When you have a little girl as adorable as this, in my opinion, there's no way life could get any better. I've known her parents since we were a bunch of wild, crazy teenagers, and I absolutely LOVE seeing what they've done with their life together, from a very successful and classy restaurant and wine bar, to this amazingly beautiful little girl, and it's no secret that she makes their world spin!</div>

We held this session on location at their business, PV's Uncorked on Main in Pocatello, Idaho. I couldn't have been more honored to be their chosen photographer!</div>

She was so happy, and so smiley, and so photogenic, and completely ready to rock the camera! 1-year old cake smashes are probably one of my most favorite sessions... no bars held!

I stand all amazed as I've watched their transformation as well as their desire to serve a mission and serve the Lord. I'll admit, years ago (I guess when I was young and close-minded), I was always questionable when it came to young men going on missions - graduating high school, barely starting college, and then just dropping life to go on a mission for 2 years. Last year I had missionaries in my home twice a week as my 13 year old daughter started to learn more so that she could be baptized. Following that, I was there as a son of some close family friends opened his mission call, after that, I was there as a son of more family friends returned home from his mission, and then just a little over a week ago, I was also there as yet another son of more friends had his farewell. I would be lying if I said that my heart wasn't full as I experienced these different events. The most recent farewell left me smiling inside, listening to this young man as he revealed some very personal & spiritual experiences he'd had. Needless to say, I'm no longer close-minded. I now know the courage that it takes to leave your family for 2 years, and I've witnessed the anticipation and the tears of happiness, both from the missionaries and their families. I admire these young men and the sacrifices that they make,not only that, but also the strong testimonies that they hold. This young man that I spent just a short time with last night also holds those same attributes. I last saw him in the fall time when taking pictures of his family, and I cannot believe how much he's changed, but of course all for the better (not saying that he was never good). It was obvious how much thought & mental preparation he'd been putting into serving his mission. I wish you the very best of luck, Dallin. The people of Chile are going to be so very blessed to have you there.<br />

This was one of my favorite shoots EVER! Not to mention, the most calorie-burning shoots! This senior loves to hike and has a favorite area where she hikes, and we found it appropriate to of course shoot her senior pictures, that are suppose to be all about her, in her little piece of heaven on earth. So off we went, fall colors at their best along with her amazing hair color to set it off. She has that "look" that made capturing all her beauty with its surroundings so easy. I haven't been hiking in many years, but now I know why she loves to hike this trailhead, and I too, felt the peace that this area offers. Thanks, Alaynia, for an amazing afternoon!iCandy Photography and Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14574113173471314280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378124054761223479.post-4063945774351782412012-08-01T19:12:00.001-06:002012-08-01T19:12:48.384-06:00aaliyah's baptism...<div style="text-align: justify;">
My 12 year old daughter, Aaliyah, is absolutely amazing! She's so smart, bright, creative, and just a character of her own! On the 21st of July, she got baptized. This was a choice that she completely made all on her own. My husband and I try to lead our children onto the straight and narrow path but we also allow them some room to think on their own - and getting baptized is one of the those things that I feel that should be chosen and not forced, and not until you fully understand the true meaning of baptism and have gained a testimony in what you believe. Sitting with Aaliyah as she went through the discussions, I knew that she was absorbing everything that she was being taught, and that she truly understood it and also believed it. During her first discussion as the missionaries gave a quick explanation of how it would work and what the meaning of faith was, there was a moment of silence, and then she pointed at the poor innocent boys sitting on our couch and said, "I've got faith in you guys, so you better not lie to me!" DONE DEAL! The meaning of faith was fully understood by her! I quickly laughed so that they could put their eyeballs back in their heads and laugh with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the most special things about her baptism is that my brother, Brady, baptized her and he and his family drove all the way from Montana to be here. She chose my brother, Carter, to confirm her, and he and his family came from my hometown in Idaho. And of course my mom was here, and we even left a seat open between me and Aaliyah for my dad. It's been a long time since we have all been together as a family and have been able to sit around a table and talk and laugh and even tear up - that day after the baptism we were able to do just that at my house. I never wanted the day to end. It was an amazing day, for all of us. We have so many wonderful friends and neighbors who gave Aaliyah so much support and love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The night before the baptism, we scurried off and took her "baptism pictures." Here are a few of my favorite, but you can see the rest of them on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.364327153640979.80395.128039370603093&type=1" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>.</div>

<br />
So real quickly - here's my story of where dimes started to play a significant part in my life.<br />
<br />
First off, I had a friend who had lost her dad and when we knew that we were losing my dad, she said, "TELL HIM TO LEAVE YOU DIMES!" Of course my reaction was one that closely resembled a bitter-beer face because I simply just didn't get it. So she told me her story of asking her dad to leave her dimes right before he passed away, and sure enough, since his passing, she consistently finds dimes. It sounded a little far-fetched but her story was amazing, but I was thinking to myself, "Screw that! I'm gonna ask my dad to leave me quarters, maybe even Sacajewea coins!"<br />
<br />
So the time came, I had come from Utah to Idaho to spend the last moments of my dad's life here on earth with him. I would have given anything in the world for the weekend to have never ended and to be able to lay by him in bed holding his hand with my head on his fragile shoulder for at least another trillion hours. Of course that wasn't possible. So when we were leaving that night and were saying our byes (I never say goodbyes - that means it's forever), I looked him right in the eye and said, "Dad, please leave me dimes." And for anyone that knew my dad, you can imagine the look on his face, since he was never one to believe in silly little meaningful things like that. And he said, "what?" I said, "dimes - please leave me a dime when I need you most, when I'm having a bad day or just when I know that you've stopped by to check on me." He gave me a questionable "ok." According to the doctors, he still should've had another 2 weeks to live, but 2 days later we lost him. When we did, I was in the middle of moving, cleaning out cupboards and drawers, and that week before his funeral, of course I found tacks and screws and broken crayons and stale cheerios but I also found dimes tucked far back in a corner of a drawer in a dark cupboard. Sure, they could've been dimes of ours that we'd dropped but I chose (and still do) to believe they were the dimes that my dad was leaving me. He got it! As stupid as the idea was - he got it! And he quickly came to my rescue and helped me build faith in something and to know that he really was there.<br />
<br />
Since then, I find dimes in the most random places and at the most random times. As for around my house, when I find them I leave them there as long as they're in a spot where they're safe. But I also have my collection (but it's not all of them). I nearly have a dime in every room of my house!<br />
<br />
This dime is in the window seal in my dining room. A couple of months ago I found it in the corner of my dining room below this window, instead of picking it up and putting it in my pocket I decided to place it in that window since I go there so often to open the window.<br />

This dime is in between my washer and dryer. Yes, the floor is filthy between there but so is yours! Is it really possible to ever keep that area clean??</div>

This dime is inside of my washer. Yes, chances are that it fell out of a pocket when I was doing laundry, but it was there, all by itself, and that's where it's going to remain.</div>

One of the most photogenic people I have ran across, especially for a teenage boy! He's cute, funny, whitty, and a complete charmer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
When we moved to Alpine, I kept hearing about another lady that was also from Blackfoot, Idaho and finally I found out who it was... It was Cody's mom, Jennifer! I did know her, but she was closer to my brother's age, so I didn't know her "personally," but since then, I've been so lucky to have gotten to know her as well as form a bond and friendship with her. So Jennifer called me just needing a "couple shots" of Cody for his announcements. Well, once I started going through the pictures, I found it extremely hard to narrow down to just a few - he has such a natural yet eye-catching look to him. None-the-less, we had fun and he made me laugh. Once again.... another moment of me lucking out with a fabulous person on the other end of my lens!</div>

In that year, I've learned SO much... not just about being a photographer, but also about being home daily taking care of my family and being my own boss (other than getting bossed around by my family!) I've had amazing clients and lots of trials and errors through my journey of being a self-taught photographer (but also with the help of my amazing photographer sister-in-law, Ang). In celebration, I'm giving away one family session to the most deserving family.<br />
<br />
Everyone would love a free session, but this time I want this session to go to a family who could really use and deserves it. A family who's been going through some struggles, either financially, because of health, or maybe even tragedy.<br />
<br />
So what I need from you guys is to let me know what family out there deserves this free session. But I don't just want some names thrown at me, I want to hear all about it... and yes, in the form of an essay, so to speak. Please email me letting me know all the details. After I've received these emails, I will go over each and every one of them very closely, and with the help of others, I will choose the family who I will give this free session to.<br />
<br />
Beginning today, April 18th, I will start accepting emails. You'll have through May 2nd to tell me their story and then the winner will be announced Saturday, May 5th.<br />
<br />
Please limit the family to either the Southeast Idaho or Salt Lake Valley area (including Utah county).<br />
<br />
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me - phone, email, or Facebook.<br />
<br />
Here's the email address to send your nominations: micah@icandymadeyousmile.com<br />
<br />
Thank you to everyone for your continued support and all the kind words and compliments that you've given me throughout my first year in business. Here's to many, many more years to come!iCandy Photography and Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14574113173471314280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378124054761223479.post-72480152360570309422012-03-30T16:08:00.000-06:002012-03-30T16:08:23.493-06:00{ elyn } | historic townsite senior shoot<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got to spend a very windy afternoon with this high school senior, Elyn - what a doll!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The day didn't start off so swell because I misjudged my driving time to Bancroft, ID and really had no idea that it was literally in the middle of nowhere! So I was late and then to top it off, the wind blows really hard in the middle of nowhere! We definitely got our exercise in for the day running around from building to building trying to get away from the shifting wind! Elyn chose to have her session in the Chesterfield Historic Town Site and it was an absolutely amazing place - I did a little rummaging & found some pretty cool stuff!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out all this cool stuff that was inside one old shed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(plus the pretty girl sittin' in the middle of it all).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The old sheds & buildings were endless & on each side of them was something new - like this wagon - I was STOKED when I came around the corner and laid my eyes on it!</div>

Cute, huh? I've known Chelsea since she was just a little tyke! I absolutely adore she & her family! Well I guess that even lil' tykes grow up and she has and now she's getting married! The lucky man is Nassri, who is just an absolute hoot! He'd been sick for a couple of weeks but was a pretty stinkin' good sport during this shoot - even at the end of the shoot when he got a ticket from the good ol' fish and game for having live bait on his hook (restricted in this area) even though he was fake fishing just for the shoot! Grrrrr...... </div>

Chelsea comes from a "fishing" family & Nas loves it too, so they wanted to do their shoot on the dock below the American Falls dam, which happens to be one of their fishin' spots.</div>

Chelsea had this fabulous idea to hang her ring from a fishin' hook, so she & I took off to the edge of the water (while the fish 'n game guy wrote Nas a citation) and put her idea into play. I think we accomplished it!</div>

The day before, we had her birthday party at our house, and I'm so blessed to be sitting here today, because it really did cross my mind that I just might not survive the day - but we had a blast, and every single one of her friends are absolutely fabulous & sweet!<br />
<br />
We've had so much going on in our lives the past month or so that all of a sudden it was the Tuesday before her birthday and not only had I not started birthday shopping for her I hadn't started to even THINK about a birthday party and now I was going to have to throw all of this together in just 4 days! Knowing that Aaliyah is pretty darn girly, I knew that all of her friends had to be pretty close to the same way so I decided to totally take advantage of all that girlyness (this word is not in the dictionary) and do girly things. So I threw out the whole spa day idea to Aaliyah and she approved (yay!) and then we decided to twist it a little and have them come in their pj's (why not add relaxation to relaxation??) & then we also decided to let them get all goofy at the end for the camera.<br />

The Baldwin home was definitely no 5-star spa, but I think the party was a success! The birthday girl helped do all the work & pampered her friends, so the next day she got to relax and soak her feet, get her hands & feet massaged & have her very own facial. It's so hard being a girl and it never does get easier, so why not just have fun being one and make the very best of it!</div>

Spring is absolutely my most favorite time of the year and I just love being outside and watching all things come back to life, plus there's just something so blissful about the smell of Spring. Children are another thing that seem to come back to life after a long and dreary winter all cooped-up inside, which is what makes these sessions that much better! I'll be capturing all of that excitement & fun which gives you another memory for life! Here's more details... (click on picture to make it bigger)<br />

I hope that you guys are excited as I am. To book your session, please call me at (801) 651-6990. As mentioned above, you'll need to pay for your session fee in order to reserve your spot, which will require you to have a Paypal account, but it's easy - I send you an invoice requesting the fee, you pay with nearly just one click & you're on my schedule! Once I've posted your images in the online gallery, you'll have one week to order a print package at 20% off - what a heck of a deal! And these are real true professional prints with the best quality that last a lifetime and then some! Plus, Easter is coming up and there's no better gift for a grandparent than pictures of their grandkids! That's been our gift to my grandma for the past 15 years and she lights up every time!</div>

because I'm a good photographer but because there's just some real</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">When out and about, people ask me how old she is and when I tell them they give a surprised reaction and say that she's so big for her age! Honestly, it offends me - if she was a boy, maybe not - but no matter the age, it's just never ever right to call a girl "big!" But then I started thinking about it and I really do believe that people think that she is older and their first instinct for an explanation is, "she's big," but really, I think it's the "big" hair that makes her seem older since it's not as common for babies her age to have hair like this - but I'm not complaining... yet! My 11 year old, Aaliyah, had the exact same hair at this age, but even thicker! And today the hair is still there but her love for it is not. Yes, it's true, girls are never happy with what they have but that's what makes us so interesting with never a dull moment - and my girls are solid proof of just that!!</span></div>iCandy Photography and Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14574113173471314280noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378124054761223479.post-54443230151547278202012-01-14T15:07:00.003-07:002012-01-14T20:23:07.877-07:00I Wanna Be a Cowboy....No, seriously - I wish I'd been raised on a ranch full of horses and cattle. Meet Trey & CheriDawn Overdorf... Blackfoot, Idaho's finest cowboys. And by the way, I think Tre's tractor's sexy (inside joke)!

My first year of iCandy went by so fast, yet I also decided to have a baby all in the mix of it too. Even though 2011 seemed to fly by, it was an amazing and memorable year for me! Looking forward to an even better 2012!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

The winner of the contest, along with their choice of any friend or family member, will each receive 50% OFF a regularly priced photo session (excludes packages & weddings), PLUS... each person that voted on the winning picture will receive $25 off a photo session over $100.<br />

View all the pictures and then "LIKE" your favorite picture!

On our way out, we stopped to see grandpa, Chevee's never visited his grave site. It's not the ideal place to have to go have a little chat with your grandpa or dad, but visiting is a must, and I actually enjoy it and surprisingly enough, it brings me peace.<br />
<br />
These first pictures are Aaliyah showing Chevee the engraved picture of grandma and grandpa.<br />

Kinda seems weird that I'm having my girls pose in front of a headstone, but it doesn't bother me, and under the circumstances, I don't think it's all that weird. Plus! My mom spent some good money on that headstone - may as well show it off!<br />

Aaliyah decided they should lay with grandpa - seems as if it's more like laying ON grandpa!<br />

He looked at me very strangely, gave me a little smirk and said ok. And to this day, I don't find pennies, I find dimes - I'm not kidding either! When we visited in March, I left him one of the dimes he'd left me - it's still there.<br />

Well... today it's been three years since I started my hobby of finding dimes, meaning it's been three years since he passed away. I wasn't there to hold his hand as he took off to his new adventure (as Carter puts it) of engineering the hell outta heaven! That would have to come first before he took on any other assignments, or he would just be a complete wreck! They say in Heaven you're suppose to be at peace with so much happiness, but I truly don't believe he would be if there was even one little white picket fence that had a little tilt to it - I'm sure St. Peter handed him his tool belt right as he walked through those pearly gates!<br />

Well pops - we love ya and we just miss you more and more with every passing day but we know that you're not too far away and that you're keeping tabs on us - though I'd prefer having you here instead.iCandy Photography and Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14574113173471314280noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378124054761223479.post-72908258356549815102011-09-20T12:23:00.001-06:002011-09-22T11:02:35.358-06:00{ happy birthday } to our BRAYLINToday is my nephew's birthday! His name is Braylin and he is 4 YEARS OLD! He's my most favorite little boy in the whole wide world and he just tugs on my heart strings just thinking about him, let alone when I look at his big blue eyes! Take a look!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sBIPbJYF0AU/TnjUSvuSTDI/AAAAAAAAAKg/jMAaQUMeHqY/s1600/DSC_2268-strlt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sBIPbJYF0AU/TnjUSvuSTDI/AAAAAAAAAKg/jMAaQUMeHqY/s400/DSC_2268-strlt.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>To those of you out there that have never truly thought about just how special adoption is, maybe after reading this, you'll know. My brother, Carter, and his wife, Angela, were finally ready to start their family and tried for many years to do so. After several failed attempts they turned to adoption. Not far away, was a young, scared pregnant mother, though she came from a very wonderful and supportive family, she knew that giving her baby up for adoption was the right thing to do - she chose Carter and Ang to take her sweet baby boy into their lives and give him what she couldn't at that point & time in her life. And, of course, Carter & Ang did just that, with fully open arms giving more love than one knew what to do with! Braylin was born in Logan, UT but he and Ang had to wait a few days before they could go back to Idaho, so lucky us - we got to spend time with them and watch Ang give all that love to him - I've never seen anyone glow as much as she. You could see the amazement in her eyes as she looked deep into his and it was an experience that I'll never forget. Adoption is so very special and I really don't think that every one of those birth mothers out there know just how happy they make families and how special they are and how grateful those families are for their selflessness.<br />
<br />
Here's more pictures of Braylin from over the summer - he's so full of life, I could hardly keep up to get some shots of him!<br />

And then shortly after Braylin, another miracle came to be... Ang got pregnant!! And just days before that next Christmas, we were blessed with Adilee, which is a mini-me of Ang!<br />

I know that these 2 little cutie-patooties are most definitely keeping Carter and Ang young, but boy! Are they oh so worth it! And even though Braylin and Adilee will have their little spiffs, they're still the best of friends!<br />

Grandma Hazel is my dad's mom and she lives in an assisted living home in Blackfoot and has been there for a few years. Her memory isn't too healthy and for the most part can only remember things from long ago. She can tell all kinds of stories from when she was a little girl - it's truly amazing as well as entertaining to listen to her.<br />
<br />
I went to visit her when I was pregnant (very pregnant & showing) and she was very surprised & excited to see that I was, but I knew that she wouldn't remember. Showing up with Chevee was a complete surprise to her and oh so exciting. She was perma-grinned and just couldn't quit staring at her - it was truly a heart-touching moment!<br />

Grandma Hazel is very special to us. When my dad passed away almost 3 years ago, because of her struggling memory, we were so worried that she would forget that she had lost her only son and that it would be similar to "50 First Dates" and that she would have to continuously relive the news each day; but to our surprise, that was one recent memory that she held onto for longer than just a few minutes. I would go visit her, and in her tiny apartment, she would be rocking in her rocking chair and next to her would be a little table with a lamp and a picture of my dad, the picture being turned and facing her, and she would be rocking and staring at the picture - it never failed, I would instantly tear up and then embrace her in my arms as she would start to cry too and tell me thank you, thank you for coming. Unfortunately, in the last year, her memory hasn't been able to hold on to the passing of my dad and when my mom visits, she asks about Ed.<br />
<br />
I get so much joy from visiting her and taking my kids to see her so that she can remember, at least just for a moment, that she has a family that loves her. When she met Chevee it was all OOHS and AHHHS and then the question, "what does Ed think about her? She's just so beautiful, I bet she's got him wrapped around his finger," and I just smiled as a tear rolled down my cheek.<br />
<br />
She just couldn't get over Chevee's hands - she was so amazed at how tiny they were, she hadn't held a baby for so many years.<br />

Notice her cute & colorful polka-dotted nails. When I visited a different time, they were all done up too - "tween style" and I complimented them, because it really is so cute! She said that girls come to the facility and paint all the lady's nails for them... that only made sense. My grandma was always so proud of her nails; I remember as a little girl she would always show me how long they had gotten and how strong they were because of a certain strengthening clear nail polish she would use on them.<br />
<br />
We're amazed that Grandma Hazel is still with us and I just pray that she feels no pain every day and that she doesn't get her feelings hurt because Ed doesn't come to visit. We love you Grandma Hazel!iCandy Photography and Designhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14574113173471314280noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378124054761223479.post-39689231912332734802011-09-16T10:31:00.001-06:002011-09-16T10:33:53.765-06:00GIFT CERTIFICATES ARE HERE!!Guess what I finally have??? Just in time for (I really hate saying this word in September) the Holidays (ouch!), iCandy now has gift certificates for sale to be applied towards photo shoots, prints, or a design; and they can be any amount you want!<br />
<br />
I sometimes tend to go a little overboard, and with these I think I may have, but just a little :). I love colors, all colors and I couldn't choose just one color for the certificates, so I chose lots of colors so that you can have a choice too - though I doubt anyone will truly care - but just in case... I got your back!<br />
<br />
So you know that there's always that hard to buy for person (or family or couple) or you just need a last minute wedding gift or you know of someone who hasn't had family pictures taken in a very long time and just needs a little nudge... think about it - I know you know SOMEONE that could benefit!! Well when you're ready, so are these gift certificates! If needed, you can just pay through PayPal and I can mail them to you unless you're up for a beautiful scenic drive to Alpine!!<br />

Yep! That's right! It's time for another photo contest so I can make someone happy! The theme for this contest is "IN LOVE." I know, I know, it's not Valentine's Day but September is when my husband & I started dating 16 years ago and on September 20 in 2003 is when we finally tied the knot! So in honor of all the LOVE, I decided it would be fun for the contest to be all about it.<br />
<br />
Pictures I'm looking for will based all around love, showing expressions of love. So it doesn't just have to be you and your husband/boyfriend, it could anything that is showing love. Children, pets, nature, family, etc. You get the idea, right??<br />
<br />
The prize this time? The winner will receive 50% OFF any photo session PLUS a FREE portrait package (one image from your shoot professionally printed) which is (1) 8x10, (2)5 x7, (4) 4x6 and 8 minis.<br />
<br />
One thing I have to remind all of my friends & fans of is that I am based out of Utah County and conduct business there and in Salt Lake County. But for those of you outside of these areas, please feel free to enter but please remember that if you win, I'm not able to travel to your area specifically for your photo shoot; but if I happen to be in the area, I will, of course, make time for your shoot - other than that, the shoot would need to be held local to me. Sorry!<br />
<br />
So get your picture in, you have until Monday, Sept. 19. All entries will be posted on Sept. 20 and the voting can begin, but it will be up to you to get as many votes as you can by consistently posting to your wall words of encouragement to your friends to first "LIKE" iCandy, and then second, "LIKE" your picture to count as one vote. This time, I'm not going to allow comments to count as votes - ONLY LIKES... it just gets way too confusing. Your friends are more than welcome to comment on your picture, but please make sure and let them know that their comment will NOT be counted as a vote. I'm an easy & simple person so I needed to simplify the voting.<br />
<br />
Okay, friends... let's get this started. It's that time of year for Family pictures for Christmas cards and I know 50% off a session would be Christmas early for a lot of you!!!<br />
