Headshots & Sweethearts

This is my oldest brother Jaime.  We needed to get some head shots so we ventured out with his daughter (previous post) and beautiful wife Kathi, to downtown SLC.  

 He is the author and cartoonist of the "Wanted Hero" series.  Check out his work on www.wantedhero.com and see his amazing talent!

 Since we were out...it had been a LONG time since he had a picture with his sweetie so I told her to get in there and we shot a few!

 What a handsome guy!

 Kathi...even after all these years and 11 beautiful children later...you amaze me at how gorgeous you are!

 Love this alley way pic!

 Jaime does "serious" faces really well.  So I was VERY happy to catch smiling pics of him!

It was a great time with all three of you!  Miss you, love you, let's do this again soon!  XOXO

Birthday girl/Senior

This is my absolutely beautiful niece Leilani...she turns 18 on Nov. 2nd...HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweet girl!

She is my oldest brother's daughter...one of 11 children:)

 Her mama is half samoan and gorgeous...so...you can see where she gets her polynesian good looks.  BUT...can't leave out my cute brother and OUR side of the family either! hehe...let's just say she's a good mix!

 She has started playing the violin so we wanted to get a few shots of her with her new instrument.

 We had fun downtown...

 Love these doors.

Thanks Leilani for being a good sport!  LOVE YOU!

Gorgeous BABY mama!

This beautiful baby mama is my good friend and hair stylist, Erica.  No words can describe her beauty...but I still miserably fail.

 She is going to have her first child...a little girl.

 The place we wanted to shoot at was too cold and snowy so we decided an intimate shoot right at home would be fine.

 I am so glad we decided this because her bedroom with that colored wall was an AWESOME backdrop...especially with her outfit!

 I couldn't have picked a better place.  Plus, this is where she is bringing home her new bundle of joy, so what better place to make this memory.

 She is the picturesque model for me.  So laid back and I love that she trusts me and my vision of what I want it to look like.

 And those eyes...piercing blue.  "le sigh"

 I love her lashes and her belly in this one:)

 This was so sweet, innocent, intimate AND romantic.  This baby is so lucky to have these two for parents.  She will get to see their deep love for each other...

 Okay...this one makes me smile cause they belong in a magazine.

Erica... it was truly a pleasure and always is with you!  Love you SO much and can't wait to meet little Kennedy!  XOXO

Extended Family Shoot!

This is my beautiful friend Lisa's family.  She lives in Arizona, so it was my privilege to get to take these wonderful photographs.

 She is one of three gorgeous sisters...knock outs!

 What a beautiful family!  They raised incredible ladies!

 Such a sweet couple:)

 This is the oldest sister and her family...they just moved to Utah.  SO cute!

 And...the baby sis and her family.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree with these kids!  We can tell where they get the mold for their good looks!

 Awe...my sweet friend Lisa and her darling family.  I am so grateful that even though it is only once a year (maybe) that I see her...it makes me so happy to catch up when we get the chance.  I was excited to meet her sweet husband and cute boys.

Thank you again Lisa...for letting me capture these moments!  Love you and hope to see you again soon!  XOXO

Miss "M" Seniors

This beautiful Senior is my cousin.  I met her for the very first time at the shoot!  I know...her mama married my first cousin and they live up north.

She plays the guitar...what a cute pink one she has!

 Love this shot...

 We had fun at this park/garden.  It has such beautiful architecture all around.

 I love the trellis with all the gorgeous green vines!  Isn't she darling!?!

 She brought her homecoming dress to the shoot and I loved it!  The green is the perfect color for her!

 Talk about Grecian Goddess!

I enjoyed all her outfit choices...she has adorable taste!

Thanks sweetie for a fun shoot and I am so happy we got to meet!

"H" Family

This is my friend Liz's family.  I adore this woman.  I've known her for about 17 years.  Man...I dated myself:)  This is her handsome son, Mr. A who is also a Senior.  This smarty pants is graduating early and is only 17...the youngest in his class.

 Beautiful Liz...Love you!

 Their family is darling!  I will be sad when they move next summer:(

 Every sibling relationship has it's up and downs but I love this pose, their smiles...says it all.

 Making mom laugh...

 Love the laughs!

 Okay...this 13 year old does NOT look 13!  She is beautiful and her eyes just POP!

 This cutie pie is older...I know...she HATES it because she looks younger than her baby sis.  But she is 14 almost 15!

We had fun...I'm so glad I got to enjoy this time with them!
