Christmas Day 2010

Ok. Don’t judge. I do, in fact, realize Christmas was a month ago. Better late than never, right? :)

I’m super excited about these pics because I was trying out my new addition I had gotten only a few days prior – a 105mm f/2.8 macro lens! It sure is a beauty. This baby is sharp and fast and makes me oh so very happy. Since it’s a longer lens, certain members of my family got special treatment and I was able to take their picture more. Anyone sitting close to me was too close and I was too lazy to move as we were opening presents.

That first image is my nephew: Mr. Grumpy Grumperson. He missed out on all the gift giving and took a nap. By the look on his face here, I’m glad he did! ;)

My brother gets excited about body wash!

I learned my lesson. Don’t stop taking pictures, even if you think you got the shot. 2 seconds after I took this picture, he threw down the watch across the floor and said furiously “That’s a girl watch!”. He then proceeded to stomp off for a little temper tantrum. It made us all laugh :)

He was so stoked about his new Star Wars Lego t-shirt!

I am such a cool aunt – personalized photos & love notes written on the back :)

Have I mentioned that my nephews were tired & grumpy?

Trying out the ‘macro’ part of my lens and loving it :)

the Simpson Family

Time to share my annual family session with the Simpson family!

Natalie is one of my dear friends and I love that she trusts me to photograph her family every year. It’s especially fun to look at the progression of her boys and see how grown up and well-behaved they are now during our sessions. They are silly, goofy, and so much fun to talk to!

And this year, we have a new addition: Frankie the dog :)

the Petty Family

I am very excited about this session!

Some very good friends, the Petty family, had me take their pictures up at Alta ski resort in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Of course the day everyone could get together was cloudy & slightly windy. I had to change my camera settings every few seconds because the light was constantly changing. But, despite the finicky weather, they are a beautiful, fun, awesome group!

I love that first shot where I am getting my settings all ready before I situated the group. Everyone is doing their own thing and there is so much personality expressed!

the Siddiqui Family

It had been three years since I had seen this adorable family.

They greeted me as if I was family.

Zydaan and Zymaan are growing up into handsome boys, each with their individuality shining through. Zydaan is thoughtful & smart. Zymaan loves to be tickled & laugh.

And, I have to add that these women are gorgeous. With their radiant smiles & colorful saris, they look absolutely stunning.

I took these photographs in their backyard. Seriously beautiful scenery. The sun kept peeking in & out of the clouds during the session. About 30 seconds after we finished all the group combos, it started pouring rain. Talk about good timing!

the Huffman Family

I was so excited when Cyndee asked me to take her family picture while they were in town from Arizona.
2 years had passed since I’d seen them last and I knew they would be fun to shoot. I can’t believe how much they’ve grown!

These kids had loads of energy, spunk, and kept me on my toes with their twirling, collecting snails, running in every direction on the playground, and making silly faces. We couldn’t have had more fun at Liberty Park!

PS Sorry there are so many pics….we did so many fun things that morning, it was super hard to narrow them down…. :)

the Young Family

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph the Young family.

These guys are actually my cousins! I haven’t seen most of them in YEARS so it was so great to see all of them & their families, as they have now grown exponentially with all their children :)

This crew had a week-long family reunion up Little Cottonwood Canyon, at Snowbird Ski Resort so I was lucky enough to take the scenic drive up the canyon to meet them on a beautiful summer evening. What a fun, amazing family (and I’m not just saying that because they’re my cousins ;) )

the Wood Family

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph the Wood Family. They were celebrating 40 years of marriage and retirement. What a joyous occasion!

The little ones were troopers as it was quite a hot day and it was right before dinnertime, so a few of them were not too happy to be in the pictures. Despite a few tears during group shots, we got some great candids of each child. Don’t they all have incredible eyes?

the de la Garza Family et al.

three winks studio,salt lake photographer,family photography,children photography,memory grove

I was thrilled when Amy called me to photograph her family. It had been a few years since I had photographed them and her boys were growing up fast. I hadn’t even met their newest, Sam, before.

Collin and William are now 4 and just as spunky and cute as ever. They helped me find great spots to take their picture. We found a ‘secret trail’ where they let me photograph them without the whole crew ;)

Amy’s family was also in town so we had a good sized group. What a fun bunch! It’s always fun to reconnect with old friends.

P.S. I’m curious. Do you like large vertical images? Or 2 vertical images side-by-side?
