I had the pleasure to take a few pictures of this sweet family.  Due to Utah’s uncertain weather we had to reschedule their session a few times.  It was good that we did since the evening we went out had the most amazing light and their pictures turned out great.

samsung galaxy s2 white: Just located your website coming from another web page! Am i been mindless, I can't appear to get the url to your current Rss feed anyplace on the webpage? Will you be able to let me know what it is?

We had the opportunity to get away fro a little bit and spend some time in our favorite place… Hawaii.  While there I attempted to get a family picture of my family using a tripod and a self-timer.  It didn’t exactly go as planned.  After 2 hours of trying and dealing with wind and rain, I walked away with 2 pictures that I will hang on my walls.  I will hire a pro next time.  Vacation photos are a once in a lifetime event to capture.

I had the pleasure of meeting this great family today.  The “W” family have a beautiful home in Midway and all 31 members of the family were staying there.  Here is one quick sneak peek from their session…

Johanna: Wow. That's great. The family must be so happy to have this. Nice job!

Now that Christmas sessions are all done and sent off, I thought I would give a few peeks at some of the sessions over the past month…

First up, SEVEN kids in studio.  It was crazy and wild but we ended up with some great shots…

Finally, this family came to Park City/Heber for a ski vacation over Thanksgiving.  You don’t have mountains like this in San Diego!

There are a few more sessions to post but I’ll save those for another day…

Johanna: That mountain shot doesn't even look real! We don't have those where I am either! Beautiful work. Your clients are very lucky!

Thanks for coming to see me “B” family.  Your kids were so well behaved.  It really made my job easy.  We got lucky with great light despite the threat of rain.  Here are a few from your session…

Becky Eastman: These are beautiful. I LOVE the sunshine image so much! That one needs a big frame.

I am caught up in the busy season with everyone wanting family portraits for their Christmas Cards and gifts.  This is one recent session that I couldn’t help but blog.  To all others waiting for a blog post, it will come soon! As a reminder, sessions will be blogged for sharing after orders are complete.

The C family was such a pleasure to photograph.  Their girls knew exactly what to do and were so well behaved.  Amy is a talented crafter and I get a lot of my hats and headbands from her for studio work.  Check out her ETSY store here.

I still have a few openings for Christmas portraits.  Contact me as soon as possible if you want an outdoor session.  There will be snow on the ground before we know it!

Jenifer: Beautiful pictures. Those two girls are so adorable.

Becky Eastman: These are all great but the top one is my favorite! Love the beautiful colors!

This sweet family only had one request for their session.  They wanted a memory of the Provo River.  Luckily the Heber Valley has plenty of beautiful locations overlooking the Provo River… if you can avoid the fly-fishers!  We thankfully found a spot that wasn’t busy and had the perfect backdrop.  Their little girls were such troopers and did great taking pictures.  Enjoy your sneak peek “P” family.  I can’t wait for you to see the rest!

P family: Laura! These are so great. And I am blown away by the picture of the two girls. I cant believe you got that shot with all of the squirming. I seriously cant wait to see the rest. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing family.  A few of the kids are moving across the country to attend a few different prestigious universities.  Since this was the last time they would be all together for a while, they made sure to document this stage in their life with a family picture.  It was great to meet you all.  Enjoy your sneak peek and I will have your full gallery up shortly.

Congratulations to the G family for winning the Cutest Kid Contest I ran last month.  I will post more from their amazing session over the next few days.

There are finally signs of spring showing up everywhere.  The birds are beginning to return, the tulips are poking through the ground, the snow is melting, and we can finally see our grass again after 4 months of it being buried.  It is time for a sale to celebrate Spring.  Have you bought the most adorable Easter outfits and need great pictures to go along with them?  Do you have a baby that has grown and changed since thier last pictures at Christmas? Do you want to freshen up your walls and get some great new pictures hung?  Now is the time.  I only do a special like this twice a year.  Email laurameans@me.com to book today!
