I feel like I have been absentee forever!! My life has been soo full lately! Another amazing trip to Africa, a small flood, a busy remodel and of course, much photography going on as well…
The Senior’s are keeping my schedule, I have so many to catch up on, but I thought I’d throw a few out there just to prove I am still alive and well!
Hope you enjoy!!
I will always love doing pictures in the hospital because it is such a sweet experience! This little girl came with a great set of lungs and an unexpected full head of hair! Congrats S and J!!
Meet part of our crew…. we have named almost all 10, but we could not name the last 2, since they are identical! We have Guster, Tank, Frisbee, Twitch, Rue, Prim (our 2 smallest), Ginger, and Summit! The entire puppy experience is so good for the kids. We all adore them, and we all are helping with the feeding and clean up duty. Then we all grab one or two and snuggle up to a movie together on the couch, they are soo fun to snuggle, and they like to bury their noses deep in between your arm and body. Are they not the cutest things ever?
Oh my goodness, with spring break, kids basketball and other activities, and my upcoming trip to Africa, it was a bit crazy trying to get these classes to fit in the calendar!
But they are back! Missing shooting, still feeling like you need that extra tip or advice to really help you shoot better? I love that these are not online classes, or something you have to figure out from a book. I love learning from someone standing right in front of me, and so I love these classes!
Here is the class line-up for Spring:
Photography 101 and 102: $190
Thursdays March 1st and 8th from 9 am – 12 noon
Photoshop CS3, CS4, and CS5: $250
Thursday, March 29th 8:30 – 3:30 lunch will be served
Creative Lighting Class: $125
Saturday, March 10th 3:30 – 6:30
Everything about this shoot went well. Our little cute here started out a little shy, but ended up as darling as she could be, the lighting was fabulous, and everyone so fun! Momma delivered a little brother 3 weeks later, so I have some of his newborn shots to share with you soon as well….
Just checking out some of my amazing sessions I had during the Holiday Season, and this one always made me laugh!
Thank goodness Mom thought so too. Not every Mom would like this picture, some only want the perfect smiles with the perfect hair. But looking at this image, you can see their personalities, and that is both timeless and priceless! That is why this Mom made a big ‘ol print out of this image, and then used it on 200 Christmas cards going all over the country!
Personality trumps all!!!
Is Santa bringing you a new camera for Christmas? Then let’s get together and figure that thing out so that you can be taking amazing pictures of your kids and family!
These classes will be held in January, and will make the perfect Christmas gift for that photographer who is ready to really get to know her camera!

Hey everyone! I am still alive and well, and this season is going great! I’ve had the most amazing families to work with and together we have created tons of fun, fun images!! I can’t wait to start sharing, but I’ve got to get these darling Christmas Cards posted first!
This year I have added a few new cards for you to choose from and I am so delighted with the design… I am in love with Chevron stripes and the simple and clean look as well! I have posted a few of the cards here with the designs, and then I have a whole slew of other cards to choose from as well. So if your interested in seeing the whole collection, just email me and I’ll get you the code to my site.
All of the cards are printed on fine linen paper or metallic paper, and some are cut as die cuts with cute creative cut out designs. Envelopes are included.
Each set is a pack of 24, and must be purchased in those increments.
1 – 4×5.5 linen set = $40
1 – 4×5.5 pearl set = $50
1 – 5×7 linen set = $50
1 – 5×7 pearl set = $60
This includes adding in your photos (whether or not it was taken by me), and adding the family names. Any additional changes in the wording, amount of photos on the card, colors on the card, etc. is an additional $20. All cards are fully customizable with colors, images and messaging.
You may also just order the customized design from me, so that you can order your cards from your favorite printer. This fee is $40.
New Designs:
Gotta love these spunky kids… they must get it from their parents, who are quite amazing people! I love shooting in the home, it’s so fun to create art out of you and your family. It can be so much more than “family pictures”.
This above image is just what I am talking about. You could have a nice random picture of flowers on your wall as art, or this. Your sweet child and your pups… your family art. This would look amazing as a 4 foot gallery wrap canvas at the end of the hallway.
Don’t you just love the drool?
My poor blog has been neglected… so sorry, I have been so crazy backed up that nothing is getting on here… yikes!!
I did want to share about my daughter and her baptism day. We are LDS, and when our children turn 8, they are baptized as official members of our church.
This was a very special day for her and for our family.
Hope you enjoy the images.
I took a few pictures of her in her white dress at the Mesa Temple. The baptism was performed on a different day in a regular church building with a font, but the temple is so important to us as a family since it is where we were sealed (married) for this life and all eternity.
Before Addie’s baptism, we had a family brunch at our house with all the cousins and friends.
Mal and I were excited to try some new ideas off of our crazy addiction Pinterest!
So glad I made it into one photo for the day… that’s rare, right?
Cousins are the best!
