Helen Hunt Falls

So over the weekend we went and explored Colorado a little bit more. We went with some couples up to Helen Hunt Falls and it was cloudy and kinda drizzling so it was perfect weather for pictures and a small hike. I gotta admit that while I love the beauty of nature, I'm much more intrigued taking pictures of people. So I only got a few shots of "nature" and ya I still think I'm not to good at it. It was a pretty fun trip and it was nice to get to know some more couples that have moved in recently- There were four couples and for some reason I only got pictures of three- but I swear they're were four (sorry Samantha & Mark) The Geddes- Dave, Melissa, & Clay Les & Amy BlakeBryce & Jamie BlakeOn the way home Dave took me on a drive through downtown a little more cuz' I've been looking for a place to shoot some family pictures- anyhow some of it was blah, but we got to one part of town and I was just oohhing and ahhing. It had a lot of the older Craftsman and Victorian homes that are on the tree lane road and just have that old town feel that I love so much. I would so love one of those homes that has so much character and charm, but Dave does not like them really, at all, I guess not so much the homes as it's more the no space/neighbor up your butt factor of those homes. Anyways I've decided I really love it here :) It's beautiful!

P.S. Honey I got proof that your just as baby hungry as I am :)

More Practice

So I was able to get some more practice yesterday, of taking pictures of this little cutie in our ward. She was such a good baby and was just calm and sat there contently- but she refused to go to sleep even though she was so so so tired-- at the last second she finally gave in. It was kinda a challenge since I don't really have very much stuff so we we're pulling different furniture and blankets and stuff from all over the house. I'm very glad Paula brought her over though cuz' it was lots of fun-







If you wanna help me out, you can tell me which one you like the most :)

I've just been trying to keep busy so I haven't really took the time to blog much- sorry. Yesterday Melissa came over and I snagged just a few shots of her little cutie. Hopefully I can get my life/brain a little more organized so I'll fit in blogging more :)

Trip Home

So we decided that we would make a quick trip home to suprise Dave's mom, go to our nieces Lizzie's wedding and just see the fam- not to mention visit our good little doggie Tiki, and my parents new dog.

I had forgotten how long of a stinkin drive it was, and how insanely boring driving through Wyoming is. Luckily the kids were pretty darn good for the drive, they didn't whine and Brynley only had to pee twice as much as the rest of us. :)
I wish we could have stayed longer, it felt like we didn't have very much time with the family, and I kinda feel like I need a restful vacation from the vacation it was so busy, but lots of fun 2.

While we were there we took pics at my niece Lizzie's wedding and I got to use my bro-in law Terry's Nikon D80, while Dave shot with my camera. It was pretty fun and I enjoyed using the Nikon though it took me some time to figure out the controls and the light was pretty low so I had the ISO cranked way up and I don't know how Nikon handles that, but hopefully they turned out well- If not there were about four photographers there, I'm sure at least one got some good shots. :) I haven't went through those shots yet, but I'll post some when I do.
On Saturday, me and Dave got to go and shoot some family pics for The Wells, which was tons of fun. I'd forgotten how much I loved to take pics and mess with them afterwords- I'm gonna have to find some family's here in Colorado to practice on so I can keep up on it, and some places to shoot at. (anyone interested?)
Anyways It was tons of fun seeing everyone, Dafne cut and dyed my hair(It really needed a trim but I'm still not to sure about the reddish brown color that it is now) and we got to go to Cafe Rio (which I am jealous that they have one now and we don't) All in all it was a pretty fun weekend, and the drive home wasn't too bad after we got a laptop adapter for the car and I was able to work in Illustrator.

Anyways here's a few pics we took on Saturday.
