Robyn & Tyson - Engaged

Love this girl. Loving this guy the more I get to know him! These two are so cute together. So happy and in love. It was infectious just being around them. I had the best time! The only hard part was getting them to stop laughing! If you can call that hard;). So much fun!

Robyn and Tyson have known each other for a few years. They met in Cedar City and have been friends, just friends for awhile. Then last December something changed... Tyson kissed her and she realized she kinda liked him. From there things just kept getting more serious and here we are getting ready for the wedding.

Our day taking pictures was so much fun. They drove all the way from Richfield and were ready for a good time. And a good time was definitely had. The poses generally started out like this...

Laughing, and more laughing, and even more laughing.

They just looked at each other and smiled. I of course was oohing and awing, which made them laugh some more.

Then, they would calm and I would get these fabulous pictures like this...

I am seriously so happy for you two! This has been the most fun and it is just beginning!

Little Rex

I thought it was about time I shared some of the pictures that have been keeping me so busy over the last few weeks. I have been so busy and I couldn't be happier about it. I have gotten to know the best people and I've held the sweetest little ones... just like this little guy who is only 5 days old! Can you believe that? I was in heaven, to say the least. He was a complete angel. Hilary (his mom) told me that this is the normal routine, lots of sleep during the day and lots of awake time in the night. Gotta love newborns! And I really do, especially when I get to stare at their gorgeous pictures and don't have to wake up with them in the night! Ha!

I hope you enjoy these little peeks. I know I do!

Kaci & Cameron - Engagements

I met Kaci and Cameron downtown for their engagement session. I had talked to Kaci a number of times on the phone and was looking forward to putting a face to her happy voice. I was pleasantly surprised. She and Cameron were dressed so fun and they were ready to have a good time. And that's exactly what we had.

Kaci and Cam are high school sweethearts. I love hearing that. So cute and happy together. Ready to make this commitment to each other and look forward to the time they are going to share together. Seriously they are so cute. I hope you guys are ready for these pictures, cause this is just the beginning...

Brown Family

This session was a hard one to pull together. Stephanie warned me that it would be hard to find a time to get everyone together, but I was sure we could make something work. As the scheduling began I learned that she was right. Between everyone in an extended family and my crazy schedule, finding a day was proving to be hard.

She called me after being with them one day and said "Ok, we found a day. I hope it works for you because it is our last chance to get everyone together before my nephew leaves on his mission." Talk about pressure! But I was available! Sweet!

Then we had the unfortunate weather to convince to cooperate. Finding a place for a large group can be challenging, finding a place indoors can be even more so. The forecast wasn't good. But I told Stephanie to hold tight, because you never know what the hour will bring. It wasn't looking good. I didn't know what to do. I was talking to my mom the very day of our scheduled session and told her our dilemma. "Do you have any ideas?" She did! Why not just have them come to her house? Uh, duh! That was perfect! That way if the weather is bad, there are places that we can take them inside, and if it clears up we can take them in her beautiful yard! Sweet!

I called Stephanie and told her my plan, she was completely on board and we had a plan! As you can see the weather did clear up by the time of our session and we were able to be outside! Thank you weather. Wish you would clear up for my own personal benefit. I need more sunshine and less snow at the moment. So glad we were able to make this session work, it was so fun meeting this family!

I thought it might be fun to share another before and after. I took this at a wedding luncheon. This little girl is to die for cute! She found herself alone at the dessert table and just couldn't help herself. I just couldn't stop her. She finished off the cake and seemed pretty pleased with herself. Her mom wasn't too mad either. Who could be at this face?

Beckham ~ 2 years

Do you love watching this kid grow up as much as I do? Every time we get together to take pictures I worry because I think we can't possibly do any better than the time before and every time I am so happy with how great they turn out. I guess I shouldn't be surprised... this kid is so freakin' cute! His smile is contageous and we had a lot of fun, even in the rain!
