Siblings {Utah Child Photographer}

  I seriously was ready to take these 4 kids home with me by the end of their session. They were too adorable. Now before you think they are perfect check out the next picture. See they are truly siblings. I sure do love a great candid shot that captures how we really are.

Ahh, Miss M was so motherly to her little brother.

 His eyes are amazing!

Preteens! {Utah child photographer}

  It has been a busy month with lots of Back to School photo session. I was so excited to be able to photograph these two sisters again this year. They are so fun and spunky that it is always a blast to work with the.  Enjoy a few of my favorites.

Close To My Heart is now on the craft channel.  Check out this great video demonstrating how flexible our acrylix stamp sets are! Clearly the best!

The Superhero vs the Villain aka the photographer

  Oh how I love returning clients. I had the opportunity to photograph these 3 amazing kids last year and I was so excited when their Mom called to schedule this year's back to school pictures. We had a great time and it was fun to see how much they have grown. 

  This little lady had me laughing so hard. Last year I had to really work for every shot. She had absolutely no interest in having her picture taken. This year she couldn't wait for her turn. She was such a doll.

Can I just say heart throb! We were getting along great until he declared that I would be one of the villains if I was in a superhero movie. WHAT! A VILLAIN!

We even had a little fun. I love the sun on her while she is twirling.

My jumping rock star!

Card and September Stamp of the Month

  This card is the one I made for my card swap group this month. I was so excited to try out the new Close To My Heart alcohol markers and they did not disappoint! They were fun and easy to use and I love that the markers come in a two pack. You get the CTMH color and then a lighter or darker complementary color marker as well. To stamp the outline I used the new mini black pigment stamp pad that comes in basics set. I also tried the Archival Blank stamp pad. I found that the pigment ink didn't bleed at all while the archival did bleed a little. 

  The scarecrow stamp comes from the September stamp of the month: Fall Favorites. The card was inspired by the talented Brenda Rose. She creates such beautiful artwork. If you would like to get your hands on this adorable stamp set that is only available for the month of September, head on over to my website. You can also order the markers and pigment stamp pad as well.
