W Family at Provo Temple

Phew!  It's been too long since I've posted sessions!  Alas, here's a wonderful family to begin with!  I took pictures for their first sealing at the Mt. Timpanogas Temple to Aida and about a year later here we are again with her sweet baby brother that they adopted!

Such a beautiful family!

It was FREEZING, but the sky was wonderful!

Sorry about the watermark right in the middle, but the news story about the family whose picture was in a frame at Ikea has me shook!

Poor mom!  Miss Aida had different ideas about the day.  They didn't include photos.  Just keep moving and you'll get a shot!



Nevermind the drinking fountain next to the bench that had to be photoshopped.  Who puts a drinking fountain near a photo op at the temple?!

My camera wouldn't focus and I couldn't figure out why because Talmage isn't crawling yet.  He seemed to be still.  I came around the veiwfinder to see his little chin quivering in the cold. 

Didn't make a sound.  Just sat shivering!  Poor little man.  This was our last shot of the day.

W Family Sealing

Little Ada's adoption finalization was earlier this month, which means this family could go to the temple to be sealed. 

We had an early photo session for this occasion so that on the big day they could focus on their guests and family. They are such a beautiful little family, and sweet as the day is long. Little Miss Ada is so blessed to have such wonderful parents.

Raleigh, North Carolina Temple

I have NEVER experienced heat like that, and I lived in Panama for 3 years!  We sprinted through pictures until we were drenched in sweat and I knew that no amount of editing could clear up the shine that heat was producing!!!

I did extra duty for this wedding.  Photos AND flowers. 

The last dance: "Red High Heels"

And they lived

Happily Ever After...

Kelly & Tyler Draper Temple

A shoot with Sharli from SB Photography

The Draper temple is only about a year old, so it's a new location to most of us.  It's pretty unforgiving in mid-morning.  With the entrance on the east, the sun was directly in the eyes of our subjects.  That is, until some dark clouds covered it while the western skies were still beautiful and clear.

One of us is living right.

I love the trend to wear colored shoes with a wedding gown.  Her feet were so charming!

I love to watch a groom on his wedding day.  Tyler was so proud of his bride.
