Sweethearts Dance

I cannot say enough about this group. I mean, don't they just look like fun people to be around? I can tell you, they are!! I had the best time with them. Really. They were kind, hilarious, humble, sweet to each other (and me), smart and level-headed. These teenagers are awesome and I'm so lucky I got to spend my saturday night with them :)

Morgan Baptism

 Sweet, smart, fun, spunky, Morgan has made the decision to be baptized! 

 She is a beautiful young lady and it was fun to walk around the temple grounds with her and get to know her a little bit better.

 She loves to read and play with her animals on her family's farm.

 She loves to be goofy and have a good time!

 ...and I really loved her sparkly, silver shoes!

Thank you, Morgan! You are a wonderful girl and I am excited for all the future holds for you!

Thanksgiving Break

 I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I sure did. We had lots of family in town, lots of late nights staying up playing games, way too many pieces of pie and lots of photos to show for it. One of the highlights of the weekend was getting to take photos of this family! They too had extended family in town and took advantage of the opportunity to get everyone in a photo together. 

 This is a great family! I came away from this shoot feeling like I gained a bunch of friends! I loved watching their interactions with one another and how they handled different things. It's hard to get everyone together, coax reluctant children to smile, get the dog to follow commands with so many distractions, but they handled it all like champs! There were smiles and laughter throughout the whole session.

 All the human grandkids with grandma...and, of course, the furry grandchild! 

4 children, spouses and 12 beautiful, sweet, grandkids! That is something to be proud of!

Thank you!

Mandy

 The other night I had a chance to spend some time with Mandy. This beautiful girl is smart, level headed, musically talented and ready for the next steps in her life. 

 She plays both the saxophone and the clarinet. Their high school band has traveled to compete and took 1st place last year.

 I love Senior photo shoots. I love getting to chat with the Seniors and hear about their plans for the future. It is such an exciting, yet nerve-racking time of life. There are so many options and roads ahead. I am so excited for Mandy. I know she has a bright future ahead of her.

Thank you, Mandy!
