Brynlee & Harlie {child photography}

Yeah, I know.  These two are like the cutest kids ever!! I know I'm bias because they are my nieces but come on... you know you have too agree too.  I had so much fun on this shoot.  Brynlee could be a little model already with all of her cutesy poses. I have to say she might be the easiest 4 year old I have ever photographed.  Harlie on the other hand was a little stinker! She was on the move the entire time so it was a bit of a challenge for an 8 month pregnant lady to chase her down.  Brynlee is a great big sister and really tried to help me corral Harlie which was not easy... Lucky for me both these girls look good from any angle so we got some amazing shots.  Love you girls!

I love these images... The photo on the right is of Harlie's "trick".  Whenever her big sister does a cartwheel or somersault this is what Harlie pulls out. Pretty good right?

See... Here they are on the move.

Sneak Peak!

Here is another little sneak peak of a fun session I just had.  Are these not the cutest girls you have EVER seen?  Definitely more to come...

Taimani Family {family photography}

Finally, after a few reschedules due to this crazy annoying Utah weather, I was able to meet up with the Taimani family. My good friend Nia set up this session and I am so glad that she did.  This was my third shoot with this lovely girl and I always have so much fun with her.  I first met her working at East High where I had the privileged of seeing her nearly everyday and I was able to taking her senior portraits which of course turned out beautifully.  Now, since she's a college girl at Weber, I really miss seeing and hearing her.  For real, she is probably one of the loudest people you will ever meet but that's one of the reasons why I love her so much.  Thanks for letting me photograph your beautiful family!

Tyler, McKenzei & Tylee {family photography}

Tyler and McKenzei are getting married in May and I could not be more excited!  Tyler is my husbands brother and we have just been waiting for this marriage to finally happen.  We have all loved McKenzei since she started hanging around the family, especially Tyler's little girl Tylee.  They make the cutest family ever which makes for some amazing photos.  I am usually able to pick out my favorite images from a session but somehow I am in love with all of these photos.  Congratulations again Tyler and Kenzei; good luck picking out your favorites... I think you'll need it!

Sneak Peak {family photography}

I am still working on editing this shoot but I wanted to show this one photo now because it is just too gorgeous not to share.  More to come soon...

The Andersons {family photography}

Wow! What a beautiful family the Anderson's are.  Not only are they a good lookin' bunch, they were also one of the nicest families I have had the pleasure of working with.  Even with some cold temperatures, which resulted in completely frozen toes, and seriously bright sun, no for real it was blinding at times, we were still able to get some great images that have already made my top 10 list of favorite photos for the new year.  Yes I know it is only February but I really do think that some of these photos will stand out above the rest as the year goes on.  Anyway, thank you for letting me photograph your families gorgeousness... After how giddy I was upon going through all your photos it was totally worth freezing my toes off!

The Anderson kids instantly knew how to work it in front of the camera.  The boys were looking all GQ and the girls...

The girls had the most amazing blue eyes ever!

FYI, the Anderson's oldest son just barely left on his LDS mission so, be on the look out for his individual photos coming soon...

Breanna {maternity photography}

I don't know how it happened but, I really do have the most amazing friends anyone could ask for.  Take Breanna for example.  We have been friends since like the 4th grade when we started playing soccer together.  Infact, that soccer team is where a lot of the close friendships I still have today actually came about.  Anyway, Brea and I have always clicked.  She is such a genuine nice person, is always up for anything, is super fun to be around, and to top it all off she thinks I'm funny.  Most of the time.  Along with her being just an all around great person, she is also gorgeous.  Yes, even now when she is so far along with her second baby boy, she looks absolutely stunning.  I seriously hope I look this good when I am expecting... in the far, far future. 

Thanks for always being so amazing Brea, I love you!   

I told you she was up for anything!  I asked her to lay on down in the snow and she just went for it without even questioning why.  I'm glad she did too because I love how this image turned out. 
Brea is already an amazing mother to her first little boy, Xander.  Her next little guy is so lucky to be getting such a good mom and big brother. 

Xander really is such a stud.  Seriously, this kid is so easy going and still full of energy.  He was basically down for anything we wanted to do, just like his mom.  Even when he was so cold that his little lips were starting to turn purple and he was shivering like crazy he still had a big old grin on his face; just happy to be there.

 

I am pretty sure this next photo is one of my favorite images ever.  There is just something about it for me.  So, on that note I will finally end this enormous post.
