Snow Day!

It's not a real snow day, because there wasn't any school to cancel (and even if there had been

 school I doubt it would have even been late).
But there is pretty snow everywhere in Provo.
I spent an hour wandering about my neighborhood taking pictures of the weather, and here are

 some of my favorites:

365: January 11

Sophie, Maude, and Casey

To say that I was privileged to get to work with these girls wouldn't be completely true.
To say that I coerced them into letting me take their pictures by harassing and texting them
incessantly would be more accurate.

I have pretty friends. I like to take their photographs.




I loved that because I know these girls and how spunky and fun they are I could take funkier
pictures. I could experiment and play and not worry about disappointing anyone.
Have you ever seen such pretty sisters?

Temple Square

Travis and I spent Tuesday evening admiring the beautiful Christmas lights at the Salt Lake Temple. Soon we will have a tri-pod and all our pictures will be prettier. But here are some tri-podless favorites.
Travis took the first two pictures and I took the rest.

Brandon, Emma and Jaymz

I took some family photos on Saturday of the Peay family. They have an 18 month son who was
very photogenic but not very interested in sitting still for the camera.






We actually took all the pictures inside the Provo library or outside on the steps.
They had a big Christmas tree set up and outside was fresh, pretty snow.
It was lovely, and luckily the family was a lot of fun too! Brandon, Emma and I
spent most of the time making silly faces and noises and trying to get Jaymz to laugh.
All in all, we played most of the time, and it felt more like a game than a photo shoot.

Tate's first day snowboarding

Travis took his little brother snowboarding on Saturday, and Tate did wonderfully!
By his fourth run down the mountain he could almost go without falling.

We're hoping to get a Canon 7d for Travis's senior project soon, and then our videos
will be nicer quality, this was just done on a little point-and-shoot. But despite the
quality of the video, the film making can't be beat!

Ria, Jake, Skyler, and Zac

I took pictures of this beautiful family on Saturday and it was perfect! There was a fresh blanket of snow and everything looked perfect. The only trouble was, with all the new snow it was hard to keep Skyler and Zac focused on pictures.
That was fine with me, I ended up photographing a snowball fight!
