Mulford Family

This family is really a hoot. They are in my ward and I just sit back and admire them. They are full of love and laughter and we had such a fun little session a bit back. I think I went home with sore stomach muscles from laughing so hard. And this was such an important stage to capture, with one son getting married in a few short weeks, and the other getting ready to leave on his mission. Thanks Mulfords!

Maxwells

It's always fun for me to get to hang out with old clients for a while, and to see how their families grow. Like the addition of this incredibly handsome little guy:

To this sweet little character:

What a gorgeous family!

With and incredible back yard. :)

Thanks Maxwells!

And, my lights sold, but I still have my backdrop stand for sale, if anyone is interested. It's portable!

Sweet

Fabulous family, right here. These are some of my favorite people! I've been photographing them for years, but I've known Windy most of my life. She is incredibly intelligent, sweet as pie, clever and witty, and it's obvious she's met her match in Scott. The kids...well, let's just say two of mine fight over them. We picked a gorgeous day for their session and had such a great time.

Now, tell me honestly, do these look okay on here? Not sure I am in love with blogger's new method for loading pics. Not sure they look quite right? Thoughts?


Also, my lights and stand are still for sale. The light kit is TWO lights (I've had questions), and comes with a total of five bulbs. Two sets of the regular as well as an additional CFL ($150) bulb. Email me at joannataylorphotography at gmail dot com if you are interested. I'm taking best offer.

Now on to the show!

Creating Better Habits

Do you know I have a new blog that has nothing to do with photography? I'd LOVE it if you would come join in the conversation! Come check it out here: Creating Better Habits

Matt and Mandi | BELOVED

The way he looks at her, you'd think no one else existed. Not even me with a camera. He loves her, and she loves him, and they aren't afraid of sharing that with one another.
Mandi, who happens to be an incredible photographer (Utah County peeps, check her out) mentioned that she wanted to do a Beloved session. She does a beauty campaign, and I thought it would be fun to have her do some fun shots of me, so we traded. But hello, I totally got the better end of the deal. Awesome pics of me, and awesome pics of them FOR me. :) tee hee.
But really, it's such a neat experience for me to be part of a couple's love for just a little bit. I'm always reminded of the respect we must give one another in order to make things work.
Thanks Matt and Mandi!

Happy Monday!

Oh boy, I am sorry it's been so long! Things in my personal life have been so busy and I've been keeping up with fall sessions and you know the rest. Here's a sneak peek from a recent session, and a song for a mellow Monday.
