I have so much when I get to photograph this family. The kids are just so awesome to work with and I am just always so impressed by their attitudes. It was cold this day and they still managed to make it through (Poor E had a rough time but she still managed to be a good sport )

I was happy to have the opportunity to photograph the J family. They are some awesome people and I have loved getting to know L and some of her children. I taught K in Primary and A in Young Women’s for a couple of years. I am constantly amazed and humbled by A’s attitude and perspective in life. It is quite obvious that L and D are teaching their children well and that their children choose to do good things not just because Mom and Dad tell them, but because they choose to. L is one of my favorite role models as a mother and A gives me hope that I can have a daughter like her some day.

I love that the J’s are a “big” family. John and I have a desire to have a large family also (although we’re a little behind and might be slightly insane for having such a desire.) I love seeing large families that get a long so well. It’s quite different than what I am use to and gives me hope that I can have the same for our crazy insane family too

Lxi and her family are pretty awesome. Lxi owns LivinginAmethyst and Living in Ivory. You’ve seen some of our newborns modeling some of her work Be sure to check out her work and “Like” her facebook pages!

And now here are some adorable fun pictures of her sweet family.

Here is a scarf Lxi recently made. Be sure to check out here work at the links above!

This Session makes me smile every time I think about it. I’m soooo glad C finally made the announcement so I wouldn’t burst from keeping this secret I was completely thrown off when they showed up for their family session and they told me their happy little secret. It was fun and of course C had the cutest ideas that I think turned out great and sure made for a good laugh and happy memory. Enjoy!

This was perhaps my favorite Family Session this summer. They wanted to do a lot of candid style type of photos and I just love shooting this way. I feel it captures the raw emotions and facial expressions of everyone and helps to be more relaxed for the traditional posed portraits.

I loved meeting and working with this family. They were genuine and just all around awesome. One thing that really stuck out to me was how close they were. You could just feel the love and quality of their relationships, especially amongst the sisters, including their sister in law. It was inspiring to me.

I have a lot that I wanted to share from this session so I felt it best to highlight their images in a slideshow. Enjoy!

It was so great to see this family again. They are so sweet and fun to work with. Their little girls are just too cute for words.

I have been blessed to meet such great families these past few months. Loved this family. Fun, laid back, and the most adorable baby girl ever!
