[ ryan and malissa: this one's for you ]

I've known (and been good friends with) Ryan and Malissa since high school. We've had some really fun times together, so I was really excited to do their pictures! (not to mention- look at how photogenic they are!) We had all sorts of fun trying out different things... keeping kiddos happy- and being eaten ALIVE by mosquitos! I was in LOVE with Malissa's shoes. You can never have a bad day when you are wearing red heels! :)

[Recent stuff]: J and B

Eighteen months... and just about the cutest little stinker boy on the planet! Little Brodey is so full of spunk and energy...AND...he can stay up later than me! We shot these for his daddy for father's day.




And... one of my all time favorites!

[recent stuff]: Conference Center

Recently, I was asked to be a photographer and capture our stake's part in celebrating the dedication of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Youth from around the valley participated in this event... Here are some pictures from the rehersal in the conference center- it was so awesome!

And um... yes... I was the one that tripped down the stairs. In front of everyone. Its was definitely one of my more finer moments. ;)

From the stage... kids getting ready to sing...


Waving flags


The end of the rehersal...

[the journey]

Im so excited about this new blog! For me, this blog will be a documentation of the journey. Its always humbling to look back- to see how far you've come- and the wonderful people you meet along the way. A photo... its about that moment- because you never really know what life has in store for you next- and thats what makes life exciting!
