What I've Been Up To . . .

Hey everyone!!! I thought I'd post a few photoz to let you all know I REALLY AM STILL ALIVE!!! I am just enjoying my BREAK from my business and having FUN with my family!! This first photo was taken by my AWESOME friend, Natalie Park. You can see her work and MORE of my family photoz here: http://www.natalieparkphotography.com/blog/the-harper-family-part-one-saint-george-family-photographer/. We traveled to St. George to have these done. I wanted something different and LOVE how they turned out!! :-)I have had a TON more time to spend with my family, especially with my Cowboy helping with the cows. This stupid cow, that's not even ours, got her head stuck in this barrel and Matt helped her get free! Too funny!! I was just sooo GLAD she didn't run into our truck!!

I took this random photo of my girls out one day checking the water to our cows. I LOVE it and LOVE them!! I LOVE it even more because it's just THEM!! NO fancy clothes, no fancy hair dos, just THEM!! :-)

This is Miss Oaklee. She helped me out on a photo shoot that I did in August and I HAD to snap a photo of her!! I still can't believe how OLD she is getting!!

These two are Matt's cousins. I took this at a family reunion. Aren't they GORGEOUS??

Mindy with her precious little girl after her sister's funeral. This photo to me is PRICELESS and I'm sooo happy Donna asked me to take photoz at Merity's funeral . . .

This photo CRACKS me up!!!

My cousin came to visit with his fiance and new baby, so of course I snapped a photo of them for my scrapbook and for my Grandma's wall.

Ryan Kay asked me to take photoz at the Demolition Derby this year and I told him NO because I am on a break and just really didn't want the HUGE responsibility, but I snapped a few photoz of cars that I knew the driver . . . here's Tyson Ashworth. I took his wedding photoz, so I thought I'd take him being a Demolition car driver!!

And of course, I HAD to get some of Ryan!! :-)

Here's my good friend, Merity Blackett. I took her family photoz just TWO weeks before she passed away from having a seizure in her sleep. Such a SAD thing for her family!! My family is VERY close to Donna, so this photo means the world to me. I was actually "just getting my light" when I snapped this so it's NOT posed or anything, but it's one of the last photoz of Mer . . . Such a PRICELESS photo!! Miss Mer will be missed!!! I'm soo happy that Scott put his arms around his mom and sisters. He did NOOT want to do it, but he did, and they are sooo happy that he did!! Photoz are sooo precious and you just NEVER know when someone in those photoz will be taken from you . . .

Taylor at the ATV Rodeo . . . have I ever mentioned that I LOOOOOVE the Juab County Fair?? Well, I DO!!! :-)

And then it was the Ranch Rodeo. Oh how I LOVE the Ranch Rodeo and couldn't help myself . . . I took a lot of photoz at the rodeo!!

I LOVE to take actions shots and rodeo photoz are my FAVORITE!!! This is my nephew, Tate, running the poles. He's sooo AWESOME!! I just wish I was takin' photoz of my girls, but not sure that will EVER happen, so I take photoz of my nephews and my niece!!

This is Lady, we lost her in August. We also lost our other dog in February, so we're not doing too good with dogs around our house. We've had her for 11 years, so I guess it was time for her to go. We just were NOT ready for it! I'm just sooo happy I take photoz of our "other" family members!!

There ya go, what I've been up to!! I'm still taking a BREAK and NOT scheduling photo sessions right now!! I am having too much fun scrapbooking, spending time with my family, and just being on a BREAK!! Thanks for your continued support!! :-)
