Park Walkin' with Jen & Ezra!

My sister-in-law has had a brilliant idea. She has made a blog that will document the 30+ parks in the San Mateo, Calif. area. She saw a need for a guide to these parks letting parents know what to expect and what kinds of fun things are waiting their for them and their little ones. So, she has decided to do that for the parents of the bay area! How cool is that? You can take a look at her blog here. 

I think it's wonderful that she has decided to do this! What a great way for her, Talin and Ezra to explore the amazing places around their home! I must say that I'm jealous that they have such beautiful weather year-round. Good job Jen! I'm so excited to read more, and hopefully come with you on some of your adventures when we come to visit - which, hopefully, will be some time soon!

And I had to share this adorable picture from her blog - I love it!

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.
