This was the fastest bridals I have ever done. However, I am super glad I was able to meet with her and give her some beautiful photos while I was in Idaho for a family celebration. You looked very beautiful Lana. Best of wishes on your up coming wedding and marriage!!

Adventures around every corner with the Hill Family. Literally!!! Goodness Katie, I don't want to miss taking your family pictures when we have great adventures like we do. Most interesting experiences when doing a session award goes to this family!!! Thanks for hiring me year after year. I love to watch your family grow and get more beautiful and handsome every time. Props to the littles on sticking it out to the end!! ......

This may have been one of my favorite sneaky photo shoots. While I didn't have the best of lighting I was still able to capture the moment without her even knowing. Congratulations to Alexis and Dallin on your engagement!!!! Thank you Dallin for calling me and asking me to take these secret photos. I was the best ninja stealthy like paparazzi photographer ever!!! You should have seen the places I was trying to hide and none of them worked until the obvious behind a tree spot. Once I was in place ......

Here is my second family. We have created so many memories and I was finally able to capture the whole family together ;) It was a whirl wind event running here and there to race the sun before it went down, even trying to capture a few when the sun was far into expiring for the day. The children were wonderful and kept a good attitude the whole time. I have a few favorites for sure, including the very first photo that Jason posed especially for me. He just knows how to strike the right pose for ......

Meet Elder SanchezWe had a fun early morning shoot today and he was fantastic and such a gentleman. He didn't even laugh when I fell in the creek TWICE!! Yes, that's right. Twice. I told him he needed to laugh because it WAS funny and if I was laughing then he had permission to do so anyway. Fortunately it was a quick shoot, of which every teenage guy is grateful for. Thank you for asking me to take them Brandon. It was so much fun and you look amazing. Your real smile is wonderful to see. Best ......

I must admit that I am not a specialized wedding photographer, but every once in a while I will say yes to shooting a wedding, and I put my whole heart and soul into the experience. I love these two like crazy and I am so glad I was able to be there on their special day. Here are just a FEW of my favorite photos from the whole day of their wedded bliss. ......

Sometimes the best kind of journeys are ones that will change you, shape you, and refine you to become better then you ever thought you could be. Those are the best kind of journeys and even better when shared with a true friend who will look past all your yucks and see all your good. The rare gems of life.

I had such a fun time photographing these two beautiful young ladies. It was a quick 30 minutes and I laughed a lot, not as much they did though....

Oh my...what a cute and adorable family!!! Their little girl was so spunky and already had an opinion on the unessential idea of wearing a head band. She was a doll and her blue eyes were amazing to photograph! Thank you for your patience in turn around time for your session Amy! ......

Thank you Elder Bybee for a fun time taking your missionary pictures and spending a wee bit of time with your mom. Meant everything to me. Love you forever, like you for always...

Oh my goodness adorable!!!!! I was so lucky to be able to take newborn pictures of these two cousins. Each was so cute and precious. Oh my oh my oh my. I was in heaven. It's a lot of work but so worth it.

Meet Elder Thomas. Our families have known each other for quite a number of years and we have had many wonderful and life growing experiences together. Brenda, Ben and Emery asked me to be their photographer to capture Emery's Missionary pictures. I love photographing this youthful man. He has an awesome come-hither-girls look that will make any girl swoon. However, since these are missionary pictures, I only had him do that a few times. Heehee. Emery, you are an upstanding, outstanding, and c ......

I have seen a lot of different examples of beauty, courage, strength, kindness and heroism in my life. Many times singular in their appearance, other times a combination of a few qualities in one person. Never had I seen all of them together in one person until I met Skyler Day. From the beginning she radiated kindness, it bubbled out of her as if it could not be contained. The more I got to know her the more I realized she was one of those people that come along perhaps, once in a lifetime. Her ......

I adored today's Newborn photo session. Meet Tytan. Tiny, cute, adorable, and headstrong. He's sure to win your heart any day, anytime, anywhere. First sneak peek from today. He's so tiny......I wanted to keep him forever.

Congratulations to Sister Christiansen on her mission to New Zealand!!! Thanks for a fun evening tonight. You are going to be an amazing missionary!!!!

This family was so much fun! Honestly, I laughed so hard at some of their antics. Here is a sneak peek from their family session tonight. Thank you for asking me to be your photographer. Some of the outtakes are perfection.

In the wee hours of this morning, my niece and her fiance and I went on an adventure. Here is there session in all it's wonderfulness, that we were able to take together. Congratulations to Brittany and Tom on their upcoming wedding. You two were wonderful to work with this morning!!

I decided to do a fun creative shoot this morning. One that allowed me to be completely imaginative with a very willing adventurous person. Thank you Deidra for being my model and for being brave enough to hop in the freezing cold water and still make it look amazing!!! Let's find a natural hot springs next time so we can do a few more creative shots. A shout out to Fox & Fern Flower Crowns for providing that gorgeous flower crown for our photo shoot!!! ......

Wowzers!!!! This was a super fun photo shoot in the wee hours of the morning. Rain and all. Just look at this amazing young man. He's like one of my own. Love ya Jason!!!

Elder Seelos, it's been a fun year of School dance photos, Family photos, Seniors, and now your Missionary photos. I think my favorite part about all year was getting to know you better through photographing you. You are an amazing young man and I wish you the very best on your mission. They won't want to let you go once you get there!! So glad the rain stayed away!

The only other thing we needed this morning was a plantation house for this beauty. She oozed classic Southern Belle and I loved her simplistic yet astounding beauty inside and out. I could of photographed you all day Hope.
