Elder R

R is getting ready to send in his mission papers and asked if I could take his pictures for him. We had such a great time on this shoot even though the weather wasn't quite what we had planned for (it was supposed to be 50 today, but we woke up to a few inches of snow this morning and got drizzled on during the shoot). After we got some shots of him in his grown up suit we got some fun ones of him. We were able to get LOTS of great pictures and I let R & my sister (look forward to her pics from today) pick their favorites to be posted. Since R's parents couldn't join us for the shoot - Becky, these are for you! R is such a fun guy & we're going to miss having him around when he leaves, but we know that he's going to be an AWESOME Missionary! Enjoy!

**Update: R got his mission call about a week ago, he'll be off to teach the people of

Buenos Aires Argentina

in the next few months. Congratulations R!**

New Backdrops! - Updated

I'm getting 2 new backdrops today & I couldn't be more excited! Unfortunatly I don't think they'll work out too well for the Missionary shoot I have this morning. I'm getting a really fun bright pink and a bright blue. They will look so cute behind your little ones (or juts about everyone) and bring a new level of fun and pizzaz to your pictures. Of course you wouldn't want to do ALL your pics on a bright backdrop, but I'd probably get a few. Hope you guys like them as much as I do!

I'll try and get some shots on them today so you can see just what fun colors they are!

Well, looks like they didn't make it in today, guess I'll have to wait until next weekend - bummer.

Skydiving and a Missionary - Updated

I'm really looking forward to this weekend! I'll be doing a Missionary shoot and then documenting our friend as she goes skydiving! I'm pretty excited for both these shoots and can't wait to share them with you once they're done! Hope you're all having a great week!

And a quick friendly reminder. . . Don't forget to book your Spring Family Portraits!

**looks like skydiving is off for tomorrow, hopefully she'll get to jump next weekend!**

T, T & T

I've been keeping pretty busy lately just in shooting members of our families. These three are so much fun, and are my nephews and niece! Randy (my hubby) & I spent the weekend babysitting them while their parents went out of town & we had so much fun with them. Of course I had a blast getting some shots of them. I had hoped to shoot them outside, but the weather didn't quite cooperate with my plans so we moved the shoot indoors. These boys couldn't have more personality or spunk, and sweet little miss T is no different! I had a blast shooting these three!

doesn't he just have the best hair?

More pics of these three to come - still trying to go through all the pics from last weekend, there were quite a few!

The Ever So Darling Misses H & E

I'm proud to call these two sweet things my adorable neices. I always have so much fun with them which made shooting them even more fun! I had hoped to shoot these two outside but our unpredictable early March weather didn't quite cooperate with my plans - oh well.
