{Christmas}

I love taking pictures of my nieces and nephew. They just grow up so fast. This has been such a wonderful Christmas spending time with all six of my siblings and their little families and my mom.

{General Conference}

In our church we have something called "General Conference" twice a year -- in April and October -- where the whole church world-wide gathers to listen to our Prophet and other church leaders. Each conference makes such a difference in my life and this time around was no exception. One of my favorite talks was one of Elder Uchtdorf's. (http://new.lds.org/general-conference/2010/10/of-things-that-matter-most?lang=eng) I am so grateful to be able to hear words from the living prophets.

"If life and its rushed pace and many stresses

have made it difficult for you to feel like rejoicing,

then perhaps now is a good time to

refocus on what matters most."

{Amber + Ben}

These lovebirds met in high school student council, hence we decided to take some pictures at some high school bleachers. This gorgeous couple was so easy to shoot and so adorable. Below you will find some pics of them in their student council sweaters. What a fun night (even though it started getting a little too dark a little too soon...) We ended the night at the Spanish Fork fountains. Congratulations you two : )

Penelope Kate

Eleanor's World

I'm visiting/helping my sister Sarah in Akron, Ohio (home of Lebron James I just found out), as she is about to have her 2nd child any day now. Eleanor is my niece and she is so adorable. She wakes up every morning and puts on pearls and brushes her hair. Me and Sarah wonder how she got so girly since we are not like that haha. Anyway, this picture was taken with my sister's Nikon camera, which I may say that I love Nikons now (Canons will always be my favorite however). Also, it is impossible to get her to look at the camera, but I found this one was kind of cool with her cute little lips. This picture may not convey it, but Eleanor is one of the happiest toddlers I know. We are really good buddies now.

I can't wait for my new niece Penelope Kate to come!

{the many faces of Jolie}

It was so hard trying to get this little girl to smile. Good thing she is so adorable.

{The Baker Family}

Here are a few of my favorite pictures of the the oh so adorable Baker family...

I LOVE this little girl. She is the cutest and her parents are so cool, so fresh, and so fun. I would say this was one of the most fun shoots I've had.

{Katie & Jordan}

Here is a sneak peek at Jordan and Katie's engagement pictures. Me and Katie did study abroad in London together and I just think she is awesome. These two were so fun to shoot.

{baby blessing}

I think babies' blessings are the most special things. I was fortunate enough to attend my niece, Pearce's, baby blessing in San Diego. It was such a sweet experience to listen to her father give her such a special blessing. This little girl is headed towards great things. I love capturing precious moments like these.

{pearce elizabeth}

Don't you just love babies? Me, Emily, Freddie, and my niece Pearce went to the beach in Encinatas, Ca today and decided to take a few snapshots. Pearce is the one of the sweetest and easiest babies I have ever met. I just love this little girl.

What a fun day shooting engagement pictures or my old roomie, Jessica and her fiance, Michael. Thanks for being amazing. An engagement video is in the works-- stay tuned!
