Fall Grapes

One of the benefits of living in Utah is that we get to see the seasons change. That is something that we never saw in Hawaii. I have to admit that I love it...(although I would take the ocean over Fall any day). I love the saturation of all the bright colors and find myself still in awe every year this rolls around. I also wanted to capture some pictures of these amazing grapes growing outside our house. Grandma found them last time she visited and they are oh so yummy. There are TONS of them. Thank you grandma!!!

Can you tell which one was the real photo?

Roomies-4-Life

I got to take pictures of my lil sister Gracie and her beautiful hottie roommates. It was so fun and totally the most easy going-cheesy posing shoot I have done. It was a blast. I felt like a serious photographer for "America's Next Top Model." I just used my canon point and shoot and compared to these superstars I felt like I was shooting with a cardboard disposable camera, like the one I bought for my first trip to Hawaii (hahaha, seriously). Although, I need to acknowledge that I LOVE my canon and it has been and will always be the BEST thing anyone has ever given me (thank you mom), I am still so anxious and extremely excited for the day I can get my first SLR and actually call it mine. Anyway, I just loved these girls and their patience, even when Marley erased their whole first shoot. Oops. Yea!!! The quality isn't the best because we forgot about daylight savings and ended up shooting close to dark, but I was going for a funky photoshopped look instead anyway, right?

I'm just loving this girl to death... It's crazy to think that I can remember changing her diapers and watching her chubby toddler body go crazy for anything with sugar. We used to call her "Buttons and Sugar." I remember in Chiloquin when her and Elizabeth would let me dress them up and do "fake" photo shoots. Then I remember Drain and always having her little shorty-shorts friend Joe come to the door and ask to play EVERY SINGLE DAY. She was the only one who was nice to him, even when he was a little off (okay maybe it was more than a "little"). I laugh because that is still her life (She is just so kick back and easy to talk to.) Hmmmm...? I can't wait to meet her best friend that she will get to share eternity with. (no short shorts and no cordorouy). hahaha

It was funny because throughout the whole shoot, they all kept speaking in a British accent. Hahaha. These were Absolutely the Most Lovely-Lovely, Well-Mannered Ladies my Eyes have Ever Beheld!!!

I've got some more to post of these lovely ladies...

Happy Halloween

We had a blast this Halloween. Sitani was obsessed with being Optimus Prime and even though I think it is the most ridiculous unitard costume, I gave up control and let his dreams come true. He was as happy as could be. Marley was so cute and loving her purple sparkly sunglasses in the pitch black night. She was Fancy Nancy. Elijah was the cutest puppy dog and Heinrich was the scariest funny-looking rugby player. We had a blast and I already can't wait for next year. Thank you Jenny and George for the fun party.
