So many of you know that we moved, but did you know how beautiful the yard is? There are trees, and rocks, and grass, and lots of places to play. In the spring my friend Carrie Peterson was ready to get pictures taken with her kids, and so we tried out the yard. I think they are beautiful images!!! It’s really fun to shoot in every angle, thanks Carrie for being the first!

For the first 17 years of our married life we lived in the same home in East Layton. One of the families that we became friends with when we moved in was the Bradfords. She became the ward choir pianist when I was the director, and is so talented we sang pieces she wrote. My oldest was born just a months after her youngest so it was fun to have kids close in age. Since they moved we she became my Mary Kay lady (to make sure I see her every so often,) and we even went to Garth Brooks together a couple months ago. Such wonderful people, and so photogenic!! We are so grateful they are our friends!

So every year I think I’m going to get someone else to photograph my family… would be less stress, and less preparation. I would only have to focus on the clothing, which as you all know can be stressful enough!! But here we are, another year, and here is my family… photography by me!! I am so grateful for my beautiful mama who stood by to make sure all eyes are on the camera, and with dog treats ready in hand! She also happen to dress perfectly in our colors so we could have her in a few images. We love you Grandma Bonnie!:)

I met a wonderful family the other day, and had the privilege of spending the evening with them and capturing a very special time of their lives. Edward, one of their awesome sons was leaving on a mission a few days later and they wanted to make sure they captured the special time before he left.
What a wonderful family they are! Loving, sweetly sarcastic, respectful and encouraging of one another. It’s because of families like the Standing family that I spend time away from mine during this busy time of year. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to spend an evening with you! What wonderful people you are!

So about 3 o’clock this afternoon I got a call while I was standing in my husband’s favorite fountain pen shop, in his favorite mall (Trolley Square.) We had just gone out for a lunch together, and were taking a little time before he had to get back. The lovely mother on the phone I answered needed headshots for her kids. She was hoping around 4. I told her I was certain it would be fine and I’d call her back as soon as I got back home because I didn’t have my planner. She sounded confused, but said OK and we hung up. A second later I looked at my watch, it was now after three and I realized why she was so confused! lol. I had an hour to get my husband back to work, get through traffic from Salt Lake, (which doesn’t seem to ever be clear anymore.) I still had to grab my gear, get to the park, and set-up for the photo session! By 4:30 we were done and by 6 they were all printed and going off to the judges for their auditions! Such fun beautiful, talented kids. I’m so grateful it was as clear as it was today so I could meet them! So excited to meet the rest of your famliy very soon! !

I had fun creating headshots for my Thespian friend Kayla, last Wednesday. There are so many words that describe this sweet girl, that I really couldn’t pick one. Charismatic, talented, kind, caring, smart, selfless, musical, theatrical, beautiful… so many more. I’ve known her many years, and have taught her voice lessons and piano lessons for 4 of those years… she is just amazing. She’s fun to teach, and so willing to learn and to practice, and she has a great desire to succeed. Her mom teases that she might want to be like me when she grows up; sings, plays the piano, loves theater, just started playing the cello… The funny thing is if I had a daughter I would hope that she was a little bit like Mackayla Thorne. Beautiful inside and out.

Last week a good friend, and neighbor of mine, said that her sister needed some new headshots. Sara Arrington is opening Heart and Soul Family medicine on April 5th, so we got out and photographed her right away. I’d never met Sara before but after a couple hours of being with her I feel like we’re already good friends. She was kind, gentle with my kids, and you can really tell she cares about you. I wish her the best in her new family practice!! Hope we get to do it about really soon!
