Sharon & Kim

I feel so honored that Sharon and Kim chose me to capture their special day for them! Both had lost their spouses a few years ago, and it was wonderful to see the love they have been blessed to find again in each other. And what a gorgeous bunch the two families make together!

We had a BIG family shoot on Friday. This was the largest group I have ever photographed and it certainly was not without it's challenges: 17 children! But can you believe there was not ONE temper tantrum and they stayed put (for the most part). I am sure the smiles can be attributed to the fact that I am straddling a water fountain, and doing absurd dances to hold the kids attention. I have a bit of editing to get this one just right - but you get the picture ;)











and the winner of the best stinkface goes to.... (so cute!)

Personal Portraits

I got to shoot this AMAZINGLY beautiful group of friends. No really, all of them were so gorgeous, I couldn't even believe it. One of the most fun shoots I have done to date!

Saundra



Joanie



Lindsey (my personal trainer)

I hope they all feel a lot more beautiful and confident when they see how gorgeous all of their pictures turned out!

Hammond Men.

James and Austin live in my neighborhood. Austin is friends with Blake and was in his kindergarten class... what a handsome pair!





These shirts were too cute!



Looking up to his Dad.



He is such a sweet boy! I love his freckles!





My favorite from the shoot.





My first father and son shoot, I think it turned out great and I hope you love your pics guys!

The "E" Family

Part three of this shoot. What a gorgeous little family!

The Mathews Family

When I first started photography, the Mathews family was one of my first paying shoots! Since then, they have a new addition and the kiddos have grown quite a lot! Lindsey is a personal trainer and has an awesome website Fit Eats. She is going to help me whip my butt into shape over the summer and if your butt needs shaping, you might want to send her an email :)

What a beautiful family. So far, I think this might be my one of my favorite family shoots. I was excited when they wanted to go urban because that is just too fun with endless possibilities and colors. And I LOVE how these turned out and hope you guys do too!

My favorite! (Click on it for the full effect!)





LOVE THIS! We found this cool sign, a little photoshop magic and how awesome is this!



They were made with love ;)







Caleb is such a cutie!





Brynley totally didn't want to cooperate last time. This time, holy cow! She turned into a little model!



I can't possibly decide which of these I like better!



And sweet Aubrey. I adore this photo. Love the big brown eyes, the little teeth showing, her kissable lips and the YELLOW! This one would look great HUGE!!!



Cheeks and lashes :)



What a fun, easy family to photograph! Can't wait to put our fun plans into works Lindsey!

Heather, Chris and Olivia

So this is Dave's beautiful sister Heather and her husband Chris and my niece Olivia. Such a gorgeous family. I love them to death and was so glad to be able to have a visit since they moved to Idaho and we don't get to see them very often anymore :( They are the most darling people. I love them!

Ummm yeah. She is the cutest.



I love her. *sigh*



And can you believe that dress? So adorable. Heather knows how to shop.



Super photogenic family (when they aren't closing their eyes in the photo!).

Hannah Continued

We had part two of Hannah's shoot today. She was an angel. And I LOVE these photos!

Think this one might be one of my favorites!
