Snowshoeing

For his birthday, I got my hubby a pair of snowshoes! We took them on a trial run that day and with fresh powder on the ground--it was perfect! We went up Big Cottonwood Canyon (avoiding all the avalanche areas!) towards Dog Lake. The weather was perfect! The sun was out and it had snowed for a few days before. We didn't get all the way to the lake before it clouded over and started getting a little colder, but there were beautiful views along the way!

Little Baby E

On a recent (or maybe not so recent!) trip to Virginia, I got the chance to snap a few photos of my very cute little niece! She's such a sweet baby and has already grown so much!

Spiral Jetty, Salt Lake, UT

On New Year's Eve we said goodbye to 2011 while watching the sun set over the Spiral Jetty. Although it was mostly underwater (it comes and goes with the tide level)--it was still a beautiful place!

This is not snow--it's salt foam!

Goodbye 2011!

Little Cottonwood Canyon 10-8-11

I finally pulled out my camera this season to capture the beauty of the Fall and Winter combined! We just started Fall a couple of weeks ago, and then it decided to snow! It didn't snow here in the valley--but the mountains look great all dressed in white! We were able to go for a hike up Little Cottonwood Canyon this last weekend and enjoyed the crisp air and beautiful fall leaves mixed with the white of snow! This first one was taken on our drive up past Alta ski resort--the snow was much thicker there!

The rest are from our hike in Little Cottonwood Canyon--or also known as the site where the granite was excavated (is that the right word?) for the Salt Lake Temple. I can't imagine being there then and seeing the towering granite mountains (especially in the cold winter!!)

I love the contrast between the pretty fall colors and the white snow--it looks so peaceful laying there.

Family Photos-July 2011

I had the opportunity to photograph a great family at the beginning of July! The kids were warm and tired, but they still pulled out their smiles!

Baby L - B&W

Here are a few more photos of Baby L!

Beautiful Baby L

I've had quite the weekend! 2 photo shoots, one more to go this week and a few more to post! I just wanted to post a few of Saturday's photo shoot with Baby L and her cute parents! Once she got comfortable, she was so peaceful! I loved the cute outfits!

I'll post more later when I get some in b&w as well!
