2011-02-15T20:50:00.001-08:00

These are my handsome boys. At the beginning of November my Husband and I took the boys up to the canyon one last time before the snow and to snap some pictures. Afterwards we stopped by his parents house and the boys were having so much fun on the front porch I pulled my camera out again. :) I cant believe how big they are getting! 19 months old now! eeek, where does time go? Anyways, I got sooo many cute shots of them. These are just two that I LOVE!

Here is something that you all need to go checkout. www.writeawayeveryday.blogspot.com

Whether you like to just read stories or if you love to write them, I would suggest going here. Her name is Demery and she has a blog dedicated to writing short stories about pictures that she finds and posts.

She left me a very nice message and asked if I would join in and give her a picture for her to post on her blog. I of course said yes. I was actually very excited to see what picture she picked (I gave her several to chose from because I could not decide) and what story she would write to go along with it. Today she posted the picture and story on her blog. Please go check it out and join in if you love to write. I would write something but I am not so good at writing stories, so I will just stick to taking the pictures. That is how I tell stories. :)

I just finished reading her story that went with the picture and I loved it!! Demery you did the picture justice!! I could have never thought up such a wonderful story. Thank you for including me in your blog.

I hope you all go check it out and enjoy your time there. Have a wonderful day,

Kelli West

Such a Beautiful Family!

2010-08-06T20:34:00.000-07:00

2010-05-31T07:35:00.000-07:00

I am a slacker when it comes to this blog. I have been taking the easy route and posting the pictures on my facebook profile. It just takes so long to upload pictures on here. My Husband is working on a website for me, so hopefully that will be done in the near future. Until then, I apologize :)

Here is a family I just did. They were so much fun, and so was our little adventure to get to this house that is on a hill. I had to park my car and hop in with them because I had the chance of getting stuck on the way. Anyways, the kids were SOOOOO good! The boys however kept asking me how many more photos I had to take of them...lol. Thanks for a fun night you guys!!

Some of you might remember this cutie from a while back. Well she is now a senior and wanted some pictures done. We went up the canyon to get some beautiful shots. The clouds were covering the sun sadly enough, and there were gusts of wind up to 40mph. But we still had fun! Here are some for now. I will be posting some more a little bit later on. Enjoy!!

My Boys!

2009-09-09T08:57:00.000-07:00

Well, two months ago my beautiful boys came into this world. They have been my only subjects of photography lately. I love them so much, and have learned it's much more harder to take pictures of your own babies than it is for other babies. I have gotten some fun shots of them. I am still not sure when I will be starting back up with weddings and families. If your are interested drop me an email and we shall see. I am just loving being at home, and it is hard to get away when my husband is at work. Soon, though I shall return! -Kelli Oh, they are 2 weeks old here :)

Kurt & Shaileen's Wedding

They were so much fun, and we pretty much had the whole temple grounds to ourselves. We only saw one other couple that day, it was fantastic! Thanks you guys for being fun

The Assent Band Pictures

2009-03-23T15:28:00.000-07:00

I have been meaning to post these. These guys were hilarious to work with. We were laughing a lot, especially at the end of the shoot!! Anyways, sorry it took so long to get these up guys....

Something I didn't expect....

2009-03-11T13:25:00.000-07:00

SO, as many of you may know, I am pregnant. I am 19 1/2 weeks along. I was going to stop taking pictures in July because I am due at the beginning of August and I figured I would be too big to get up and down, and really be not be able to take pictures the way I would love to do. I WAS going to resume taking pictures in October which is a couple months after the baby is born....at least that all was the plan until yesterday.

Yesterday my hubby and I went in to our first ultrasound appointment to find out what we were having. As I saw the picture come up on the machine I saw two little circles. I turned to our ultrasound lady and asked if that was what I thought it was.... if it was two babies. She said to me, "Yup, you are having TWINS!" COMPLETE SHOCK!! We were nont expecting this at all.

SO this has changed things a little bit. My due date went up to July 28, and they said for the most part twins usually deliver 2-3 weeks early. So that puts me at the beginning of July. And then I started thinking how big I am going to get... I will be getting bigger alot sooner. SO I have made the decsion to stop taking pictures after JUNE 5th. That will be my last wedding for a while. Like normally planned I was going to start back up in October again, but I am now thinking that I won't put a time on when I will start back up. I'm not sure how life is going to be with TWIN BOYS to look after. All I know is that it will be crazy! So I'm sorry and sad. Sorry for those who might havebeen wanting me to take pictures for them, and so sad that I will be missing out on all the weddings.

We are very excited, it's just a very life changing experience. If you have ANY questions at all, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE email me. I do have several friends that are FANTASTIC at photography,and have a similar style to mine. So i will refer you to them if you would like.

Thanks so much for being understanding. I hope it all goes well!

My two cute nephews!

2009-02-26T15:41:00.000-08:00

These are my two adorable nephews. I can't believe I never posted these. Anyways, these were taken back in late October or early November. They were so hilarious. My sister and I would find ourselves cracking up by their smiles or facial expressions. It was a fun time, and they were so good! I love the serious looks they give. There are a couple pictures where we told them to "look tough" and the result was priceless. Anyways, enjoy!
