The A Family!

I had sooo much fun tonight with the A family! I loved taking pictures with their little girl! She was so fun. I will post more pictures as I edit them, so stay tuned! She was such a ham for the camera. She would be mad for a minute and then she'd turn and smile right at me...Thanks guys for letting me take such fun pictures!!!

I just loved the way she was snuggled into her daddy!


We were trying to get her to cooperate for a family shot so we tried peek-a-boo. This was her interpretation...

Photo Challenge

FOOD! We went to the annual Strawberry Days celebration in Pleasant Grove this year. The kids rode the rides and of course, I wouldn't be proper if we left without enjoying the strawberries and cream! So, here is my submission for the FOOD Challenge:

Weddings

Now, I know I don't 'do' weddings. But, I've had the opportunity to attend 2 weddings this month -- both COMPLETELY gorgeous! The first was my cousin Sarah on the 12th of June, and the 2nd was my friend Shelly on the 21st. So, just for fun I took my camera along to practice and get some fun family shots. I just thought I'd share them with you here.
This was Sarahs:






This was Shelly's Wedding:

Photo Challenge (5)

Our challenge this week was to shoot 5 ~ five of anything, everything but something. The number/word 5 is acceptable too.
So, here is my submission. This is my kids sprinkler -- there's a big row of these but I cropped it out so there were only 5 showing. This was a rough challenge, I looked all week.

Photo Challenge

I have joined a new group that does one challenge a week. This week was 'framing' something within the picture. I chose this one of my friends little boy.

More of my Kids!!

Are you sick of seeing them yet? I take their pictures all the time when I want to try out new locations and this was no exception. This place was perfection! After getting busted for trespassing, I thought the pictures I got were totally worth it! Here's a few of my favs. If you're sick of seeing my kids, call me or email me celestegrover'at'gmail'dot'com. (sorry, I spell it out that way so I don't get spammed).
