Emily + Casey

It was a gorgeous spring day at the Draper, Utah temple.  I've never been here, let alone photographed, and it was simply breathtaking!  We are so happy for you, Em and Casey.  Your engagements were a long time ago (lol), you have only grown more beautiful! Thanks for including me in this amazing day.

Lakota & Jeff's big day

I say big day because it was today - in fact, the reception ended only 2 hours ago.  But a winning trampoline shot has people begging for immediate previews, so here it is:

What a bride! 

Tonight, the picture stuck in my head was of this nephew enjoying his frozen yogurt:

And, lest you be disappointed, here is one perfect sneak of the main event:

Baby, Baby

We caught this little beauty at 7 weeks old, which I consider the perfect age for baby shots.  They're starting to look a little like themselves, their eyes are clear and usually focused, and they are still teeny enough to be adorable.  I also think mom & dad are the perfect baby backdrop, so this darling family was just ideal!

My New Brother

My baby sister is getting married, and Joshua is just perfect for her.  I hope these photos capture their fun, their vibrance, and their silliness.  My mom will be proud that they didn't make faces in every photo (that seems to be their m.o.!) but we snuck one in for her.  Welcome to the family, Joshua!

Olivia

Olivia visited from California for spring break, and we took the opportunity for 8th grade graduation photos.  Her photogenic face was a treat!  Again, Grandma & Grandpa's garden provided the perfect backdrop.

Ella turns ONE!

We had fun at Ella's house, sneaking in some photos during her family's afternoon routine.  I am feeling increasingly confident in my ability to find good light almost anywhere - and we did it today!  Happy Birthday darling Ella!

You wouldn't know it from these perfectly posed photos, but Ella is a little mover - we fought long and hard for these perfect shots - got about 30 out of 300 that weren't "action" shots.
