Prom 2017

 Ah, prom...This shoot brought me right back to my own prom...I remember the sparkly lavender dress, the (very big) up do-thank goodness that trend has died down a bit- I remember going to dinner, driving to the dance....and then waiting in line for an hour for stiff, generic, photos. What a fun idea to hire a photographer for your group and get some outdoor shots, group shots, etc. These kids are not only bright, they are also very musically talented. In fact, they missed their actual prom due to a band competition held in Seattle. They competed and won first place! They decided they would create their own fun, formal evening the following weekend though, and I'm so glad they asked me to be a part of it. 

We laughed, we wedding crashed, we got a few sore knees, but I hope they had as much fun as I did taking their photos! Thank you prom crew! CONGRATULATIONS!!

W&T Wedding

Congratulations to this fun,beautiful couple on their wedding! 

 I love this photo! I think my favorite part is the expression on mom's (pink dress) face. Look at all those cameras up and smiles from friends and family!

 The beautiful bride and bridesmaids!

 ....and then the guys ;) They came up with this pose all on their own!

This was such a fun experience for me. It's always a privilege to be with a couple on their wedding day. This couple was no exception. They are laid back, kind and fun with lots of humor mixed in! I am so excited for them and their life together. Congratulations W&T!

the "R" family

 I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! As for us, we headed for some sun and found it in St. George, UT! Lucky for us, my sister's family also came to visit. Can you believe the beauties they all are? 5 girls! 

 I loved getting to spend a little time with my nieces. They are all grown up now and busy being awesome at their many activities and interests, but I remember when each one was born. They are so much fun and amazingly beautiful!

These guys are pretty awesome too! Thanks "R" family!

Great to be EIGHT!

 This handsome little boy has my heart. It could have something to do with the fact that he is my son. In some ways it is unreal to me that he is eight, in others I feel like we have fought to get here.

 He is such a sweet, tender boy who continues to withstand the challenges life has thrown at him in his young age. I admire his strength and his desire to follow God. He has chosen to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints this fall and we could not be more proud of him. 

 Poor kid, has a photographer for a mom that makes him don a full suit and go walk around in the 90 degree weather taking photos. I think he secretly enjoyed it though- I know I enjoyed some one on one time with him.

 It's great to be eight, kiddo! We are so proud of you!

                           

The "F" family

 Although I miss my home in Washington, I really love living in Idaho because it means we get overnight visits from our Washington friends and family! We love this family and have had fun watching their family grow. We couldn't let this visit go by without grabbing a few updated family photos.

 Have you ever seen such adorable kids?!

It was fun giving them a little tour of our place and stopping to take some photos along the way.

 The boys were in heaven when they learned they could throw endless rocks in the "river"

This beautiful girl caught a power nap and then was all smiles for photos with her mama! 

Thanks "F" family for stopping along the way and staying with us! We loved having you here!
