Well Worth The Wait.

Well, I have been slowly working at getting all of Grayson's photos together. It has been crazy busy this semester and it took a little longer than I had hoped to get these up, but here they are. The first photo I had some help from one of my most avid followers, Jessica. I had a few ideas I wanted to try out and she certainly made them better than I had ever hoped. Thank you Jessica, for creeping on my blog from the very beginning and letting me know that you wait for posts to go up. Thank you for helping me to create the awesome portrait for my Newborn Portfolio, I couldn't have done it without your mad skills. I appreciate your constant encouragement. It means the world to me to know that you're so excited to see what I am going to post next. Grayson is now a month old and growing at an unbelievable rate. He is handsome as ever, and I love his little smiles so much. These will be just the start of his modeling career with me. I cannot wait to see him grow up and become a dapper fellow. Until then. Enjoy.

Just A Tease.

Little Grayson finally decided to join us.

 Born February 11, 2013 11:53a 8 lbs 20 inches. 

Once again, this is just a tease until all of his pictures are done. But I had to be the proud Aunt and show him off the first chance that I could. Of course he got the dapper Bradley gene. Here is his modeling debut. Enjoy. 

For Time and All Eternity.

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph a wedding this weekend for one of my friend's little sister Laura. Grant and Laura drove all the way from Colorado to be married in the Las Vegas Temple this past Saturday. I was able to capture the first moments of their new life together and they came out pretty well. Congrats Grant and Laura, I wish you all the best. Enjoy.

Daddy's Little Girl.

Ian and Jill go back and forth with presents to each other of Olive. For Valentines Day Jill asked me to take some pictures of Olive in this adorable firefighter getup for Ian's present. My mom helped me make  a cute animal face to attach to my lens while we shot, and I think that the result was better than expected. While Olive wasnt a fan of all of the props (Ians rather heavy helmet) she was quite the trooper and was able to pose for these shots. Adorable and full of love, here is daddy's little firefighter. Enjoy.

One thing that I have learned in my life is that if you really want something, and you work hard enough for it, you can get it. Alyssa is a good example of this. She is a huge Marilyn lover. There was an opportunity to enter into a contest to be The New Marilyn in the 2013 movie that they are working on casting for. She asked me to help her with pictures to submit within the contest and we spent time putting everything together. Out of 150 girls that entered into the contest, Alyssa made the top 25. In 12th place even. She has spent hours learning about Marilyn's look. The make up, hair, and body language that she was able to portray when she was alive. I was able to capture the work that she put in and this is the result. Above is the link to the video that my friend Tenaya, Alyssa, and I made to show her transformation into Marilyn. Take a minute to watch it and vote for her on the bottom left of the page. She does an amazing job, and I would love to see how far she can go with this. As always. Enjoy. 

Birthday: TBA

Grayson Kendall is certainly keeping all of us on our toes with anticipation of his arrival. Already having to one up his father with his one day late debut, Grayson is now on day four of doing only what he wants to do. Schaara and I have spent the last five months planning shoots for her maternity shots and while this is not all of them, I must say that I am more than pleased with how they came out. I will wait until he is born so that we have start to finish shots for you all. Schaara, thank you, for being so patient with this project for me. You helped me so much with ideas and were willing to do whatever I asked to help with this. I am so happy that we were able to do this, and I am glad that I was able to photograph your first pregnancy so that you can have these to show Grayson when he is older. This helped me to grow as a photographer and that means so much to me. I can't wait to do his newborn photos but until then. Enjoy.

Semper Fi.

Jon here, came into my life by complete chance, or pure bordem. However you want to look at it, he has become a good friend of mine. Sadly he lives in Maryland so I do not get to see him that often. He was able to come to town for a few days, and has been asking me to take pictures of him since he has been working hard at toning up and fitting into that real Marine like body. As you can see, his hard work certainly has paid off, and he even got quite the work out during our shoot. All in all, thank you Jon, for these awesome shots, for serving our country, and keeping us the land of the free. Enjoy.
