I'm related to this family!

The photos were taken in Mantua, Utah in 23* weather.

This was the quickest poto session ever! I was jumping like a crazy lady to get the kids to smile!
It was so freezing cold, the kids were not happy, at all! 5 clicks of the camera and we're done!

Then into the warm car the kids go, and this is the best shot of the day!!!

love my kids

While in Utah visiting my kids, I wanted to see the fall colors

Off to Manuta, Utah we went. While walking around the lake, I saw this clock. It looked just like the clock I bought my Dad when I was 9.  I had as a child earned and saved my money just for his gift. This clock brought back fond memories of the happy look on my Dad's face as he opened his gift.

We drove around the back side of the lake, there was so much beauty in this area.  The sun gave me the prettiest lighting.  I love how the sun is peeking through the trees.

I love the serene colors the earth gifts to us. Wow...to me, it's breath taking!

This Senior photo shoot was the quickest ever!

My work was easy.  I just told him if he posed well and was on his good behavior, we'd be finished within and the hour! And he'd get chocolate chip cookies~

That was great incentive, of course he put on the Ritz~

and we got us some great photos, 

love ya Cooper

Meet the Merrill family

I love the Merrill family, my family has enjoyed having the Merrill's as friends for a long time. 

 I have watched their babies grow into adulthood and teenage years.

Their home is brand new and beautiful, it looks just like 

an English castle. It's just beautiful

The library in their home is an absolute work of art!

and I enjoy every single person in the wonderful family!

One of my favorite family's

A baptism day

 

Muzzette turned 8 years old

 

 

In the Mormon faith, it's a huge milestone

 

 

for baptism.

 

Her Momma had a dress made for her by Muzette's great Grandma.

Muzette's great grandpa bought her this beautiful locket on the day she was blessed as a baby, as a token of his love for her.  Muzette is wearing this beautiful keepsake on her baptism day.

I love this endearing tradition.

 

Muzette's Mother dressed her all up for special pictures in her

beautiful baptism dress. Muzetts' Momma is capturing

the sweet moment in a photo

 

oh the love of a child

 

and the beautiful smile, will capture your heart any day!

so happy for your choice darling Muzzette~

Happy Sweet 16th birthday

Savanna

Little babies make your heart tender~

 and when they smile it just pierces your soul.

 and Momma got herself a new camera, she can hardly put it down

 she needs a camera to capture the sweetness of her baby boy



With her and the photographer side by side snapping shots,

oh the memories will be sweet~ 



 while the baby boy is looking up at his Daddy the photographer snaps more shots



we don't' want to miss one moment of this photoshoot as he gazes taking a break

 and last but not leas,t his Mommie and Daddy are standing right behind me and he lifts his head to watch the two he adores trying to make him smile. 

 

Johnny and Sean's baptism day

 

 

It's always double trouble

 

or double blessings!

 



These 2 smiles = happy boys



 

 

John and Sean on their baptism day.  As you can see they are pretty happy

with their scriptures in hand, a gift from their Mom and Dad.



This Father and son are too much alike

 



 They stand the same

 

 

 

they both like cars, especially  antique cars

 

 







 they even put their hands in their pockets the same

and ride dirt bikes together at the beach

 

and Quin has the cutest kid on the block

 

 

This is Sheylie Paige

she turned 8 on August 11

and turning 8 is a milestone in the LDS church, she was baptized into

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

 



Shey was pretty excited as you can see by her happy smile

And she looked beautiful in her white pretty dress

She thought the ducks were quite a fun added touch to the photo shoot
and so did I.

She looks so adorable reading her scriptures sitting under the tree

the roots of the tree made quite a nice chair for her to sit on. 

Sheylie wanted to feed the ducks, and the ducks came up to her gently, love this photo

Sheylie Paige knows just how to pose...so sweet

This dolly girl  looked so beautiful today

We just love her
