Halloween 2012

Every year I am really late on this, but I can never go without posting some Halloween pics of my kids.  It is my favorite time of year and I always love having fun with their costumes, as long as they'll let me :)

Max loves the Disney movie Robin Hood (I also think it is one of the cutest and most charming of Disney movies).  Sometime last year he decided that is who he wanted to be.  I thought by the time this Halloween rolled around he would change his mind, but he stayed true to his vision.  Lucky for me, my friend already had most of the pieces from another costume she had made.  We just had to whip up a hat, bow, some arrows and a quiver and voila!  What a stud :)

 

I usually see at least two other Dorothy's every year.  Not the most unique of costumes, but I still love them every time.  I think it is a classic and so cute.  So I have always wanted to do it and when my husbands bro sent the perfect hand-me-down Dorothy dress, I was over the moon.  Lucky for us it was a perfect fit.  Throw in some ruby slippers and some french braids (which I FINALLY learned thanks to this costume :) and again, voila.  And Dorothy can't go down the yellow brick road to the Emerald City without her best pal of course.

There's no place like home :)...

Variah

Remember the beautiful couple below?  This is their sweet little daughter.  I really love capturing the newness of babies, especially when it's a dear friend or family member.  I feel like I form this special little bond with them and it makes me love that baby all the more.

Courtney & Daniel-Maternity

To share the awesome memories I have with Courtney would take days on end.  She was my first roommate in college and then two times after that.  She honestly made much of my college experience what it was...amazing.  She is beautiful inside and out.  It was so fun having her be my first maternity shoot and I love now seeing her as a mom.  Courtney loves to read so when she mentioned the SLC library, I was excited to bring that part of her into this cause I know she wants to pass that love down to her baby girl.  Cute little Variah, who made this all possible, is actually coming up next!

So this is a picture of Daniel pointing at his mom's pregnant belly and we had to make sure to recreate it  :)

(I know, I know, I took a million pictures...I couldn't help it!)

Henry

This was one of my favorite newborn sessions.  Mostly because Henry is my cute nephew.  But also because my sister-in-law and I are usually on the same page stylistically, so I knew I could pull out some things that may not be appreciated by everyone and that she would have her own ideas to bring to the table.  Little Henry, welcome to the family :)

Jack-1 year

My nephew Jack...such a ball of energy and the cutest little toe head I know.  I love you buddy!
