Eden & Zion

While visiting family up in Washington state, I took advantage of my sister-in-law’s beautiful home to update Zion and Eden’s portraits.

Sometimes people tell me these girls look like me. I don’t see it, but I certainly take it as a compliment!

Mina’s Quinceañera

Mina is a beautiful girl with a wonderful family. It was an honor to be a part of her special day! 20140628 152929 IMG 0207

Mina was eloquent in expressing her gratitude to her parents for throwing her such a wonderful event. A gracious girl, a sweet family. Thank you for allowing me to capture this day!

Ave Family Portraits

As is customary, I have let a lot of time pass since I last shared. I went through my photo library and had to make a tough call on which beautiful family I would post. These two cuties caught my eye…

Their photo session was done in their back yard. They have a fun playhouse/fort, I love the color! Here they are with their beautiful mom and proud dad…

Such a joy to have photographed- thank you, Ave family!

One On The Way: The Pociecha’s

When our long-time friends announced that they were expecting, our whole family was filled with excitement! I received a text message photo of an ultra sound and nearly fell out of the chair I was in. I could barely get the words out to share the news with my husband- who was looking at me wondering if I just got good news or bad news. Good news, it was definitely GOOD NEWS!

Totah Family Portraits

I am so slow at updating. My busiest month for family photos is November- and I’m posting this session in April! It’s so silly- I love my families, and this one is no exception. Some day I’ll get faster at sharing!

Here they are- the Totah family!

Grayson and Sami were so fun, I really enjoyed taking their photos.

We concluded our session with a photo of some very special guests. I look forward to our next ‘play date’ 🙂

Family Portraits: The Christensens

Family portraits are always so much fun for me. I love having the opportunity to photograph what makes each family unique.

Ian and Tessa are best friends. It’s so sweet to see a big brother that doesn’t just love his sister, but really enjoys being around her.

20131109 125113 IMG 1115

Tessa wanted to be sure we got a clear shot of her ‘flair’…

And check out Ian’s eyes! Whoa.

In case you are wondering who to congratulate on such cute kids…

Could I have a job more fun than this? I don’t think so.
