As a photographer, I came to understand the joy in creating things. Not only beautiful photos but I absolutely love created book covers for authors. Cindy Rolland Anderson and I joined forces. Most of her book covers were done with photos I took specifically for her books and then created her covers for her. While I was in Peru, we weren't able to get together so we had to use stock photos for some of them but I was still able to be creative. I have loved working with different authors and love ......

It was meant to be! These two families contacted me asking if I had room to do baptisms on short notice. I had done baptism photos their previous children and was so excited for the opportunity to do so again. I loved seeing the cousins interact with each other and may have caught a few fun photos in the process.

Elder Bybee you are going to be amazing in Argentina!!! This was such a fun photo shoot with you and I cannot wait to see how you progress even more as a missionary. Living in Peru has prepared you so much for being in Argentina for 2 years!!! Serve with honor, son!

Catherine worked so hard to graduate from high school that she never got Senior photos done. When she asked me to take them for her I couldn't have been happier. It's been a pleasure doing photo shoots as a service for others in Lima.

He went from turning his papers in to leaving straight from Peru! What a whirlwind for him and his family but we successfully got his photo session in. Argentina is getting an amazing missionary in Elder Webber.

I loved being able to help President and Sister Manly get family photos while they served as mission presidents in Peru! They little ones had about a 20 minute window of tolerance but we managed to get them all in there with some smiles!

Ah, my second to last child in high is graduating this year. Man time flies. I have to say this was a fun photo shoot in the old part of Lima, Peru. Old buildings and classic people made for a fun and unique day. You can't have your Senior session without photos with your best friend, a rogue bird taking over the shoot, and street vendor watermelon at the end...

It's becoming a tradition to do Senior photos for the Webber family. From his older sister in Utah during the pandemic, to Kade in Lima after the pandemic. Thanks for trusting me with your Senior pics Kade! You can't have your Senior session without photos with your best friend, a rogue bird taking over the shoot, and street vendor watermelon at the end...

Beach family photos???? I have always wanted to do some beach photos with a family and the Niu family did not disappoint with their joy to wake up early in order to catch an empty beach, bringing their fun easy going personalities with them. Oh and their children were ADORABLE!!! Thank you for trusting me with your family photos in Peru!!! Thank you for an amazing session. You were wonderful to photograph and your happiness to just be there together as a family was a joy to see. ......

Senior pictures in Peru again. Yes please!! I fell in love with these photos the moment I loaded them on my computer. Some needed the whole black and white vintage look as she just resonates classic beauty. Some needed just the tiniest of edits. Thank you for a wonderful day of capturing your sunshine, your beauty, and your amazing personality.

Levi grew up before my eyes. He is a fantastic youngster with a zest for life and a fun sense of humor. I loved being able to take his photos in Peru.

Ah Kora, from your little days as a sunbeam in primary, you have grown so big so fast. I loved your zest for singing and your adorable voice. Please don't grow up too fast. Taking your photos for baptism was sureal for me. I miss being your primary music leader and seeing your adorable smile each week.

I have taken photos of this young lady before. Her Senior pictures were amazing. These photos by far surpass all my favorites because of just how confident she is. Her eyes tell me, she's got this. Her standing tall tells me she can do anything. I am totally in love with these photos of Hermana Webber and I cannot be happier for her as she moves forward serving her mission in Chile!!! Thank you for trusting me with your missionary photos Megan! I am so glad I could take them for you. ......

Oh my goodness. Senior photos in Peru???? Yes please!!!! And for the cherry on top...she's one amazing young woman too. I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED our Senior session together Sabrina. Thank you for trusting me to take your Senior photos.

Photographing my son, Carson, was a favorite of mine. He challenged me and said he wanted a night life scene for Senior pics. This was out of my wheelhouse but he wouldn't settle for anything less and thus what does a mom do? You do your best and move forward. While this is not a typical Senior session that most Seniors dream about, it was what HE dreamed about and that is what is most important. He loved how they turned out and loved his announcement even more. Love you to the moon and back son ......

Senior pics with Kaden was so much fun!!! He was a natural in front of the camera and it was just a pleasure to be around him. Thanks for trusting me with your Senior pics Kaden!

Congrats to this amazing young man serving in the DC area speaking Farsi. I’m so glad I could be here to take your missionary photos and that you had such a great time at your session.

I truly love it when I get to be together with good friends and amazing families. The O'Briens were kind enough to ask me to take their family photos again and it was just so good to be together again in one place. What a beautiful amazing family. LOVED LOVED LOVED getting together again.

Wow! Those eyes are amazing to stare at. Meet Megan!!! She's not only beautiful on the outside but inside is where she really shines forth with a light that you see from her soul. Amazing heart stopping photos for one amazingly beautiful young lady.Megan was a dream to photograph. Her smile, her confidence, her laughter and her easy going nature. I love that she trusted me to take her Senior photos! What an amazing time we had.

What an amazing experience to take photos of my brother's family while they visited. Loved walking the beautiful trails with them and just spending time together was the best part about their session.

I love doing missionary photos!!!! You get to see the light and joy in the eyes of those going out to serve others. Love that you contacted me and trusted me with your session. Thank you!!!

We thought this session would not happen because we were continents apart and then all of a sudden I am standing behind a camera taking her Senior photos. Dream come true!!!!!!!
