Blue eyes and Kisses! { Milestone, Children, Family Photographer, Logan Utah, Cache Valley}

Here is another cute little guy I got to spend the evening with in September in the studio for his 3 1/2 mo. Milestone Session. Also creating their first Family photos!  I loved his cute little smiles and grins and of course those blue eyes and red hair! I will be taking pictures of him again this month  for his 6 month Milestones, and I'm soooo looking forward to it. Mom and dad are totally smitten by this little guy. Honestly who could resists kissing those cute cheeks!! 

I can't believe how fast this year is flying by! Already in these last 2 months I have worked with as many as half my clients compared to the rest of the year!! It's amazing the growth I'm getting in my business because of all of you and your support and belief in me. I really do have a passion for photography and making beautiful images that will be cherished memories for many years to come!! 
I hope you all have a good night. 

Stay tuned for more great sessions to come! Make sure you hit the follow button so you can catch all the latest updates here at Shooting Star Photography. =)

Michael's Milestone, Military Child {Child, Family, Milestone, Logan Utah Photographer}

I met this little guy when he was almost 2 months old. He was one of my first milestone sessions I was able to do. His mom wanted to do something special for her husband for his birthday this year. She saw this saying below and wanted to do the same. So we did!! I think Michael has the perfect Marine face. Luckily I was quick enough to get this image while he was trying to throw off the hat. I totally love how it turned out though!! It created the perfect look. We printed this out on a 16x20 canvas for his daddy. His daddy totally loved it too!! Since this little man recently had a birthday we also did his own milestone session. This was one of the funnest I have done. Its impossible to get a little guy to sit still for very long so I decided it would be fun to follow him around as he played... and the result was?? Tons of FUN!! He kept us laughing the whole time! :) He absolutely loved playing with the chalk with my daughter too! 












Red, Yellow,and Blue. You are loved Too!! { Cache Valley, Logan Utah Children, Milestone Photographer}

Happy Happy Happy Birthday Macy dear! Happy Days will come to you all year! If I had a wish that it would be, a happy happy birthday to you from me!! 

Milestones sessions are the perfect ways to capture Birthdays and have precious memories like these forever! Miss Macy recently turned 4 years old and we got to spend some time together before then making these beautiful images of her. I tried to get every small detail from toes to noes. :)  She loves My Little Pony's so of course her Mom did an amazing job making her birthday perfect! I love all the bright colors in her outfit and especially the pony on her very special Birthday Shirt!! 


















Earl Family {Logan, Cache Valley, Utah, Children, Family, Couples Photographer}

The fall in Cache Valley is just stunning. The reds, yellows, and oranges really bring life to the valley right before winter. This family was just as lively as the colorful leaves dancing in the breeze.. Their young kids were just as cute as could be too. I got the privilege to meet Kristan Jo early this summer when she asked me to photograph her Lewiston 4th of July Rodeo Royalty. Of course little miss Macy stole the spot light with her very cute curls and sassy sweetness ;)
 Casey and Chance were perfect cowboy gentleman. That cute little guy  Mr. Chance knows who exactly is in charge!! :o) Kristan told me recently that a week after this photo shoot Chance quit sucking his thumb so his picture with his daddy is her last evidence captured of him sucking his thumb! Imagine years from now when she is reminiscing she will have these beautiful images to remember her darling children exactly as they were. This is why I love photographing families and especially children. They change in a blink of an eye.. and so do there cute little things they say and do.
