'little cale "reese's pieces" hurst'

Cale Rees Hurst. 6 pounds, 3 ounces, and 18 inches of absolute stud. This kid is a mess of crazy blonde hair and big hazel eyes. Hands down, the quietest shoot I've ever done: definitely the recipient of the "least amount of whining during a photo session" award... and that's saying something. [Sierra & Dylan! Stephen & Sidnee! Annie & Rusty!(and I don't want to hear arguments... you named my reflector the shade of death... :)]
Thanks to his sweet, patient mother Jill for putting up with all the sprays and squirts.... Welcome to parenthood. :) Thanks to his strong, hero of a fire fighter dad Clint for the tender helmet shots. Cale is the greatest addition to their already beautiful family. I hope you treasure these shots for a long time to come.

That about does it.

I see pictures in everything that I do. I can't turn it off. Even when I put my camera down, I’m notoriously more concerned with whether it would “photograph well” rather than its other practical uses or beauty. It’s a curs-ing. But, to me, it’s as natural as breathing. I crave it. I feel so blessed to do what I love and what inspires me. I love what I do, and I do what I love. Which is life, of course.

I love the response of life to my sense of touch. Though many might guess sight would be my favorite sense… to me, there isn’t one without the other… or the other... or the other. My passion is to experience life with all my God given senses. And well, my craft of photographic inspiration?… let’s just call it my sixth.

I'm constantly growing: growing in my knowledge of photography, growing in life, and growing in my relationship with my Savior. I find every joy in capturing the response of others to the stimulation of their senses. It is an unending mystery and adventure for me to see how everyone experiences life so differently. Life is fuller as we experience it with sound, taste, smells, textures, and sight. My passion is creating photography that breathes it.

Specifically… it’s laughter. A simple, child-like smile. The mystery in someone’s eyes. The humble tear of an un-expecting groom. Sunlight. Love’s embrace….

So. Burst out into laughter. Then laugh… until you cry. Live. Breathe. Enjoy the moment. And then let me be there to bottle it up, and let it live.

Life is after all what you make it, and, well, mine tastes pretty sweet.
