We loved watching Blake play against these huge guys.  "No Fear" describes this boy perfectly!

Corner Canyon played Alta tonight and it was a match up.

Well they loved playing their brothers, friends, and neighbors. 

Brynn and I were heading up the raffle table during the JV game.  A little sunny but fun!

 Zack's great friend, Jayden transferred to Alta at the semester so he was sporting the red and black.  His brother Jaxson, Max's great friend, plays for CCHS.  These four brothers are so cute!

 And another picture with their faithful fan.

 After the game I took the littles and their friends for a treat.  They had so much fun with this cute worker.  She had us laughing the entire time.

I was very excited and very nervous to take Brooklyn's baptism pictures today.

(I'm still very insecure with my photography skills and tried to apply everything that I have learned in the last year).  I have the right camera, lenses, and gear so it's now all up to me).

After gymnastics we ran home, curled hair, dressed up and headed to the temple.  

Between the yawns and giggles, we had the funnest time!

I love this girl and can't believe she is getting baptized!

Again picture overload because I can't pick a favorite.

 I am excited and stressed that I started my second online photography course.  

104 Intro to Natural Light

So.....the next four weeks will be a lot of me practicing again.

This week I need to shoot in the same spot same subject at different times of the day and in different types of weather.  I'm learning about how much natural light changes.  

Even during this little session, the sun peaked through the clouds and changed the shadows on her face dramatically.  

My goal for this week is to capture catchlights in the eyes, soft shadows from a 45° angle, and make sure I am spot on with exposure and white balance.

HERE I GO AGAIN!

Oh my goodness.  After a week of taking a break and the boys traveling, Monday morning was waiting for me! I also spent a lot of time catching up on the computer.  Gotta love catch up days.

Today was a beautiful day.  I actually talked everyone into going on a walk around our neighborhood.  

 I had to have an image of our new Nike shoes that Jim bought everyone at the Nike Employee store in Portland.  The boys' coach is a Nike employee and so we really scored!!! 

This was the funnest picture.  We were all laughing so hard, thinking this was the coolest thing ever!

I guess I only took one photo today.

I flew to Las Vegas in the morning, grabbed a quick breakfast with Kass and Mom, then drove mom home in her car.  She has been living in Arizona for 4 months with Joy.  

It was a nice day.  We also stopped in St. George and enjoyed a frozen yogurt with Jill Olsen. Our last stop was in Beaver for some fresh cheese curds.

So funny...We actually passed Zack right outside of St. George, he was heading home also.

Happy Eighth Birthday Brooklyn!

Breakfast in bed, a fun day at the Zoo, gymnastics, and a little family birthday party.  

We finished her cake so late that we waited until Saturday to eat it.

I love you Brooklyn and am so happy you are a part of our family.

You were so excited for you new scriptures and can't wait to be baptized.
