Happy Halloween

I love this time of year! I truly look forward to it all year long. I love to see the kids get so excited about their costumes. Carson has had his costume picked out for months now and has worn it every day since getting it. I told him today that I wanted to take his picture and proceeds to strike this Spiderman pose with the web thrower flying hot! That kid kills me! Callie loves her Snow White costume! Big shout out to my friend Jodie for making the awesome Snow White headband! It's a perfect replica and Callie hasn't taken it off! Thanks Jodie! :) Molly's is re-playing the little monkey costume from a couple of years ago. Love it!

We hope you all have a spooktacular night!

Happy Halloween!!!

Gallup in November

I'm headed to Gallup, NM for Thanksgiving and will be scheduling sessions, November 25th and 26th! It's a great opportunity for updating the kids pictures, senior pictures or even those last minute family pictures for the Christmas cards! If you are interested, contact me at: shanawhipple@hotmail.com

Here's a peek at a few images from last years Thanksgiving trip!

Miss H Senior Pictures

Okay, I think this might be a new favorite session! I love this girl! I have known Miss H for several years and just think the world of her. We had a great time shooting these images. Here's a quick preview for you H! The rest will be ready soon!

Holiday Mini Sessions

It's that time of year again. Time to think about those family pictures and Christmas cards! After several requests I have decided to bring back the Holiday Mini Sessions this year! Hurray! I had a great time doing this last year and got to meet so many cool families. This year, I've opened 10 spots. I will open up more spots if needed but my time is becoming limited so don't wait too long to book your session. Contact me to reserve your session at: shanawhipple@hotmail.com or 801-388-3524.

Meeting An Angel

Several months ago I had the privilege of meeting and photographing the Andrade family. Lawrence and Aedra have three beautiful children, Iliana, Xavier and Santana, their youngest daughter. Santana was born with a very serious heart problem and tonight I learned that earlier this afternoon, surrounded by all of her family, Santana peacefully returned home after fighting a courageous battle. I have only spent a couple of hours with her but in that short time I came to know that I was in the presence of an angel. I feel honored and blessed to have been given the opportunity of photographing Santana and her sweet family and would like to share a few images of our session. Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.

Look Who's Walking!

Yes! Molly baby is walking! I've found myself having mixed emotions over this. I love the new phase but so sad the first year is almost over! Next month she turns ONE! Hard to believe. Time seems to go by faster and faster each year! I had to share a few pics but please forgive the poor focus on the last two pics...I didn't have time to adjust my shutter speed...she's quick!

A Tea Party

Tea anyone? This little cutie is Miss E. LOVE her! She brought along her friends Franklin the turtle and Frankie the monkey for a tea party (pretty sure I mixed those up a few times during our shoot...whoops!). Her mom was such a great sport hauling all the furniture with her to our location! We had such a great time shooting at this quaint little orchard...until we were kicked out by some random guy. Thanks random guy. However, despite our being kicked out we still managed to get some really cute shots so it was totally worth it!

Here are a few pics (really more like several) from our tea party! Isn't she darling??!!!

Cousins joined in on the fun for a few shots

Cutie Pants and Projects

Upcoming Events!

I have a huge project in the works that I cannot wait to share with everyone. It has been months in the making and will soon be ready to debut! Keep checking back to find out what I've been up too! It's so exciting. We will be having some giveaways and lots of chances to win some really cool items! You do not want to miss this. Trust me.

So, I found these darling little bloomers at a gift shop and knew I had to have them! Molly was sweet enough to model for me and looks so cute! That baby just makes me smile! Thought I should share a few pics! Have a great day.
