{cougar-lovers} Jones' family photos

Mrs. Jones & I have been friends for over 10 years now. She's my gorgeous friend that will crazily pick herself apart in these pictures and the rest of us will secretly hate her for being so perfect. Look at them once, love them and walk away Mrs. Jones!! I lovingly showed up to their shoot wearing a bright red University of Utah shirt to get my BYU Cougar fans smiling. ;) Mommy Jones thinks like me about family photos: she wants her 1 year old baby boy to smile & laugh delightedly during family photos. Well, baby boy wanted to do what baby boy wanted to do! Despite the crazy wind & rain when we first started shooting and baby D doing what he wanted (even with Grandma doing everything in her power to get his attention & make him smile), the pictures turned out great! You look smokin' hot Joneses!

This first picture summed up what baby boy wanted to do & what Mommy didn't want him to do.... LOL!

{singer/songwriter} Melody Nash

Guess who got to photograph the next up & coming country star, Melody Nash??? THIS GIRL!!! I have known Melody for quite a few years now and she's finally just going for it. She & her family are packing up & moving to Nashville (hello, their last name is "Nash" they BELONG in Nashville!) to pursue her dream of being a country singer/songwriter. Her website has a few songs that you can listen to click here. I would like to go back in time & include "Idiocracy" on a mix tape for some lame boyfriend(s) I used to have. ;)

As you can see she's a knockout. Combine her looks & Fremont Street (old Vegas) for pictures and you KNOW we have some good stories! Guys were telling her to "work it!!", giving her advice, offering to slap her on the butt, etc. I even had to chase down a guy that snatched up her cowboy hat! I mistakenly set it on a parking meter behind us and we walked 5 feet away. Which I guess means "we don't want it". What a fun way to say goodbye, right?? I love you tons Melody Nash! I can't wait to buy your first cd, jam out to your songs on the radio & see you play your songs live on the big stage!!! I'm rooting for you girl!!
