Baby Gabe (Birth Story)

June 16, 2010

Documenting a birth story from my own prospective was more difficult than I thought it would be. Usually, all I can think about is taking pictures, but when it was my own son all I could think about was how beautiful he was. That aside I am more than happy with the pictures I did get.

Sorry it was a lot of pictures, but its my own kid so get over it.

Halloween is for sure one of my favorite holidays, and now that my son is getting old enough to really get excited about it, it makes it that much more fun. This year we carved pumpkins, ate spooky pancakes, drank pumpkin shakes, and of course lots of trick-or-treating. Here are a couple pictures of our Batman and our little stinker.
Halloween was a lot of fun but now that its over we can start getting excited about the next big holidays. Give me a call for your holiday family photos. I plan on posting some examples of my wife’s awesome custom holiday card designs as well, so hurry and save a date before we’re totally booked.

Wow, this was a very productive weekend. Six blog posts in two days. We were in San Diego Last week, I’ll post those photos soon, and as you could tell I got a little behind. I had to end it all with some pictures of my two gorgeous kids. The pumpkin season is almost over and I was afraid I was going to miss it.

Hudson is just the cutest little baby. I might be a little biased because he is my nephew, but I’m positive you will agree.

Sunday mornings

October 2, 2009

As far as church goes, I have always thought the earlier the better. This year our church has been at 1:00pm. So we are lazy all morning, go to church, and then it feels like the day is over. Last week we were all dressed and ready a little earlier than usual, so we went for a little drive, and found this cool place. I think this would be a great place to use for an engagement session or senior session. Its not a very colorful place so vibrant outfits would work well here. Like all parents I love every picture taken of my kids. I love seeing their personalities stand out in every shot. These are no exception.

Sweet Pea turns 1

September 1, 2009

I really can’t believe that my little girl is already 1. This little angel defines sugar and spice and everything nice. Nothing makes my heart melt more than a little hug from her. Happy Birthday Sweat Pea.

Early Morning Boating

August 25, 2009

I love living in Utah, and having the ability to drive a few minutes and be on a beautiful lake up in the mountains. Early Saturday morning we did just that, and went to Jordanelle Lake. The water was pretty cold at 8 a.m. but once you crash a few times the water doesn’t seem so cold. I hurt my wrist earlier that week, so I wasn’t able to really go crazy wakeboarding but thats what little brothers are for. Here a couple shots I got of Chase doing flips on the wakeboard and being thrown off the tube.

Schmidt Family

August 13, 2009

Wow life has gotten busy. I feel like my blog has been so slow lately, and its not from a lack of content. Here is a family session I did a few weeks ago. It was a fun session and I’ll never forget how the mom got the youngest child to smile. She gave him her chapstick and said, “Throw it at mommy”. His eyes would light up and the he would chuck it as hard as he could and bust up laughing. Unconventional but apparently very affective.

St. Geezy

June 5, 2009

For memorial weekend we decided to join up with a group of our neighbors that were heading down to St. George. We had a lot of fun Hanging out by the pool, and stuffing our faces. After spending the weekend with us, everyone now has an idea how crazy and different from each other our kids are. Ethan is just a ball of energy that never runs out. Ada is a happy quiet baby that is content just hanging out eating grass. One day while sitting by the playground watching the kids throw sand in each others eyes, Ethan decided to follow a girl with a soccer ball back to her condo. I started to follow him when we saw him go around the corner. I got up and chased after him. When I finally caught up to him he was two flights of stairs away on the third floor banging on their door yelling HELLO! Next trip we decided is going to have to be an adults only trip. Thanks again everyone for letting us crash the party.

Ethan’s buddy drew is so cute and fun. He really didn’t like being disturbed while he was really enjoying his ice cream cone.

Worth the wait

May 15, 2009

Here are few more pictures of my niece Rian. When it comes to taking photos, she needs a little bit of time to warm up. After walking around a little bit and playing with my son she was ready to go. Rian has more sass than most girls I know, but I think when your this cute it comes with the territory.
