Tiffany's Winning Mile!

My friend Breanna called last week and asked me to take pictures at the Make a Wish Foundation's wish for Tiffany Searle, a nine year old who is unable to move and her one wish was to "run." So, Make a Wish got BYU athletes and the local community, including Tiffany's family and friends, together for a mile run in her honor. It was such a special night, I had never seen anything like it - more that 500 people showed up! This beautiful girl was grinning from ear to ear all night, it was so special - the best night! And it was topped off by a special guest.

Much more to come! I was so honored to be able to share this night with Tiffany!

Photo Outtakes

I love it when I catch funny faces when on a photo shoot. James and Stephanie were hilarious - James was telling jokes the whole time. Here are a few of the many faces of James.

I also loooove this one we took during the baby Morgan session - big sister LaShay made this face just at the right moment! So funny!

We have a busy weekend coming up - I was asked to shoot photos for a Make a Wish Foundation event. Stay tuned for that! And I'm going to see our friend Jason Cosmo perform - mom and I are super excited, we've been hearing about Jason's show for a while and can't wait to see it! Have a beautiful weekend!

Cache Valley Winter

I have to say that this winter has been beautiful, and as I look back at my past seven winters in the valley I don't think I ever really stopped to notice. I got a chance to do just that when I got to finish up my time photographing Kyle. He wanted to transition from bearded Kyle to non-bearded Kyle and document the transformation. So, we made our way out in the lovely weather to grab some shots near the awesome, valley-surrounding mountains. I finished these up today and I'm really happy with them. We want to thank Kyle for being so much fun to work with - he's been so generous with his time and friendship. He is definitely one of the nicest guys we've ever had the chance to call friend. Thanks Kyle!

I do, however, want you to know that no matter how much I say the winters in this valley are picturesque, it does not mean that I prefer them. I just wanted to clear that up.

A Few More

I've been pretty excited about James & Stephanie's pictures - I love them. Here are a few more.

Got my kitchen and front room all cleaned today - I love it when I walk into a clean apartment!
Is today Tuesday? I think I need a vacation.

James & Stephanie: Preview

I'm so excited for these pictures and this wedding! I had so much fun with James and Stephanie today in the freezing weather, it was awesome! Enjoy!

What's that? You want to see their cute faces? Okay.

250th Post

For our No.250 post I decided to show you a few more pics of baby Morgan! I finished those up and now I'm moving on to Kyle's no-beard pictures. I also have the first engagement shots of my wedding season tomorrow. Stephanie and James have my March 18th spot, but don't worry there are many more open dates - so if you want wedding, family or pictures of everyday life - just let me know! You can also head to my website to check out my portfolio - by the way I have a new website coming soon! So excited!! I decided that I need something a little more professional. 

We hope that everyone has a great weekend!

Makes Me Smile :)

I love you, I love you, I love you!

 

Been sick. Not fun. Miss the world. My hubby is the best - he goes out at 3 a.m. to get Gatorade for his sickly wife. Loves that man.

Dad and His Buddy!

We went to my cousin Tyson's oldest son's birthday party last weekend - it's always awesome to get to spend time with family. Dad and Tyson's youngest, Ryker, became great friends at this party. He walked over to dad, put his arms out and dad picked him up - but from then on dad wasn't able to put him down or give him to anybody, he only wanted dad. I think the reason babies love dad so much is because he treats them like equals - I always remember dad talking to us like we were tall, even when we weren't. I love that!

I love my dad and I'm so looking forward to the time when I get to see him with my babies!

Get ready for it...

Kyle - without his beard! Shot these this weekend - we've had so much fun taking pictures of Kyle!

More to come!

My Husband the History Teacher!

Matt started student teaching this semester. I know he will do a great job - I think he was born to be a teacher. So, he starts actually teaching today - so wish him luck! I love this man - he's an amazing husband. I'm so proud of him! This is a perfect portrait of him with one of his favorite ties - he's an avid collector.

p.s. I love this little half-smile he has in this picture - so cute!
