June Bug

Well, not really! She is actually a little May bug! My friend, Krista, had her baby before I could get these beautiful maternity photos edited...and before June! She is so gorgeous! I am so lucky that this gal has helped me with overwhelming shoots, given me creative direction, and even helps me get those tough kiddos to smile. She is amazing and I hope to have many future creative moments with her. Thank you, Krista and congratulations!!

 

Rice Family

The Rice Family is pretty much my favorite family ever! Koryn is my new prop junkie, who is always prepared. Plus she is gorgeous! So is sweet Capri. Don't you think?! After searching and asking everyone I knew, I ended up making the teepee... it made all the difference for the shoot! Capri loved reading her books in the little nook, gave us some shade, and protection from the Idaho wind. Good luck to Mommy while she finishes her nursing degree and the move down to Utah. I will be sad to see you all go, call me and I will gladly come to St. George to take next year's pictures!

Spring Beauty

Sometimes it feels so nice to take my camera out for just myself. To capture the beauty that catches my eye, most of the time unnoticed by other's who are too busy. There are no demands, no time constraints, or subjects that have to be coerced to smile. I can take as long as I want trying to get the perfect frame and lighting. It is like a breath of fresh air, to be just me and my camera. My window to the wide, open world we live. And now God's beauty becomes something I can call all my own.

Spring always makes me feel this way... the world waking up. Showing that life does exist in the warmth of the sun! We all can breathe a bit deeper, smile a little bigger, and enjoy our days a little more. I love that no matter where I am; in a bustling city, on a farm in the country, or in my own backyard, I can find natural beauty anywhere. Framed just right in my camera, you would have no idea where it was taken!

And that's why I fell in love with photography to begin with. It is refreshing going back every now and then. :)

Baptism Beauty

This sweet girl is so excited to be baptized this weekend! Sadie has such a cute personality. She and her mom made me laugh all throughout the session and brightened my day! 

I hope she remembers how special this day really is!
