Hi Friends,
I'm sorry I haven't posted much. I have been meaning to tell you all about our winter vacation but so many exciting things have come up these past two weeks. All my time has been stolen.
Two weeks ago I applied for an internship with an incredible photographer, Scott Jarvie. He accepted me!! My nights have been dedicated to photography for the last week and will continue to be for the next 4 months. I have learned SO much! I feel confident that my own work will improve quickly and my own business will be established within the next six weeks. My first big shoot will be this wedensday morning. Scott and I will be shooting the Utah Symphony, Utah Opera and their CEO. How exciting!! And plenty more exciting shoots to come! I am honored to be working with Scott and very excited to learn from him!
I will try to post a little more but if I don't, you know why!

Happy New Year!
The first post of 2010! How exciting!
2009 was a fun year for us. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary; bought our first home; we did our first remodel in our home by fixing the upstairs bathroom; we welcomed our first puppy to the family, purchased a few fancy gadgets such as my first professional camera and a flat screen TV; Preston now works for Adobe who bought out Omniture and to end the year we were delighted to find out that we are expecting a new member of the family! ... no... not me, everyone knows that I wish it were me but I'm still ecstatic for my brother and sister in-law who are expecting their second baby boy! Hip Hip Hurray! I'm so excited to meet my new nephew in April :D
We really have been spoiled this last year. We have such a wonderful family who are so giving and selfless. We are eternally grateful for each and every one of them and love them all so much. Preston and I really have been blessed this last year and are very much in debt to our family and Heavenly Father.
Although 2009 was full of so many fun memories, experiences and stepping stones we are very anxious for the new and upcoming year. We have many things planned which we are looking forward to.
To start it off, I have planned to organize our blog a little more. We are splitting it into two separate blogs. One for our personal progress, events and achievements and another for my photography.
My new photography blog site is, http://karanilssonphotography.blogspot.com/
I'm still working on my new blog. There are a few things that need to be adjusted but hopefully I will be able to work out the kinks quickly.
I want all of you to know how much fun I have reading your blogs and I'm looking forward to reading everyone's new post's as 2010 progresses.

The Carpenters!
Hurray for Christmas Pictures! Our good friends asked if I would take some pictures of them for their Christmas card this year. At least I think that's what they said they were using them for haha. This has been my favorite shoot yet! It seems every shoot I learn so many new and different things to improve myself on and I think it's finally starting to pay off a little. I'm still no where near flawless and there are many more things I need to correct myself on before I acquire the competence I would like to have but in the mean time, I'm having a BLAST while learning and practicing!

The Nilsson Family
Over the Thanksgiving break, my sister in law asked if I would take a few photos of her family. I must say, I think I am the luckiest aunt in the world to have all of these incredibly adorable looking nieces and nephews. Good genes run in the Nilsson family.
This shoot was a little more difficult than the usual because it was noon and the sun was directly above us. It seemed as if they had to squint their eyes no matter which direction they were facing, however, I think we were still able to get a few good shots. Here are a some of my favorites...
