Blue-eyed Gal

 I'm gearing up for senior portraits right now.  If you or someone you know is interested in being one of my senior reps, e-mail me for all of the details.  It will be fun.  Promise

Isn't this gal jsut beautiful?  I love her eyes.  She was completely at ease in front of the camera, and even gave us pointers on what is and isn't cool to say....something I'll need to know for those upcoming senior shots.  For example.  Sic is a good thing, so is lame.  You can't say groovy or dorky to a teen without getting the universal eye-roll.  At least paint splatters are back in style. So are belts on top of your shirt and converse sneakers (can I call them sneakers?).   I'm going to pull out my trunk of old high school clothes so I can look awesomingly rockin for my seniors!

What great little mom this 3 year old was.  She loved her brother, and was so helpful while their mom tried, and tried to get hm to sleep.  She was also fun to photograph with those amazingly huge eyes. 

Worldwide Photo Walk

I love the Worldwide Photo Walk!!  There's no pressure to make sure anyone is smiling.  I can take pictures of trash, artwork, people, anything that makes me smile.  This will be my entry for the competition this year.  I was shooting in front of Sunrise Cyclery when the owner came out  Along with running the shop, he's an artist.  He shared some of his work with us.  I absolutely love his Kokopelli.

This shot is from Jeff's enormous sewing machine.  He uses it to sew his eco-friendly seats from used bike tires.  He fills the seats with pop bottles, shipping padding, really anything that is clean and fits.  The chairs are remarkably comfy.  To see images of his seats, check out my webpage at: http://www.milestonephotographyutah.com/Other

It's confession time.  I live in Utah and I don't ski.  I've lived here 18 years and have never been, not once.  There are days in January that I look out the window and wonder what it is like.  I have images of myself speeding downward while  I race down a hill, but have yet to try.  That being said, I make up for my lack of winter sports prowess from May thru October. My blog is a victim of beautiful weather.   I blame my negligence for updating it on the weather. I keep meaning to sit down at the computer and update, but I keep getting sucked outside to enjoy this perfect summer we're having.  After all, who wants to sit at a computer when you could be outside.  That's what winter is for.   I'll grab a cup of hot cocoa, wrap my "it's not a snuggie, it's a warm wrap" around me and fill my blog with photos of fresh spring flowers, summer days, autumn leaves then. 

Brothers

This was a great shoot, complete with a Dallas Cowboys fan and a cowboy.  I always encourage clients of all ages to bring something with them that tells the viewer who they are. 

Travis and Tawny

I had the chance to be a second photographer for the amazingly talented Heather from AYA Photography (http://www.ayaphotography.com/). When we arrived in Morgan, Utah, it was a balmy 44 and drizzling rain.  Not quite ideal weather for an outdoor wedding.  The guys wanted to head out for some golf course shots, which were a blast!!!  I felt so bad for the girls in their dresses, but they were troopers.  The wedding was beautiful, and I was able to capture some great moments.  I've posted a lot more than I typically do on my Milestone Fanpage on Facebook.  Be sure to check it out!

Beautiful

Isn't this little gal just beautiful?  I love those freckles, they are so cute!  A baptism is so special for these kids, and I was thrilled to be part of capturing her big day.
