My Favorite Girls!

Paige turned 7 on Valentine’s Day and because they were with their dad last weekend, we postponed her birthday celebration until this weekend. When I asked her what she wanted to do…she asked if we could take a road trip up to Antelope Island. We loaded up the Jeep early Saturday morning with a few essentials and we were off. In Sandy it was a beautiful & mild 50 degrees…by the time we got up to Antelope Island it was a chilly 34. We managed to spend about 4 hours exploring before the wind picked up enough to make it a little unbearable.

Watson kiddos

These kids were so fun to shoot…kinda like my own – all three have such different personalities and so stinkin’ cute! I have to admit I am a little jealous of Heather because she did get a red- head child! To get mine, I just look forward to the red hightlights Paige gets in the summer

This is what I love about photographing kids – you have to be on your toes and be ready for that unexpected expression. Photographing them in their own environment can be exactly what a shoot needs, especially for the younger ones. They are more comfortable in their surroundings and then I can just get in there…then step back…talk and play and then, voila, they sometimes forget I am even there (usually, lol)

Here’s a little teaser from that fun morning…and thanks to Heather for inviting me into her beautiful home

Macro Mania

I have always loved macro photography…I think it is fascinating to focus in on the minute details that would not otherwise be seen. It offers a different perspective and a new appreciation for the world we live in. 

That said, here are a few of my favorites from last week…
