This is my cute niece, she is autistic and can be difficult to photograph. I was taking pictures and she jumped on my set up and said take my picture. I was able to snap this one shot before she ran away. I love the way it turned out and am glad that I was able to capture this shot.

Thanks Sherry

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to come and photograph my beautiful niece. I know you hadn't planned on these pictures but I am so glad we went for it. They look beautiful.

Oqurrh Mountain Temple

So on friday we took the kids to the Oqiurrh Mountain Temple open house. It was crazy busy (hint: never go on a friday, holiday weekend, or in the evening.) It took us 3 hours to go through the temple. Earlier that day I was at the gym and pulled a muscle in my calf doing step aerobics. I was in a lot of pain but we went anyway. So 3 hours of standing and walking (albiet slow walking being that we were in a line) but walking non the less. It was a long night but so worth it. There were so many people there that I wasn't able to get any full pictures of the temple but here are a few angles I was able to get without any people in it. This temple is beautiful, I want to go back when I can take pictures of it without people in the way. And I just have to add Gabby was a tropper. I am so greatful for the children that I have.

So the other day we were sitting in the front yard and I looked over at the trees and the light from the sun shining through the trees was breath taking. There was this amazing sun flare coming through the trees and I wanted to practice capturing sunflares. I just learned a new technique and wanted to see if I could accomplish it.

I asked Pete to get the camera for me. I had been to the zoo with the kids earlier and had my 28-105 sigma lens (I hate that lens) on the camera. I was having such a hard time getting anything decent. The focus is soft and the color is dull but it's my longest focal lenght. I just hate it and thought for sure that I hadn't got anything decent. I was going through my pictures and found this one and after pping this picture I just fell in love.

Not with the lens but with Pete. I know your all thinking, "what you fell in love umm ok." Don't you ever have those moments where your spouse does something or you see them and your heart starts to pound and you get giddy thinking "Oh yeah he's mine and I am so in love with him!" Well I had one of those moments today.

Last night Isaac woke up at 2:00 am to eat and I was so tired I couldn't get him to settle down and totally freaked out on Pete for sleeping while I was taking care of Isaac. I know terrible of him right he had the nerve to sleep, what a man. After I saw this picture I felt so guilty for being so crabby. I just want Pete to know how much I love him. He is the best husband ever and I am so excited for our new adventure together.



Isn't he the cutest butter ball ever! Pete and Gabby nicknamed him butter ball because of his lack of hair (such a nice shaped head he has) and his pale skin just like a butter ball.

Tubbers!!

I have wanted to take these pictures for such a long time but the bathroom in my old apt. was dingy and yucky so they never turned out the way I wanted them to. Now that we are Pete's parents I can take them. This first one I have wanted to take for a long time I just could never get it right. I love it and can't wait to print it and put it up in my bathroom when we get our new place.



Aren't they so cute together.
