The Costume October 27, 2010

Posted by Emily in : Holidays, Little Man Dallin, Photography, Princess Hannah , 3comments

This is Hannah’s Halloween costume.

I specifically bought her a costume that she would wear everyday.  (That’s how we post medical school people roll.  We’re just so practical now!)

Lucky for Hannah, she gets to wear it FOUR times this week:

I know she will have no problem wearing this all week because she already wears a leotard, tights and wings (one of her sets anyway) everyday.

I’m just hoping Dallin will wear his costume for 30 seconds so I can take of picture of him in it.  (You know, there’s nothing better than photographing something that never really happened.)   :)

In One Month . . . October 27, 2010

In one month, David has gone from looking like a clean shaven poster boy:

(Photo taken Sept 2010)

To rugged, handsome man  . . . (pic taken two weeks ago)

TO “OLD SPICE” MAN!

(For the record, I wasn’t the one who though of that!)

Which look is best?

Winter Running Gear October 25, 2010

It turns out . . .

That this is a good look for David.  :)

After David didn’t shave for a few days, I encouraged him to grow out a beard for fun, you know?  He’s never grown one and seriously, why not?

I also like the way his hair curls when it’s a bit longer, so his hair is getting longer too.  I have a real mountain man on my hands!  (Which, you know, is totally fitting since we actually LIVE at the base of the mountains.)

Lots of people have asked us why he is growing out a beard and because we are quite literal people, we always tell them, “Because he can.”

Plus, a beard is excellent for winter running.

It also turns out that I’m not the only one who thinks he looks dapper this way . . .

He was asked to model as an extra in a Christmas commercial for the LDS Church which was filmed last week.

The commercial was shot in downtown SLC and will air at the end of November through December.  I’ll post a video when it becomes available!

STILL GOT IT! October 22, 2010

Posted by Emily in : Parenthood, Photography , 5comments

David and I walk the kids down to a park near our house everyday.  I think we we love it just as much as they do.  ;)

This is me sporting my inner Sportacus.

This is the real Sportacus (Magnus Scheving) who is obviously a lot more flexible and powerful than I am.

This is David demonstrating a back flip to the kids. (Where are the kids you ask?  I don’t know, maybe on the swings?)

Check out Dallin holding on to the pole as he watches his 35 year old dad.

We’re still kids!  Can’t wait to buy our own place so we can put in a ground level tramp.

Halloween Ideas October 21, 2010

I’m thinking of throwing a Halloween party for Hannah and a few of her four year old friends.

Any ideas?

Fall Foliage October 20, 2010

Posted by Emily in : Photography, Utah , 1 comment so far

Did I mention how much I hate the weather in Utah?

Well, I don’t . . .  not always anyway.

October has been the MOST beautiful month.  Every day has been in the 70′s which is perfect park weather.

The leaves are past their peak in the mountains, but they are just reaching their peak in the valley.  I was scouting out a new location with some fall foliage for a few upcoming shoots and I found this spot just a few minutes away from home:

Utah is beautiful and I will stop complaining about how it’s cold eight months out of the year.  Instead, I will complain about the cold weather during the seven months it’s cold.  ;)

A Lot Stinky and a Lot Cute October 15, 2010

Posted by Emily in : My Former Dog Children, Parenthood, Photography, Princess Hannah , 2comments

Today as I was editing images, I was enjoying the quietness of the house with both kids down for naps.

Literally, I was sitting in front of my computer, minding my own business, when suddenly . . .

GAH!

Paris (my stinker-dog who earned her name) let out several silent-but-deadly farts.  I’m not just talking one SBD here folks, I’m talking CONTINUOUS.

She can clear a room I tell you!

Since I was editing images from a product shoot last night (can’t wait to share the pics with you after the product is launched!)  I pulled up a picture I took of Paris last night (after the product shoot) and put a caption on the image and emailed it to David who was in the other room.  (We chat online and email from room to room like it’s totally normal.)

I wanted him to know EXACTLY how the downstairs family room smelled:

I looked over at Paris, who was resting on her pillow in bliss and said, “Must you ruin my quiet solitude with your insane farts?!”

EWE.

Let’s move on to something cute now . . .

Hannah is always such a big helper during my shoots.  She will run any errand, sit where I tell her to, and chat to anyone who will listen.  After finishing a product shoot last night, Hannah really, really, REALLY wanted to photograph something.  I told her to hurry and find what she wanted to photograph because she was waaay past bedtime.  She came back with a few select toys and photographed this:

This last image was completely styled and photographed by Hannah.  She even used my remote trigger to ensure no movement on the tripod!

I’m raising the next Ansel Adams.  I’m sure.  :)
