I need less of this...

Monday, December 29, 2014
So... I'm going to give this one more try.  Another photo challenge.  If I can't keep it up for a year I am giving up.  lol

I need less of this.... CLUTTER!!  {don't judge ;)}

 


 

A Surprise White Christmas Morning

After several weeks of unseasonably warm weather, we woke up to a beautiful, white Christmas.  

Something Old, Something New

Sunday, December 28, 2014
What a coincidence.  This Christmas Eve, I gave my three granddaughters the cutest Fujifilm "polaroid" cameras.  (I do realize that Polaroid is a brand but that's the only way I know how to refer to instant cameras.  lol)  Anyway, the girls loved them!  

The next day at my sister's house, where we celebrated Christmas Day with my family, my mom gave me this...




I LOVE it!!

Temple Square at Christmas

This is something I've wanted to do for years but for some reason, never found the time.  So, when my niece invited me to go along (and maybe teach her a little about photography along the way) I jumped at the opportunity.  We grabbed her mother and my mom to come along and decided to do a little photo walk.  

Below is my attempt to capture the beauty that is Temple Square at Christmas time.

(I took a lot more photos but wasn't happy with them.  If anyone out there has photographed the Temple Square lights I would gladly take any advice on what I could have done different.  

I guess I'm just going to have to try again next year. :)






 

 

Antelope Island Family Session

Saturday, December 27, 2014
Had the opportunity to shoot this cute family for their fun family session.  (She just happens to be my boot camp trainer, so the pressure was on!)  

I love it when my clients bring their own props to add to mine.  So fun!!!  Matter of fact, she chose this location as well.  They turned out great!  Here's a sneak...


 

Old Truck

Sunday, November 30, 2014
Just an old truck that I've wanted to take a pic of forever.  It sits in the parking lot of the Timbermine Restaurant in Ogden.  I probably should have composed it a little better, I don't like the house that's behind it.  But it was raining and I didn't want to get out of the car.  lol 


Outtake

Oh, the joys of photographing toddlers.. even your own grandson.  :)

It was time for my daughter's in-laws' family portrait session.  And so far, every shoot I've done that included him has been a bit of a disaster.  Well, not really, but I've been unable to get him to completely cooperate during an official shoot.  Any other time.. he's all smiles and cuteness and will pose for me all day long. 

 What a stinker!

Beautiful Fall Colors

Sunday, October 12, 2014
We took a little drive up Ogden Canyon and decided to head up Old Snow Basin Road.  I don't think I've been on that road since I was a teenager (back when I was trying to ski).  

Anywho, it was beautiful, quiet and peaceful up there.  

Thinking it might be a great location for a senior shoot...



 

'DAM' Boydston Party

Wednesday, September 10, 2014
This year at our Dam Boydston Party/Reunion we also celebrated Grandma Donna's 80th birthday!

Here she is with (almost) the whole clan...


... and here with her kids.

Two Grandmas and one lucky little girl

(photos taken with a variety of cameras.  lol)

Sunny SLC                                                                         Gloomy Long Beach (burned off by noon, tho.)
I know she was only gone about 2 weeks but I sure missed her face!


  Just hanging out and enjoying the California sunshine while everyone else was at work.  

Loved Jody's garden...




 ...and watching Marley ride her beach cruiser. 



I think Hunter enjoyed watching her, too.  ;)


A couple of days later, we were off the Disneyland/California Adventure!  




Arrived just in time for one of the parades.  Yay!


Waiting patiently in all the lines.



Have to admit... I did NOT like this Ferris wheel..  


Her favorite ride - Radiator Springs Racers!  Such a cute ride we waited in line twice!


The next day - the beach!  

First stop, yummy burgers and malts at Ruby's.








I'm pretty sure I'm going to want to do this again next year.  And maybe baby brother will be big enough to go along, too!
