A joy

It is such a joy to know that you have friends all over the world that when you see them after so much time has past it is like you've never been apart. When I went to shoot Antara's engagement photos in LA I was lucky enough to catch back up with some great girlfriends who made such a large impact on my life. It is awesome to watch them be mothers and to meet their children. Here are Christine's adorable boys!

Antara is engaged!

I have been looking forward to Antara's wedding since I finally met her at her bridal shower a few months ago. I got to go out to Los Angeles to do their engagement photos and had such a great time getting to them better. Now I am SOO excited to shoot their wedding as they so fun together. We only had a few minutes of light to make this shoot happen but we found great light and had a ball!

oh baby

WOW! All I can say is this family is so blessed. What a bundle of babies! I have been looking forward to hanging out and shooting these babies since I knew they were going to be coming. Not only did we shoot triplets- but we shot triplets plus big brother! What a great group! I think we dirtied every blanket that I brought and everyone Mom had too! Thanks for letting me love on your kiddos!

belly

WE LOVE BABIES! But- before baby comes belly! Pregnant women amaze me. They are in such a unique time in their lives that is so beautiful. I look at these Mother-to-be's and see such strength, beauty, unknown, and love. It is such a miracle to capture this time knowing in a few short weeks I'll get to meet the new life that was cookin' in there. Meta came to me as an artist understanding the importance of having her life reflected in art. Enjoy your art!

Nothing I love More

There is nothing I love more than a couple who trust me and gives me the freedom to capture and create. Around here most couples want their engagement photos downtown. It is true that most of the "cool" things they have seen their friends do in photos are downtown. Now- we could have been like everyone else and gone downtown and we would have come out with some amazing shots. BUT that doesn't really tell the story of this couple. They met a long time ago at a carnival. So during our consultation I told them it would be really fun to do their engagement photos at a carnival to reflect their story. At first I think they thought I was off my rocker! Even when they showed up they were a little uneasy about it- but Laura said, "we've seen your photos and we know you aren't going to make us look dumb and cheesy". Good point Laura (although she did point out how dumb I looked trying to get these shots) :)
I LOVE all your photos and am excited for you! Thanks for trusting me!

how bout a baby

Well, let's do a baby next! We've actually had tons of newborns lately and we LOVE that! This is sweet baby Cal- happy to have you here Cal!

getting behind

I hate getting behind on my blogging because then I have so much good stuff to show you I get overwhelmed and don't blog! Yikes, not a good thing. So, here we go. . . time to catch up!
What can I say about this wedding except it was awesome! They had a very common problem- 2:00 mass but the reception not starting until 6. What to do during the down time? Most couples assume they have to do what they've seen all their friends do at weddings- long photo shoot somewhere and then hit a bar. This is a fine option but not if you want to be different and show your wedding party a great time. Jamie and Mark wanted to be different and they wanted their day to be fun. SO- they surprised the wedding party by taking them bowling. After Mark proposed the Jamie they went bowling- so this was the perfect tie in. What a great time and their wedding party could not have been happier about this! Way to go Mark and Jamie!!

I promised

Oh Cami- I promised I would blog your wedding but I didn't realize how hard it would be to choose only a few photos! Most of my brides tell me they want their weddings to be fun. Truthfully I do have the most fun and most beautiful brides in the area! I think this year I will have two tied for the most funI have ever been apart of (the other one I will blog next). Cami's family has a way of making you fall in love instantly and then there is the fun. THEY ARE CRAZY! (in a good way) :)
Let's just say that there were feather boas, rolling on the floor, ties around heads and the crazies limbo contest I have ever seen. I adore your photos and am so glad I was apart of your day!

2 kiddos

Love these guys everytime I shoot them. Darling kiddos and so cute too. They are regulars at the studio and I can never wait to see them again!

ahhhh

oh yes- we LOVE newborns!! L O V E them!! In fact they are becoming one of our favorite things to shoot. (of course weddings will always be my number 1!)
sharing the sweetness . . .

Millard North Senior

YEAH!! It is senior time!! Here is our First SENIOR SELECT! (featured senior) Sydney totally rocked the studio!

Name: Sydney Kading

School: Millard North Highschool

Extracurricular activities: I love to sing, I am in a choir called Bel Canto outside of school. We practice 4 hours a week and travel to different places every summer such as Europe, and Mexico. I also am involved in my schools theatre program.

Favorite thing about my school: I really love how all of the teachers really care about the students and want them to do well! I also love the school spirit. :)

Favorite Hangout: I love to hang out at my friend's houses, but I have just discovered a new found love for Zorinsky Lake. I love to take my dog on walks and run there!

If I could travel anywhere, where would I go: I would go back to Paris in a heart beat. I loved the beauty, history, and culture of the City.

Plans for after highschool: I am pretty sure I am going to study musical theatre in college. I would love to be on broadway someday, but if that doesn't happen I think i will study law as my backup.

One thing my friends don't know about me: My friends and I are all very close, so we basically know everything about eachother, but some of them just recently learned that I have been a vegetarian for two years so I guess that can count! :)

Why do I love Janine Mcclintock Studios: I absolutely loved Janine Mcclintock studios because of the amazing positive energy! I had never done a photoshoot before so I was very nervous, But Mrs. Mcclintock was so encouraging and happy, that it made me feel very comfortable! I also loved how creative the locations were. Another plus was having my hair and makeup done, Toni was amazing and did exactly what I wanted! Over all, The day was an unforgetable experience and I would highly recommend Janine Mcclintock Studios for anyone wanting some amazing pictures and an awesome experience!

In Love

I spent another part of my holiday weekend spending time with these two lovebirds! I could have shot them all day and am SO looking forward to their wedding. We chatted like we were old friends and they were just a joy to be around. Thanks Emily and Mike!!
