Spring Break = Disneyland

2010-04-23T14:19:00.001-07:00

As James mentioned before we went on an awesome family vacation to Disneyland during our Spring Break. We had an absolute blast! We were there for 4 days and still didn't get to do everything we wanted.

Here are a few pics we took on our vacation. Enjoy.

Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. Flashes were not allowed on the ride, and we never would have gotten this pic if we didn't have such a low F stop. I think its pretty cool.

James snapped a pic of my sister Julie and I on the Grizzly River Run while the kids were napping in the shade.

Peter Pan and Darth Maul... What could be better?

Train ride = Dinosaurs. Our son Jack loved this part of the ride.

Some more Peter Pan.

Fun Dance Number in New Orleans Square.

If you get the chance to go to Disneyland - GO. You won't regret it. It is amazing. We are officially Disneyland addicts. We want to go back in December - maybe this time with out the kids and just staying one or two days. (Though it is SO fun with kids - so I don't know if James will be able to talk me in to leaving them home)

Jayden Newborn {Rexburg Newborn Photographers}

2010-04-23T12:14:00.000-07:00

Remember this cute couple James took pictures of in December?

Well, they have a new baby! I had the privilege of taking their daughter, Jayden's, pictures before our spring break. Isn't she a doll?

Aren't they such a cute family?

And a big thanks to Jayden's parents, Sally and Jacob, for helping keep my kids sidetracked and entertained during the shoot. Elena woke up early from her nap, James had school, and Jack was being as mischevious as always, so I couldn't have done a successful shoot with out their help. Thank you!

James-Myler: Newborn Shots {Rexburg, ID newborn photography}

2010-04-01T02:36:00.000-07:00

I took these pictures of my newest nephew James-Myler last weekend when he was 4 days old. He was a few days "late" (according to his due date) but boy was he worth the wait.

James snagged this shot for me. It's nice having someone taller than you around. :) I wanted to get a shot showing off that long hair. Alan teases that they have to give him a haircut to be BYUI appropriate since the hair covers the top of his ears. He also has a cowlick like Jack does, but James-Myler's is in the front so he has the coolest fo-hawk. I love it.

Little details

My brother was holding him to calm him down and by the time I turned around both he and James-Myler were sound asleep. I really like this picture because it is completely in the moment.

Congrats Al and Liz. You guys are amazing parents and we're so glad James-Myler is here! He is ADORABLE.

A while back I worked Craigos pizza in Rexburg and while I was there I worked with some awesome people. One of those awesome people happens to be Buddha. She is now engaged and she called us up one day to take her pictures. Both Michelle and I were way excited to do it and I really think that we got some fun photos. They were such a fun couple to work with. So here are some of the pictures.

On another note I been doing a little more research on lenses and I have feel in love with a 50 mm f 1.4 lens that I think could not only benefit us but could be way fun to have. So if you agree with me you should leave a comment and tell Michelle that I am right.

So it has been a little while since the last time that we have posted anything on here. We have a few more clients that we would like to show off and we just haven't found the time to get them up online. I think it is due to the fact that we have been planning our family's Disneyland trip almost non-stop. So now I am trying to squeeze in some blogging time somewhere in my work schedule. Does anyone else find it hard to find time?

Anyway here are some pictures of this lovely couple that we had the opportunity to photograph. It looks like it was a nice day but if I remember correctly it was somewhere around 7 degrees that morning. Rexburg weather can be fun, but I love the light that Rexburg provides and the shots that we got.

2010-02-24T19:59:00.000-08:00

So the other week we went out to take some engagement photos and I wore my tennis again. I still haven't learned that tennis and knee high snow are not good companions. Even though my legs got cut up from the icy snow and I was freezing, I had a great time with this couple. Plus I think that we got some great photos.

They have been so patient waiting for these pictures. We had so many pictures to go through with this fun wedding, and it is hard to choose which ones to post - but I wanted to post some for them to see. Here are just some of the details from their beautiful wedding.

And their getaway. I think Jenna looks so happy here. Love it.

2010-01-27T21:54:00.000-08:00

So we took these pictures the other day. I wanted to post these up as a sneak peek because it has been a little while from our last post. Hopefully, between everything that is going on, we will be able to get some more posts up. We will see though.

2010-01-08T23:15:00.000-08:00

So for Christmas we went out to Oregon to visit my family and we meet up with my friend from high school. We went out to one of my favorite parks in Oregon. It is right on the river and also has some great trails to walk through. After being in Idaho for ever I came to the conclusion that I love Oregon and the green. Anyway we had a ton of fun taking pictures of Matt and Sam, and I just have to say FIREPOWER!

Graduation Photos in Rexburg Idaho

2010-01-08T22:05:00.000-08:00

So before Christmas we had taken a few Graduation shots. It was pretty cold that day but we got some great frames. It has been a crazy begging of a new semester. I started a new job up on campus, and between that and the classes I really haven't had the time to post any photos on the blog. Hopefully I will get some more time to post some more that we took out in Oregon of some friends and of Christmas time. Not to mention I wanted to post our favorite photos of 2009. I have a feeling that post might be a while. But here are the graduation photos.

2009-12-21T12:10:00.001-08:00

So the other week we tried to take some pictures of this family and guess what, the weather decided to snow. It was crazy cold, so we decided after 15 min to call it a day and try another time. Well here are just a few of my favorites that we got in the 15 min.

One more day and we will be officially on vacation. Both Michelle and I are trying to get everything done so that we csn just have fun with the kids. So here are a few more new born shoots that we took last week.

2009-12-16T20:23:00.000-08:00

Between school, work, and photography we have been a little busy with everything. We had these pictures of the beautiful new born. I have been trying to get them up online so we could post them on here. I think these are so cute!

Family Photography {Rexburg Idaho}

2009-12-11T15:37:00.000-08:00

At the begging of this week I thought it was going to start to slow down so I could catch up on all the blog posts that I haven't done yet. Then I got a few calls this week and looks like we are going to be busy right up to the point when we leave for Oregon. I'm getting excited to leave Rexburg to get away from the cold but then my parents were telling me that they're getting freezing rain in the Oregon valley. Oh well at least I am used to the cold.

Here is some more pictures of a cute family that we took a week ago or so. That was a crazy Saturday. We had their shoot in the morning, another one at noon, and then a wedding reception in the evening.

2009-12-10T16:57:00.000-08:00

So it is starting to snow more and more, and get really cold here in Rexburg. I think this particular day it was something like 5 degrees outside. Yeah cold. Anyway this family is was fun to take their pictures and I am amazed at people ready to take off their jackets for the pictures. I love the winter look in these pictures.

2009-12-06T15:10:00.000-08:00

Before thanksgiving we took some pictures of this family. It just so happened to be freezing outside so we tried out the flight museum. It was my first time there and they had some great plains. Here are a couple of shots that we got.

2009-12-06T15:05:00.001-08:00

So the other day I had an opportunity to take a couple of pictures of a friend. We did a quick shoot and got a few pictures done. Here are two of my favorite.

Newborn Photography: Mia

2009-12-03T18:09:00.000-08:00

This little lady was actually named after me. Pretty neat, huh? I snapped a few pictures of my new niece when I was down in Utah helping her mom out the week after she was born. I wish I had had more time to make more. She is one beautiful baby.

We love you Mia! We're excited to watch you grow.

2009-12-01T01:19:00.000-08:00

So it is official winter is here. Last week it snowed and it was cold. This fun little family still wanted to get their pictures done in the snow. They turned out great, and I love the way the snow looks.

Jeannette & Brandt {Family Photographers Rexburg ID}

2009-11-21T19:11:00.000-08:00

So here is the rest of Jeannette and Brandt's photos from their session the other day. I am running off of five hours of sleep, so I don't really know what to type. I think it is so hard when your wife and kids leave you at home by your self. I am so used to them around, that our house seems so empty. That's probably why I stayed up was late last night. Because Michelle wasn't there to say go to bed.

Anyways, enough of me rambeling on about myself. Here are the pictures, which is of course the real reason you're on here.

Newborn Carter {Rexburg Idaho Photographers}

2009-11-21T18:06:00.000-08:00

A couple of days ago I put up the sneak preview of this little guys pictures. Here are some more for all those relatives and family members (especially grandparents.) I really think that we got a lot of great pictures, so I'll stop typing and let you take a look at them.

Baby Carter Sneak Peak {Rexburg Idaho, Photographers}

2009-11-18T13:48:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we photographed this little guy. He was so cute and wide awake for most of the shoot. We did however get this cute little smile. I wanted to through these up so that grandmas could see.

Sneak Peak {Rexburg Photography}

2009-11-18T13:46:00.001-08:00

Here is a little sneak peak for this cute little family I photographed on Monday. Their little girl was really cute and had huge smiles for me.

Claire & Micheal Family Photography {Rexburg Idaho}

2009-11-17T23:55:00.000-08:00

So this last Saturday we were able to take pictures Micheal and Claire's family. They were so fun, and so nice. It was snowing outside, that's how it always seems to go in Rexburg, and we still got some great shots.

Can you tell that it was cold outside?

Before I took real pictures with these two, I asked them to make the silliest face they could. They were so cute.

Cold Weather Dressing Tips

2009-11-16T08:37:00.000-08:00

With the weather turning colder there are some things you can do to keep a little warmer during the shoots. Here are some tips to have a more pleasant portrait photographing experience out in the cold.

Dress warm - Certain coats can look bulky and not make cute photographs, but others can look very nice for photographs - especially pea coats or coats that don't have brand naming written all over them or the sleeves. If anything, we can try a few without and then when its too cold we can take some with coats/beanies on. You may be surprised with how cute they turn out.

Layer - Long johns, or long sleeved onsies for the kids, work great! They are thermals that are meant to help keep your body heat close to your body and they have the added bonus of being compact so you don't have added bulkiness to pictures. Make sure to layer underneath sweaters. Throw on a cute scarf or jacket. The more layers the warmer you'll be.

Bring a blanket - Wrap your little ones up in a blanket in between shots to keep them warm. We shoot at multiple backdrops, so we can use a blanket while we are walking or moving around. I would suggest a blanket you wouldn't mind putting on a ground, so not a favorite.

Warm up in the car - If the kids are getting grumpy (or yourselves) because of the weather, don't hesitate to stop the shoot to warm up in the car for a minute or two.

If you are done, let us know - We are happy to keep shooting as long as you are. When you think you've had enough of the cold, don't be afraid to tell us. We are very flexible with our session allotment, especially during the winter months. The odds are we were still able to get some amazing pictures in, or we can re-schedule another quick session to try again for another (hopefully warmer) day.

Hope those tips help! We're excited to be working with you!

Bree and David {Engagement Rexburg Idaho Photography}

2009-11-10T10:38:00.000-08:00

This last Saturday I was able to take some engagement pictures out at Monkey Rock. Monkey Rock is near Rexburg but I would say it is more like Sugar City area. Basically it is a little swimming hole with a water fall. It is basically out in the middle of no where so we got some wonderful pictures out in the beautiful Idaho country. This was the first time I really tried to do some silly shots, which I think turned out really fun.

I also tried my luck with a panoramic of the water fall. Photoshop merged it and I think it did a great job. Even with running water.

J Family {Rexburg Idaho Photography}

2009-11-05T23:56:00.000-08:00

The other week we had a photo session out in downtown Rexburg, well as downtown as you can get. The family that we took pictures of were fun to work with and their daughter reminded me a lot of our son Jack.

I think the next two pictures are what reminds Jack so much. One second totally dismayed. I think this picture is cute.

And then totally happy when they get what they want.

C Family {Rexburg Photography}

2009-11-05T18:37:00.000-08:00

The last week has been wonderful for photo shots. It hasn't been to cold, but it has definitely been fall weather and colors. I was able to go out to this families house and take their family pictures. I love Idaho and how the country looks, especially during the fall. So combine the beautiful country and their beautiful grounds and home, I think that we got some awesome photos.

Also I have to say that these kids were fun to photograph, and they were really helpful and patient with me. So here are their pictures.

Family Photography {Rexburg Id}

2009-11-05T09:59:00.000-08:00

If you don't remember, the other week was completely freezing in Rexburg. Well Kali and her family braved the cold to take their family pictures. They were such a wonderful family to work with, and the kids were to cute. Especially when they were really wanting to go inside. Anyway here are their pictures.

So I thought this was to fun not to share. This is a sequential shot. I just love his faces and how it went from coy to look at me.

Foster Farms Chicken Maya

Todd and Brooke the Cow"people"

Here we go. Good Robot Picture. :)

Avery the Beautiful Fairy was a little sad at the shoot. Still so cute!

2009-10-29T15:39:00.000-07:00

So a couple of weeks ago we took some pictures for this family. I didn't know when we were setting up the day that I actually knew Brittney and Paul from my days of being single. It was fun to shoot their family, especially their little daughter Avery. She was hamming it up when she felt a little more comfortable around us. I had a really hard time picking out which pictures to use, but I got it down to these ten.

2009-10-27T12:02:00.000-07:00

So along with me trying to catch we have some engagement pictures of Kerri and Jeremy. I love photographing engagements because of all the love. This couple was so much fun to work with. Here are their pictures.

So just a little side note, I love his car.

Newborn Isaac and family {Rexburg Idaho Family Photography}

2009-10-27T11:54:00.000-07:00

So I am trying to catch up with our blog, because we have been so busy the lately. So I am taking a break from editing pictures and I am going to put up a few photos that we have been saving. Isaac and his family are some friends from our ward up here in Rexburg Idaho. So here are some of their pictures.

Family Photography {Rexburg Id}

2009-10-25T20:42:00.000-07:00

So a couple of weeks ago we donated a free photo session for a service auction at our church. We were excited to find out that our friends got the session. So this last Saturday we were finally able to take their pictures and this is just a little sneek peek of their pictures.

Tucker - Kid Photography {Rexburg, ID}

2009-10-23T21:06:00.000-07:00

There are some days when you get done with a shoot and you're so excited you just can't help working on all the pictures you just took. It probably didn't help that I just listened to an amazing photographer, the night before, talk about taking pictures. But that is a story in it's self.

We took these pictures of Tucker, and I have to say he was a trooper because it was cold outside. Wonderful Idaho weather.

Jack Newborn Photography {Rexburg Idaho}

2009-10-23T13:26:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago we had planned to take pictures of this little family. We had to reschedule though because this little stud decided to come early. So we changed days and took some newborn shots instead.

New Born {Rexburg Idaho Photographers}

2009-10-19T13:48:00.001-07:00

Last week we had the opportunity to take pictures of this little girl. It was of a friends daughter who I used to work with back at Craigo's here in Rexburg Idaho. She was so much fun to shoot, and even let us try something new that I have been wanting to try for a while.

Fall has Arrived

2009-10-17T15:08:00.000-07:00

2009-10-14T23:50:00.000-07:00

2009-09-27T01:29:00.000-07:00

Three Months Already. It seems like just yesterday she was born, and now she's laughing and cooing to us all the time. They grow up so quickly their first year. It seems like taking pictures is the only way to get time to stand still long enough to realize just how tiny and precious they are when they're so little.

I love you Layna Babe.

D Family Photo Shoot {Rexburg Idaho Photography}

2009-09-26T00:32:00.000-07:00

I wanted to get an updated family photo with our new baby girl, and since Jack is to the point where a tripod definitely won't captivate his attention we went searching for photographers. We found one by the name of Jaclyn Davis, fell in love with her work - and she was nice enough to agree to a photo swap (we took their pictures, she took ours).

We had a lot of fun on this shoot. Jackie and her husband Dane were really fun together, and their daughter Brooke was so cute. Seriously, one very adorable girl!

Jackie and Brooke. That's one adorable smile!

And whats a photo shoot without some pictures of just mom and dad?

We haven't gotten our pictures back (but they are in the mail so any day now!), but I'll let you know if Jackie posts any on her blog or not since I'm not sure if I should post them on here. I'm excited to get them back though! Seriously, check her site out. She's awesome.

We aren't done with the pictures yet but I thought I would post just a few of this fun family.

Baby Phoebe: We literally have about a dozen of her fun smiles caught on camera.

And a quick one of Gwendolyn. Michelle tried talking me into having Elena's middle name be Gwendolyn (which is a form of Wendy- her sister/best friend's name) when we were going through baby names so she was really excited to actually meet a Gwen. :)

2009-09-21T00:18:00.000-07:00

Remember that Photo Contest from last month Michelle keeps mentioning? Well this is the other family that won one of the free photo shoots from that! We actually took their son Logan's newborn pictures a little while ago, so they were happy to get some updated family photos and some pictures of Logan's older brother Ethan.

(Check out little dudes smile)

(Sorry - I love Ethan's face in this one. (:)

My friend Calvin had a baby girl a few weeks ago and I was able to take some pictures for them. And the bonus? They barbequed me up a hamburger for lunch in between picture taking. Can't ask for anything better than that. Congrats Calvin. She's one sweet little girl.

K&G Engagement {Rexburg Idaho Photographer}

2009-09-20T01:25:00.000-07:00

Kassi and Garry are the type of people that you are instantly drawn to. They were such a genuine, fun, happy couple and it was a blast to take their photos. Like I mentioned before, you couldn't help but smile when you saw the two of them together. Such an adorable couple.

Rosalee {Rexburg Idaho Photographer}

2009-09-18T23:24:00.000-07:00

Rosalee is Zeke's sister who won the free photo shoot from us for entering our photo contest we held in August. (Wow, that was a lot of links for one sentance...) When little brother Zeke had had enough of his photo shoot we got quite a few fun shots of big sister.

James and I are used to being around toddlers, having one ourselves. (: But we found ourselves in awe of this little girl!!! She is just three weeks older than Jack making her three months shy of being 2 - and already this little girl can talk in paragraphs. She went around our home naming our toys and explaining why she chose that name, telling us stories, talking to her brother like a kindergartner, singing church songs. Honestly I felt like she was a 6 year old trapped in a one year old body. So awesome. We think she's seriously a baby genius! Really Marie I think you should video tape her because this is not a common occurrence! Amazing.

And aside from the fun time of visiting with Marie and James and their beautiful family, Rosalee even taught Jack a new word from the photo shoot that he likes to tell us all the time now: Cheese. (Say cheese!)

H Family {Rexburg Idaho Photography}

2009-09-18T22:55:00.000-07:00

Recognize this beautiful family?

I'll give you a few hints...

And here they are 4 months later! What a difference just a few months make in the growth of a new baby! Check out that smile! Dawson is such a cutie!

Cute smiles run in the family. Jacksen had so much fun exploring.

We had a lot of fun following this cute curly haired boy! I actually use to be in the same ward as his mother Sarah when I lived in Royal Crest Apartments my sophomore year in college, so it was fun to see her and remember the good ol' days. :)

Andy - Newborn Photoshoot {Rexburg Idaho Photography}

2009-09-18T15:00:00.000-07:00

This little dude was one sweet baby. How could you not fall in love with Andy's gorgeous eyes?

I think this is such a sweet idea for a picture. Elisha and Lance adopted Andy through LDS Family Services, an adoption service that a few of my friends actually are also involved in. Andy was definitely worth the wait for his loving parents.

Do any two people look more in love? Honestly, I couldn't help but smile the entire photo shoot just watching them. ADORABLE!

This little guy won his photo shoot from a friend via the photo contest we held last month. I think you can see why I titled this post the way I did. Is there anything cuter in the world than an alert and curious newborn?

I know it has been a little bit from our last post, but we have been really busy with everything going on, and all the sessions we have been doing. The editing really takes up some time. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago we had a chance to photograph this little darling baby, who was about ten days old.

More of Baby Payton

2009-09-04T00:01:00.000-07:00

We had another great opportunity to photograph baby Payton and this time we took advantage of the weather and headed outside. I wish we could post some more, but our internet is not being friendly.

Family pictures {Rexburg Idaho Photographer}

2009-08-20T22:02:00.000-07:00

We were able to take pictures of these cute families a few weeks ago! James was roommates with Paul in college and his wife Nicole wanted some pictures of her family while they were all together. Here are a few pictures for your visual pleasure. :)

AND THE WINNER IS... {Rexburg Photographers}

2009-08-16T16:26:00.000-07:00

First, we want to THANK EVERYONE who entered in the photo contest. It was SO FUN for us, and we hope you had fun too.

Now for the moment you've all been waiting for... THE WINNER of a FREE PHOTOSHOOT is...

Duh Duh Duh

Jeannette Carey -who said: I think all the pictures are beautiful but I think PERFECTION said it all...

CONGRATULATIONS JEANNETTE!!!

And thank you everyone for entering in the photo shoot! We had so many fun comments! We really appreciated the extra time many of you took to explain why you chose the picture and why it was a favorite.

Here are our top favorites:

Marie and Jesse: #17 for three reasons. I like the lighting of the picture, how unposed the girl appears, and how innocent the image is. I think we all need to take more time to smell the roses in our lives.

Jolyn Laney: I like #17 picking wildflowers. When I look at it, I think about the times when I thought there were no cares in the world. The word that comes to mind when I look at that picture is "bliss." It calms me down and says that everything's ok.

LJ Perotto: My fav is sleeping mae. Not only is it a great pic, but it shows the beauty of a child, the comfort, the security of family and the joy of being together

Liji and Christina: My favorite is #4, Happy Newborn. I think that she is having happy dreams about her life in the pre-existence and being with her Heavenly Father. So Perfect. Nathan and Katelyn: I like #17 most, Picking Wildflowers. It reminds me of when I was younger and enjoyed picking the pretty flowers around my house. It also depicts what little girls are all about. :)

Erin Wood Photography: I really enjoy the photo covered bridge silhouette. As an artist and photographer as well I am drawn to this photo. The composition is gorgeous, the contrasting light is outstanding and I find using their silhouettes unique. Keep up the great work!

Daniel and Ashley: My vote is for #4 because a moment like that can be hard to capture! I am expecting a little one in November so to see that little girl and her precious smile makes me more and more excited!
Steph & Ty: Picture #4 makes me smile. I love how you captured that sweet and priceless expression. She is beautiful. I think she was thinking of heaven when you placed her in the soft, white fluffy blanket. Perfect!

Norgerocks: i love picture # 15. to me it shows hope and that there is light in the end of the tunnel. It hit me really hard because a friend of mine is dying of cancer at age 18 right now and she feels like her life is over. This picture brings some light into my life and i feel like no matter how bad things are there is always the light to guide you.
AND...

Because we had SO many awesome comments we thought we would do a SECOND photo Shoot GIVEAWAY!!!

:)

And since the 2nd name I picked was MY BROTHER KEVIN (and he gets them for free anyways) we decided to draw another name. :)

And the other WINNER IS...

ANNA: I love #3-Covered Bridge Family Sillouette. I love how is shows the love between husband and wife and the love they have for their daughter. This entry is for Marie James! Good luck Marie! I can't wait to see beautiful pictures of Rosalee and Zeke!

CONGRATULATIONS TO JEANNETTE AND MARIE (From Anna). I'm not sure whether Jeannette was going to keep the photo shoot for herself (it looks like you're from NewJersey) or give it to a friend/family member), so just let us know - either in a comment or in an email (mr.rognon@rognonphotography.com)

and in case anyone was wondering...

HAPPY NEWBORN won with the most votes cast. with #20. Perfection coming in with one vote less for 2nd place. :) People must like babies! :) Just a few votes behind - Covered Bridge, Pouting Toddler, and Wild Flowers.
We love all the support and kind comments! Thanks everyone!

Baby Mae: Rexburg Idaho Infant Photographer

2009-07-29T23:31:00.001-07:00

We took Kae's maternity pictures earlier this summer and were happy to be able to take some pictures of their sweet baby girl Mae.

And a family picture from outside. Such a cute family.

Sneak Peak Danielle: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-07-29T23:27:00.000-07:00

Jessica asked me to take some pictures of Danielle, who turned 9 this summer. We showed up and Danielle did all the work - telling us where she wanted to pose, what she thought would look nice, and how she wanted the pictures done. It was a lot of fun and she had such a cute and sweet personality. I love how the pictures turned out. I'll post more pictures once Jessica has a chance to look through them.

The B Fam Graduation Pics: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-07-19T23:47:00.000-07:00

Here are some more pictures of this beautiful family that we took in honor of Heather and Cory's graduation. We got in a lot of fun shots and they turned out great. On a fun note - the day we took their pictures was the same day they found out baby #2 was a girl at their ultrasound! I thought that was pretty fun.

One month already...

2009-07-19T23:41:00.000-07:00

Our little girl is a month old already. How time flies!

Newborn Logan: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-07-19T14:26:00.000-07:00

This sweet little angel was a lot of fun to shoot and I love how the pictures turned out. It's so fun to be able to photograph these tiny babies and see their personalities even when they are so young. And check out all that hair!

Sneak Peak - The B. Fam: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-07-18T03:12:00.000-07:00

We took some family pictures for the B. family. Heather and Cory are both graduating this week (huge achievement I might add-especially with a family) and we caught some really fun shots for them with their son Isaiah. There are a lot of good ones to choose to put up, but thankfully our baby girl finally decided to stay asleep (hopefully) so I'll get them up later. :)

Logan - Sneak Peak: Newborn Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-07-17T22:52:00.001-07:00

This little fella was just shy of 2 weeks old. Isn't he darling?

She's here: Newborn Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-07-07T10:26:00.000-07:00

We had a baby girl, Elena, on June 13th - a few weeks earlier than we were expecting. She is breathtaking and adorable, and we can't imagine life without her.

One day old and so tiny...

1 week old...

(I love her little smile)

10 days old...

{Newborn} Tayven: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-06-07T00:26:00.000-07:00

We took pictures of this sweet little angel this morning, and once I started looking through them I couldn't help but post a few of my favorites. Tayven did a wonderful job and we got a lot of great shots in.

Sneak Peek - Baby Kyle: Rexburg, Idaho Photographer

2009-06-03T15:03:00.000-07:00

We had the pleasure of taking this little dude's pictures yesterday. I just had to share this picture I saw when I was looking through them. What a stud.

Newborn Ashton: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-06-03T13:58:00.000-07:00

This little guy was so fun to photograph! Thanks Amber and Trever for asking us to take his pictures. He is adorable.

Sneak Peek: {Newborn} Ashton: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-05-29T09:23:00.001-07:00

Yesterday James and I took some pictures for Amber and Trevor of their new week old son Ashton. You can't really see in this picture, but let me tell you - this little guy has a load of hair to show off. He sure is one cute little dude.

Little Leighton: Rexburg, Idaho Newborn Photographer

2009-05-21T15:22:00.001-07:00

Here is Erika and Jack's little girl Leighton. I was lucky enough to snap a quick picture of her smiling. I LOVE it.

I wish there had been more time to get more of a variety of shots of all her cute hair bows, hats, and headbands Erika brought. I will say that James will more than likely be very grateful if we don't end up having a girl (like he thinks) because I can definitely see myself becoming pretty obsessed with all the cute girl things that I now know are out there.

Her great grandmother quilted this blanket for her by hand. So gorgeous.

I love the flower headband and shoes. Too cute.

Check out those tiny toes... Unbelievable.

More pics from Michelle's Maternity Session: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-05-19T23:22:00.000-07:00

Here are some more of the maternity pictures James took. I thought he did a great job. Much better than I had expected. He has a talent of making you feel beautiful, when you would imagine all the pictures to make you look just as large and awkward as you feel. Thanks honey. You did a great job.

Here's our 'studio' shot... We don't know if we're having a boy or girl baby, hence the boy and girl shoe. We'll see next month. :)

The F. Family: Rexburg Idaho Family Photographer

2009-05-19T10:45:00.001-07:00

We visited my sister this weekend, and we had a quick minute to take some pictures for them. Unfortunately it was at noon, which is about the worst possible time to take pictures, so we found the only shady spot we could.

The girls: Elizabella (4) and Siena (11 1/2 months)

Mom and the girls. Dad with McKay (William wasn't interested in getting his picture taken)

William (7) and McKay (who turned 6 just a few days before this picture was taken)

And of course I had to throw in a picture of the other little ones that were there. This is Jeanette's girl Allison (10 months), and our Jack.

Danielle and Chris Wedding: Rexburg Idaho Wedding Photographer

2009-05-19T10:13:00.000-07:00

One of my best friends growing up's little sister, Danielle, got married this weekend and asked us to do her pictures. It was a lot of fun to be there at Danielle's wedding and to catch up with her family. She and Chris have the most adorable daughter too, as you can see below.

You have to admit: They definitely know how to have a fun time. :)

Michelle's Maternity Session

2009-05-18T19:10:00.001-07:00

Well we finally found some time in our busy schedules to take some family pictures - or more specifically, maternity shots for Michelle. We decided that since we have less than 35 days until the estimated arrival of the little peanut, it was about time to get some maternity pictures in. The weather never seems to like us, so we didn't have a very long shoot because Michelle wanted Jack out of the cold, but we were able to get some pretty good shots in I thought. I'll have Michelle post more when she gets a chance to look through them.

We're excited for the baby to come next month. Hopefully we'll have things calmed down a little by then so we can get a little more prepared and set up for another family member.

Dawson Newborn Session: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-05-18T16:00:00.000-07:00

Here are some more pictures from our Newborn photo shoot I did of baby Dawson from a few weeks ago. I had a lot to choose from. He is one darling baby don't you think?

I love these shots of Dawson with his mom. Emily is a gorgeous model anyways, but its fun to see just how tiny this little guy really is. So adorable. We tried to get some cut bare bun shots in there with Dawson, but he did not like it very much. After trying a few different positions we decided he liked his diaper a little too much so we have a lot more of those shots. :)

Erika Maternity Session: Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-05-18T15:51:00.000-07:00

Here are some more shots of Erika's maternity session from a few weeks ago. She and her husband Jack were a lot of fun to shoot, and we are looking forward to taking their newborn pictures of their little girl Leighton this week.

Sneak Peek Erika Maternity Shoot: Rexburg Idaho Maternity Photographer

2009-05-13T10:08:00.000-07:00

Erika and Jack got these pictures in the day before their scheduled induction with their daughter. We're glad we were able to find some places to shoot away from the horrible Rexburg wind, and I think we got some pretty amazing shots. Here is your sneak peek of their maternity session. Congratulations you two!

Newborn Dawson Sneak Peek: Rexburg Idaho Newborn Photographer

2009-05-11T12:47:00.001-07:00

While James was out of town last week I did my first photo shoot on my own since October. It actually went really well and we got a lot of cute shots in of this little guy. He was just a day shy of three weeks old, and so tiny. We took pictures of Dawson's mom for her maternity shoot last month, so it was fun to get to finally meet the little guy. More pictures to come soon.

More of Baby William: Rexburg Idaho Newborn Photographer

2009-05-04T23:27:00.001-07:00

Here are some more pictures of baby William's shoot from Sunday. He was one very alert little boy for the few hours we were there. Check out those tiny feet!

Kae's Maternity Session: Rexburg Idaho Maternity Photographer

2009-05-04T23:06:00.000-07:00

Here are some more pictures of Kae and Chris' maternity session we took a few weeks ago. They are expecting a baby girl any time now and we're excited to meet her when we do her newborn photo shoot. Enjoy.

(I wanted to do a shot like this with James and I, so we did a test run and I thought it turned out rather cute)

Kae's mother flew over from Japan to help her out the last little bit of Kae's pregnancy and to help her when the baby comes. It was the first time she visited the college campus, so it was fun to capture them talking together here.

Sneak Peek: William: Newborn Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-05-04T00:26:00.000-07:00

We took some maternity pictures of baby William's parents a month and a half ago, and we were finally able to meet this little bundle of joy. He was WIDE AWAKE the entire session, but we were still able to get some really sweet shots in of this little guy. It actually turned out being his baby blessing day, so that was fun to be able to capture some photos of him on his special day. Congratulations Crystal and Tyler. He is adorable.

Sneak Peek: Alan and Tommi Wedding

2009-05-02T01:52:00.001-07:00

My little brother Alan tied the knot to this beautiful young woman. They asked James to take their wedding pictures in Washington, so we made the long trek from Idaho and actually found sunshine for most of the trip. It was a very beautiful wedding and we were both glad we were able to be there for it. They also had a very fun African themed wedding reception that was held later that afternoon, with some great food and a lot of family and friends to visit with.

There are literally dozens and dozens of pictures I could post, but until I get more edited for the happy couple this is your sneak peek for the Washington wedding.

Congratulations you two!

Sneak Peek: Cute Family Photo - Rexburg, Idaho Portrait Photographer

2009-05-02T01:40:00.001-07:00

We had the opportunity of taking some really fun pictures for this cute family last weekend. There are so many pictures to go through, but I had to post this fun picture. If you couldn't tell, Maddi, their 2 year old daughter, was very excited to be out exploring the place. James played peek a boo with her and got some really cute shots. More photos soon. :)

Sneak Peek: Kae Maternity - Rexburg, Idaho Photographer

2009-05-02T01:30:00.000-07:00

Kae and Chris are due with their first little girl in just a few weeks. We were lucky enough to photograph this beautiful couple from Japan. More pictures to follow shortly.

Emily's Maternity Session - Rexburg Idaho Maternity Photographer

2009-04-21T21:21:00.000-07:00

Emily was 37 weeks along at the photo shoot and looked absolutely stunning. I hope I will look that good when I'm full term. She and her husband Mike were up for anything, so we ended up with some very nice shots.

Of course we had to get some shots in with the whole family. Their son Jackson is only a few months older than our Jack, so it was fun to see them interact with each other at the shoot.

I love the family shots... Even though for the life of us we couldn't get sweet Jackson to smile.

Michelle: Graduation - Rexburg Idaho Photographer

2009-04-08T14:29:00.000-07:00

Michelle asked if we could take some quick pictures for her graduation invitation. Again, the weather was amazingly awful (thank you Rexburg!), but we were still able to get some beautiful shots in.
