Too cute!

This little boy was so cute....kept me on my toes though, or should I say kept Dad on his toes!  He was fast and ready to run!  Mom I will be in touch really soon.  Enjoy...

 

blowing a kiss...

Growing up...oh so fast!

The face of fara smith photography "Jenna" just keeps growing and growing.  It has been a long time since we photographed her so we set out to capture some updated shots...let me just say, she is DARLING!  4 years old and way too cute for words...check her out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

**Special News** (2 of 2)

Yes, you guessed it...it's a new baby!  The smith family will welcome a new addition to the family in late October!  And, as if that isn't spectacular news all on it's own, it gets better, drum role please.........................IT IS A GIRL!  She is a true testimony that God does answer prayer and that the desires of our heart really do matter to him!  So that is where I have been the last couple months...sicker than a dog, then trying to play catch-up once I felt better.  I didn't mean to put the blog on the back burner it just happened.  So I have till October to get my website done and many other things on my to do list.  It will be a busy summer filled with much anticipation and excitement as we prepare and await the arrival of my daughter (oh, that sounds so weird to say, I have two boys!). 

I must admit I am having a really hard time with the whole name thing...I thought it would be easy, I have thought of her name since I was a little girl but now that she is on the way I don't have a clue what to name her.  Please if you have any good girl names I would love all suggestions!

***NOTICE TO CLIENTS***

I don't know when I will stop taking fall sessions due to the pregnancy, but please call today to book your fall session so we get you in.  I know it is the middle of summer and Christmas seems so far off but I really don't want to turn any of you away.  If you would like Holiday family portraits please call soon to book your session!

With all that said here are a few of a little new born that I shot a while ago.  Thought it fit the post just perfectly!

 

 

 

 

**Special News** (1 of 2)

I am hoping that posting this will give me the extra boost I need to actually complete the work and get this done..................a brand new web site.  Yes, Fara Smith Photography is getting a much needed face lift!!  I am so excited to have a new site in the works.  Here is just a little sneak peak of what is to come.  Now I am off to finish it so I can finally get it up and running!

This is just half the news though.  Check back for the (2 of 2) to see what else is cooking!!

Senior

I know, I know...I have been seriously MIA!  I really do have a good excuse...I will be blogging about it soon.  But today I just wanted to share some from a recent senior shoot and let everyone know I am on my way out the door to Disneyland!!  I will be back on May 9th so please know that I will return emails and calls at that time! 

Joey and Linda I hope you like!! :)

 

 

 

Just because it's not what you were expecting, doesn't mean it's not everything you've been waiting for...

Just messin' around in PS!!

This is my best friend Jamie...I don't think I have ever met anyone as photogenic as she is!  She is just so beautiful both inside and out.  I took these a really long time ago but stumbled upon them today and started to play with them in Photo Shop.  I went a little crazy but thought they were still cool or should I say different.  Just wanted to share!!  ~fara

 

 

 

 

Luv u girl!!

Cutie Pie!

Short on words today, but wanted to share this session from a couple weeks ago.  I am still accepting model submissions.  If you have a child between the age of 5 and 18 and are interested please contact me.  Thank you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  ~fara

Too cute!

**I am looking for models to model for a 2 day workshop at the end of February.  If you have a child between the age of 5 & 18 and would like to participate or would like more information please contact me.  If your child is selected you will receive 25 high resolution images for participating.  Thanks You!!

I have been messing around with the seamless paper backdrop that I borrowed from a friend.  Not exactly my style but the pics are so darn cute I just had to share.  Enjoy!  ~fara

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

Time...please slow down!

This fall my baby will start kindergarten, where has five years gone?  I think I pray daily for time to just slow a little.  I know it sounds so cliche but they really do grow up so, so fast...our children are ours for such a short time.  If I had one wish it would be for time to slow and for my children to stay little longer. 

So Mason received some money for Christmas and I told him that if he let me take pictures of him I would take him to Target to buy something with his Christmas money, DEAL!  So we went to Target and Mason fell in love with this hat, he had to buy it and he has wore it ever since.  He also bought a pair of slippers, which I thought was so cute because big brother got slippers for Christmas and Mason had to have some too.  What almost five year old do you know that will spend cash at Target on a pair of slippers and a hat?  So our pictures had to include the newly purchased hat from Target...take a look!

Goodbye 2008 . . .

I would be lying if I said that 2008 was a fabulous year.  I was met with many challenges and my fair share of trials...you know,those things in life that get the credit for making a person who they are, or so they say.  I have learned MUCH, lost quite a bit, endured long and have emerged on the other side with a few life lessons.  I have so much to be thankful for and so much to look forward to.  I am no longer going to sit back and wait for success to roll up in my lap or depend on another to make me smile.  I am now convinced that I can do most ANYTHING I set my mind to.  I have amazing friends and a wonderful family.  I live in the best country on earth and I am RICH compared to the worlds standard.  I have learned that no matter what one day holds the sun will always rise on another, and I have learned that baby steps are a sure way to get where you are going if the journey seems long.  I am so blessed, so loved, so grateful and so hopeful of what 2009 has waiting.  So with the end of 2008 and the beginning of 2009 I will watch with tears as my baby goes off to Kindergarten, I will celebrate 10 years of marriage, I will celebrate many things for the first time without my Mom, I will learn to laugh more, I will take more chances and never look back with regret, I will love more fully and most of all I will not be afraid of failing, after all isn't that how we learn.  

To all of my 2008 clients...Thank You for your support and trust, I wouldn't be here today without you!

I wanted to share some of the very first pictures taken with my brand new Nikon D700 that Santa brought me!  Matthew was such a good sport today when I drug him outside in the freezing cold to play with my new camera.  Did I mention how much I love my camera.  I am truly in heaven!  Or should I say so very blessed!  ~fara
