Josh & Barbie's Wedding

I don't even know what to say. I'm so excited for my brother and his new wife! They are seriously amazing together. And, they know how to throw one good party. They were married in the SLC temple, we had a family luncheon upstairs in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and their reception downstairs in the Empire Room. Simply stunning. Great food, dancing, and fun company. Thanks you guys! I love you tons! **LOTS of pictures to follow!**

Thanks to my second shooter, Brett, as well. He was so great!

Barbie's Bridals

I can finally post these! My brother told me he'd be upset if I posted them before the wedding and he accidentally saw them. So, I was a good little sister and waited. Isn't she gorgeous? Check out the beadwork on her dress. It's simply stunning. I should have a preview of their wedding shortly!

5 Years and Counting...

Wow?! Has it really been 5 years already? Sam & I were sealed in the Timpanogas Temple on August 19, 2003. We celebrated by taking a night off from the kids (we had some amazing friends spend the night at our house with our kids. Yes. They love us. A lot.), eating yummy food at The Melting Pot in SLC, and participating in an endowment session at the Salt Lake City Temple. It's crazy how much has happened in the last 5 years.

  • 4 months in New Zealand
  • 2 bachelor's degrees
  • 2 Kids
  • 4 Apartments
  • Almost a Master's Degree & on to a full time job!
I'm so grateful for my best friend. I love you babes!

Garden Party Frock Giveaway

Here's a link to a seamstress I picked up from someone else's blog. Her stuff is quite cute and she's giving a Garden Party Frock this week! Wouldn't it look so cute on Rachel?

Kleinman Family in the Orchard

This family was so cute! They just moved here from AZ so dad could go back to school and get his master's degree. Ambitious! I love it. Thanks for being so great to work with!

*This is also one of the locations for my Christmas mini sessions! Nice, huh?*

{Gorgeous}

Wow. This little girl was amazing! She's 2 1/2 and was sooo cooperative, cute, smiley, happy! Plus she has some spunk. I love that. I seriously had so much fun at this session. Her mom is going to die when she sees the rest!

Christmas Cards!

No! It's not too early! Seriously, though. I'm so excited about these. Here's a couple of examples from the Christmas card set I am offering this year:




Cute, huh? These are NICE too. They are 5x7, linen finish, double-sided cards (no pictures on the back). I'm selling a set of 25 cards with envelopes for $50 Ala Cart, or they will be included in my Christmas Mini Sessions. So, stay tuned for more info on that!

Back in Action

Wow. What an amazing photography-filled weekend. I had such an awesome time in Portland at Skye's Soulographer Workshop! This is the only one I've had time to edit, as I'm behind on pretty much everything. I for sure will have more to share...

Cute boy Urban Session

Meet Callie's brother. Cute, huh? We had such a good time doing an urban session. I love these! He's such a boy too. Climbs on everything, throws rocks, and LOVES motorcycles. Doesn't get any better!

Impromptu Pettiskirt Session

I love it when Rachel will dress up and let me take pictures of her! This was totally last minute and lasted all of 15 minutes, but I love them! It was fun to use the pettiskirt (I have a black coming this week too!), and have it in a more urban location. What do you think?

The rest of our family pictures!

As promised! I've also listed what I plan on ordering. Like it? Any suggestions? I would love to go bigger, but can't see that we will have a gigantic wall in the foreseeable future. Maybe someday...
