maggie and hannah.

2011-12-13T13:29:00.000-08:00

Aaaahhhhh. That's all I can say about these pictures. The outfits, the location, the people, the light. I love how these turned out.

catherine, etc.

2011-12-07T12:55:00.001-08:00

This is Catherine, her husband, and her beautiful, beautiful children. Once again, the darlings are in sweaters knit with love by their mama. I think 3 year old S may be one of my very favorite subjects to photograph. In another year or so, when she totally digs it, I just may steal her away for the day and photograph to my heart's content.

lindsay lou.

2011-11-29T13:09:00.001-08:00

This is Lindsay. Isn't she adorable?? She is graduating from high school in a few months. She is such a great girl, with such a great mom. :) I secretly hope my Molly turns out just like her.

amy, etc.

2011-11-03T12:36:00.000-07:00

Amy and her 3 boys. Aren't they fabulous in their browns and blues? Older brother was NOT having anything to do with this picture thing until we found some rocks for him to throw. After that, it was endless smiles.

the mouritsen's.

2011-11-02T08:49:00.001-07:00

This is Rachel and her darling family. They are such wonderful people. Rachel and I just have a connection. I am so grateful for her. Don't you just love her babies?

the dunn family.

2011-10-12T13:29:00.001-07:00

I seriously never tire of this orchard...or this family. I am so glad Jamie asks me to do this year after year. I love her family. Could her children's skin be any more perfect? It looks like velvet.

marley and ethan.

2011-09-18T12:21:00.001-07:00

Marley and Ethan are Melissa and Scott's 2 little sweets. I've been talking their pictures for a long time now. I love to photograph them. Their eyes and their skin...they make me want to melt. 2 of the most beautiful kids I have ever known.

brandon wesley.

2011-09-16T08:15:00.001-07:00

This delicious little thing is the 7th baby for my good friends Jon and Kristin. 7 kids! They are all so beautiful. Brandon is a little angel. Quiet, bright eyed, and perfect.

the thornton family.

2011-08-30T09:21:00.000-07:00

Oh my goodness, I love this family. Dave and I met them about 14 years ago when we lived on Grandview Hill. I loved them immediately, and the more I got to know them, the more I admired. Mike and Jenny have great, great kids. I have often asked how they got SO good. Of course Jenny never has an answer. I want my children to be like hers. Katie is one of my kindred spirits. I was the Laurel advisor when she was 16-17. We had great times together. Great talks. We were friends before, and met up again when she was just a little girl. When I had the twins, the Thorntons, Sean and CJ included, took one of the babies every single sunday during church. It helped SO much, but more than that, it made me feel good. I loved that they loved my babies. They are just such GOOD people.

b & b.

2011-08-25T13:48:00.001-07:00

Banning and Brylee...aside from my own, and my twin sisters, possibly the most beautiful twins I have ever seen. :) Jaime is a beautiful mother. She is cool and calm. Her kids are loving and confident. I'm not going to lie, it made me miss the days of tiny Elizabeth and Emily. Those were wonderful, happy times. Twins are a true blessing.

schultz.

2011-07-27T10:32:00.000-07:00

This is my sweet friend Kami. My running buddy. Isn't she pretty? Aside from my sister Laura, I don't think I've ever met anyone more photogenic. She looks airbrushed. This was their first family picture since baby Dean joined the family over a year ago. :) I think it was worth the wait!

dalton.

2011-07-22T19:51:00.001-07:00

OK, first of all...Christy is gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. Every time I take the Dalton's pictures, I am blown away by how great they look...the people, the pictures, all of it. This girl makes me happy. And it turns out, I can make little Addi happy. She was licking me in the car. Yup, like a cat.

dickson.

2011-07-20T13:27:00.000-07:00

I know it's a stretch, but I'm kindof related to these cute kids and I've been wanting to take pictures of them for awhile...and they finally let me. :) Their mom is married to my sister Laura's husband's cousin. Got it? We're tight like that. :) Can you even believe the cute, round Mabel? Love.

nick.

2011-06-20T16:46:00.000-07:00

Another friend from my old ward. This time, the son of Laurel and Dave Bruner. Nick just graduated from Provo High School. I remember when he was 12 and used to come Home Teach us with his dad. He was A LOT smaller back then.

the maughan family.

2011-06-10T14:03:00.001-07:00

Every once in awhile I photograph a family I've never met. I'm usually pretty nervous. Will they like me? Will they think I'm just a wannabe? Will I be able to keep conversation flowing? Anyhow, these guys were great. Put my fears to rest as soon as I met them. I hope my adult kids will love each other like these kids so obviously do.

*I should mention, we did this whole thing in the rain. Wet, cold rain.

baby R & big brother K.

2011-05-24T11:56:00.000-07:00

This is my friend Tara's sister Amy and her sweet, sweet boys. K really didn't want anything to do with me. Isn't he darling though? And that fresh, new baby...I could have died.

the salmon family.

2011-05-19T11:41:00.001-07:00

My sweet friend Jessica Archibald married into this family. We managed to swing these pictures on New Years day at the library. They had some great connections. Not sure what took me so long to post. Aren't they gorgeous?

tanya and family.

2011-01-31T09:58:00.001-08:00

Tanya is my good friend Tara's sister. Her little Reagan is my pal. Funny little girl! I took these pictures before Christmas...not sure what took me so long to get them posted. :(

my friends, the McCulloughs.

2010-11-29T13:16:00.001-08:00

I know I say this a lot...but once again, some of my very favorite people. I feel like I have known Michelle and had her in my life for decades, yet I only met her 4.5 years ago. I treasure her and her friendship. And NO...the kids are not for sale! :)

meet the robisons.

2010-11-19T10:25:00.000-08:00

This is the Robison family. I have a hard time explaining just how good they have been to Dave and I. We lived in their basement for years, almost rent free, when we had 3 small kids and money was tight. Crystal and I talked every single day. We relied on eachother a lot. Alex and Ben were best pals. Eventually their house got too cramped. They let us live in another home they owned up on Grandview. Again, almost rent free. Jeff seemed to know when we were having a particularly tough month, and wouldn't accept our check. They have given and given and FORgiven. They are some of the kindest and most selfless people I know. This is THEIR orchard.

beauties.

2010-11-04T09:58:00.000-07:00

Gorgeous kids! I had never met these cute people until the night of our shoot. We had a blast though. They were so great to work with...I could have gone on for another hour had the light permitted. :) Yup...we went to the orchard again. People LOVE it there. As a matter of fact, my next post is at the orchard too...with the owners. :)

the reed family.

2010-10-29T11:50:00.000-07:00

Carrie (one of my very oldest BFF's) and her family. It's a rare thing when her husband Dave will allow his picture to be taken. Good thing it was birthday time for Carrie. :) These kids are so great. The kind that you can babysit and not even know they are there. They're smart. They're nice. They're good. Glad they're my friends.

macy and mama.

2010-10-25T09:52:00.000-07:00

This is Macy and her beautiful mommy, Michelle. Michelle has lost over 20 lbs recently. I know she will never post pictures of just her, so I'M doing it. So all of you can see how great she looks and how hard she's worked. And Macy...she is just a little ball of yum. I love her.

beautiful, little miss s.

2010-10-22T13:51:00.000-07:00

This little girl is so delicious. Her eyes are a dream. An absolute dream. Some guys are going to get seriously lost in them down the road. Here she is in yet another gorgeous hand-knit sweater, made by her sweet mom.

a, b, and j.

2010-10-19T10:07:00.000-07:00

Jet, Braxton, and Abby. Not sure if I spelled those right. I AM sure that these 3 kids knew how to work the whole "not a care in the world" look though. Pretty darn cute, if you ask me.

the hasara beauties.

2010-10-11T12:08:00.000-07:00

This is Matt and Kate/Katie and their 2 sweets. I love them. Aren't they the most beautiful family? I have to admit...when Matt and Kate first moved into my ward probably 10 years ago, I was very intimidated. By Kate. I mean, look at her...she is gorgeous, stylish, she has got it all. I can tell you now, that she is one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever known. You can see it in her face. All 4 of them are that way.

the giant peterson family. :)

2010-10-07T11:36:00.000-07:00

This is the Peterson family. I met them in my old ward, years ago. This is how I want my family to be when my children are grown. Kind, loving, tight. I think Lori is the ultimate Grandma. :)

ella bella is 3!

2010-10-01T11:33:00.001-07:00

Ella belongs to my dear running friend Tara. She just turned 3. Isn't she the sweetest thing?

the heppler's.

2010-09-30T16:46:00.000-07:00

These are my sweet friends Derek and Trina Heppler. They were sealed last month. I was so happy to be able to be there. So happy for them and their family.

this is cassidy.

2010-08-22T10:50:00.001-07:00

This is Cassidy. She lives around the corner. She's a beehive in our ward. I love her to pieces. She is a happy, bubbly, confident, quirky, little thing.

the oversons.

2010-08-18T13:32:00.000-07:00

This is my friend Cori and all of her posterity. :) Aren't they a stunning family? Kind, beautiful people.

the yergensens.

2010-08-07T12:14:00.000-07:00

This is the Yergensen family. And this was them 2 years ago. It goes to show you what hard work and determination can do. LOOK at Scott and Melissa...they look amazing. I have stared at these pictures for awhile now. I love them. I love Marley's perfect round face and "soft" smile. I love Ethan's sunbleached hair. I love Melissa's new confidence. AND I love how Scott looks at her. Great looking family, if you ask me. :)

the beautiful frey's.

2010-08-04T17:09:00.000-07:00

This is a bitter-sweet post for me to do. These are our dear friends, the Frey's. Some of our very dearest, actually. Alex and Jonathan are destined to be friends forever. :) We threw together one last photo shoot before they headed out of town to South Dakota. We miss them dearly...and love them even more. All of them...Jon, Kristin, Jonathan, Matthew, Allyson, Courtney, Lydia, and Katelyn.

HUGE post for a huge, delicious family.

brittney, etc. :)

2010-08-03T15:30:00.000-07:00

The Henrichsen's. :) Daniel, Brittney, Chase, MacGregor, Ainsley, and little Piper.

This is my dear friend Brittney. Brittney from Delaware, but now Pennsylvania. Brittney who's husband is an oral surgeon who has already had 2 tours in the war. Brittney who delivered baby #4 (Piper) while Dan was in Iraq. Brittney who I spent hours with as a kid and teenager, braiding friendship bracelets, watching Wierd Al in UHF, writing letters to our secret loves, swimming in her awesome pool. Brittney who is freakishly good with maps, remembering birthdays and all sorts of tiny little details. Happy, beautiful Brittney. She will be my friend forever. It's already been 34+ years...that's half way there, right?

meet joshua.

2010-08-02T11:40:00.001-07:00

Sorry...he isn't for sale. :) Isn't this baby boy delicious? I love him. I want to nibble on him. My dear friend Jessica and her handsome Matt sure do have some beauties. 4 of them.

macy girl...and big brother gavin.

2010-07-25T19:50:00.000-07:00

Oh boy, do I love these 2 babies. I love their mom so much...more than almost anyone in this world. They are beautiful little reflections of her and their daddy. Macy is delicious...even when crying. And Gavin...oh Gavin. The most cooperative he's ever been in a photoshoot. I think they're only going to get easier from here. :) Sorry for the overload. They were pretty darn cute!

all the dunn's.

2010-07-17T10:46:00.001-07:00

WOW! IT has been ages since I have posted a photo shoot. It's actually been ages since I've done one. I'm rusty. :) Anyhow, this is my dear friend Jamie and her husband Greg's family. They were just headed back to West Virginia and Jamie thought Grandma would love some family pictures. Isn't she great? :)

delaware.

2010-07-07T20:31:00.000-07:00

Delaware, do you know how much I love you?

a little spring, please.

2010-02-23T12:58:00.000-08:00

So, I'm posting this picture of Alex and Molly as a reminder that warmer, brighter days are just around the corner. They ARE, right?

peterson patterson. :)

2010-02-05T12:58:00.000-08:00

This is Kylie Peterson Patterson. She was one of my Laurels in our old ward. She is a gem. Just like a ray of sunshine. She is kind, happy, giving. From what I can tell of her husband, Eric...he is just the same way. That little Hallie has got it made. :)

macy elizabeth.

2010-01-22T09:24:00.000-08:00

This is Michelle's Macy Elizabeth. She is 3 weeks old and just splendid. I love every single inch of her.

katelyn elizabeth.

2010-01-20T15:40:00.001-08:00

This is number six for my dear friend Kristin. SIX. The very thought makes me weary. I'm not sure how she's doing it, but she's doing it. I love her.

the henrie's.

2010-01-06T14:39:00.000-08:00

Another family from my old ward. I'm so glad they still think to call me. :) I could take pictures of the two girls...all.day.long.

marley & ethan.

2009-12-17T13:21:00.000-08:00

These sweet babies belong to one of my best friends, Melissa. She called me last Saturday, asking if I might be able to snap a few quick pictures of her kids for christmas cards. Right then. :) She had them dressed and ready in 20 minutes and we headed out. It was snowing (ALOT) and cold, but I think they turned out SO beautifully, I ran home, dressed my own kids and headed out with them. I'll post those later. :)

jamie, etc. :)

2009-12-15T10:10:00.000-08:00

This is my cute friend Jamie and her family (parents, sisters, brother, etc.). Jamie put so much stress and work into planning the whole big thing. Whew...she can relax now! :)

the mouritsen family.

2009-12-10T14:02:00.001-08:00

Man alive, it was cold for this photo shoot. They were such great sports though. Ethan wasn't loving it, but he sure did look cute with his furrowed brow. :) Aren't they beautiful?

the halls.

2009-12-07T15:34:00.000-08:00

This family is just as sweet, soft and quiet as they look. Pretty much the opposite of me and mine. :) I loved their newest addition. I thought she looked so much like Harry Connick Jr. In a good way. REALLY. I told her that. I probably shouldn't have. That baby was just so darn beautiful!

the lynns.

2009-11-23T11:55:00.000-08:00

This is Dave's little sister Kami and her family. I LOVED this photoshoot. Partly because I am so comfortable with them, partly because they were up for anything...and smiling and giggling the whole time, and partly because they are so freaking gorgeous. I took GOBS of pictures and love them all. The Lynn's are awesome!

michelle and ???

2009-11-19T14:17:00.000-08:00

Michelle is expecting #2, almost ready to join big boy Gavin. :) This one is a GIRL! I think Michelle looks happy and beautiful. Gavin...beautiful, but not so happy. He wanted nothing to do with pictures, much to Michelle's dismay. I have yet to capture just how yummy this boy is. Humongous eyes, beautiful smile. We're buddies. It will come...in time. :)

the henrie family.

2009-11-12T14:28:00.000-08:00

Just as kind, loving, and beautiful as they were 2 years ago. :)

mom, dad, and little s.

2009-11-05T14:33:00.001-08:00

My friend Catherine and her sweet little family. I wanted to gobble that baby girl right up. And then maybe go for a swim in her giant eyes. She was an angel, sitting/standing right where we put her, gazing at mom and dad, with her soft smile. And the sweater...made by mommy. The cutest thing ever.

our new little gavin.

2009-10-29T08:28:00.000-07:00

My beautiful niece Valerie and her husband Arty had a baby boy. His name is Gavin Parker and I love him. My sister Lisa flew Margaret and I back to Delaware 2 weeks ago to take pictures of him...right in the middle of a "nor-easter". Somehow we still managed to get some beauties. I am so glad I got to meet him, and see sweet Val in her new role of mother. She is a natural at it. She was made to be a mom. She adores that baby, and you just KNOW he can feel it. <3

anteres and her boys.

2009-10-21T12:49:00.000-07:00

I can't even imagine being surrounded by all this testosterone. Anteres is a beautiful mother though. She loves these boys. She and her husband Dave are raising some kind, good kids.

the reeds. (well...most of them)

2009-10-12T13:57:00.000-07:00

This is Carrie and her family. THIS Carrie. She is one of my greatest friends. From way back in the day...the early 90's, living it up at the Riv. I love her so much. The only person missing from these pictures is her husband Dave. You wish you knew them. Trust me, you do. They are hilarious. <3

the daltons.

2009-10-06T17:36:00.000-07:00

My favorite place once again, with one of my favorite little families. What am I going to do when my friends sell the place? Hope that never happens. I haven't edited these at all. Not a smidge. The light was THAT good over there. (Almost) 2 year old Addison wasn't having it. Good thing she is so cute and her parents are absolutely gorgeous together!

megan and her 5.

2009-09-29T13:25:00.000-07:00

This is my dear friend Megan and her gang. I love her so much. She is going through a painfully, difficult time in her life, but wanted to capture her relationships with her kids. She is strong, capable, loving...and she WILL make it through.

*And yes...this is where we had my FAV take our family pictures.

j,j,j,j,j,j,and little j.

2009-09-23T12:53:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite families in our ward. They are nice, good, beautiful people. :)

candy's family.

2009-09-07T11:42:00.000-07:00

This is Candy. She is my dear friend Michelle's mom. I love Michelle, so I love Candy too. It's been awhile since all the siblings were together, so it was family picture time. I'm sure you remember my little boyfriend, Gavin. :)

annie at 10.

2009-08-17T12:05:00.001-07:00

I just had to do a little photoshoot when my niece Annie was visiting from PA. First of all...she's beautiful. Second...her mom is just too busy to get many of Annie lately. Third...I knew Grandma and Grandpa would be THRILLED! :)

my girl.

2009-08-13T15:01:00.001-07:00

My sweet girl after church a few days ago.

I never tire of photographing this baby.

miss marley.

2009-07-20T16:06:00.000-07:00

One of my favorite girls in all the world. Daughter of one of my favorite friends in all the world. Marley was awesome for this 5 year old shoot. She did exactly what we wanted her to do, without a single complaint. THAT is success! :)

margaret lilley.

2009-06-07T12:03:00.000-07:00

Our newest addition. Oh how we love her.

lydia at one.

2009-05-19T13:52:00.000-07:00

This baby girl is ACTIVE! Her mommy Kristin and I had to just laugh and hope to capture something good. Neither of us could keep up. :) Doesn't she have the most gorgeous skin? Cute, cute little Lydia! * My last photoshoot for quite awhile. We'll see how I feel after this baby comes. :)

kasha.

2009-05-15T07:57:00.000-07:00

This is Kasha. Isn't she gorgeous? She and I share a dear fried, Sharene...who came along as the assistant. :) I can only imagine how beautiful the wedding will be.

karie jo.

2009-05-13T09:22:00.000-07:00

We had a lot of fun on this photoshoot. This cute girl is a cousin to some of my very favorites. Lots of laughing, experimenting, fun. Congratulations on your graduation, Karie!

sophie grace.

2009-04-24T11:25:00.000-07:00

Little Sophie Grace. 4 years old. The daughter of one of my dearest friends in the whole world. She was a champ yesterday. After a rough start, Sophie was all about the perfect head tilt, the perfect smile. I think she is absolutely beautiful!

my twins.

2009-04-07T19:33:00.001-07:00

Found this picture yesterday. I love it. I love them

L & G's girls.

2009-04-06T09:33:00.001-07:00

Laura (my little sister), Gunnar, and their sweet baby girls. Just got back from a trip to Washington to visit. It was just what I needed. I love these babies SO much.

meet jonathan.

2009-03-30T12:39:00.000-07:00

Jonathan Richard...newest addition to my cute friend Jillian's family. He was an angel for these pictures. Just looked around and slept. He looks just like his older sister Grace. I love it!

my boy.

2009-03-20T14:19:00.001-07:00

My little boy is now ten years old. Time has flown. I love him so much and think he is beautiful. He doesn't really like when I tell him that. :)

my sweet buddy Gavin.

2009-03-19T10:01:00.001-07:00

I love this baby boy. I love his mom, too. If it seems like there are lots of pictures of him on here...there are. Michelle has gotten pictures every 3 months for the first year of his life. Isn't that great? :)

my beautiful niece.

2009-02-05T13:47:00.001-08:00

My beautiful niece Annie. Just because I love her and I miss her and I think she's beautiful.

my girl at 3.

2009-01-13T12:51:00.000-08:00

I know, I know...too many. But she's mine. You have to humor me. :) This was my baby Molly on her third birthday last week. Oh man, I love this little girl.

the calls.

2009-01-10T18:01:00.000-08:00

I met up with this family right after Christmas, on a cold, cold, sunny day. :) They are friends of friends. Those kind of people that you know if you lived near eachother, you would be pals. Have you ever seen a cuter, chunkier, little boy?

the wirth family.

2009-01-09T14:10:00.000-08:00

Jessica is the gorgeous dark headed girl in the purple. We lived in the same ward as her family for years. I love them so much. I miss them. She decided with her sisters-in-law to get a family picture for their husbands parents for Christmas. Hope they liked them. :)

the big brother.

2009-01-08T08:23:00.000-08:00

Emma's big brother Ethan. I know...he's so cute. One of the cutest little boys ever, in my opinion. :)

a few more of Emma...

2008-12-22T09:53:00.000-08:00

Some more of this gorgeous baby. She is perfect in every way. I'll post her big brother tomorrow. :)

the young family.

2008-12-15T15:45:00.000-08:00

I really, really like this family. I am so glad we know them. I LOVE the kids, and have a special affinity for the littlest. They love eachother. They are nice to eachother. They are together as a family all the time. They are simple in the best way. I think quite often how I would like my family to be just a little more like theirs. REALLY good people.

the woodward family.

2008-12-08T09:17:00.000-08:00

My old across the street neighbors. Good, good people. :)

jake.

2008-12-04T12:25:00.000-08:00

SUCH a pleasant, nice kid. He laughed basically the whole time. Great sport, and good to his Mama. :)
