Hi I'm Denise



Hi Everyone! Thanks for coming to look at my blog. It always seems like I am trying to play catch up here because this is always the last place I come to update. But maybe now with a little help I will be able to keep up with this.

A little about me, I have been doing photography for a very very long time. It has been my secret love for many many years but with some encouragement from my family and FRIENDS, I made it official and created Denise Rudd Photography. With their help and God's blessing it has been wonderful. I am very thankful for the talent that God has given me.

A little about my family. I have a wonderful husband Brad, that I will be married to 20 years in July. My high school sweetheart..that still means the world to me. I also have three wonderful kids. Kaylee is the one that drives me crazy, but also keeps me sane.. What more could you ask for from a graduated 18 year old daughter. Then Nathan is my baby.. Well he will always be my baby even though he will be a junior and is 16. He's the one that keeps me busy running from one sporting even to another. But I wouldn't have it any other way. And last is Jesse. He's the Big Kid God blessed us with 5 years ago. He will be 21 soon and well we couldn't be more proud of him.

Well I guess that is it. Hope you enjoy your visit and come back and visit often!

My Oldest is going to be 16 =(

Gosh I can't believe it!!
Miss Kaylee Allison "My Mija" will be turning 16 in May and I can't believe it.. Time has flown by... Makes me sad that her and Nate are growing up so fast!! :(
Well I had been needing to take pictures of her for her invitations. Because for some crazy reason we are throwing her a "Sweet 16" lol.. So for her invitations she wants her pictures on them. So I had some time yesterday and took a few and will have to go out today and do some more. She only wants to change a hundred times.. lol..
But it was so fun.. Kaylee if you don't know her she can be really shy "well until she gets to know you" but she loves to take pictures but as long as no one is driving by or watching.. lol.. So it was so funny being out her in Slaton taking pictures but if somebody drove by or anything she would run to the car because she didn't want anyone to see her. lol. It was hilarious.. But here are a couple of my favorites. I had a whole bunch of favorites but can't put them all on here..

McCord Family Again

These girls are amazing.. And ........I had been wanting to take some baby pictures!!! So sweet!! =]

Al and Mary Solis's Grandkids

I am finally catching up some! ;) or at least on the blogging.. lol.. But hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!
These beautiful kids are my Uncle Al and Aunt Mary's Grandkids. We took these last sunday.. They were suppose to be done outiside but we woke up and it was freezing and with having the lil ones we didn't want to risk them getting sick so instead we all meet at Al and Mary's house, moved furniture and started snapping. The kids did GREAT with having so many to try to make smile, look and just stay still!! It was hilarious.. At one point we even had Dora the Explorer in the pictures. lol.. Got to love her... But after it was all said and done we got all the pictures Mary wanted. AND I got treated to some HOMEMADE Tortillas (gosh I miss my grandma), and good good breakfast.... It was the Best!! Thank you Thank you!!!
Hope you enjoy! This is Bre, Mad, J, Elijah, Michael, Mallory, Jazzie, Gabriel, Tally, Ally
