We took family photos for Mark's family while we were all together in Utah over the 4th of July. It was a fun time together celebrating his Grandma's 85th birthday. Lots of food, fun and games!

When can I go out and play, too?

Our Family

Admiring our baby, Lucy. Our family revolves around her when we're all together. Some just can't get enough of her. During those times she has learned to whack whoever is getting too close.

Bradley

This is my adorable nephew, Bradley. I love his auburn hair and BIG brown eyes. He has such a mild temperament and is the gentle giant (he's super tall compared to our peanut, Lucy, who is only 2 months younger but way smaller). We were able to visit him and his brother, Andrew for a week in October. Our children love going up to Park City to see them and play. They can play all day long without any problems. It's wonderful!

Jordyn

Jordyn was so sweet to work with. We were at a park where everyone was playing and she patiently suffered through watching them play while she posed for me. I loved catching the candid moments of her laughing or playing with the leaves or her ring.

1st Baby Photo Session

This was my first photo session with a baby. His name is Duncan and I love his sweet demeanor. He was so patient as we moved him into lots of new positions. He was born prematurely at about 24 weeks and is a living miracle. He was in the hospital for months and I remember feeling like I just couldn't do enough to help his wonderful mom who has three other children. She had wonderful support from her family and made it through those very difficult months but I still can't imagine experiencing all of the ups and downs she did. After being in the hospital for about three months she brought home a healthy baby boy who has no permanent damage as some premature babies can. He is joyful and has an infectious smile and I'm sure brings more joy to his family than any of us can comprehend.

Photography Business Born

I have finally decided to take the plunge and start a photography business. The thought has been brewing for almost three years now. I invested in a camera 18 months ago to better record our family's milestones and precious moments. I love taking pictures and capturing a moment that tells a story or evokes emotion.
