The time has come though for me to move from Blogger to my own domain. I need the control that a blog on my own domain/server will afford me along with the additional tools that Wordpress offers, especially in the area of Search Engine Optimization(SEO). <br />

<br />
<br />
I'm the mommy to 4 beautiful children. I love them dearly but sometimes they drive me bonkers.<br />
While contemplating what to photograph this morning I noticed these markers left out. AGAIN. We have this white board that sits on a table in our living room. It got put there once to that I could use its magnetic properties do display photographs when I had the studio set up there and it just kinda stayed. The photographs got moved and then the kids discovered some dry erase markers and it was all over with. It gets erased, and changed nearly daily. They loving having it around, and I love seeing their drawings. Lily however switches up the lids on the rare occasions that she puts the lids back on. Drives me nuts. Do you know what gets dry erase marker out of clothing, and table cloths.?.. Nothing. (So if you know the magic answer please enlighten me!)<br />

I KNEW that for this one I had to feature my little fashionista. Somedays I'm not sure whose child this is... I'm such a jeans and a t-shirt kinda gal and she wore a bolero jacket, fancy scarf, skinny jeans and boots to school today. Gotta love this girl. :) <br />
<br />

<br />
Now what she would really like to do is wear a prom dress to school every day.. not gonna happen. This girl seriously loves her sparkles. <br />
<br />
But it does make today the perfect day to announce my upcoming "Rock the Dress" sessions. <br />
On two Saturdays this spring, just before the Elko High School Prom, and just before the Spring Creek High School Prom I'm going to hold mini sessions for girls to have a rock star day. We'll have the studio set up and plenty of room for snacks and hanging out. Lots of mirrors and access to outlets for your last minute touch ups. Make a fun day of it with your friends!<br />

<br />
Next month Kevin and I will celebrate our 12th Anniversary. Can it really have been that long since our wedding?<br />
<br />
I was SO sick in this picture. Our photographer was fantastic I would cough cough cough and then quickly smile and he would snap. In all our photos he only caught me coughing once, with film. He was a brave, brave soul.<br />

I haven't even taken many photographs and I have totally gotten out of the blogging habit. I fully intend to get back to it. Starting NOW.<br />
<br />
Last year I did a series titled <a href="http://wingsofblue.blogspot.com/search/label/28%20things">"28 things I Love"</a> It was really fun. I wanted to do something similar again this year. Kelly Willete is running a series called The Joy of Love. Each day comes with a prompt and a short lesson. I think between the two ideas I might actually get all the days done. Click <a href="http://www.willettedesigns.com/?page_id=2780">Here</a> to find out more and sign up for the quick lessons yourself! <br />
<br />
Day 1 and I am LOVING it! I think I shot more frames today than I did in the whole month of January!<br />
<br />
Today prompt was DOING. To capture the people/person you love doing what they do. <br />
<br />
I caught my delightful George putting together his 100 days project for school tomorrow. <br />
<br />
<br />

This boy LOVES his math so this project was right up his alley. He was concentrating so hard on getting the 10 smarties just where he wanted them. He looks like he hates this, but really he was having a ball. <br />
<br />
I can't wait to get started on tomorrow's prompt.<br />
<br />
If you want to join in leave a comment and I'll come over and say hi, you can post the pictures on your blog, Flickr page, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/wingsofbluephoto">Facebook</a>, wherever. :) <br />

<br />
Oh the weather outside is frightful....<br />
<br />
I adore using nature's beauty as a backdrop, but with it getting dark in Elko by 4:30 in the afternoon that gets tricky. Anthony and Sami needed a picture for their Christmas cards, the weather was bad and work schedules made it impossible to get out before the sun went down. Solution? Studio session of course. :) The great thing about studio sessions is that it really lets me focus in on people, their connections and emotions even more.<br />

This little, well, not so little guy was SO sweet! He slept good, and even when not sleeping barely cried. He and I played and snuggled and his mom caught a short (and I'm sure much needed!) nap on my couch. Even if he hadn't been such a dream, newborns are always worth the effort. <br />
<br />
I get asked occasionally about baby photos and keeping baby content during them. First thing I do is I crank that heat up! I keep the studio space pretty warm during the session so that baby is totally comfortable. Second, we take our time. Newborn sessions definitely involve way more time spent soothing, nursing, and rocking than actually spent taking photos. Third, while a later session is not unheard of, I prefer to photograph in the first week or so of life, up to about 10 days. This is when babies are still sleepy, and like to be curled up. They change so much even just in those first few weeks, this ensures that we capture the "newness". This little guy was born in Boise and then came home to Elko so he was a week old before I got my hands on him. He still slept like a charm though. <br />

In one of my initial emails with him he filled out a questionnaire for me so that I could get to know him better. In his answers he said that one of the things he wanted to remember about this year was Homecoming Cheerleading. I was trying to figure out how to incorporate a cheerleading uniform and an appropriate location into the shoot we already had planned and the time frame we had. I laughed so hard when I figured out he was talking about powder puff cheerleading... I had totally forgotten about that. I've been out of high school longer than I thought I guess. <br />

Christopher was a total trooper and followed me all around downtown Elko. There are some great spots for photos in this little town but they are certainly not all right around the corner from each other! We also spent some time at St. Joesph's Catholic Church to get some more personal shots as religion is very important to Christopher.<br />

I am SO excited to show you Lacy's Senior portraits today! Lacy is an amazing young lady full of life and personality, and gorgeous to boot. We had so much fun shooting in the beautiful light in Lamoille. Seriously, the light was amazing. <br />
<br />
When Lacy contacted me about her portraits she indicated she was hoping for portraits that were laid back and showed off how happy she is this year. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I just don't think it gets any sweeter than this little girl. Typically I like to photograph Newborns within the first 10 days of life. This is when they are still all curled up, very sleepy and very pose-able. That wasn't possible with Melanie, but I think I might like this better. :) At 3 1/2 weeks she was really starting to show some personality! She stayed awake for much of the session, but we did get her to sleep a bit at the end. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Summer has been a whirlwind!! I can not believe that August is almost here! I have traveled from Elko, to New York City and back again. I thought things would slow down when I got home but they haven't. It is wonderful. :) It does make me nostalgic for the lazy days of summer of my childhood. Wait, they weren't lazy, we were up for 7am swim practice every day, then home for chores and who knows what else. Thanks mom for putting up with all that! :) </span></div></span></span><br />

NYC for a family wedding and then wander our way back across the country visiting family and friends. It will be several weeks before I am back, and I am computer-less on the road (all 3000+ miles of it EEK!) I wanted to give these two understanding families a quick peek before I head out since they have to wait until I am back for their full galleries. <br />
<br />
I had so much fun with this little princess and her family! <br />

I am SO honored and blessed to have been a part of John and Lee's Wedding Celebration. We started the day with all the girls getting all dolled up, then over to the First Baptist Church for their ceremony. Both Lee and John have been married before and told me several times that this time around they really wanted to do it "right." I think they fully and completely accomplished that. The ceremony was short, but oh so sweet. You could really feel the love between them as they spoke their vows. They are truly dedicated to one another no mater what the future may hold.<br />

I LOVE babies and bellies! There is something so miraculous about pregnancy. This is actually one of my photographic regrets, that I do not have a beautiful reminder of that time in my life. I am glad to be able to provide this memento for Amanda and her growing family. </div><br />
Amanda, you are beautiful! Enjoy this sneak peak. <br />

<div style="text-align: left;">I've been following <a href="http://www.zarias.com/">Zack Arias</a> for awhile, but he really made an impression at <a href="http://www.photocamputah.com/">Photocamp Utah</a>. One of the things he has been posting on his blog lately are <a href="http://www.zarias.com/goya-shootout-mirrors/">GOYA</a> shoots. Get Off Your Arse shoots. They are Great! It is amazing what he and the people around him come up with in those short time frames. I don't have a studio of assistants to shoot with but I have been trying to do this more. The previous spring weather post is from one of those days. :) Today's pictures are from another day. I recently applied to be a part of an international not-for-profit organization (more on that soon). One of the requirements for the application was to submit 3 samples of portrait work in each of 6 different lighting situations. Some were easy to pick and some well... not so much. One section I really struggled with was outdoor light with fill flash. It s just not something I shoot a lot with. I had few samples to pick from and most were from the same shoot and I wanted to submit more variety. I stressed, I fretted and then one day I decided I just had to GOYA. I had 45 minutes while kids were at various practices, the clouds were cool and so I just went. I grabbed the daughters of a good friend and headed out into the sagebrush. (We do have an abundance of that to photograph in Elko.) They were awesome models. It was FREEZING (snowed later that night) but SO much fun. No pressure to deliver, no expectations, just shooting for the joy of it. Completely solidified the fact I need to do this more often.

The stormy weather lately has also brought in some AMAZING clouds lately, puffy white clouds and sapphire blue skies. I love Nevada's wide open spaces. There is something magical about being able to see a storm moving across the valley. Clouds coming and going over the course of a few hours. I could sit and watch for hours.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05482324340900685423noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3738592281977871824.post-63852292555111959592010-05-12T09:58:00.000-07:002010-05-12T09:58:21.151-07:00My Own FamilyI have bunches of pictures of my kids, lets face it they are easily accessible, if not always willing subjects. Once a year or so we drag out the tripod and set up a family picture. While I love having that record of my family's growth it is just not the same. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">What is a girl to do? </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Procrastinate that is what! </div><br />
Kevin has been after me to get someone to take our pictures for quite some time. Needless to say I was THRILLED when I found out I had won a prize in a contest my friend Tara was running. I really wanted to take her up on the mentoring, but I knew that the family pictures would benefit the whole family not just me.<br />
<br />
Tara has posted our pictures over on her <a href="http://winsorphotography.com/blog/?p=200">blog</a>... you should go check them out. If you are in northern Utah and need pictures, she is your gal. <br />

I love old buildings like this. I felt like playing a bit today so I dug in my old pictures and found this from a trip we took to Illinois in 2007 for a family wedding. The wedding actually took place inside this church. However I had had my new camera for aproximatly 5 day days and well... let's just say I had not yet mastered exposure. :) <br />

He had a session in the fall and then we have been waiting for spring to arrive to get some pictures with bright colors. This spring has been C.R.A.Z.Y. We actually shot this session in a dust storm kicked up before a snowfall. Richard was such a trooper though. He didn't complain at all, even when I made him stand still and wait and wait for a lull in the wind so I could catch his collar down. Thanks Richard!<br />

Though I'm not quite sure why she didn't just throw the whole lot of us under the bus because there were some real stinkers in that class. I wasn't a big trouble maker but boy howdy did I have my days. And really, who wants to deal with a bunch of moody 11-year-olds anyways? Thankfully there are teachers as great as her in the world. <br />
<br />
I was THRILLED when she contacted me about taking Senior pictures for her daughter Kallie. I mean really who does not want to take pictures of a pretty, smart, funny and just all around great girl? When I say smart, I mean s.m.a.r.t. Kallie is a the top of her class and may even be valedictorian if all those college classes she is already taking fall into line. <br />
<br />
Wow! She made my job SO easy. <br />

I had this senior session scheduled for Tuesday and on Monday we got 4 inches of snow. It was GREAT! Hannah was up for anything and the sky was mostly overcast making all the snow a beautiful reflector, but no shine.<br />
<br />
<br />
I LOVE this one, the sun peaked out for just an few minutes and I got sunflare and the snow falling( off the trees)<br />

I cannot decide between these two, the drama of the black and white, or the playful color?? <br />

Some photographers think that this is to messy, I say bring it on! Oh yes, it got messy, but the pictures were well worth it. So many, pictures, so many adorable faces, I'm still working on getting them all edited, but couldn't wait any longer to get at least a sneak peek up. <br />
<br />
<br />
First, her adorable 1st birthday dress, this was too cute to mess up though. <br />
