washington trip part three | salt lake city child and family photographer

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

While in Washington the kids and I went to visit my dad in Des Moines and then headed out to the Seattle Center with his wife and her son and his daughter for some fun times. It has been forever since I’ve been to the Seattle Center…probably since New Year’s Eve 98…and a lot has changed, but so much was still the same. It was so much fun to go there with my dad as he and I spent many a Saturday there while he tried to listen to the music and I wanted to ride the rides. I remember riding a roller coaster with him there and knocking out a tooth…I remember putt putt golf with him there and so many trips to the Science Center and many other great memories.

Although the EMP was built after I spent so much time at the Seattle Center as a kid (it was there when I was older, but I never have visited), it’s still pretty awesome to look at. Maybe someday I’ll get to go inside

We walked through the Center and saw some old sights and then headed towards the fountain. The kids all had a great time and got very wet, but there were lots of smiles to go around!

After we got the kids to dry off, we let them go on a few rides and of course Mr Smily just loved them…

washington trip part two | salt lake city child and family photographer

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

While on our trip to Washington this summer, my mom and the kids and I did a lot of visiting of places that held memories from my childhood. I was also lucky enough to meet up with my best friend from when I was 5 while she was on her visit from Finland. It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other and now we both have our own kids. We decided to meet at Madison Park where we used to spend so much time together as kids.

I love this image of Claire…this is the park that I used to go to with my friend so often as a little girl as well as my dad on our Wednesday and Saturday visits…I promise those stone animals were much bigger when I was little…

After the park, we headed over for some lunch at a restaurant we’d all been to before although it was under a new name…and then a quick swimsuit change and a trip down to the beach. So fun to have our kids swim and play at the very same beach we played together as kids.

And no trip to Madison Park is complete without a trip to the Bakery…I didn’t get a maple bar, which is what I remember getting when we were little, but it was so cool to sit there with my best friend, her kids, my kids and both our moms as if we all just lived up the street again. Getting old and growing up is tough…keeping in touch with old friends is hard, and I miss her all the time. Finland is a long way from Utah…and Utah is a long way from Finland. But it’s amazing to see how we just slip back into close friends the second we see each other…

washingotn trip part one | salt lake city photographer

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

It’s been a busy and crazy summer…especially those last couple weeks. And now that school has started, I’m starting to get back on track with things. The kids are loving school, each have great teachers and even little Max is loving being at school all day long. They’re back in fall sports, soccer and swimming and flag football to start soon which keeps us all busy as usual and this weekend starts college football and other great fall things…my very favorite time of year!

I have lots of photos to catch up with and wanted to share a few from our stay at my mom’s house in Tacoma…it was fun visiting home, but it just reaffirms that home is really Utah now, which is a great thing.

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

I recently had the opportunity to photograph this beautiful family…their two sons are so much fun…the oldest is simply the perfect gentleman. He’s extremely well spoken and completely at ease with adults, a great kid to be around.

and his younger adorable brother…full of smiles and laughs once he warmed up a bit.

on a mission… | salt lake city family photographer

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

I was asked to take some family photographs of this beautiful family as they appeared just days before their second oldest son left on his mission. It was great to visit them in their home and take advantage of their beautiful front yard. We had intended to make sure we got some family shot…which I will post some of those in another post…but also focused on some individual shots as well.

This week’s What to Wear Wednesday for carrieowensphotography is for the girls in your life and comes from the help of a photographer friend of mine Kelsey Anderson, who has created some great combinations to get your mind going in selecting your outfits for your session. And when selecting your outfits for your session, don’t forget about texture and accessories, they can both add a lot to an otherwise simple outfit!

swimming, birthdays, no more school and a broken computer | salt lake city photographer

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

It’s been a crazy summer so far in the Owens household…my youngest had his last day of Kindergarten on the 2nd, then my older two were done with school on the 3rd…which also happened to be miss Claire’s 8th birthday. So the next day is the first official day of summer in our home…and my computer dies. I had these big dreams of starting some awesome posts and taking great photos to post for my 365 project, but instead I spent over a week dealing with coming to terms with the fact that my old computer was dead (all data was A-OK!!) and that I needed a new one…and last night I finally got the new computer. All is right in my world again and so I can post…however, I have realized over the last week that just because the kids are out of school, that does not mean I have any time to get things done! So, as a warning, summer postings may be a little on the light side

Me thinks the girl likes to pose…cracks me up that Max is just not having it – nothing new there!

I’m thinking that after seeing yet another photo of the three of my kids walking together, that I need to do some sort of series or album…it’s one of my favorite images to shoot of them and I seem to do it on all our shoots…something to add to my to-do list!!
And now we’re on to Miss Claire’s party with family…I loved this shot, even with the grainy look to it because her expression is just so sweet. She just loves us singing to her, she was genuinely so very happy.

And a quick couple shots of Max in his sideways hat…I had no idea he was so very gangsta. The kids were enjoying their Sonic slushies in the backyard…I love that kid. Blue slushie lips and all!

Last week was full of swimming and other summer activities…I’ll be trying to do a better job with my 365, but I know I won’t be perfect! On Friday the kids and I went to Temple Square with their great grandmother to see the sights…we looked around, had a great lunch, Claire got to see many a bride, and then we got rained out. Here’s a quick shot in the Tabernacle.

And now I’m done…off to watch last night’s recorded Bachelorette and get some reading done…look for a swim meet post tomorrow, since I know you’re all looking forward to one! Have a good evening everyone, I’m so glad to be back in the world with a computer!
