Galen + Kim: Married Part I

Time has seriously flown by...I swear I posted on this here blog just yesterday...apparently not!  So I'm excited and a little nervous to post pics of my first wedding.  Thankfully my brother and sister-in-law had enough faith in me for theirs to by my first one.  I'm really happy with how the pictures turned out and I hope you like them too!  Part one is at the temple, where they got married...Part two will be the reception.  Stay tuned:)

I love these next pics.  To the right are the bride and groom with their "little" brothers.  Galen's bro happens to be a giant!

I am simply swamped with editing, sessions to shoot, my kids to play with, a messy house to be cleaned, and a bed that is calling my name! Where has the summer gone?! Hurray for shooting my first wedding ever! It was a blast:) And a couple of my most favorite friends and their new addition...More from both these shoots to come!

Meghan + Justin: One Year Anniversary

I was so excited for this session because I was taking pictures at their one year anniversary mark. What a great idea! I think when people think of "family pictures", we think we have to have kids in order to get them, but why not remembering what's like before children?! I wish my hubby and I had pictures for our one year mark...that would have been fun to look back on. I had such a great time with Meghan and Justin. There were hilarious, relaxed and I could just feel how much they loved each other. It was a pleasure spending the evening with them and I LOVE the location they chose. I'd never been there for a session, but I'm so thankful that fate stepped in...we were able to capture so many great shots!

growing so fast

love this little girl.  I had the privilage of taking her pictures when she was a newborn.  You can see them here and here.  Now miss Avonlea is 4 months old and it's amazing how fast they grow.  Big sister Bella came along for some sister pictures too.  Man, what a gorgeous girl!  It was such a fun session sitting under a shady tree on a nice warm sunny day with these lovely girls.  Thanks Serina for making the trek, I hope you love them.  Your girls are simply beautiful:)

C family fun

The business of the season is upon me...and I love it!  I did a session with this great family last weekend.  I go to church with them and so it was nice knowing a little about them before their session:)  Kirsten, the oldest is headed off to Southern State University and her mom wanted family pics before the big move.  Great idea!  I hope you like them Karen.  It was my pleasure...

I have many more sessions to post, so stay tuned.  I'm also going to be doing mini sessions I think the second Saturday in October.  Email me if you are interested:
