Cassell Family | Salt Lake City Utah Family Photography

Now this is my type of extended family session. So relaxed and chill! We just totally hung out and had a great time. Everyone was so candid and just enjoyed being with each other. Couldn't have been better! You can totally tell that the little guy is the center of everyone's world. Love it! For more of this cute family click here. 

Babcock Family | Salt Lake City Utah Family Photography

This family is one of my favorite clients. With all the sessions we have done we still find a way to come up with new and fun ideas and I still have so many more for them...I was so excited how this sessions turned out. I am not usually a big "dressed up" type of gal but I think this could have not been more perfect with the location. Doesn't it just look so fancy! And it couldn't have been better to go with the gloomy weather...and FREEZING temperatures...brrr...I was actually so surprised the kids lasted as long as they did because I was froze by the time we got done. But they did great! Click here to check out the rest of the session. 

Piper | Cedar City Utah Newborn Photography

Oh how I love this shot! So much I made a big print of it for myself. Isn't she just adorable! And she was such a good little peanut we did all sorts of fun stuff with her at her newborn session. She was a total doll. I am going to let the images speak for themselves because she is just too cute for words...To see more click here. 

Gass Family | Salt Lake City Utah Family Photography

 So you want an out-of-the-box session? Something really different...how about we go to 7-11? Great! This session was seriously so fun!!! I just love to do something different sometimes. To be thrown in a situation that challenges me and makes me do something I wouldn't do at an everyday session. And this session was just that! We were in a slightly sketchy location full of hobos, taking family pictures while we enjoyed slurpees, and actually froze our buns off while it snowed off and on. And I am so excited with the way it turned out! I edited them a little different than I normally do to give them a little bit more old school vintage look and I am loving the colors. Wished that the internet really showed how cool the colors are...oh well you get the idea. One of these days I am going to become an internet genius and will figure out how to make everything exactly the same as the way I see it...because it is so different than my everyday stuff. Its so fun to do something a little different...to see more click here.

Capri | Cedar City Utah Newborn Photography

I have been so excited to meet this little lady. Her momma owns Swanky Stitches (the super cute beanies that we had at the Grand Opening) so I knew that the session would be packed full of super cute stuff. And she did not disappoint. So many cute little baby beanies! And the little lady was so so good and totally let us fold her up, pose her, bend her this way and that. And I am so excited with how everything turned out. And for those of you who can't get enough of these little beanies. There are a bunch of super cute ones in my new studio that are for sale if you want to come and check them out! But to see the rest of the session click here. 

Lincoln | Salt Lake City Utah Child Photography

How handsome is this guy? And look at those baby blues!!! They are amazing! This little guy has got to be one of my favorites. I always get excited to see him. He is so handsome and has the CUTEST little personality. And mom and me always have a fun time chatting while we wait and see what silly thing this guy has got up his sleeve. This little session he was cracking us up the whole time. He is just so stinkin cute! Check out the rest of his session by clicking here. 

Harris Family | Salt Lake City Utah Family Photography

This was such a fun bunch! Despite less than ideal weather at the beginning of the session, everyone still had a great time. They kept me laughing the whole time. I just love to be around families that just have so much fun together. I hope that as my family and kids get older that we will be able to have that same thing. Luckily about half way through the weather decided to cooperate and we got some great stuff. I am so excited with the colors of this session and how everything turned out. And seriously, don't all of them look amazing? To see more click here. 

Twitchell Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

More fun families! I have been so lucky this year to be able to meet so many fun people. This family was super cute and I was just loving all the little kids. The cowboy, the diva, the comedian, the shy guy, the big sis, and silly one, and the little lady who wanted nothing to do with me...They were all adorable.This was a super fun shoot and I am so excited with how it turned out. To see more click here...

Warren Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

I am just loving this session, and this family for that matter. I am so glad that they hired me...They were so fun and we had such a great time. Despite a little bit of cold weather, everyone was having so much fun and I am so excited with how this session turned out. They just really enjoyed each other and I think it shows. No stress about the cold, or the wind, just a family enjoying a fun morning together. I really can't say it as well as the images can...so to see the rest of the session click here. 

Decker Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

How cute are these two little love birds? These two and their little cutie pie kids are definitely some of my favorites. One of my favorite things about being a photographer is that I have been able to make so many great friendships with my clients...and this is one of my favorites...I just love this gal! She is such a great friend and we always have a great time whenever we are together. We got together for a quick minute to shoot some new family shots and I love how these turned out. Don't you love the colors!!! So cute...to see the rest click here...

Stark Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

Looking at these pictures makes me long for summer! I am so over the cold already and it has just barely begun...the day of this session it was SO hot! And I would much rather be sweating right now that shivering right now...I want my flipflops back...but I am super excited that I am almost done with all the editing for the year and my holiday vacation will soon officially begin...yay! So if you want to enjoy a little sunshine, even just in photos, check out this cute family and their session by clicking here. They were super cute and we had a great time!

Swindlehurst Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

What do you get when you have freezing cold temperatures, snow you hadn't planned on, and no time to reschedule because one of your favorite friends and clients now lives 10 hours away? Ta-da!!! All we needed was one cute family one so we threw my new couch out in the snow (isn't it cute by the way) and shot for about five minutes to get what we needed. I can't wait for their next session...with a new little person on the way we will be able to get lots more time to be together...and I have to share a few snapshots of Mr. K and his silly "smile" face...gotta love it! 

Decker Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

What a day this session was! The weather was terrible! I was supposed to do a whole bunch of sessions but because the weather was so crummy everyone else chose to reschedule. But this family had people who came all the way from Alaska, so rescheduling was not an option. So we hope for the best and made it happen. And luckily we got good enough weather for just a few minutes to get some great family shots. This was a great family and I had so much fun braving the weather with them.

Roundy Family | Cedar City Family Photography

This little family was on my last Saturday shooting of the year! And it was a great way to start off the day. They are a super fun bunch and kept me laughing the whole time. I especially loved when it was the babies turn to get her picture taken and I jokingly said, "Let's just sit her in the snow" and her dad totally did!!! And she totally stayed there and didn't cry or anything. What a good little lady. And don't you think they all looked great, and this location was PERFECT! Don't you love all the texture and colors! Aaaaa-mazing! I can hardly wait to see this printed out on the metallic finish! It will be so awesome! So check out the rest of the session by clicking here. 

Burgess Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

I am so so in love with this session. The lighting was just amazingly perfect! It is like everything was just so sunkissed! I honestly, barely edited this at all. Like pretty much nothing. Don't you just want to be in this session? Ahhhh....and this family was so fun and so perfect! I've said it before, and I will say it again, but I just LOVE little boys...they are so unpredictable, and could basically care less about family pictures, which pretty much makes the most perfect combination for something great to happen. And I loved that mom and dad were just so chill and enjoyed the moment just let it happen. Good job guys! I know its not easy...but wow it was worth it. I might just make a collage of this session for myself...I just am so in love with it...you have to check it out! You have to have to have to...so right now, click here!!!!

Pierce Family | Cedar City Utah Family Mini Sessions

Ummm...so I really considered sneaking this guy home with me! How freakin cute is he? All the chub and blue eyes, I just loved it. And with my own chubby blue eyed guy, they could be like matching fatty babies. It would be so cute. And I would be the skinniest person alive from carrying them around all day. I already get a great workout carrying around my guy, imagine if I had two of the cutest chubbiest babies out there on my hip! Oh how I love em! I think a baby requirement that they all have some rolls on them!!! And this guy is so so chill! Which I wasn't surprised because his whole family was super sweet and just so easy to photograph. This was like the perfect perfect perfect session. It couldn't have been any better, except maybe if I would have had lots and lots more time to keep shooting them! They were so fun and I had a great time!!! You must check out the rest of the session...so click here!!! 

Burns Family | Cedar City Utah Family Mini Sessions

Oh man! How cute is this? Such little divas!!! I was so excited to see their big poofy pettiskirts jump out of their truck when they pulled out to their session. These little girlies are some of the cutest. They live just across the street from us and my guy is a super big fan of them. In fact he is such a big fan that at preschool he had to draw a picture of all of the things that he was grateful for and both of these ladies made the list. I, on the other hand, did not. When my hubby asked him where I was, he said, "well um...mom can be this one" and pointed to a one-eyed brown blob on the paper. Awesome! Good to know I'm appreciated! But back to this cute family. They were super fun and did such a great job! Don't you love big sis's red hair! Oh I love red hair...like love, love, love it! I wished we had a chance for red hair with one of our kids. But hey, let's be real here, we don't even have a chance of any hair. Dang genes! But to see more of this super cute family click here. 

Allen Family | Salt Lake City Utah Family Photography

Okay seriously...I love this girl! I get giddy at the thought of seeing her. Because she seriously is like the cutest little funniest thing. And she does stuff that I just can't get enough of her. I never try to get her do what I want, because I know that whatever little thing she makes up is going to be soooo much better! And this time, wow, look at her! She is like a little snow princess (good job mom!).  And speaking of snow...look at this little ladies eyes (and moms, and dads, and baby brothers for that matter) they are like ice!!! Amazing!!! And though this was another freezing cold session, this family rocked it! I am just so in love with the colors. So awesome! To see all of it click here. 

Bulloch Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

I always get excited to meet with this little family. They are one of the nicest families. And if you know the mom of this little family, you totally love her. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I just always love to visiting with her. And aren't her boys just adorable? They have the funnest little personalities and always keep me smiling through the session. And I am so excited that in just a few short months they are going to have a little girlie addition to their family...isn't it great? I can hardly wait to see her! But for now enjoy the boys and their mommy...must click here! 

Griffiths Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

These little guys are so cute...and even though this entire session was windy and FREEZING, they did a great job! We just kept wiping noses and offering bribes...You gotta do that sometimes right? These little guys Mom and Dad love antiques so I am always excited to see what we are going to end up doing. It is always great! This location was awesome and everything just turned out great. Can't wait until next time! Check out the rest of this session...just click here. 

Rigtrup Family | Cedar City Utah Family Mini Sessions

This was such a fun session for me...the oldest brother though, I am not so sure. He wasn't really feeling the whole picture thing...which I understand, he had to miss basketball practice to be there. And really what teenage boy loves family photos? But this whole family was great and kept me laughing the whole time! It was like a little glimpse into the future. I just love being the mom of boys. I swear they are always making you laugh!

Clove Family | Cedar City Utah Family Mini Sessions

How cute is this little bunch? And can I just say how much I love the little girlies with their alternate vests. So stinkin cute!!! We had such a good time at their holiday mini-session. Everyone was so good and did so great! I can't wait until next time!! Click here if you want to see more of the session. 

Webster Girls | Cedar City Children Photography

These little sisters are some of my favorites. They are such sweet and yet spunky little things. And I am so excited to meet the newest addition to their family that will be arriving any day now. It was so fun at this session to chase these little ones around. I was especially glad that little sister was in such a fun mood at the session, because last time, she was SO not feeling me. But she did super cute this time and she has the cutest little personality and kept a smile on my face, and hers, the whole time! To see more of these little cuties click here. 

Angie & Tony | Cedar City Wedding Photography

I am so excited to be finally posting these. With the whole husband getting sick thing and crazy busy family Christmas season, I am SO SO behind on posting weddings. I am so lucky to have such amazingly wonderful brides who have been so patient with me while I try to get everything done. I seriously am so lucky because I always get great brides. In all the time I have been photographing weddings, I don't think I have ever really had a bridezilla (knock on wood).

So anyways...I am super thrilled to be posting these so everyone can see. Angie is like the most amazingly beautiful bride. Isn't she just breathtaking? And these two are such a fun couple...The day of their wedding it was predicted to be rain but Mother Nature cooperated and it was such a beautiful day. I loved everything about their wedding...All the little touches that she did were so gorgeous. She had my new partner Tina from Irresistible Weddings design her wedding and it turned out gorgeous. Don't you love the zebra print?

I also tried something different with their couple shots that you have to check out...I did my normal color enhancement but then also a vintage finish...you can see it here...what do you think? And to see all the moments of their day click here.

Sophie | Cedar City Utah Baptism Photography

I decided to try something a little bit different than my normal "flavor" on these photos. Usually I am bright, funky, fresh, with tons of color POP! But I felt like that just didn't do these images justice. I loved being able to try so many fun things on the different sessions that I do. So I went with a little bit more vintage feel of these. I wanted them to look like they could have been a hundred years old. We shot them in this totally cool old house and it just was the perfect location for a little vintage flair. I am so excited with how they turned out...click here to see the rest of the session. And doesn't she look gorgeous?

Sheehan Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

So this momma is amazing. She is a super important corporate big wig, but is still able to balance it and be a great mommy too! I wished I was better. Sometimes I feel like its one or the other. Kids or work. But she always has it so together. And her kids are super wonderful kids. They are so silly and lighthearted and are always so sweet to me. I especially love baby sis. She is so her own person. She was putting on a show for us the day of pictures and I was giggling to myself the whole time I was editing her pics with all the silly faces she was pulling. This is one of the families that I love, because they just let their kids be kids. Let them be silly, let them act how they really are in pictures. Which I believe makes the best photos. I think that is when you catch a glimpse of their real personalities. And that is when you capture the moments, tiny glimpses, of who they really are. I always love to do their pictures because of that and this time was no different. To see more of this cute family...click here.

Swenson Family | Salt Lake City Utah Family Photography

I am so loving this session. I am not generally a person who loves a "dressy" session. But I just love, love, LOVE how this turned out. Everyone looks so cute and fancy in their Christmas outfits and yet they were comfortable enough to be able to laugh and play and have fun. These little ladies are so stinkin' adorable I just can't get enough. And don't you love the red hair! You have to check out the rest of the session. Just click here to see more! 

Ashworth Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

What a crew this is!!! I was so excited to get to be able to spend a morning with this whole family. They are such a fun group. We had a way fun time and everyone was so good...and good lookin! Its families like these that make me want to have a bunch of kids. I always love to see the little cousins running around having fun and it makes me want to have lots of kids so I can have lots of grandkids. I get so excited for the day when I am a grandma and have tons of people running around my house! And I always laugh to myself at the bribery of grandma...everyone knows, if they do what they are suppsoed to there is a quarter waiting for them! And these kids definitely earned their quarters.

John | BYU Graduation Photography

This was such a fun session. I always get so excited to do things that are different. And following this guy around on the day of his graduation from BYU was definitely different for me. His family is super fun and we had a great time wandering around and capturing all the moments from his big day. And I just have to tell you the cutest thing that happened, hope this doesn't embarrass him but it was so sweet. They had a big dinner for him and he gave a little speech. And in his speech he said that he wanted to give his graduation sash to his mom, because she had given up her own dreams of an education and put her life on hold for her children and to raise them. I got so teary eyed, well actually, I totally cried from behind my camera. I was just so touched at his thoughtfulness and gratitude for his mom. As a mom, sometimes we feel so unappreciated and like nothing we do matters. And that we work so hard for our kids, but it is never enough. But it was so sweet to be able to hear him share his gratitude for his mother. I just hope that my boys will feel the same way about me...To see a glimpse at the whole day click here.

Anzalone Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

This little guy was so not feeling pictures the day of his session. Which I wasn't surprised...it was FREEZING!!! My poor little toesies were froze, so I am sure he wasn't lovin the weather. Not to mention havin' a crazy photographer right in his face. But I did my whole song and dance, and with mom, dad, and sisters help, we got this guy to show us his super cute smile! I think he was loving this location and had such a fun time explorin', throwing rocks, jumping off stuff, and just being a cute little cowboy. In the end it all turned out great! Such a cute guy! To see more of him, his super cute sister, and the rest of the family click here...

Miller Family | Salt Lake City Utah Mini Family Session

How cute is this little lady? I just love her Christmas dress. So sparkly! And she was such a cutie running all over the place in it. Just like a perfectly poofy Christmas ornament. And the tounge...oh that funny little tounge. It is always on display. Which cracks me up. I have another little client like that, just about her age, and he is super cute too...maybe they should go out on a baby date and share a sucker!!! Haha! To see her in all her cuteness, and her fun family too, click here.

Blake Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

These two brothers are seriously such good pals! I always love to watch how great of a big brother mister P is to his little C. It is so cute!!! I hope that my two boys are good buds like these two are. This family is always so fun because they are so chill and relaxed! Mom is so easy going which makes it so great for me! And I loved this location...it looked great with their outfits. To see more click here.

Anderson Family | Salt Lake City Utah Family Photography

So I have this little 5 year old client, and she all brothers. But she has a best friend, and they are super close...so close in fact that they call themselves the BFF Sisters...because they are so much closer than BFF's. And I totally think that BFF Sister is for real...because this right here...this is my BFF sister. We have been friends forever it seems like, and she is so like a sister to me, more in fact. She is always there to help me, laugh with me, cry with me, gripe about our kids and our hubby's with me, and even though we live far apart it doesn't seem like that because we talk constantly. I don't know what I would do without her. And oh my poor children, without her who knows what shape they would be in because the majority of the parenting advice I get comes from her. Thank goodness! Because she is an amazing mom. I feel so lucky to have her in my life...And I love her little family too! These little girls always put a smile on my face. They are so freaking adorable...you have to see how silly they were at their session. We were chatting, of course, and so we just let them do whatever...and I think their personalities totally came through...Big sis is so wise, and reserved, and thoughtful, and little sis...well little sis is just crazy! But I love her for that...just like my Jman! Oh how I love them! You have to click here to see the rest of the session.
And just so you know...this is my current favorite image. I just love it! Its like she can see right through you. Such a gorgeous girl.

Courtney | Cedar City Utah Baby Photography

This little lady could not have been more perfect...her outfits were SO adorable! She is just the most perfectly chubby baby, and she totally played along with everything that we wanted her to do. I think I might just print one of her for myself because I am so in love with this session. I can't even think of the right words to say because I just am so in LOVE! Good job baby girl! Can't wait until next time...Now you must click here to see the rest of the session.

Oh and if you love these little leg warmers...like how could you not...they are going to be at the Grand Opening in only TWELVE DAYS!!! Riley Lane Creations will have tons of them for you to choose from!!!

Bali Family | Cedar City Utah Mini Family Session

This little wink is going to melt the ladies hearts someday. He kept showing off his new skill and it sure was melting mine! This little guy is seriously such a cute guy! And everytime I see him, he just keeps getting cuter and cuter! He is just such a happy guy! One of the other things that I love about this guy, in fact I am slightly obsessed is the little guy's name, Hayden Beau, isn't that just the cutest little cowboy name you have ever heard! And its one word, you have to say it all together! Isn't it just so cute! He is jus too cute to handle...and add that wink on top of it and oh boy!!! To see more of him and his great parents click here.

Torgerson Family | Cedar City Utah Mini Family Session

Guess this kiss caught this little guy by surprise! Such a funny little guy. I was so excited to see how big this little guy was. Mom and me were pregnant at the same time, he is only a few weeks younger than my baby. And he is a big boy too! Gotta love the baby chub! I can't believe that he is grown so much so fast and that their first birthday's are just around the corner. I really feel like I was just heading to the hospital...and now here we are thinking about first birthday parties. I have got to figure out how to slow down time...But it was fun to see him and how much he has changed. And I was so excited to see his family. Last year his big brother gave us a dagger at his session that became one of my very favorite photos ever! And he did great again this time too. Such a stud! And seriously, could he look more like his dad. He is most definitely a mini-version of dad! To see more click here.

Baby Draper | Cedar City Utah Maternity Photography

Oh how I love prego bellies! They are just so exciting. Everything about babies just makes me smile! I can't wait for this little lady to make her arrival...especially since my new studio will be open and I have so many fun new things to try out on her! And I just have to give props to mom for enduring this freezing session all for the sake of great maternity photography! She was a champ!!! Click here to see all the cute belly shots!

Mullen Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

Okay seriously, these are some of the best lookin boys around. I always get SO excited when I know they are coming because #1 - they are super cute, #2 - they are always dressed awesome, #3 - all three of them have amazing eyes, and #4 - they have some of the most fun, silly personalities that I know they are always going to come up with some GREAT stuff!!! And as an added bonus they are great friends. They are like my dream brother relationship. I hope that my boys are as good as friends as them. I have never in like three years ever seen them fight, or be mean to each other. Oh I am keeping my fingers crossed!!! To see more of this cute little family just click here.

Koy | Cedar City Utah Newborn Photography

It was so fun to meet this little guy. His big brother was one of my first newborn appointments and I remembered being totally in love with big brothers hair. So when this new little guy was coming I was crossing my fingers for lots of hair...and he did not disappoint! Such a good looking fella! And such a super mellow guy...he was a photographers dream! To see more of him click here.

Beazer Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

Love this shot! We had to do it a few times...but once they realized I was serious about the jumping they totally pulled it off! Good job guys! I was super excited about this session. Dad used to work at Snow College when I went there as a student so it was super fun to catch up, Go Badgers! Snow is seriously the funnest (is that a word?) place and I loved, loved, LOVED going there so its always so fun to chat with anyone who has experienced the awesomeness (or is this a word?) of Ephraim...haha! And their family is so great which made this session even better! Such a fun time! Don't miss the rest of this session, click here to see it all!

Thayer Family | Cedar City Utah Mini Family Session

Mom was very nervous about Dad. Guess family pictures aren't his favorite thing...big shocker right! I am a very realistic family photographer. I realize that probably less than 10% of dad care at all about family photos. Its just something they indulge and put up with to make their wife happy. So the trick is, smile and it goes fast! And this dad did great! He was such a good helper to keep the little guy interested and they did awesome. Such a fun mini-session! Click here to see more...

France Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

This family has such GOOD kids! Like unbelieveably good! Most kids last a few minutes and then are bouncing off the wall, but they were so mellow and just did whatever we asked. I love that!!! And I loved the colors that mom chose. They just went together so well. Don't they just look like they were just out and about looking so cute and I just happened to show up. I just love how natural it all looks! Such a fun little session with a great family. To see more click here.

Stephenson Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

I think it is quite possible that this little guy rules the roost at his house. He is quite the center of their universe. It was so cute! You can just tell that he lights up their world. All his sisters were so cute and sweet with him and so into whatever he was doing. Its always so fun to see the joy that a baby can bring to a family who isn't used to having a baby around...To see more of this little guy and the rest of his super cute family click here.

Esplin Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

I am so excited to post these! I have been so excited about this session and just anticipating it to be all finished! Don't they look amazing! Good job mom on the outfits, as always! I had no doubt in my mind that they would look awesome. They always do!!! Miss Q, the little lady, is one of my favorite little clients (as many of you know...haha...she is on here all the time). But she is just so cute! And the sass, oh man, how can you not love the sass! I can't get enough. And mom is one of my good friends who I just love spending time with. She is such a sweet gal and we always have a fun time chatting about whatever it is! She is such a good friend too and was so sweet to take care of us while my hubby was sick. I can't even explain how grateful I was for the Lysol wipes, chocolates, and goodie bag that showed up on our doorstep. So sweet! And the card, oh the card got me through it..."In the swimming pool of life, we're all going to have times when there's a little pee in the pool." Seriously kept me smiling through all the craziness. Thanks girl! And to see the rest of the session with their super cute family click here.

Shelby & Wes | Cedar City Utah Engagement Photography

I can't believe that these two's wedding is going to be here so soon. Time just goes too fast. They are such a fun couple and have the CUTEST little boy and I am so excited for them to start their life. They were so cute with each other and just so in love! Which I always just love to be around...its so fun to be around couples when they are just so in love with each other. I feel like that feeling rubs off on me and I am on cloud nine for them! We had such a good time during their engagement session and they were so easy going and just let me do whatever I wanted, which I always love! And I am so excited with how this session turned out. Can't wait for Shelby's bridals...hopefully our crazy weather will cooperate!!! To see more of the love birds click here.  

Toko Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

Oh brother, Mister C was on quite the roll the day of family pictures. I think he was driving his mommy and daddy a little nuts! But he was cracking me up! I have gone on and on about what a perfect little baby he is and how he is always so cooperative. But I think this time we went to places that were WAY cooler than me! He was so into roaming around...that he had better things to do than check out the crazy photographer girl. But of course, in pure Mister C fashion, he still totally got the job done and pulled out some super silly stuff and had me laughing. I just love his little personality! And I am pretty fond of his super cute mom too! She is one of my favorite clients and we always have a good time whenever we are together. She is just so cute. And can I just mention how amazing she looks. She has been a super woman lately losing lots of weight and I am so excited for her! You look gorgeous girlie!!!

Delcore Family | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

Oh, oh, oh...this is one gorgeous little lady...Wowsers! She is going to be a heartbreaker! She is such a gorgeous little girl. Mom and dad were a little bummed she wasn't pulling out her gorgeous smile in the beginning, but I was so in love with those big brown eyes that I couldn't get enough of her. Seriously she is like a little doll with those big ol brown eyes and her skin is amazing! And whose surprised when you see her good lookin' parents! But we had a way fun time pulling out all the stops and finally our sillyness paid off and she broke out the smile. Such a cutie!!! To see more of her and her fun family click here...

Abbott Boys | Cedar City Utah Family Photography

Okay, seriously...how cute are these two? Everything about this session just worked out so well. These boys were super cute and cooperative and we were able to just have a great time. I love sessions like that! Just so easy! And the day was so nice, the leaves looked so perfect, and these boys were dressed so cute. There just isn't anything better to say than to say this was just a perfectly wonderful session. Good job boys! To see them in all their cuteness click here.

I can't believe that this little guy is already 6 months old! I feel like just yesterday we were doing his newborn pictures. And now look how big he is getting! And what a fun session with him and his whole family. Everyone was so good, especially given the crazy weather this day. Have I mentioned by the way how much I would love to live somewhere like Scottsdale right now! Cedar City weather is driving me nuts. I have had to reschedule and move appointments so much because of the crazy weather. Raining one day, then snowing, freezing cold, then nice as can be! It is enough to drive a photographer nuts! And the day of this session it was supposed to be raining all day. But everything held out just long enough to get some great shots of this family. To see the whole session click here.

Everytime I edit images of this little girl, I cry. Not like one single tear running down my cheek cry, but sobs...big huge, can't breathe, sobs. That is why it always takes me so long to get them done. And everytime I post pictures of this family, I am so overwhelmed. I have been thinking for days about what to write. What could be the perfect words. Looking at her is like looking straight at a miracle. That is what she is. She is an answer to so many prayers from so many people. But mostly from her sweet momma. Her momma is my cousin, and she is probably one of the most amazing people I have ever met, and she has been through so much and yet she remains so joyful and so positive. After years and years of fertility issues, she finally got pregnant. It was such a huge blessing to our entire family and everyone was over the moon about it. We could hardly wait for little Branson's arrival (this little lady's older brother). But just one day before his arrival, he passed away. Even now to say it I feel like I lose my breath, I still can't belive he isn't here. I never get used to the fact that he isn't here with us. I never got to hold him, or snuggle him, and yet I feel like I know him so well. I think about him all the time. If you want to read the details of their sweet story and hear it from his momma's perspective you should read her blog. It is some of the most amazing and inspiring writing I have ever read. Just go to A Healing Journey. I still read it all the time. To remember, to be close to Branson, to find gratitude for the simple blessings of ornery, naughty, screaming children when I feel like I might lose my mind. Because my ornery, naughty children are here and I get to squeeze them everyday. But the story is amazing, and how they dealt with it is amazing...And after all that happened I think that this little lady was a gift to my cousin for all of the strength she showed. She never waivered in her ability to be positive. And now Miss B is turning one. How can it already have been a year? Time went too fast. As it always does...But I always love to be around these guys. She is the sweetest little girl, such a happy little thing, but I love, love, love to watch my cousin. Everytime she holds her, snuggles her, comforts her, chases her she is so blissfully happy. She savors every single moment, every little discovery, every little laugh and cry. Because she knows how incredibly precious they are. And she deserves these moments so much. But she never takes it for granted. She is so incredibly grateful for this little one, and it always helps me to remember what is really important. Just loving them, doing your best for them, and doing everything you can to shower them with love and letting our little ones know how incredibly much we love them. Just look at her you can see the joy on her face...It makes me so happy to be the person who gets to capture that joy...click here to see the whole session. And now...I am off to go snuggle my kids while they dream...
