Ben in Bryce (Canyon)

So excited to share some of Ben's recent images crafted in Bryce Canyon, Utah. Thanks to the University Photographer's Association of America for the trip to Dixie and the sunrise photo opportunity.

this should be a travel blog.

Having never really defined the the criteria for what we post here vs. what gets posted in our digital travel diaries, I feel I'm breaking a rule that doesn't exist. And I guess that means it's not really a rule at all.

Still, if a photo was shot while on vacation or, frankly, anytime either of is out of town, I think it should be posted on our other page. But who knows. Maybe someday soon we'll merge the two. It'd sure make life easier. And take some of the guessing out of blogging.

We all need fewer question marks in life anyway.

Now. And Then.

Couldn't help but go back in time and pull out a picture of J&K from 2009 to include with this sneak peek at their recent Faust Park 2011 shoot... So fun to see how these two adorable siblings changed and grown since then! During this shoot, we also learned that Baby J was photographed here when he was six months old. Pretty special place, no doubt.


Love the b/w of K&J on the rocks. Don't you?

It was a dark and stormy night.
Not a creature was stirring, and the dish ran away with the spoon.


I know. It doesn't make sense. But neither have the weather patterns of late.

pillow fight!

What makes you happy? For our little friend Maddox, it's Saturday mornings, siblings, and, of course, a good pillow fight!

Faust Park, But Not the Butterfly House

Some (many?) of you may know of Becca's genuine distaste for butterflies. Perhaps that had something to do with her leaving town and not being able to be a part of the Cannon fam's shoot in Faust Park last weekend. Hmmm...

But we steered clear of the Butterfly House anyway (you can shoot inside, but it takes a lot of paperwork) and, instead, walked around the lake and found spots of shade under trees and used the cool, glass building as a backdrop. The collection of photos, made up of several families, is a gift for Grandma/Great-Grandma's 75th birthday. (Images that will last a lifetime -- an awesome gift idea!)

See more of their family shoot in this 3-min. video/slideshow.
