Jacob is the son of my former co-worker at CNN.
A long time ago. We were both fresh out of college when we worked together. No wives, husbands, houses, kids….my, things have changed.
I was so excited to see him again and meet his little man for a mother’s day gift for his wife (who is also a photographer). What a sweet gift. And adorable little guy.
So, I usually try to have a theme for these posts…and this month? Notsomuch.
The theme is what April looks like. With my wrist in a cast (carpal boss surgery) and fingers the size of small countries, shooting and typing is not the easiest right now. (Thankfully, I shoot daily!).
Enjoy!
now head over to the seriously talented Summer Murdock | Salt Lake City Lifestyle Photographer to see her post.

I love this family. They have the sweetest (and cutest) boys ever. I’ve shot them three times now and every time I just enjoy it and them so much. Gus, little man Heintz #3, made his way into the world and I was lucky enough to get to record him at nine days old. Thanks for the privilege, Heintz family. He’s amazing.

So, this session rocked in many ways. I am a list maker by nature, so I will list all the awesome reasons I loved this session.
1. Barron was super cute and super happy.
2. I got to shoot in my studio (and out). And I love getting to do both.
3. Barron’s dad (Barry) and I went to high school in NJ together and it was awesome to see him and meet his family.
4. In love, happy couples (and kids) always make for great pictures.

Thanks so much to Joshua Zello Photography for hosting this giveaway…all details are below!
Who doesn’t love those?
Seriously, I am pretty sure (fully sure) this class is going to rock. Hard. Like Foo Fighters hard. And who doesn’t love the Foo Fighters? (okay, totally different post, but I digress…)
Back to the class (and giveaway). Okay, Big Picture Classes is an amazing online community that asked me to participate in a workshop that they were creating. It would be an online class (done in your own time) with 6 different photographers with assignments, participation, feedback, all that good stuff.
As soon as I saw the other names (wow!), I signed on. Serious talent there. I didn’t want to look like a fool, so I buckled my booty down and wrote some (I think) great assignments, tips, tricks and videos. I cover all different kinds of things from location scouting like a boss, to editing black and whites that make you fall over, to the best way to fool everyone you know into thinking you have a studio.

One of my first full studio sessions and I have to say, I LOVE IT!
Well, gorgeous, fun, sweet kids make it so much easier, of course. The studio and the Gartlands rock. It is official.

Well, I actually had some willing participants this time around….my brother, sister in law and nephew came into town to visit from Grand Junction, CO for the weekend. (Have you ever been?? SO nice there…love it!).
Well, Stephen, Rebecca and Matteo were kind enough to let me shoot, shoot and shoot. Loved it. Love them.
And here’s my selfie…with the rest of the family…well, almost…
Do yourselves a favor and head on over to the uber talented Leah Robinson’s 11 on 11.

Okay, so I missed the deadline to get into the blog circle, due to three cases of strep (me included) that invaded our house as of yesterday. Blerg.
****Not so fast…those amazing ladies over at What ____ Looks Like Headquarters allowed this late entry. Go check out Brenda’s always AMAZING work…
But, I really wanted to participate this month….since my new in the basement studio was finished just a few short weeks ago…and to be honest, is not fully done. (Still waiting on the shark head to hang on the wall from Urban Outfitters. You know no studio is ever done until there’s a plastic shark head on the wall).
So, here’s What My New Studio Looks Like.
(Working on a post of how it actually looks inside…not just the kinds of shots I can take in there shortly!)

Downtown Roswell with two awesome kids (and adults) on spring break? Sign me up.
Gorgeous day, happy and full of personality kids, up for anything adults and fresh hot chocolate when we finished. Pretty sweet job I have.
