Ryan & Shelly

This is Ryan Heath from "back home", as my husband would say.  One of the first of the "little" boys in my brother-in-law's generation to get hitched.  My brother-in-law, Uncle Isaac, came with us as artistic director to make sure I didn't get any "peeking around the tree" shots. lol!

 This is as close as we got to peeking around trees.

This is my favorite spot in Hobble Creek Canyon.

There were some very cool trains parked at my favorite Provo train stop.  Two lines of them is very rare also.  Lucky day!

H Family

Another adorable and well-behaved group!  It was certainly cold but they were serious troopers!

He didn't start out this pose smiling!  His look read zebra anticipating a tiger pounce.  Dad got goofy behind me and he finally relaxed adn trusted his sisters.



FREEZING Utah Lake session with the S Family

What do you get when you take 7 kids, a lake, and 20 degree weather?

Oh, and don't forget a 45 degree downhill climb to the next location (out of the wind)... I told Adam I was just practicing for my next National Geographic shoot.

Honest to goodness, you get 7 cooperative children and 3 grateful adults!

Those waves in the background are in a lake.  The wind just 50 miles north was ripping off roofs and uprooting trees!

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.
