A very simple and profound reminder. Happy Thursday! Also a huge plug for Pinterest where I initially found this great quote and many, many other amazing/crafty/delicious/beautiful/inspiring/though provoking/adorable/practical/resourceful things! If you’re on pinterest leave your pinterest username in the comments. I would love to follow you! I like the great variety there. If you’ve never checked out pinterest go and do it today 😀  Share onfacebook TweetPOST These cousins are adorable. You may remember seeing them a few weeks ago HERE. Today in honor of their grandma’s birthday I wanted to share part two of our photo session. We had the opportunity to take a few more pictures of the cousins together, since everyone was in town for Chase & Yeon Mi’s wedding. I loved when we put the little ones side by side and they instantly held hands and then when Addy started to get fussy, her cousin Andy, put his hand on her shoulder. It was adorable!

Every now and then I have an existing client, close friend or family friend that will ask me to photograph their wedding. It’s a treat for me. After the wedding is over I go back to photographing families and children. One thing I always do before any photo session, is arrive a few minutes early. This gives me the opportunity to walk around my photography location and visualize what I’d like to do. It always helps that I do a consultation with my clients and know what is most important to them and their personalities. I loved walking around Temple Square while Chase & Yeon Mi were getting married.
CONGRATULATIONS Chase & Yeon Mi! Thank you for letting me share a special part of your beautiful wedding!

One, because I honestly love their family! Two, I love to see photographs I have taken throughout their home. It’s always a fun time visiting their family. I adopt myself into most families I photograph. My little ‘Cannon Ball’ is no different. One day I’m pretty sure he’ll call me ‘Aunt Belinda’. Given the fact that he is just starting to piece together sentences, a really long name like Belinda will just have to wait a little bit longer. His mom requested that we go to their family favorite park down on the island in Logan. This was my first time photographing at this location and we all really had fun. You’ll see more from their second shoot later this week! If you’d like to see some of the Rodemack’s other sessions, you can see them HERE and HERE. Share onfacebookTweetPOSTI LOVE being an aunt! I think that I have the most adorable nieces and nephews. Ever. On both sides of my family! I convinced my brother and sister in law to let me have the most valuable part of their family for a weekend. Little did I know that it was the first time spending the night at someone else’s house. I think that everyone (including mom) had a good experience with their first sleepover. I had really high hopes of photographing every little detail and fun we did. Let me say, there is a big difference in entertaining kids for an hour or two and entertaining them for a weekend! Craig had to work a ten hour shift on Saturday and we missed him for most of the fun. We played lots and lots and lots. I was originally thinking I would have more of my nieces and nephews come for ‘Camp Aunt Belinda & Uncle Craig’. It ended up working up a little better to just take one family of kiddos for a weekend and have another family come another weekend. First, I decided that it would be fun to have a pirate party. I decorated with balloons, a pirate pennant and clues for a treasure hunt. We watched ‘Peter Pan‘ our first night and then had a giant sleepover in the living room with everyone. I don’t have night lights, so I bought necklace glow sticks for everyone to wear and put a little trail to the bathroom and kitchen. Now I REALLY wish I would’ve photographed this! It was hilarious to see us all in our bracelets, headbands and sleeping bag zipper pulls that glowed. For the first half hour we dueled with glow stick swords and giggled. It was fun!
Being an aunt is great! Share onfacebookTweetPOSTloading
