Sidnie

Sidnie's family has a fun tradition...when they turn sixteen they get to have a photo shoot. How fun. I was excited that they chose me to take her photos. Sidnie was such a sweet girl. I loved her red hair and blue eyes. I don't know why, maybe just because it's so unique, but I love taking pictures of red heads. Sidnie is a Highland Lassie, so she knew all about posing and was so easy to work with. We got sooo many great shots, I had a lot of fun with her. I'm hoping to get to see her again in about a year for her seniors :)

Grady

Okay I have learned my lesson! I take too many photos! It took me way too long to go through Grady's pictures. I met Grady when we was 12 and told his mom he had a future as an abercrombie model, and I still think he does. What a hottie :) I can't believe he is a senior...so crazy. So we went out for his senior photo shoot and took a million photos. There are so many great ones. I am so glad it's not me that has to choose the one for his yearbook! I just think Grady is the best kid. He is such a great example to my little guys. He comes from an amazing family.

Livia

Oh my goodness! How cute is Livia? Just about a year ago I met Livia and took her pictures. Her mom contacted me a year later and drove up from Utah for me to take some updated photos of this beauty. I could not believe how much difference a year makes. She was absolutely perfect the whole time and when her mom pulled out that rock and roll outfit, I melted. She looks so pretty in so many. There were oodles of photos I could have played with all day. Livia's crafty aunt made her amazingly cute hair decor and fun tutu--you can check out her stuff at inspiredbyaveri.blogspot.com So cute.

Roberts

The Roberts family was in desperate need of a great family picture. Their oldest son had just returned from his mission and their oldest daughter was just about to head out on hers so they asked if we could squeeze in a quick photo shoot while all 8kids were together. I was happy to do it. Before our ward split I was in young womens with 3 of their daughters and I love them all. I still ask Sara for a hug every time I see her. We had a good time doing these photos and got some really great shots. I am especially fond of the boy band shots :)

Courtney and Jason Part II

So when I finally stole Courtney and Jason away for their photos, we had a little mishap. I asked if the happy couple would head down to the dock for some pictures. Courtney hadn't brought her shoes along and was tiptoeing down to the dock when we both heard a splash. We looked over and Jason had backed himself right into the water. I turned on my camera as quickly as possible and snapped as fast as I could. The only problem was that I was laughing so hard couldn't hold my camera still. I really don't know if I've ever laughed that hard in my life. I can officially say this wedding tops my list of favorites.

Courtney and Jason

Courtney and Jason got married on a beautiful August evening. Everything was so perfect at the wedding. There was only one oversight that I noticed. They didn't allot any time for pictures!! I know I'm hyperventilating again just thinking about it. So after the wedding and before the reception we snapped some super quick family shots, and the guests began arriving. I waited semi-patiently for my opportunity and when I saw it arise I physically grabbed this bride and groom and stole them away before it was dark! We literally did these photos in 15 minutes, and I am so happy with how they turned out. But seriously, look what I had to work with...made my job really easy. We had some excitement during this time that is going to be documented in an part II to be posted as soon as I can. So...to be continued...
