Snowed in

It has been snowing all day and from being from Florida, it scares me to drive in the snow (even after living here for 11 years). So what is there to do? Of course I set up some lights and decide to make my kids do a photo shoot with me. Here is the end result. I have to say that I am pleased.

Free Shoot

I am giving away a free shoot to a family/person who really needs it. It will be a regular shoot, plus 20 photos at high resolution on a CD. This will be going to a family in need and who you think deserves it above anyone else. If you have a candidate for this shoot email me (littlemischiefsstudios@yahoo.com) why you think that they deserve this shoot and on January 17 2010 I will be announcing who has been chosen. This is for anyone in the entire state of Utah.

A mother's love

"Making the decision to have a child-it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
--Elizabeth Stone

Children are a blessing to all of us

“The child must know that he is a miracle, that since the beginning of the world there hasn't been, and until the end of the world there will not be, another child like him.”- Pablo Casals

I have been blessed to do these photos for such and amazing family. I encourage all to read their blog (http://fourinthefam.blogspot.com)

The importance of family

The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.--Theodore Hesburgh

I love this quote. When I did this session with this family I loved to see the chemistry between the parents. They reminded me of the importance of keeping a flame alive in a relationship and how simple and easy it can be.

Fun Family Photos

The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
-- George Santayana

Holiday blues

Had to post this shot from a shoot a couple of weeks ago. Just love his reaction and emotion.

Last night's studio shoot

I had the opportunity to do a quick studio shoot last night. Here are a few photos from it.

So much Fun!

I had the chance to shoot this fun couple this weekend for fun and for stock. I am so excited to share these photos with everyone. The chemistry that this couple has just shines through with every photo that I took. I have said it before, but I love what I do and I am so happy that this couple will have photos of the two of them to cherish for the years to come.

Fall Fun

In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit.---Marge Kennedy

Studio family fun

I had the chance to do a studio family shoot this past week. It was so much fun and the boys were almost too adorable. It is so much fun to do a shoot and just be relaxed and have fun during it and this family was definitely laid back and a lot of fun. Here are a couple of photos from the shoot for you to enjoy.
