Just doing some experiments...

...with more editing!  With my cute little subject that now does a corny "CHEESE!" grin when I ask him to smile and frequently knows that he does something cute/funny and says "Mom take my picture!"  I love this little man!

Tyler & Jessie

I had a wonderful opportunity to photograph my cousin Tyler and his beautiful bride Jessie's wedding! Let me just say I loved photographing at the LA temple!  It's obvious that Tyler and Jessie have so much natural chemistry together and they were so playful and fun, I literally took like 500 pictures of them.  I know I always say this (but it's the truth) but I had SUCH a hard time picking the pictures to showcase on my blog because there are so many good ones.  Thanks for letting me share in your special day!

Yellowstone Day 3

Our our drive home from Yellowstone we stopped at the awesome Yellowstone Bear World park!  We LOVED driving up close with the bears and seeing the baby bear cubs play.  Next time I am driving through I am going to pay the extra money and feed a baby bear a bottle.  I just wanted to hug those baby bears! We had a great trip to Yellowstone and saw so much wonderful nature and wildlife.

Yellowstone Day 2

On day 1 of the Yellowstone trip, I just brought my camera and my fixed 50 lens because I didn't want to lug around the heavy lens all day.  On day 2, I just brought the 24-70mm lens because the landscape was worth the weight.  As we were driving around Yellowstone, if we saw something cool we just pulled over and got out and took pictures.  At one point we even saw an osprey fly from it's nest with supposed babies inside it (according to the man with binoculars).  The cool misty rain made for excellent weather and picture-taking.

Yellowstone Day 1

I have had a lot of amazing opportunities this summer to travel.  One of the perks of having the summer off!  Karl's cousin just got married and we decided to take a little couples trip over a weekend.  We got a condo up at Yellowstone and spent the weekend playing games, eating, hot-tubbing, and touring Yellowstone National Park!  I brought my camera and took a ton of pictures in the beautiful and picturesque landscape in Yellowstone.  Here are some photos from Day 1.
