"M" Family

This was a fun session. The kids were such troopers in the cold, and I managed to get them a little muddy but the parents were ok about it :) We took these on a portion of the Jordan River Parkway in Lehi and as we were snapping away people were jogging and biking by. Kinda funny!

It's been awhile...

I have been the biggest slacker lately posting things to my blog. If I am lucky I get a preview or two in on Facebook and that's about it. Here is a way cute little family who just had their first new lil. She had SO much hair. She was the sweetest little thing. I have known the mother since middle school and I was thrilled when they invited me to their home to take some family pictures. This was kind of a lifestyle session and I felt that the images were beautiful in black and white.

These are days you'll remember...

I have come to the conclusion that there will never be an "easy" stage of your childs age that they are. You have the newborn stage (which I absolutely hated), and then the terrible twos, and then it goes on from there. BUT no matter what the challenge, you will always remember... Those days :)

“Other things may change us, but we start and end with family”

A few days ago, I was having a rough day. My husband was out of town for work, and my kids were driving me insane! I could not wait for those 2 days to be over so that when he got home I could pass the kids off and say "your turn". Imagine having dad be gone for an entire year! This family is having to say a temporary goodbye to their dad who is in the military. He will be gone for 12 months. It is something that is unimagineable to me. I admire their strength and their support for one another and I know that they will survive this and its only a small part of their journey.

Photo Contest Entries - Let the voting begin!

A few weeks ago I decided to give away a photo session. BUT the catch was each person entering had to submit a picture of "beauty in something considered ugly". That could mean MANY different things to people. Here are the entries I received. Leave a comment with your vote. Voting will end Friday.

"I took during the summer. I think that this depicts true beauty in the face of something ugly and hard."

Photo 4:
Stretch marks! What an ugly mess! But 4 babies make it (beautiful) all worth it right?!

We were in New Orleans on a swamp
tour and this crocodile was just hanging out in a bunch of moss.
Pretty cool!
