This is my friends Daughter who is getting ready to leave for Romania very soon. You see this darling gal has no idea how many people admire her from afar. Besides the fact that she is just beautiful on the outside she just seems to exuberate goodness and happiness from the inside. The people of Romania will be so so lucky to have her. God Speed Dani.... you will be missed!

There are some families that have been with me from the beginning and I mean beginning. This family came to my house about 8 years ago when I was first starting out and had me do their pictures. This was at the time when I was using my strobes indoor and Jake had tape on the ground in our living room marking off where to set up my lights/tripod because at that time I was still learning how it all

I'll admit it, I've been having the bloggin' blah's....thought I would post a picture that makes me happy. What is it about blogging? I LOVE it don't get me wrong but at the same time, it's so so easy to get behind.

Ok..folks...Are you all into this Zumba craze? I will admit that I have never been to a Zumba class. Not because I don't like exercise or those great little outfits.... but this white girl has NO rhythm!!! I can't dance.....at all!... My sources tell me that this is a class which requires said rhythm...This is Oscarina..my sources(of which I have many)also tell me that she is the BEST Zumba

Remember Lindsay from a few weeks back? Well we started her senior session and then got rained out...so last week we tried again but it wasn't too long until the rain came AGAIN.

This just may be one of my new faves!! Not only do I love this adorable flawess little face but this girl had some funky spunk. Truth be told I am a closet dancer...I love to get down to some good music and I think little Miss D is right there with me. At one point her Mom had some music playing and the moves and beat this girl had....well, let's just say I could do a whole session just with that

It's Spring!! Oh how I love the sound of that. I wanted to post a picture from a session a couple weeks ago. They wanted their session in their own house, which turned out to be perfect and I loved that the kids were in their own element.

Meet *Superstar*...aka Angie. She doesn't know but that's what I've been calling her for years. I used to sit at my kitchen table in my old house and watch the town go by...one of my favorite past time things to do. Once in while I would see someone fly...yes fly by my house in her running shoes. That would be Ang. Yep, she's super fast. I bet she could kick my butt in those cute red high heels

Finally...I'm posting my friend Becky and her family. I won't embarass her with ALL the things I admire (ahem...like incredible voice) about her but I will say that she and her husband are some of the best parents out there! I had fun and believe it or not I think the kids had fun too...they were all laughing and having fun together, it was great.Bec...you know I love ya girl..... enjoy!!!!!!!!!!

This is Alexx and her fam. They have a little girl Sylvie that has some of the bluest eyes I've ever seen. Being with the and seeing them dote over their baby girl reminded my of when we had our first child. The world revolves around that first one and the one on one time we spent with her was the best. You only get that once.I also have to comment on how much I loved Alexx's shirt. The colors/

I LOVE these boys! They are so cute and charming! (I am secretly hoping that someday one of my little girls snags one of these handsome little devils!) Thanks Bott family..its always fun. Can't wait for you to see the new and improved better than "S" pose! :)A

My good friend Rikki had her baby boy and named him Bridger. I love that name....Ellie had a cute little boy in her preschool class with that name. Isn't he the yummiest lil' thing? This is her fourth and I'm so glad she will be able to have these photos of him of the very first stage of life. I look back and wish I had gotten newborn portraits of my kids...it's the most precious stage if you ask

This time of the year is my favorite. I love the chilly air, wearing sweaters, hats and jeans and scarves. Don't ask me why but I love it even more than summer. This is also the busiest time of the year for getting family portraits done. I am a little behind on posting for the past couple weeks because we've been busy but I wanted to make sure we get everyone on here so bear with us as we catch

One thing I love about doing this is getting to meet new people along the way. Heather and her two kids came for pictures of their three month old Drew. I had such a great time. Heather, I could've chatted with you all day girl, It was so much fun. Your kids are stunning...well, I will let the pictures speak for themselves......I have looked at this picture many many times.

I loved watching this family interact with each other. The boys are so handsome and they were so much fun..but what I really loved was watching all of them with the baby! Wow is this one lucky little girl...everyone was fighting over her. They were all great and this first pic is one of my all-time favs!

This is one of my favorite families of all time! They were such good sports. It was a very cold morning and I'm not sure how they managed to smile and look gorgeous, but they did.This is the only way I could get Sam to look at the camera! One of these days little man....you will sucombe to the monster in my lense!!!!!

This is Jodi and her cute cute family!!! Aren't they such a striking bunch? I think the parents look like they could be brothers and sisters to these kids. Where on earth did they find their fountain of youth???Jodi...We had a lot of fun with you guys...I'm digging the punch of red!

This family has three darling girls and added their little boy to this bunch almost exactly a year ago. These girls are some of the sweetest girls around. I have gotten to know them through my church calling and they always impress me. Their oldest was just a little girl months ago and now she's in Jr. High and it's a whole new ball game...watch out for her Travis!!! I had to add one moreThis is

This shoot was an adventure to say the least! When one kid was looking at the camera, three kids were looking at the sky. When 6 kids were happy and smiling, one kid was pouting and mad! I think you get the point. I am tired just looking at these pics. Not really....I love all of these little stinkers and happen to think that they are the cutest little people on earth.

Meet these three cute little sisters! Aren't they darling? My daughter and the oldest have been friends since they were two. I can't believe how much she's grown in just the past year! She's a great big sister to these two little spitfires who couldn't have been be any cuter to shoot!

It's hard to find the words to explain how much Angie and I LOVE this family! Kristi is an old college/camp friend and oh....the memories.I must say it bothers me a little that Kristi and Robert get better looking as the years go on...it's not fair!A special thank you to Emily, who kept us all laughing behind the scenes...we could use you on every shoot Em...you're a "great girl".And.. after all

This weekend I got to fly out to California to take pictures of my beautiful niece. I had such a good time...not only are both of my niece's gorgeous and fun, but it is so great to see my baby sister, and what kind of a Mom she has turned out to be! She and David are wonderful parents and their girls are so lucky! I am lucky too...thanks Mom for the great opportunity. Loves to you all.......

This cute baby has three older brothers that are going to be very protective of little Miss A! All I can say is that these parents have some genes that should be sold in a bottle~ you should see their boys too......

Precious.Darling. Tiny. Sweet!!!! What else can I say? This baby made think about how fast my kids are growing....cherish this time, it won't be long before you are braiding pigtails and having teaparties......It seemed not so long ago that my "babies" were so small.

I'm sure nobody is up this late as I am wanting input to which you like better. Color or Brown/white? I added one more that I loved. Thanks for the input...I too love the color of the first one.

Steph and I both headed to the Orchard the other day to meet up with these three cutie-tooties! Once again, we had so much fun and I think we both wanted to adopt these three lil' gals by the time we were done. My girls made some new friends as they ran around gathering cherries off the Orchard ground. Can you stand how beautiful these eyes are? Angie, enjoy .............

Last Saturday we went to Logan/Preston and did some bridals. It was so much fun and we fell in love with her whole family. Here's a few for you to look at Lisa, I'm sure Trevor will be very pleased with his cute bride-to-be! We had a hard time limiting the ones we love but here's a few for you.

Here are some Pictures from the Newborn shoot that Angie and I did while we were in Las Vegas. This little boy was so good and I learned so much from watching Erin with him. She truly is a great photographer and a great person as well.....Thanks Erin!

Over Memorial day Steph and I headed to Las Vegas to get some mentoring from Erin Fonnesbeck a professional photographer (check out ErinFonnesbeckphotography.blogspot.com She is AWESOME!!!! )that we met at Julie Parkers Workshop. All I can say is WOW...she is so SO good. We learned a ton and had a two hour family shoot and a three hour newborn studio shoot with her. I STILL haven't edited those

Genuine. Funny. Adorable. Driven. Smart. Lovable. Did I mention Halarious?I am glad to say these are dear friends of ours. Not to mention that Mike has Crazy MAD sushi skillz......Next time we are down there we will have a session of just Mike slicing, dicing, rolling and fanning.

This family was so fun to take pictures with. I loved that Tiffany found a new place herself and asked me to take their family picture there. What a great surprise when I finally came to this old blue truck....a photographers dream!!!! Thanks Tiffnay for showing me somewhere new!

What a fun evening it was to be with this cute family that lives down the street from me. While I was driving away I was wishing I had snapped candid shots of the parents. They inspire me, what great fun parents they are. I can only imagine how fun it will be for these kids to grow up together.Lisa I wanted to at least show you one...my favorite one, and then I promise I will post a couple more

This darling baby is named Pyper. Can you stand how cute she is? Her Mom says she's not very photogenic but I beg to differ.....where do you think this baby got her beautiful look from....yep, her Mama.....

L-O-V-E this family......it was nice to meet these adorable kids....my only complaint was Is it really fair that they get two beauties of extremes??...one brown eyed beauty and one blue-eyed doll....I had so much fun and had to tell them to tell me when to stop...I could have gone all night!!!!! Here's a few for you Leann..... your family is just awesome!Love the color so you can see the eyesBut

This beautiful girl was so fun. Jaycee just turned 8 and got baptized. I loved doing these pictures,it was so great to watch Jaycee,who is normally a very high energy playful kid,get a little shy, and may I say very lady like in front of the camera. She is such a good kid Jen...and I know you are proud of her!

Here's a couple more for you Mel. Really loved doing this photoshoot and if I can give props to Jed....he was awesome! Such a great dad and such a good sport! Really such a cute family. Mel, you've heard this a million times but for others out there her youngest is Zac's twin which is probably why I am so obssesed with him and their second child, well I think he looks like he could be Mo's bro.

I was so excited to shoot Mel and her cute family. Mel is one hot mama and her kids would give Angelina and Brad a run for their money.....just one shot for now, I haven't had time to go through all of them yet.

My first post on our new blog! I am so excited! Although we are still on the process of designing our layout we thought we should at least start posting. Steph and I have figured out our colors and style we want to go with and so I can't wait for it all to be done.My friend asked me to do family pictures at their house. I was hesitant because I had never done that before... I am used to going
