{Ken + Megan} Salt Lake Temple - 4-23-11

I had THE best time with this darling young couple and their families last weekend! The weather turned out to be absolutely PERFECT for a wedding and everyone had a blast! The Temple was surrounded by its beautiful spring flowers and blooming trees, which made for some VERY beautiful pics!!



I'm so glad I was able to photograph Ken & Megan on their special day... there is nothing like a temple wedding and this one was certainly no exception! Just watching the expressions on each of their faces as they exited the Temple was priceless! (*a deer in headlights look!) ;) I know they made the right choice by marrying each other and definitely by being sealed in the Temple for time and all eternity! I am so excited for these two just beginning their journey together...



This family made me feel so welcome and were so kind! I appreciate them and their hospitality while I shoved my camera in their faces!! ...and thank you, Mr. Andersen, for picking me out of the crowd to guide me toward your family at the Temple!! I KNEW that yellow umbrella would come in handy!! ;)

Finally, we meet!

Oh this beautiful little girl just lives too far away! She belongs to a couple of our best friends and I FINALLY got to meet her last week! It only took 7 months... :/

I am so glad it worked out and that I could photograph her while they were in town! What a little sweetie! She did such a great job, even with that scary tutu surrounding her!

Thanks Chris & Britt! Your princess is darling!! Enjoy!!

Daddy needed some new pics for his office, so we got mommy and baby together in a few cute shots! I love how these two interact!! :) You can tell she sure loves her mama!!

Cupcakes & birthdays were made for each other!!

My little girl turned 3 this month, so I took her on a special date to Vintage Cupcake Co. for a birthday treat and pics!! I think I LOVE VCC a little too much! :) Emma sure had a great time and enjoyed her rainbow cupcake and blue lollipop!!

Happy Birthday my sweet little MIMI!!! :)

We love you so much!!

Family + Birthday = Picture Day!!

It's so weird to think how much time has passed us by! This cute mommy and I used to sit together at lunch in junior high, and now we have our own little girls... I'm so glad she asked me to photograph her cute family! They are a photographer's dream to work with! Even though these little sweeties are so young, they did such a great job during their session! It must be all the practice since mommy makes them get their pics done ALL the time!! ;) Thanks, Patsy! Enjoy!! ....and now for the birthday girl!!

Happy Birthday Miss Kambree!!

:) She is turning 3 in just a few days!!

April Mini Sessions!!

I'm so glad I was asked to shoot at this location! It took a week and a half to secure, but it finally worked out and was SO worth it! They gave me enough time to open up a few last-minute mini sessions to three lucky ducks!! They snatched up these appointments in less than 4 hours of me posting about them on Facebook!! I absolutely LOVE the images we got! Enjoy!! This wonderful little family needed some updated family portraits! I'm so glad they came out! I seriously think these kiddos would make EXCELLENT catalog models for kids' clothing! They were AWESOME...and SO cute!

Such a pretty mama!! Thanks, Tiff!!

Here is one of our senior studs!! Poor guy had a cold, but came out for his mom to get these senior pics done!! I do say, these turned out GREAT!! Sick or not!!!

Oh Miss Sindi!! I'm so proud of you!

Sindi came out to get her pics done to mark her reaching her goal weight! She has gotten her life back the healthy way...with diet and exercise! You look AMAZING and I know you FEEL amazing by the way you can't stop smiling!! Such an inspiration!!

And our last, but certainly not least... Dalton! His senior session is the reason we booked this wonderful location and boy am I glad his mom called me! She had a great idea! I love how his senior pics turned out!!

What a great afternoon with such awesome people!! I love all the images we got at the Davinci Academy and look forward to shooting there again in the future! A big thanks to the school and my sister/assistant, Jacqueline, for helping us get these great pics for everyone!!

...and a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who came out to get their pics done!! They each have a special reason to celebrate!! I couldn't be happier for all of you and your great accomplishments!! Thanks, again!
