A favorite....

Looking at each other and the amount of ease is easily seen with this couple. There is not doubt about their love and commitment. You will spend a life time loving each other and laughing if you allow yourselves too. Happiness is seen in this. God Bless you two.....

Sweet little Lady and her Marine

This was a fun day for me although still a little too hot! Watching this beautiful girl grow up has been a pleasure. To see her and her Marine so happy=bonus! It is a story of two kids growing up and learning to be there for each other and overcome all. Be strong and trust each other.

They have a strong connection and bond, from the way they look at each or the way they hold hands. Pure simple love. They will have a life time of happiness.

Together is a long time and these two have proved that they can make it and will be stronger for the challenges they have overcome. I loved the way they talk to one another and laugh. Laughter is so important and he looks at her and you can not help but notice how much he adores her and she is so in love and proud of her Marine.

Even holding his patience and form for the cute idea she had and wanted just right....and I think this shows how much it was worth it.

 Tell me that this is just gorgeous and I will believe you! Down to her piercing blue eyes....and his also (but hidden at the moment) these two will melt your heart!

 Looking forward to another shoot in November for the Marine Ball! Such a great experience to see him in his dress blues and her in a formal! Wow...I can't wait!

Love speaks.

Smiles and laughter come easy for these two.

Until we shoot again, happy times to J and D, xoxo!

Fun Family Shoot with the "S" Family

These three cuties had me having a ball! Each was so expressive in their own ways....each has their own little look and character and has something to say with the expression on their face, that is what it is all about after all.

What a little dolly this one was!

This family is so sweet and fun to work with and I look forward to working with them again.

Are you kidding me.... is this not the cutest little face?

These two beauties  have the same eyes....and those cheeks are to die for.

The "S" family so kind and easy to be around! The kids were so cute and listened to all their parents and mine directions. My time was so rewarding to me and by the looks of them these pictures show how much fun we had during this shoot! Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.

I can do this mom look at me I am taking steps and I look like the cutest doll ever.

Cadillac Ranch, TX

OK so it seems a bit strange to find a bunch of cars half buried in the sandy desert of TX, but it is art and you are welcome to come and add to the graffiti. What a fun place to see and take pictures at.Of course we had to have a sign to represent AZ!

Then of course was the reminder of the best road trip sign ever! We had fun but the girls were simply tired of cameras and posing.....too bad when your Mommas love to capture everything on film!

Friends for 9 years strong, good girls, great friends and forever made memories!

Hay Bails

Looks can be deceiving as this was mushy ground from the rains....A photographer friend of mine and her daughter....going to have some fun!

and then there is me wanting to capture their fun.

Samoan woman are strong. They are loyal and love their families fiercely as seen here!!

Nauvoo, Il 2012

Just a shot of my girl in the old historic town of Mormon Pioneers in Nauvoo, Il. What a spiritual place to be.

So many odds and ends all around.

Even have "original" type hand carts for the kids to see and play with....even the big kids like to play.

The Nauvoo Temple from behind the statues of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.

And if you have ever seen a Temple you will know there are always the most lush and beautiful flowers ever!

Games for kids of all ages to play during the Pageant and this is at the Country Fair.

These girls had so much fun trying all the games they had back in the mid 1800's.

Next to an old barn.

Original cookie cutters dug up from the site from the baker in Nauvoo.

If you were fortunate enough this is what fit your family and belongings. What a beautiful place to visit and get to know. If you get the chance go!
