Meet Patrick, Raquel and their family.

We went to Liberty Park to take these pictures.

I had fun taking these pictures with this family. Raquel and I went to Snow College together and it was fun to see her again.

Mirror photography

Amber taking a snooze.

I decided to try some pictures of Amber with a three way mirror in the background. 

I couldn't resist not taking this picture. Despite the binky, just look at how intense her eyes are in this photograph.

I love when little kids laugh. It's quite contagious.

Meet Andy, Breanne, and Lance.

I took these at the West Jordan water conservatory park. I had a lot of fun taking these pictures.

Lance's birthday is coming up and he will be one. It amazes me how much an infant learns in their first year.

I have become fascinated by hands. Hands and feet. I love this picture of Lance's hands.

Lance was curious about my camera. I took this one as he was coming up to investigate. I love it though with the parents of Lance in the background it became one of my favorite pictures.

Lily and Cort

I took these pictures at Memory Grove in Salt Lake City.

I have a photographer's bag for when I photograph children.
I fill it full of snacks and props like bubbles to keep the children entertained while I take their picture.

I don't have a professional studio yet. Later in my life I might purchase fancier equipment but it's amazing the pictures you can still take with just a Nikon d3100 camera.

Every time I take a picture I learn something new. For example, I learned a lot about using natural outdoor lighting while taking these photographs.

I am grateful for my cousin and her family for allowing me to post these pictures so I can show my progress to others.

Amber

Meet my niece, Amber. I love taking pictures of infants. They are not mobile yet so it's easier to get the picture I want with them.

I take photos with a Nikon d3100. I love it! I am only a beginner but I want to learn all that I can about photography.

I like taking pictures because it freezes time. Photography to me is a way to remember the good times I have had with family and friends. We are only in a moment once and that's why I take pictures.

I can take over two hundred pictures in under an hour. The beauty of digital is that you can delete the ones you don't want.

I take quite a lot of pictures of my family. With those pictures I turn them into slideshows and at the end of the year I make a dvd of all the different pictures that I have taken throughout the year. So in a way for me, Photography is family history. A way to document each moment so the next generation can watch and learn from what we have taken from life.
