Whitney & Trevor February 2012
It truly is refreshing to see young love! Whitney & Trevor had a whirl-wind wedding filled with family, friends & lots of love! I've known Trevor for quite a few years now and it's really exciting to see him find his princess. It was such an honor to be able to spend this special day with these two! Congratulations!!

Miss E's baptism!
I had the pleasure of doing little Miss E's baptism pictures a few weeks ago. This girl is a natural beauty and a natural in front of the camera. I was able to do her older sister's baptism photos last year as well. Both her and her sister's dresses mimic a beautiful mini wedding dress. What a keepsake to treasure forever! All I have to say is their parents are in big trouble when they get older! Congrats E! I'm excited for your big day.

Whitney's Bridals
Congrats Whitney & Trevor!!! I didn't want to post these until after the wedding because she was really wanting to make sure her future hubby was 100% surprised with her bridal attire on the day of their wedding. They got married this last Friday, in which I was honored to do their wedding day photos as well. I'll post those once I'm done with any editing. She was a fun and quirky gal! Thanks for letting me be involved in such a special time in your life!
W & C Baptism
These two little handsome guys are my nephews. They were able to share their special day together. I'm sure it's a memory they'll never forget. My older sister and I did the same thing when we were young girls. I took them out for a quick photo shoot so we could capture this memory in time forever! They did such a good job! I'm really loving the spot we took the pictures at too!!

Straight From Heaven
Ok....I have been patiently waiting to do this post for quite some time now. I had to make sure I was in the clear with the parents before I posted their little angels photos. Thankfully I was able to square everything away today.
This whole thing started with the experience of me having my little babe at 28 weeks gestation. I was so genuinely grateful for everything the Newborn Intensive Care Unit did for us. They were so kind, gentle, quick to see our fears/concerns and were able to appease us as much as possible. They made us feel so special, as if our little guy was the most important baby in the world. We were able to see how each nurse cared for him and truly loved their job. They made it a point to express that their caring of our little angel was not just a job to them. They acted as if he were their own child.
I brain-stormed for days trying to think of a way to repay them. A plate of cookies along with a card just didn't seem to be enough. One night I awoke from a dead sleep. Somehow I had come up with this brilliant plan. I knew exactly what to do!! I could give back with photography. I had taken some special pictures of Lincoln when he came home from the hospital and then put together a birth announcement. I loved one of the photos so much I even had it enlarged and printed on a canvas gallery wrap that now hangs in his room. Lincoln's scar from his surgery was still visible on his head, but I didn't want to alter it in anyway. It was who he was....he wore his battle wounds proudly and I, as his mother, wasn't afraid to see them. I wanted other mothers to have the same experience I did. I wanted to be able to take pictures of the babies when they had freshly been released from the NICU and have them be able to display the great triumph these babies had finally achieved.
One of the guardian angels who took care of my Lincoln happened to also go to church with us. With her help, my idea was presented to the manager at the NICU. He immediately loved the idea and agreed that it was something he would love to have happen. It's almost been two years since Lincoln was completely discharged from the hospital, but I got a call a few months ago saying they wanted to push forward with the plan. I was super lucky enough to be able to photograph two babies who still resided in the NICU. Their photos, along with a few of Lincoln's and also others, will be displayed through out the halls and nursery of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center. I am so elated that this gift I dreamed up has finally come true and is in the process of happening.

These particular photos may or may not be the ones displayed in the hospital. They are still in the selecting process!
And the two that will be displayed of Lincoln

H Family
I really am lucky to be able to do something so fun and creative. There's times when I have my doubts about my abilities, but then a lot of times I walk away from a session feeling such a huge sense of accomplishment. It really pays off when I look at my finished product. I think I will have the privilege of photographing this family forever. Unless they move away, that is. In the meantime, I'll soak up how much my camera loves them!
