This next picture just makes me smile! She was totally talking and laughing with her Mom. And…look! She has her fingers crossed! Maybe she was crossing her fingers, hoping that I would get some good pictures?!? Ha! Well, we did 
Thanks for the fun, Miss K!
Just over a year ago, BJ got his official job offer here in Salt Lake City and we were able to come house hunting. While our time in Idaho strengthened my testimony of the love of the Lord, that does not mean that it was easy. It was hard to live in an isolated farmhouse on the ranch, far from family and civilization. It was hard to huddle around the pellet stove in the kitchen all day just to keep warm. After living through such a lonely, cold winter in Idaho, I cannot tell you how it cheered my soul to drive into Daybreak and find our little red house to rent. These bright red flowers were popping up all over Daybreak. The petals looked like satin. So, when I started seeing these flowers bloom this spring, it reminded me of the feeling I had last year. A feeling of renewal. Of hope.
Give me some sass!
Mwah!

(Call to schedule a mini-session for your child today! See following post for details!)
Items Needed:
chow mein noodles
chocolate chips (melted)
little chocolate eggs
Easy and fun! The kids loved this…although Mae Mae was disappointed that it was snowing like crazy outside while we were making our little nests. We are ready for SPRING!
Just a little shout out for Leslie…one of my favorite people! She is an esthetician/make-up artist and recently opened a small spa in her her home. You can check out her brand new blog HERE, then call her to schedule an appointment. You are going to LOVE her! Oh, and you can see another one of our favorite images from her session on her blog. So, be sure to head over there and leave her a comment!
Fashion Model in Training…
Abigail was super excited to get her pictures taken. This little cutie is 100% spunk and personality!
A fun-filled day ahead for us. Our morning should be pretty relaxed…cleaning, hanging out, maybe a trip to Costco. Then this afternoon, we are going to see the witches at Gardner Village and to take some pictures of the kids in their costumes. Then home for a little bit of trickery and treat tasting before heading over to Tressa’s house for soups and spooky movies. Wishing you a Haunted Halloween too… {cackle, cackle}
Every 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:
