Sometimes the sequence of photos is what makes a photo interesting. Here is my dare devil niece diving sledding down a small but very steep slope of snow. She wasn't hurt at least not enough to stop her from trying the hill again and again.
It is difficult to see, but the distance she had air time is easily 6 feet. 
A while back we took the kids out to Antelope Island for a few pictures. A few favorites that I feel like show their wonderful little personalities.
Recently I had the immense pleasure to shoot the Scott Smith family. Scott had a location all picked out, all I had to do was show up with my camera and shoot everyone. Ohh and we hauled their couch into the great outdoors!
I love this old truck, it has so much character. This was a fun family shoot, a few stock photos will be coming from this...
This weekend I spent some time hanging out with a few friends whom share the same enthusiasm that I have for photography. The time spent with friends motivated me to make an effort at blogging again (and motivation to do other things).
It is no secret that I am a big proponent of using flash to augment or even over power natural light. In this case I wanted to show a side by side example of using flash vs no flash to augment a photo, in this case to add to the feel and enhance a theme I was shooting for.
I recently had the opportunity to capture family photos for the Cook family. It is always a pleasure to be able to do something friends. Airen the oldest daughter has modeled for me before. Really great people.
The day we picked to do the photos was extremely windy. We were up on the bench above Bountiful. Wind or no, the Cooks are an extremely busy family. The boys arrived just off of football practice. So we made due...
The whole family:
Weather is warming up the sun is staying up till later in the evening. That means more time outside playing in the yard!
I am loving the sun, and the warmness. Great time to take the camera out and shoot!
Last weekend we all went down to Mt. Pleasant for a visit to Grandma and Grandpa (My mom and dad). My brother in law had happened to get a new dirt bike so we headed out to the old gravel pit South of town. Beside there being a bunch of trails there was a lot of old equipment lying around.
Wouldn't you know the only child not looking at the camera is my own (he has sure learned to ignore his father when he has a camera).
Here is Clayton with Grandpa! Clayton used to be scared of the noise from the machines, but he has but not anymore!
Jordan getting geared up!
Will Brody take after his dad?
A couple of the bro. in law tearing up the trails!
Some old friends and neighboors asked that I take photos of their 4 boys. Here are a few photos of the boys together. 
One of the things I love is to catch those candids...
Mostly all pics today
I had fun taking pictures for my cousin Cyndi and her awesome good looking family (what can I say, it runs in our genes).
I wanted to share one of the last photos first, the kids were getting restless by this time, but I wanted to capture the awesome sunset that was coming.
Cyndi and Nick's kids are a hoot (and a bit of a handful at times). The energy of youth. Here they are flexing their muscle (so cute, it makes me smile).
Another of the entire family...
The oldest...
Middle...
Youngest and a girl (can you say cute and getting spoiled)!
Just the girls.
Just the boys.
I am starting to wonder if I am going overboard with the Lightroom adjustments. To much of a good thing, do I need to tone it down on the toned images?
My sister needed new portraits as the latest photos of her youngest are from when he was only a few months old.
My nephew is a little sober dude. It is rare to get him to crack a smile.
He loves to fight with his little sister, and is pretty good at getting her into trouble. He takes after a certain uncle that was a quite little mischief maker.
We did manage to sneak a few smiles out of the little guy
Just a few photos from around Grandma and Grandpa's house. There is so much fun stuff to do outside.
