Beebe Family • Rexburg Idaho Family Photographer

Did you ever have those people growing up that you just looked up to, and hoped you could become similar to them when you grew up??  That was Stephanie to me-- she was my Y.W.leader and I just adored her, so I was so excited to get to be able to take their family pictures!  I can't believe how much her kids have grown though- time flies so fast sometimes!

{One of the downsides of being a photographer is you fall in love with some pictures you take and would really like some of you and your hubby/family but alas your always behind the camera--*hint hint Dave-- I really really really would like some pictures of us :)* }

what to wear Wednesday • Vintage Fall Family • Red cream brown

One of the questions I am always asked when someone is booking a shoot is what to wear, And I admit it what you wear will set the stage for the mood of your pictures-- it's pretty important-- and so on Wednesdays I'm going to feature some outfits and clothing possibilities just to get the wheels churning.

 *ps I like clothes, we all like clothes, but don't let the clothing choices get you to stressed, dress your family in what they would be comfortable in and ready to play and have a good time-- cuz that is when you get the good pictures, when they are actually happy and feel good in what they are wearing :)

How to make a blog button • Tutorial

So long time no see-- I'm not afraid to admit it -- I've been a major slacker on the blog :) but now that I'm back and dedicated you'll see me a lot more-- you'll run away afraid screaming for some space :) but don't run just yet cuz' I made a button and we are so so so excited to see it huh :)

I actually might have made just a few buttons :)

 What can I say?? It was fun :) and I love the look of metal button pins :) 

anyways I thought it would be fun to make a button that people can grab and so of course I googled it and found this site and since it was for wordpress though  I had to figure out how to do it blogger style-- so here's my tutorial on it.

1- first off your gonna need to make yourself a button - I used photoshop and illustrator to make mine-- you need to make your document 150px by 150 px -- design it-make it- save it

2- The slightly tricky part-- so you need to have your image uploaded somewhere on the web where you can access it and really the easiest way to do this {if your not married to a computer nerd} is to make a blog post and put the button in it-- easy right--- after you do that post it and click on the image and it will take you to a separate page and you need to copy the website address at the top-- write it down-- save it-- you'll need it

3- now you need to get into your design page on your blog-- figure out where you want to put your button so others can grab it and click "add a gadget" add a new html/javascript gadget

when the box pops up you are going to need to add this code:

<img src=”YourButtonImageURL” alt=”YourSiteTitle” /><div style=”width: 150px; height: 150px; overflow: auto; border: 1px solid #666666;”>&lt;a href=&#34;YourSiteURL&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;YourButtonImageURL&#34; alt=&#34;YourSiteTitle&#34; width=&#34;150&#34; height=&#34;150&#34; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</div>



4- now you are going to need to customize it with your info anything that is highlighted you need to change

***** Note you need to make sure and retype the (") when you are doing it also otherwise it will not work***************
”YourButtonImageURL” is that crazy link I wanted you to save-- the pictures link
”YourSiteTitle” is well your site title :) site name-
YourSiteURL  is the url of your site like this site's url is http://bitsofblissphotography.blogspot.com if your on your homepage it will be displayed in your bar.
YourButtonImageURL this is that crazy link url of the picture again the one I had you save remember :)
YourSiteTitle once again your site title-- where this link is gonna take you

 so if say I was going to do it for this crazy picture I saved above I'll show you how the code would look

<img src=”https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnOYK9a0bMEAXfRMfU7mL0cHKLRKzIWgJ96BamjCQqXTq_uS11WmnkUUVDLB6sWgUlbu7RcPdGNYPY782w6MnSxOYH6Mtawbi4UB9da_4JYNOa7-0oLJNIJ2RiuIw7a0d5bzOGMitZEt31/s1600/Organization+tips.png” alt=”littlebitsofbliss” /><div style=”width: 150px; height: 150px; overflow: auto; border: 1px solid #666666;”>&lt;a href=&#34;http://littlebitsofbliss.blogspot.com&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34;&gt;&lt;img src=&#34;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnOYK9a0bMEAXfRMfU7mL0cHKLRKzIWgJ96BamjCQqXTq_uS11WmnkUUVDLB6sWgUlbu7RcPdGNYPY782w6MnSxOYH6Mtawbi4UB9da_4JYNOa7-0oLJNIJ2RiuIw7a0d5bzOGMitZEt31/s1600/Organization+tips.png&#34; alt=&#34;littlebitsofbliss&#34; width=&#34;150&#34; height=&#34;150&#34; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</div>


5- Save it and look at your blog--- If it didn't work-- try repasting the code-- making sure you've changed all the " in it (-hint there's six of them) and making sure your url's are correct.


Now your done Happy day and people can now copy the code to put your button on their blogs ect..


{ps. if you do this tutorial and make a button I'd love to see them-- send me a link in the comments :)}

Packer Family ● Family Photographer

I loved taking pictures for this family-- they are so much fun and their two little girls are adorable- (and I love that they are night and day from each other.)

This is one of my favorite pictures to date-- I just love the angle of it and them holding hands and the colors.

Both of the girls have such beautiful eyes--

Such a fun and relaxed family-- we can't wait to hang out with them again- and take some more pictures of their beautiful girls.

Nelson Family ● Family Photographer

We were so lucky to go and hang out with this family-- they are so energetic!
The kids were literally running circles around us all- and it was so much fun getting to know them all.

This picture reminds me of just the comfort of being married, loving each other and knowing each other through and through.

I love little R's beautiful eyes--she is sure a cutie.

Lounsbury Family ● Family Photographer

We were so lucky to do this shoot- It started raining like crazy right when we were going to start but luckily it cleared up enough to take some pictures- we had tons of fun and the rain just made all the colors so much deeper.

Their little boy was so cute- He had the deepest brown eyes- and was so happy the whole time- I loved taking pictures of him

As soon as we wanted to take some puddle shots with the umbrella the sun decided to come out and shine :)

We had such a fun time taking pictures with the Lounsbury fam-- Their little boy is so adorable, and they are just such a fun relaxed family.
Best of Luck to you guys in your move- If your ever around here again we'd love to take more pics for you guys.
