a few (or a lot) of pictures I took of Celeste. I love them! What do you think? (They are in no particular order)

(I guess it's a good day when you get 15 good pictures of a busy 17 month old!! Thanks for looking!)

Family Pictures

It isn't an easy task to get this cute, sweet, innocent little girl to sit still long enough to get a good picture of her. However, we did manage to get a few decent pictures of our family.

Elsie - 6 Months

I got to take Elsie's (my niece) 6 month portraits last night. She's a lot of fun to photograph! Thanks for letting me take her pictures, Kara!

Warning: There are a lot of pictures posted!

She was quite serious last night.

Sometimes she just looks at me like, "oh dear, the crazy camera lady is back."

I saved my favorite for last. :)

Thanks for letting me share!
