Chelsea's Babies on Shot Day

My great friend Chelsea (you will see her commenting on my blog all of the time) has these beautiful twin baby girls. They just turned a year old and she asked if I could snap some shots of them. She just moved out of the valley and now she only comes back for doctor appointments and things like that. Well, the day that we took these pictures these two babies had shots at the doctors office. They were so sad! We struggled to make them happy, but these pictures turned out really cute. Chelsea was quick thinking and brought along some favorite toys as well as a slushy to feed them. Watch the slide show to see the surge of emotions throughout the photo shoot. Thanks Chelsea, and I can't wait to do this again soon...

I've Been Tagged - again!

So, I have been tagged by 4 photographers. Stacy Young (Three Winks Studio), Raquel Allen (Raquel Allen Photography), Shellee Dralper (my sister - Photography by Shellee), and Alisha Ekstrom (Oakstream Photography). Holly Cow - it is about time I post an entry. My computer crashed and so I have been out of service for a few days. I am back up and running, but possibly only temporally, so I will make my entry now while I can.

So when you get tagged, you are suppose to write 8 things about yourself that no one would know. That is harder than you think! So, here we go...

1 - If you know me this will make you laugh - because it is my heart and soul! I grew up in Wyoming and I am a true cowgirl at heart. I did high school and college rodeo and I competed in Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, Breakaway Roping, and Team Roping. Now I totally live in the suburbs and I am raising my kids as city slickers. My true dream and passion in life would be to get back riding again and to compete. Maybe one day I will.

2 - I have had 10 knee surgeries on my left knee from kneeling down on a needle as a child.

3 - Because I have a bad knee I love doing Pilates. I just purchased a Stott Pilates Reformer Bed and love the breathing and streaching that Reformer Bed Pilaties provides.

4 - I have two beautiful babies! If you are a regular of my blog you see them once and a while. My son Hunter is 5 and starting school this Thursday and my baby girl Ryen just turned 1. My little Ryen plays so hard every day and by the time my husband comes home from work my house looks like it has been stirred with a spoon. My favorite times in live and my favorite memories are of my children and my husband.

5 - This year will by my 10 year anniversary. Time has gone by so quickly, and I feel so blessed to be married to the man of my dreams. He would give me the world if he could! Love doesn't even describe how much he means to me...

6 - My favorite time of day is sun rise. I absolutely love to be outside during the dawn. The air is clean and the earth feels new again. Although I have not biked much this summer, I love to bike at dawn! As a child I use to ride my horse at dawn. The smell of the steam rising off their body and the feel of their heart beat after a great workout and a slide stop! Life doesn't get much better than that...

7 - I can't think of anything else. Let me see... I love to garden and cook. I also love to quilt. Again, because of my busy year I have not done too much of it, but as my baby grows out of her crib I need to get a quilt made for her big girl bed.

8 - I live next door to my best friend in the whole world. We have know each other for 8 years and a year and a half ago we built houses next to each other. Because I do not have family close by she is like my sister. Life is so short and it is so nice to have the ones you love close by.

Well that is enough from me. I have not talked that much about myself sense I was a spoiled teenager. I hope I did not bore you too much, and I hope you all got to know me a little bit better.

Until next time...

Ashley and Nate...

I have been so busy lately and I have been neglecting my blog. So, please check back often over the next few day because I will probably be making multiple entries today and tomorrow as well as next week.

Ashley and Nate were a referral from one of my favorite couples Brad and Melissa. These two are getting married in Texas later this summer. I met them early one morning down at Thanksgiving point and we had so much fun together. Ashley is GORGEOUS! I am so excited to do her bridal session coming up soon! Enjoy the slide show and Nate and Ashley, I can't wait to see you both again soon...

Nate & Marie

The beautiful day that Nate and Marie got married we had some crazy weather. We had beautiful blue skies and some amazing clouds, and then a storm moved in. We finished just in time. As Nate and Marie ran back to the temple, the sky started to sprinkle, and the wind started to blow, and Marie's vail swirled around her head. It was so cute to watch Nate grabed hold of her hand and lead her back through the temple doors into safety! I know that they will have a wonderful life together. Nate is so cute with her, and Marie is a classy classy girl! Good luck, and thank you for letting me share your moment in time...

Shukria & Anthony

I met Shukria at a bridal fair a while ago, and we have had so much fun getting to know each other. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I took sooooo many pictures of her wedding and I have had so much time over the past week going through all of them. She is such a classy bride and she paid amazing attention to detail. To really enjoy her wedding please click on the SLIDE SHOW to see a short preview of some of my favorite pictures the amazing day. Congratulations Shukria and Anthony, and I know you will have a wonderful life with each other. ALWAYS keep in touch, and welcome to the Moments By Kellee family...


















I had the opportunity to work with Bruce with Premier Productions again on this wedding. We also recently did Becca and Steve's wedding with them. They are AWESOME and we LOVE to work with them. For all of you upcoming brides check out there website...

Bingham Family

I shot this extended family session a few weeks ago. I had soooooooo much fun with them. We went to this AMAZING wheat field here in Logan. I am never at a shortage of beautiful places to take people here in Cache Valley! I always feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful place. If you are a blog follower you will have to look closely at these pictures and see if you can pick out any familiar faces. There are 2 bride and grooms and a family session among the mix. It was so much fun to see everyone again and they have such fun families! To see more pictures from the session click on SLIDE SHOW!

Kristin-Kristin-Kristin

I finished Kristin's bridals yesterday and I have been thinking all night about what I was going write about Kristin. We had soooooooo much fun. Kristin is such a beautiful girl, and she has the BEST personality ever! She was so cute and brought several different props, and her mom took us to some AWESOME locations (thanks Jeannette!). We met at Union Station down town Ogden, and from there we went wherever the wind blew us! We had a fantastic time and I was able to be very creative. Kristin wanted very artistic bridals, and I think we really captured that in the window shots. I CAN NOT WAIT for her upcoming Bountiful Temple wedding, she has been an amazing pleasure to work with. Enjoy the pictures, and click HERE to see a slideshow of more of the photoshoot!
