For a while now I've been meaning to post some fun photos of my family that we've taken over the course of the last three months. Now that there are so many different entries that I SHOULD have done I decided to group them all together into one.
I know that I need to be better about posting photos and events right after they actually happen. I think it would make my life a whole lot easier instead of waiting like I have now. Oh well, can't magically go back to the past, so here is my family, lately!
Zion National Park, November 2008
Huh?! What's that you say?!
Both Justin and I agree that these next two photos aren't the best of us, but here they are regardless!
We do like these next two ones though...it's all about the self timer!
Justin decided to do a mini photo shoot with me.
Had to show off the fab mustache!
St. George, November 2008
Las Vegas at M&M World, November 2008
Idyllwild with the Kaiser family, November 2008
Love, LOVE, LOOOOVVE the next two sets of photos of my boys!
This one makes me hunch over and laugh hysterically! Hudson, "Mom, take a photo of my scared face!"
More trees.
Disneyland, December 2008
I think I'm going to make a Vision Art Book out of all of these!

We are beyond delighted that Jason + Kelly hired us to shoot their engagement photos as well as their upcoming wedding in March. Why, you ask??? Well because Jason has been one of Justin's super close friends ever since they went to Art Center College of Design together about 5 years back, AND Kelly and I use to cause a little trouble together when I was a young single adult living in Huntington beach about 8 years back! I had lost touch with Kelly after I moved away from the HB and found the man of my dreams then got married. So you could only imagine how excited I was when I found out that Jason found HIS girl of his dreams and it happened to be one of my old friends!
Jason + Kelly are perfect for each other! I remember a few years back (before Kelly was in the picture) I asked Jason to describe his perfect girl and this is what he said, "Well, she's GOT to be a brunette, also someone that is a little out-doorsy, but still super girlie!" That is EXACTLY what Kelly is! So glad they found each other!
We shot their engagement session at the beach right next to where Kelly lives, and I usually have a hard time with the beach, but I have to say that this one definitely surprised me!
When shooting at the beach, we usually ask our couples to bring along one "prop" to help spice things up, Kelly chose this amazing red Japanese umbrella...LOVED IT!
Out of focus, long shutter, running while shooting, super real...one of my favorite shots from the day.
Obviously, my favorite shot of the day!!!!
nate kaiser said:
do you mean more real or more canon??? ;) awesome shoot amelia!!!

This is amazing. Great color. Wonderful detail. Congratulations Jason and Kelly!

jackie wonders said:
i totally feel the same about the beach! but, what i loved this shoot b/c you made it so much more about them than the setting...and, the "adding a prop" idea for sandsoaked areas :) thanks for sharing!

WOW! Talk about re-inventing the wheel! So remember that one time when all beach shoots were the same ol' crapo and every pic the same as the next? You destroyed them! All of them! Wizards you are...Wizards! oh and don't worry about Nate's nikon lame-inocity, he'll come back to the fold. Or I will make him come back to the fold. CAMERA KAI!
