New Portraits

Photobucket

Something I didn't mention on Camila's post was that she took pictures of me, too! I really hate having my picture taken, but Camila she did a fabulous job. Thank you, Camila!

Since she doesn't have a blog yet (don't worry guys, she knows that it's in high demand and she's working on getting one up), I am going to post some of the pictures for you. I love her vintage, yellowing post-processing look. And, don't you just LOVE her logo?

Which ones are your favorites? What one should I put on my website in my About Section?

James' 2nd Birthday

Photobucket

Yesterday was my nephew James' birthday. He turned 2. I love this little guy! He's going through a super cute stage. He'll run around the room in circles and say over and over again "Stace, watch me, watch me!" His favorite thing to eat is candy, chocolate, cake, chips, all the 'c' words that are unhealthy. James gets excited about many things and when he does, he has this little giggle. Like when you ask him if he wants to eat treats or watch Thomas the Train or Cars, he'll almost be giggling so much he can't answer your question. But then you'll hear him say "Cars, Cars" or "Thomas, Thomas" in the middle of his laughs.

A couple days ago, he and his brother Will were playing together. Will is a big guy, but has a heart of gold. Sometimes he doesn't realize how strong he is or how much bigger he is than James. He was playing a bit rough and knocked James down, which is why James has a mark by his nose. I thought it was cute and definitely part of a little boys' life, so I didn't Photoshop it out of the images ;)

At our little family party, celebrating James, I was excited because it was the first time I got to play with my new lens! Yep, you heard me right. I got another lens! It's a 70-200 f/2.8. I've never had an awesome telephoto lens so I am stoked about this. It was a little challenging trying to use it indoors in a small room, but I seriously love it already. The last 80% of the images were shot with it. The only problem is that it's SO HEAVY. I will need to start lifting weights or something to buff up my arms....

Camila

Photobucket

Camila is 8 months pregnant, but I would have to say that she is the most beautiful pregnant woman ever! I had so much fun taking her maternity pictures. She is an amazing photographer in Utah County and I was thrilled when she asked me to do this. Camila's long gorgeous hair and dazzling dark brown eyes are a killer combination and she looks simply stunning. Thanks Camila!
