A few as of late...

I have had the opportunity to spend time with so many great

families,

newborns,

lovebirds,

and teenagers lately.

I really wish I had more time to blog all of the shoots I've been doing,

but...

I just can't with my sweet kiddos, my awesome husband, and attempting to keep up with my sleep and exercise.

So I just want to say thank you to all of my clients that have kept me super busy this Fall and continue to do so. I love my job, I love the people I meet and the new friends I make daily.

One day.

One day.

I might be able to share more of my life and work with everyone. But as of now I'm just spending my time shooting and being a mom and wife and an every once in a while blogger!

Thanks and here's a few from a few different shoots.

Not many.

But, hey

it's somethin'!

Korver + a little bit a chub! = adorable!!! Utah Baby Photographer

How cute is Korver.

I was so happy when he showed up

with all of these rolls.

Seriously he weighs more than

my Channing whose 17 mths. old and

he's only 6 months.

I loved it!!!

My babies are always little and I really, really,

want a chubby one. So when I see babies with all of these rolls

I just eat 'em up!

My "ADOPTED" daughter - Josie! Utah Portrait Photographer

This is my life saver,

my teenager that loves me and hopefully always will,

my "oldest daughter"

my kids favorite playmate & sitter!

This is Josie and some of her friends.

She turned 14 so we decided to do a shoot

with the girls!!!

It was fun, I love this age, so care free and happy!

This day and age is so hard, especially for girls.

So much pressure to be popular,

to be skinny,

to wear all the name brand clothes.

None of that matters.

We are all different, special and unique in our own ways,

that's what makes us who WE are.

We need to own it, own our individuality.

I hope and wish for all of these girls to know they are loved,

to know they are beautiful,

inside and out,

and to know that life is always better with friends,

and being happy with ourselves.

Love you girls and I'll be any of your second mom's anyday!!!

Trevor & Kelsey - Utah Wedding Photographer - Engagements

These two cutie's are getting hitched tomorrow!

And I'm excited to spend the day with them.

I've known Trevor for 7 or more years

and am so happy that he found Kelsey.

They are perfect together and I absolutely love her and am so, so, happy for them.

I'm happy that he found someone that I like so we can hang out!

Congrats you two! See ya in the A.M.

McAlpin Girls - Utah Children's Photographer

These three beauties are from California but come in town once a year to visit family and while they're here they always get their yearly photo shoot in. We did the whole family last year so this year it was just the girls.

Luckily we made it through the crazy, annoying, mosquitos even though we smelled like OFF! But hey it worked and those dang bugs stayed away.

I'm so glad they come back to me every year because it's so much fun to see them grow up!

Willis Family - Utah Family Photographer

So yes it's not a dream, don't rub your eyes, it's true I'm posting. I really do want to post more but to be quite honest my life with my 3 kids just hasn't allowed it much over the past year.

My baby is now 16 months and I can't believe how fast she's grown and how big she is now. (I just did a tiny, little post about her on my family blog that is even more outdated than this, one or two posts before that were her newborn pictures, embarrasing but true and just reality.)

Anyway, this family is great! I did their family pictures a few years ago when their baby was still in momma's tummy. Now again with another "surprise" on the way they decided it was time to update the family pictures before the baby bump started showing on this tiny little mom that is going to have her 6th child!

Way to go Ashley, (and Ethan) you are amazing parents. These kids are all so well behaved and were so much fun to spend the evening with.

I'll be excited to find out what this next baby is and will be even more excited to take pictures of he/she when they get here.

Here's a few of what these two have created!

I'm still here!

So I know that I've been neglecting the blog, both blogs for that matter over the past, what, 6 months. Well I just had to decide between work, kids, laundry, kids, cleaning, kids, and blogging. As my blog shows the first 6 things have been my priority over the past little while.

I really do want to blog, I like to blog, I want to share with everyone all the work I've been doing over the past few months, but there's just not much time to blog. So I don't!!!

But I am going to try to switch things up a little over the next couple months as the new year is approaching. I have lots of ideas for my business but no time to run with them. So hopefully after my life slows down around Christmas maybe I'll be able to work on some of these ideas.

I am still shooting like crazy. Yes, I still have a business and it's better than ever. I've shot 3 weddings, about 6 families, 2 newborns, and a few other things over the past 2 weeks. So ya I'm a little crazy, but it's good crazy!

Had to leave a picture of one of my favorite families. This is my cousin and his adorable family. We've always been close and I always love when we get together. The pictures were a little chaotic with 6 kids, but it's all fun and games and nobody even got hurt!

Dallas & Katelyn - Wedding

So I have to say that when it was a downpour on this wedding day I was really sad for these two. But, I am so glad that we decided to reschedule and go back another day and that they were up to getting ready for a second time in their wedding attire.

Really, taking the pictures on a different day was so nice. No time restraints, no stress, just plenty of time to have fun and let my creative juices flow, well at least until the sun went down.

Now besides the fact that there was a huge, orange crane right smack dab in the middle of the temple when we arrived, and it rained on us yet again for about 10 minutes, we took a deep breath, smiled, and waited. It stopped raining, the crane moved, and the sun came out with the perfect light on the temple and some pretty cool clouds.

We played around while we were waiting for the light to change and what do you know, the horse and carriage walked by just at the right time. I love it!!!


Once again, amazingly talented Jessica, made the bridesmaid and flower girl dresses. I love her style and perfection. The mother of the bride said it was worth every penny spent to have custom dresses made. Oh and Katelyn's veil was made by Jess too.
