It's been a while since I have been on the blogger train . . . things are just too busy at the studio these days! And I know I cannot complain about that! I post most of my portraits on my facebook page, so if any of you are interested, you should follow me there! Just look for 'Sweet Grace Photography'. Pretty simple :)

But in the meantime, here are some portraits of my dear friend's adorable children for you to enjoy. I had so much fun doing this session. All of the portraits were taken in the comfort of her own home, so the kiddos were totally in their element. And I can't help but love the soft, beautiful look of natural light!

Thank you, my dear, dear friend! It was an absolute pleasure spending the afternoon with you and your sweet kiddos! xoxo.

This adorable little boy and girl will melt anybody's heart.

Watch for more of this sweet family as another session is on it's way . . .

This little family is ridiculously cute, I know. Maybe that is because this is my beautiful sister's family :)

Despite the horribly ominous clouds, crazy mosquitos, and a few rain drops, we got some pretty great shots.

SO SWEET. Honestly, what more can I say???

a family i LOVE...

2009-01-19T09:09:00.000-08:00

This is my AMAZING sister and her sweet little family...oh how I love them!

I was lucky enough to get to spend Christmas with them this year. Kim decided since they are the "California Family" in our family, that it was most appropriate for her to have a family portrait on the beach. It was my first experience photographing on the beach...and it's actually kinda tricky! There was a short window of time that the light was exactly how I wanted it and just how I had imagined it to be in the image. I'd say it worked out pretty good. And it sure helps that the subject is about as cute as they come....

xoxo. Love you guys.

Cute, cute, cute.

It's almost ridiculous how many adorable children there are out there...and I am lucky enough to photograph so many of them! This little man is definitely no exception. It was a piece of cake to get him to smile and laugh! And as you can tell, his parents don't love him at all ;-).

I loved, loved, LOVED spending time with you guys yesterday. It was such a treat!

xoxo.

Easy to Adore.

2008-12-19T11:05:00.000-08:00

Meet sweet baby Aiden. How can you not instantly adore him? Look at those eyes!

I really do adore this little guy...and his amazing mother!

I loved spending part of my morning with both of you. You are an amazing mom, girl! That little guys is so lucky to have you!

xoxo.

2008-12-18T14:30:00.000-08:00

Love these kidlets.

If you want to know the truth...they are my boss's kids...and I really do love them! They share their cookies and candy with me, so why wouldn't I love them ;) ???

Great kids (not to mention kids that pose so perfectly for the camera!), good weather, and a beautiful drive to the moutains always makes for a great afternoon!

Love This Baby Face.

2008-12-12T16:03:00.000-08:00

Look at that baby face...I FELL IN LOVE with her the second I met her :)

Thanks for spending another afternoon with me you guys. I always have a wonderful time with you!

xoxoxxo.

So Sweet...

2008-12-05T15:55:00.001-08:00

I loved photographing this adorable little family! Mom and Dad are totally in love with each other and maybe even a little more in love with their beautiful new baby girl :). It was so fun to work with them...it was an absolute delight capturing the magic that so naturally happened between the three of them!

Thanks so much for spending the afternoon with me guys! You are a GREAT family in the making :)!

Sweet "P" Family

2008-12-02T09:20:00.001-08:00

Wow, it has been way too long since I have posted...it seems as though the Thanksgiving holiday got the best of me and pushed me a little behind. But, I'm back with lots of fun pictures to post from the break!

So, let's get started with this most adorable family. I had so much fun photographing them last Saturday! A beautiful mom, the sweetest dad, and a little girl that anybody would wish was theirs! I absolutely loved the location and can't wait to go back in the spring! You are brilliant, Mary!

The "M" Family

2008-11-20T16:47:00.000-08:00

I had so much fun with this family the other day! They were up for anything and ready to go anywhere! I'm pretty sure I found a new little friend in the adorable little girl, and their 6 month old boy...a perfect angel! I don't think I saw or heard one sad face out of this little guy.

Thanks so much guys. It was great to see you again!

A gift to you from me...

2008-11-19T16:31:00.000-08:00

Let me help you spread a little holiday cheer to your friends and family one of two ways. From now until the end of January, with a purchase of $350 in product, I will give you 25 COMPLIMENTARY, custom designed, holiday greeting cards. OR, if you refer a friend or family member to me, I will do the same. Or just do both and you can get 50 free cards to show off that adorable family of yours this holiday season!

Consider it my gift to you :-)

LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN!!!

A little girl this cute...

2008-11-19T14:40:00.000-08:00

...deserves her very own post!

I'm pretty sure this sweet little thing is the ring leader of the family right now :-)

I had so much fun photographing little Bailey yesterday, that I couldn't help but dedicate a whole post to her cuteness. Once she warmed up to me, she was not afraid of the camera at all...and I loved it!

Stay tuned for more of this cute family...

This girl's having a baby...

2008-11-12T14:01:00.001-08:00

...right this very second!

I can't wait to meet the sweet little girl! I'm so happy and excited for both of you! CONGRATS!

xoxoxxo.

The "O" Family

2008-10-31T11:14:00.000-07:00

What fun I had photographing The "O" Family yesterday! All three of their kids were absolute dolls. And take a look at their little 8 year old beauty queen! She was to die for cute and the camera just couldn't seem to get enough of her :).

Thanks for letting me come to your home to photograph you! I love the personal touch it added to all of your photographs! Thanks for a great afternoon!

A Beautiful Bride

2008-10-29T15:45:00.000-07:00

This was a pretty fun photo shoot...Angie was beautiful and up for anything, the weather was perfect, and the lighting was amazing! You really can't ask for much more!

Good luck with the last couple of weeks before your wedding, Angie! You are gorgeous girl! We are looking forward to your big day!

The "H" Family

2008-10-29T15:05:00.000-07:00

Here is just a sneak peek of a sweet little family I photographed last week. This little boy was probably the best 7 year old poser I have ever met! The little man loved having his picture taken! And what a good big brother he is. His little sister was much too busy and much too interested in all the fun things around to be having her picture taken :), but her brother dove right in and tried his best to make it easy for her. So sweet...

Thanks for hanging out with me, "H" family! I hope you love your portraits!

A Long Awaited Day...

2008-10-29T14:45:00.000-07:00

What a great day this was! Despite the horrible rain and wind storms, in the end it turned out to be quite the magical day! They finally sealed the deal, they put on one great party, and there are even several beautiful photographs to prove it :)!

And last but not least....I had to put this picture on here :). I absolutely adore these 2 people...they are two of my dearest friends. How grateful I am that I was able to be such an intimate part of their most incredible day! Thanks, guys! I love you to pieces and am so excited for you two! You deserve all the happiness!

Sweet Baby "J"

2008-10-29T09:20:00.000-07:00

I just love this little guy and his momma! We photographed Baby J's mom and dad when she was 8 months pregnant with him, so we have had the opportunity of getting to know them a little bit...and they are great people!

We were actually able to go into their home for this photo shoot and use natural window light the entire session (which I LOVE!). We got so many beautiful images...and I simply can't get over how ridiculously cute this little guy is!

Mr. and Mrs. L

2008-10-28T10:34:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun photographing these guys on Friday! If I hadn't have been concerned about tiring out this beautiful 8 1/2 month pregnant momma, I could have kept going for hours! I loved the way so many of these images turned out...the reason there are so many images posted :)! I personally think this is one stunning momma-to-be.

Thank you so much for the awesome afternoon Mr. and Mrs. L! I can't wait for that baby to come out!

Sweet Grace

2008-10-27T15:15:00.000-07:00

Welcome, welcome to Sweet Grace Photography, a division of Cazier Photography. My name is Cindy Bigelow, the primary photographer and designer and I am SO excited for the launch of Sweet Grace.

I absolutely LOVE photography...especially unique portrait photography. I love spending time with individuals, couples, and families and taking on the challenge of capturing who they are and who and/or what they love most in a still image. There is a kind of emotion and power in photography that can't be found anywhere else. I hope when you look at my images, you feel both of these things.

I received a Bachelor's of Fine Art, with an emphasis in photography from Brigham Young University-Idaho in December of 2004. My experience at BYU-Idaho was extraordinary in every way. The things I learned there and the people I met...professors, friends, and roommates alike...have shaped me and my everyday actions.

We have been running ideas through our heads for Sweet Grace for months now...and I am thrilled it is finally here! I will be posting often, so be sure to check back whenever your little heart desires...I promise to make it worth your time!

If you love what you see here, please don't hesitate to contact me at cindy@cazierphotography.com or 208.409.8556 for information and prices. I can't wait to hear from you!
