Our Family

Casey and I have been married over 12 years! Casey still loves to cheer on his BYU Cougars and the Utah Jazz and I have time I love to squeeze in my Photography and running. These are some snap shots of our busy life with our 4 children. 2 girls and 2 boys!

Hobbies. It's about time.

In order to do better at something you have to practice. Practice takes time. Time is something I rarely have. I feel like I could spend everyday cleaning the house and taking care of my childern and that's all. And I still wouldn't have time to do that as well as I want. Lately my friend Rebecca has cost me a clean house and made my laundry room look like a bomb hit it! She has sucked my back into sewing again and somehow made me think it would be "fun" to run a half marathon! So, since time isn't something I have in excess, something has to give. That would be the laundry and the bathrooms.
Now that I'm sewing and running again and my house is a disaster why not try to squeeze in some photography! I need to keep taking pictures so I can improve. My problem is I would so rather take pictures than clean. Besides, I'm already really good at cleaning. I don't need the practice. So these are some pictures of my parents at their house. My dad just finished his waterfall, and the yard is gorgeous with everything in bloom! My parents love to work in their yard and have such a great eye and talent for it. I thought I would experiment a little with the pictures.
(I wanted to do a green thumb picture. I couldn't make it exactly what I wanted, but kind of cool anyway.)

I also had a chance to do a photo shoot with a friends daughters. Very photogenic, almost too easy! This is how a couple turned out. The rest are on my photo blog.

I love to take pictures! And I love a clean house! I just wish I had a little more time!

Just keep it up. Photography is one of those things you can never stop learning. It's a constantly changing art. But I thoroughly enjoy it as well! Hence why I've done it all this time with my own business and worked for a year at a nice studio! I'm currently working on my new website since I changed my web host. We'll see how it turns out though. : ) And I wish something didn't have to give too. For me it's usually the cooking unfortunately. Good thing my husband enjoys cooking too.

Wow! I can't believe that's at your parent's house. It looks fabulous (as does your photo skills). I feel the same thing about time. Except I'm not doing anything but being pregnant. I'm so tired and sore I don't get much done at all! This passes, right?
