Ann + Anakin {mom and son= bff}

Christmas Eve day, a strangers house, a few presents, a graffitied train, a couple of stairs, and an adorable family = one of my favorite Christmas Eve's EVER!  I've known Ann my whole life and know how funny and spunky she is, but to see that come out in her little boy, Anakin, was something very special.  He.Loves.His.Mom.  He was clinging to her like she was life, which to him....she is.  It was so fun to capture the moments in between posed smiles.  That is my new goal as a photographer, to capture the moments, in between moments.  I hope you enjoy these, as much as I thoroughly enjoyed this shoot!

Prepare yourselves for one of THE cutest little boys on earth.  He is such a sweetheart and brings so much joy into this world.

So this is just some fun I've been having with photoshop, seriously amazing!  so you'll see the orginal and the edited version.  Come back soon for some awesome pics of "Out of the Blue Entertainment."

ventures.

well my sweet hubby made me open two christmas presents early, he was too excited to wait.  He got me a sweet Canon 50mm lens, and the most incredible camera bag i've ever seen.  therefore, we had to have some ventures with it all so here are some from that.  love you bye!

Wildlife Adventures

ok... so maybe animals trapped on an island, or that live at a public pond aren't so wild, but I got as up close and personal with these beasts as I would like to.  Jesse and I decided one morning to take a trip out to Antelope Island.  THE. MOST. LAME. ATTRACTION. IN. LAYTON.  so random!  Therefore we had a blast. :)  So we just drove around this island and took pictures and hiked a bit, and drove home.  My husband is pretty adventurous, even if it, sadly, does not turn out to be jurassic park. :)  A few days later, we went on another outting to visit some of our favorite winged friends.  We fed them REALLY OLD BREAD, they might die from it.  My question, who even came up with feeding old bread to birds?  I may never know, but it might be one of our favorite dates so my apologies to the birds...  So here are some of the faves of those days!  I really love photographing nature, it's candid and beautiful without trying. love. it.

Out of the Blue Entertainment

Presenting, my first few shots of some awesomely talented guys.  Out of the Blue Entertainment has officially declared me, kaylabug photography, as their OFFICIAL photographer.  I must admit that shooting a show, inside with terrible lighting, posed a few problems.  I'm not the type to love the outcome of pictures with a flash, but these turned out pretty good in the end.  I need to learn a few more tricks and not be so nervous and then it'll be alright!  So the guys names are Ammon Stevenson, Derek Myler, Jordan.. not sure.., and Cam.. again no clue of the last name.   But they're all awesome!  They have a guest comedian almost every time so the police officer photographed is an unknown name to me also (sorry).  They play every friday at Firehouse Pizza in Logan.  You get a buffet and a show.  SO.GREAT.  They do improv games but also stand-up, movies and eventually they will show off their musical abilities to us.  Also you will notice a picture with mouse traps... yes it IS what you're thinking.  Pretty much they get blind folded and try to avoid the traps... humans are sick but it really is highly entertaining.  But here is their Halloween show!  Enjoy!
