Resolutions… {South Jordan, Utah Child Photographer}
January 4, 2010
Tonight, we had our family home evening and made our resolutions for the new year. Mae Mae made a goal to read 100 books by June and started working toward her goal right away. She read 6 books tonight and is ready to go back to the library to pick out more.
I like to set goals at the beginning of each year. I like the determination I feel to better myself. Some people don’t like to make resolutions as it is hard to keep a goal for an entire year. I don’t look at it that way. Not all of my goals even require action every day of the year. Some are just short term goals. I guess it takes me back to the days when I was in young women’s. When I made a goal to work toward and actually accomplished something. It is so easy to let time slip away and realize that the time was wasted. No improvement was made. So, I am thankful for the tradition of New Year’s Resolution and for the motivation I feel to become a better person.

Cousins {Daybreak Family Photographer – South Jordan, Utah}
October 24, 2009Every summer of my childhood included some time at the family ranch in Pinedale. While we were contained (haha) on the ranch, we spent hours learning how to french braid hair, swinging on tire swings, zooming down the zip-line, building pine needle forts, searching for arrowheads…. Okay, the list could go on and on. We just spent good old-fashioned time developing relationships with our family. At some point, my cute Grandma coined the term “cousin power” and it stuck. To this day, whenever we get together with cousins, we call it a cousin power party.
I recently had the chance to photograph these cute cousins. And it takes me back. Swinging. Climbing. Singing. Learning that family is always there….
Here are a few favs from their session:

Well, the Bub pulled over half my keys off my keyboard today…making it VERY difficult to type on. Thus, I will save the post regarding his MANY misadventures for another day. So, for now. Just a few. Of this handsome guy 
Tomorrow: pictures of his darling little sister (the Foof’s best friend)…

October 20, 2009And the baby of the family…
She was not excited to have been woken early to get all fancy, just to come sit in the cold and look at me. Not happy at all! But, as long as one of her big brothers or sisters held her, she would let me look at her without crying. It was so sweet to watch her teenage siblings love and care for her. So, even though she is SO CUTE and I really wanted to capture some images of just her, I am still happy with these pictures.
And finally, a photo of all the kids together:

Still adding favorites from this recent family session… Also, update on my life: So, tomorrow we have family coming in town to stay with us for our big weekend (Missy is getting baptized on Saturday!). But, I have been editing sessions non-stop ALL WEEK! So, as you can imagine. ..my house has suffered. I wondered how I was realistically going to get everything done. How would I have time to clean 4 bathrooms, wash bedding/towels, vacuum, mop, dust, etc. I literally needed to clean my entire house. Then…this morning, my parents and sister showed up on my doorstep and told me that the cleaning crew was here. In a little over an hour, we had my entire house sparkling clean! And, my Dad fixed two of my sinks that were not draining well too! Thanks for being such an amazing Mr. Fix-It Dad! Then, Tressa and I went to Costco together and I got stocked up on food and got a new vacuum (old one did not work anymore). Went straight to the school to volunteer in Mae Mae’s class for their walking field trip. I had four kids in my group and we walked around our neighborhood and the kids got to take pictures of the “signs of Fall.” As we were leaving the school, Mae Mae was complaining that all she got to do for her field trip was walk around with me and take pictures. In her words: “I ALWAYS have to do that!” The other kids, however, thought it was great. I guess it is not always fun being a photographer’s daughter. Back to Tressa’s to pick up the Bub and Foof who had been napping/playing at Tressa’s…stayed for dinner – leftover night. (Thanks Tress) Then, back to Costco with my Dad to return my dryer that NEVER worked. Well, maybe it worked for a week or two. Then, not so great. I had to run every load for two entire 70 minute cycles! Huge waste of electricity, not to mention the fact that I could not keep up on laundry when the dryer took half the day to dry one load! Can I just say how much I love Costco?!? No problem! Here is store credit in the amount of the original purchase price. Go pick out a new dryer that actually works. Thanks! Home now. And…you guessed it. .. Editing sessions
Second {Daybreak Senior Photographer, South Jordan, Utah}
October 7, 2009
I have been editing pictures like crazy lately…which means that my carpel tunnel is acting up. In fact, last night BJ was even following my directions to edit for me. Then, all day today I just used my left hand, which is HARD! So, I won’t type much…but wanted to post a couple of my favorites! Also, I wanted to put in a plug for my Bellissima Portraits facebook page. I recently figured out how to add a business page, but so far Bellissima Portraits only has three fans. And I am one of them. That is pretty sad. So, if you have a second, hop on over to Facebook, search Bellissima Portraits and become a fan. Please? Thanks.
