New Class, New Art (Hopefully...)

Just imagine yourself driving around a corner, downtown Salt Lake, and suddenly having your photograph taken by 25 amateur photographers standing in a line down the curb. This gray car actually drove around the block twice, it wanted the spotlight. I'm taking a new photography class this semester and I think I'm really going to enjoy it. Last night we played with shutter speed, hence the blurry backgrounds. Poor horse didn't have a chance. It was moving slow enough that everyone got it's picture, there was nowhere to hide. At least we weren't using our flashes.These shots were fun because the exposure was long enough that you couldn't see the car itself, just it's lights.
Talk about ghost lights. The best I could do for a tripod was to set my camera on the decorative posts guarding the sidewalk corners.

Birthday Time Again


Happy birthday to my big girl. I can't believe that it was six years ago that we walked into the unknown life of parent hood. She has been a lot of fun more than a handful. Morgan is so much like me (so I've heard) that we can clash like the titans but I love her so much!

Christmas Joy


Can you see the excitement in her face?



Can we just say that homemade gifts are AWESOME!

Sassy Do




Faith got her hair cut today and she looked so cute that we had to do a little camera play. It was fun and she did eventually warm up to the lens. Good times!
