little girls, bows, and flowers, oh my!

had SOO much fun with this shoot :) it was so easy and light, and i just got to follow little girls around all evening and capture their silliness, playfulness, and their adorable

personalities.

the great thing about little kids, i decided, was that they are not self-conscious in the least bit when getting their picture taken. at first, they were a little bit confused, going "cheeeeeeese. i'm ready, cheeeeeeese", but after they realized that's not what i was looking for, they all just started playing and blowing bubbles, picking grass, just things little girls do in the yard.

they were all so well behaved and made that night incredibly easy for me. amanda's hair bows and flowers are sooo cute and i think all little girls should have something from her shop!

thanks again amanda! i hope we can work together again!

(check out ther blog a.s.a.p. for sooo much adorable-ness, you will hardly believe it!)

yesterday was a lot of fun. jeremy and i drove up to the salt lake city temple to photograph two groups of families coming out (about an hour apart from each other). i started out the morning with a huge migraine (which seems to be typical on saturdays for me lately), and jeremy showed up at my house RIGHT on time, dressed to the nines, WITH lattes :) i fell in love with him all over again, it was so cute. i didn't even ask him to bring me one. he just said "i knew it was something you would be worried about having time to stop and get" (because YES. i DO need my coffee in the morning. i'm that kind of girl. and fortunately my man knows it!).

the brides and grooms in both groups were absolutely stunning and this was my first time photographing groups larger than 4 or 5 (there were like 35 in one group! maybe. it looked like a lot.), so i was really nervous, but the families were all so cooperative in getting the pictures done quickly so we could avoid getting rained on.

i had a total blast, my adrenaline was just pumping and it was all so exciting. i loved every minute of it!

but seriously, not 2 minutes after jeremy and i finished up and got to it his car, it was just a HUGE down poor. almost unbelievably so.

we were going to stop somewhere to eat, but we didn't even dare face the monsoon. so we headed back home to orem and went for some del taco (something we eat all too much), and then jeremy was really sweet and told me to take a nap, because my migraine was still obviously killing me. i took a long nap then felt pretty good afterwards so i went to jeremy's house and we watched movies and chatted with friends until about 3:30 a.m..

it was a really enjoyable saturday.

today, i'm taking the day off! NO editing! :)

i will start editing more tomorrow.

hope everyone has a wonderful sunday!
