Carrie and the kids… in my yard!

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!

 

 

 

 

 

Bradford’s 2022

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!

 

Braden’s Graduating!! How could that be?!

So in 1989 my family moved from Tucson, Arizona to Clearfield, Utah.  Right next door was a girl my age and we became instant friends.  I remember Carrie and I watching Jazz games together, scary movies (like The Changling! Ahhh!), cartoons like Animaniacs,  sewing the same pants, going to district science fairs together, high school dances, choir concerts, weddings, game nights… we’ve been in each other’s lives forever.  She’s one of my very best friends.  Still we are there for each other.  We always get together at the beginning of the year for our birthday celebration at Zupas, lately we’ve been having a summer BBQ on the lake with tubes and paddleboards, at Christmastime Carrie hosts our annual Fondue dinner and dessert. We’ve had wonderful times.

I’ve also been able to watch her 4 beautiful children grow up.  Braden’s one of the oldest of my friend’s kids.  He was born more then 6 years before my oldest so I’ve looked at him, and the way Carrie and Jared have raised him, as an example for my kids.  I’ve been able to watch a small boy who would color all over basement walls with permanent marker and worried his parents to pieces in elementary school to a young man ready to graduate from high school and go on a mission.  He is such a fun, loving, respectful young man.  Carrie and Jared you have such a remarkable boy!  You’ve done such a great job!  Thank you for letting me take his portraits today.  I think he loved it!! lol  I love you Both!

 

 

 

Zach

The other day I went and spent the evening with Zach and Allison England.  We went to the Ogden Botanical Gardens and found many great places to take some awesome senior portraits!  Zach was a great sport! He was happy to pose how I asked, and he was also very happy when we were done!:)  I think we created some awesome images, and I’m so excited to spend some more time with Zach and Allison, and get to know the rest of the England family as we take their family portraits in June!

Congrats on graduating Zach!!  You are in for a great adventure!!
