For Michelle....

And all the rest of those Lambournes :) And yes, every single person in this picture is a Lambourne (except for my two cutie Van Reusens!) because they only had boys. 5 boys. Who have now produced 9 granddaughters and one grandson. Which means that pretty much none of the great-grandchildren will be Lambournes by name.....but that's not really the issue for this post.

So I finished editing and couldn't figure out which ones to put on the blog. So I "narrowed" it down to 30. Um...that's a lot. So, rather than putting them ALL on here and making a run for longest post of the century, I decided to make a slide show of all the edited pictures from our big family shoot. (minus the ones for Chad & Jenn...I'm still working on those!)

Enjoy!

Family

Take one sick little girl, two busy toddlers, one crazy preschooler, one grouchy baby, five older (and a bit bored) kids, throw in 4 sets of parents, one set of grandparents, and an uncle....and this is what you get.

FAMILY





PS: There is more to come when I'm not so tired :)

Isn't 3 fun!?

She's beautiful.

Yes, she's mine. But there's no denying this is one beautiful little girl. And she's 3 now.

Krystal's Bridals

I did this Session on Friday evening. Sorry for the bit of slacking on getting your sneak peek posted :) I was pretty sick all weekend and didn't do much other than sleep.

Krystal is getting married in a couple of weeks so we headed out to get her Bridal photography done. I love shooting bridals. It's fun to see the Bride so relaxed; beautiful and happy without the stress of the actual wedding day on her shoulders.

Only one picture of the full dress on this peek....and it's not TOO up close and detailed. Just in case George sneaks a peek too :) Check back after the wedding to see the entire dress up close. Krystal's Mom made the dress! And it deserves some oogling :)

Hope you like them Krystal (and Mom, and Dad...and everybody else)!

And baby makes three (or 6, but who's counting)

Remember this cute mom? The Mother to be. Again. She had her baby and brought in the little beauty for pictures today. Not quite two weeks old; so precious and petite.

Thanks for bringing her in, and I hope you enjoy your peek!

Busy Beauties

I've had the joy of photographing these two little cuties before and I loved it. Today was no different. Well, it was a bit different. We were shooting outside, which meant than in stead of trying to keep busy big sister on the backdrop I was able to let her run around and play while capturing her whenever I could. She certainly seemed to enjoy this way a lot more :)

Thanks for bringing them again! It's always a ton of fun for me (and hopefully your girls are enjoying it too!). Here's your peek :)

More Boys!

Before you look at this and think "Okay, Alysha's crazy. That is a pregnant woman and thus clearly a girl..." let me explain. The boy is in the belly :)

This cute Mom is 31 weeks pregnant with her second child. Her first was a girl, and now they're having a boy. That's how I had it all planned out in my head when I decided I wanted to have children. I would have a boy, then a girl, then a boy and back and forth until I decided I was done. Reality in stead gave me a girl, then a girl, then a girl, and a girl....and another girl! I can't imagine my life without any of my girls, but there is still a part of me which hopes for a boy one day.

Isn't this mom super cute!? I know I don't look like that at 31 weeks....which is probably why I have no photographs of me when I'm that pregnant.

I hope you enjoy your peek!

I have the best job in the world!

It doesn't feel like a job. Not even close. Isn't that what "they" say: if you do something you love then it's not work? I get to spend time with cute kids, happy families, and loving couples. How on earth could that be work? I love it!

This little boy made my day! He was SO cute with easy smiles and such a chunker! And being able to photograph yet another little boy. I loved it. If I never get to have a boy of my own at least I'll get to enjoy spending a little bit of time with other people's sons :)

Thanks for bringing him in and enjoy your peek!

Brothers & Sisters

I love watching brothers and sisters interact. It's so fun to see the dynamic. It makes me a want a boy...but you've probably heard me say that before...

These three cuties came to my studio today for some updated photos. The youngest little sister wasn't in the mood for pictures, but that's okay! We still snuck in some adorable photos without her even realizing it. Big sister and big brother were happy to ham it up for the camera. It was a fun shoot :)

Enjoy your peek!

Photographing the Photographer

I've never done this before. Family portraits for a fellow photographer. I was a bit nervous about it but I think it went well :) Cute kids and a happy Mom always make for a good family session. (Sorry, Dads, but it's true. Mom's mood really does set the tone for a session).

We hit downtown Salt Lake for this one. It was early enough that the lighting was great and there were no other people around (well, except for one oddly friendly man...but there are always bound to be some eccentric people in the streets of any downtown!).

It was fun! Enjoy your sneak peek :)

Six months old!

I was able to photograph this little cutie when she was 4 months old. I loved one of the pictures so much that I have it on display in my studio. When her parents called to ask if I would do her 6 month portraits, and a family session too I was so excited! She is such a cutie and you couldn't ask for nicer, happier parents to work with too. I was expecting today's session to go great, and it did :) And, once again, I adore one of her pictures! But I'm running out of space on my studio walls...haha. It will for sure be up on my website though!

Thanks again! Enjoy your peek :)
