Taking a Break

To my wonderful family & friends,


Thank you for supporting and encouraging me to take photos!  It is an adventure being a photographer!  I have learned a lot, and I am continuing with my love of pictures, but at this time 
I am no longer booking appointments.


Thank you!  I love you all!

Valentine Cards

I decided to make my kids their own Valentine's Day cards.

I think they turned out so fun!  I love doing these kinds of projects!

-And aren't my kids little cutie pies?!  I Love You!

I'm definitely going to have to do this again next year.

Reese- Newborn Photos

My cousin, Catherine, has the sweetest family!  Her little Reese came early and had to be 

in the NICU for a while, so we are so thankful that she is here safe and sound.  

She is still so tiny!  I am so happy for you all!

  

Can't you just feel how much they cherish this little baby?  Lucky little girl! 

 I love these pictures!  Thanks for having me take them!  

-And sorry about your clothes, Cliff.  We knew it was a risk to get Reese's little bare bum...  

You're a good Dad to sacrifice like that...  :)

Mae's Blessing Dress

Little Mae is one of my very favorite models!  

She is wearing a one of a kind, specially made dress by her Grandma Joy.  

She is just precious!

Kristen & Zach's Family

I haven't been very good at updating my blog lately, and I have such cute pictures to post, too!

This family is so great to work with, you wouldn't even know we were all freezing!!

Thanks for being such good sports on a cold morning- You are a beautiful family!

Isn't he a little stud man??  Love it!  Check out his Newborn Pics, too!

Brynlee- 3 Years Old!

This little cutie makes me smile!  Isn't she so beautiful?

Happy Birthday, Brynlee!

Bountiful, Utah LDS Temple

I decided it was time to change up my room, and I wanted a new picture of the Bountiful, Utah LDS Temple.  Tim & I were married there 14 years ago (awww!).  My, how time flies!  So I packed up the kids one afternoon & decided to drive up there & get my own picture.  Tim was working late, and I wanted to surprise him for Christmas.  I got there just in time for such a beautiful sunset!

I love how it turned out!  I'm putting this over my stairway.

But I wanted something new & different for my room.  

A continuing landscape on three separate pictures. 

I was so excited how it changed my whole room, so I had to share!

 (Here's the closer up details that are hard to see in the frame reflections.)

Merry Christmas, Tim!  I love you!

Check out my new tab at the top for LDS Temples!

Mae is One Week Old!

My little angel niece is one week old.  Oh, she is just so sweet!  

She was very curious about the camera.  I love that look on her face!

 Their dog, Django, lays watch by the baby.  What a good boy!

 

Okay, so she doesn't like being naked.  That's a good thing, right??  We got a few pictures, but overall, she was not happy at all!  It's a good think she looks so perfect all snuggled up.

Mae, you are a very loved baby right from the very start!  

Tyson, Carson & Katelyn

This little guy is 6 months old already.  Doesn't he have the cutest little flirty smile?!  He is such a fun little boy- and lucky too, to have such a nice big brother & sister that clearly adore him!

 

Adam & Danielle have a baby!

I was so excited when my brother called this morning saying they were in the hospital having a baby!  I've been waiting for this call forever it seemed!  I asked how everything was going, and Adam said, "This is the best day of my life."  That just melts my heart.  I LOVE being an aunt.  I love being able to snuggle and love more babies!  I went up to the hospital early, hoping I'd be able to take some fun first pictures, and was so excited that I was there to catch her first bath.  

She wasn't very happy with her bath, but afterward, she slept so soundly.  

Congratulations Adam & Danielle!  She is just perfect.

We love you, baby Mae!

Colby & Tanya's Family

Tanya & I have been BFF's since 7th Grade.  How come that seems like such a long time ago?!  

She & Colby have such a cute family, I love hanging out with you all!  -And you can hardly even tell in the pictures that everybody was freezing.  Every single weekend it has kept snowing or raining!  The rain stopped for a bit, so we decided to just hurry and take them.  I love how they turned out!

I love the reflection on the sidewalk in this one!
