Recap! I'm Back!

Hello friends! What a ridiculously long time it's been! Goodness gracious. I've missed you all. Basically, my allotted free space was used up before the end of the year, so unless I wanted to start paying money (it was tempting...) I was forced to wait until the New Year before I could post any more photos. Annoying, yes, but I'm just happy 2013 is here so we can get things up and running again! By the way, a huge thank you to everyone that told me how much they loved/missed my blog! You guys are so wonderful and really know how to make a girl feel good about herself :).
So, since so much time has passed, these photos aren't exactly 'new' but more of a recap of my photographic adventures that I never got a round to posting. Warning- this may be the longest post of all-time.-

Let's get started.

In August, I had the opportunity to photograph my great-uncle's wedding! Now, I am by no means a professional. Photography is my hobby, not my career, so the thought of being responsible for documenting a wedding day was beyond intimidating! I was scared to death...Luckily, I was blessed with wonderful weather, and tons of amazing family who helped me pose people, rally everyone together, get babies to smile, etc. I ended up taking a bajillion photos but am only posting a few. It was a beautiful day and I was so glad to be a part of it!

 I spy...ME! haha. Someone was kind enough to snap this photo so I could be with the family :)

Tehe, I love the expression on their faces :D 

I have adorable second cousins!! :) At least I think that's what they are..gahh, I've never mastered the art of how that works :P.

Love this! Family photos are indeed exhausting... 

Grandpa and grandbaby :)

Another fantastic event that happened in August was my Daddy's graduation!! :D Four long years of hard work, and he earned his Eds. Degree. That's an Educational Specialist Degree and it falls between a Masters and a Doctorate, aka. TONS of work and super awesomeness :). My grandma, aunt, uncle and cousin from Texas were able to come celebrate with us which was so fun! :) Go Daddy! and of course... Go cougars!

 Please be aware that the date listed is for his Bachelors. Confusing, I know...:P

 There he is! Jk, I have yet to find him although I believe he's somewhere on the far left side.

Future BYU grad? :)

Aww, she's so proud of him :).

 Brothers!

Love my Daddy :) 

 The famous cougar which ever grad needs a picture by.

Well, summer came and went and soon it was the best season of the year...AUTUMN! Love it, love it. In American Fork, there's this darling little fall-ish petting zoo place that really gets you in the mood for everything Autumn. I got to go with my sister and her family and document the cuteness of it all :).

I was too big to ride...:( Darn.

I LOVE this pic. It totally captures the essence of their cute little familia :)

So I've noticed that many photographer's seem to have a strange obsession with shoes...(usually in engagement photos). I decided to see what the deal was. Turns out, they're super fun to capture! Also, someone once told me that when looking through old photos, one of the most interesting things to look at are the shoes. So. End of story :)

More shoes. Favorite pic of the day, I think. :)

 Um, yeah, is that not the most epic pony in the world?? I think so.

 Jeff thinks so too.

 Like father, like son. So sweet :)

 Like other father, like other son.

Well, before I knew it, it was CHRISTMAS! I really didn't capture that many Christmas photos which is an epic tragedy for sure!! However, I did have the opportunity to take family Christmas photos for my beautiful friend Becca! 

Yay! I love these guys! :D

 This child has the biggest, bluest eyes you've ever seen. Soo cute!

 I decided to get a little 'artsy' in my editing. Way fun :)

 Love this girl! :)

I. LOVE. THIS. 

So there ya have it. I may have missed some stuff, but don't worry- I won't hesitate to do more posts and you can quote me on that ;).

It's good to be back :).
