Dear Uncle Levi,

We hope you have a great one!

Love, Leon

Kyle's Birthday

Kyle's birthday was a couple of weeks ago, so we had a little family celebration at our house.

Kyle with his nieces and nephews and of course Leon. Just look at Leon...he has no interested in anything but that cake! You may not be able to see it so well in this small photo but he is going in to get some icing.

Leon loves his cousin Hadyen.

Although I clearly said "NO!", Kyle still gave Leon a little taste of some strawberry icing.


The photo business has been pretty slow this year compared to normal. I was dying to take some photos so I got these wonderful kids to help me out. I loved how they just giggled while I took this shot.

I love this one.


Cori, Christina, and Lily...who didn't really like the idea of sitting still and getting her picture taken with mommy and daddy.

Little Harrison in Leon's johnny jumper. May I remind you that Harrison is 2? He looked pretty silly but he loved it. He is so stinking adorable.

We had so much fun with everyone. It was our first time having everybody over at our house. Leon also LOVED having everyone over. He didn't whine one bit while everybody was over.

God Gave Us Families

The words of the this song, sung yesterday by our Primary

children at church, keep echoing in my head:

God gave us families to help us become what He wants us to be -

This is how He shares His love, for the family is of God

I'm so thankful God has given me this family.

Momma Sonny and Baby Jared

I had the fortune of taking some newborn photos for my friend Sonny. I'm hoping to do some more sometime soon. Here are some of my fav's:

I also helped Sonny make a baby announcement to send out. Here is the finished product. Cute, huh?

I'm dying to do more baby/children sessions! Please contact me if you want your little ones to have some portraits taken!

4 years and forever...

Today, Kyle and I are celebrating our 4 year anniversary. I truly feel so blessed to be married and sealed in the LDS temple for time and all eternity to Kyle and our little family. He makes me so incredibly happy. I couldn't ask for a better partner in this life. I'm so grateful for the love and support he gives me. He is always there, he is all I need! Thank you for making my life wonderful and so complete! I'm so glad I get to spend forever with you.

Happy 8 Months!

Tomorrow, my little Leon turns 8 months old! Can you believe it? I love this photograph (above) of him. It captures his silliness so well. Leon has done so much this last month: gotten his first tooth, started to army crawl, started to get on his hands and knees, and we even switched his baths to the big bathtub. He loves taking baths now. He is always in the best mood when he gets out of the bath. I love it. Just take a look at these photographs.

I just can't get enough of him when he is like this. I can't imagine life without him. He puts so many smiles on my face. I love you Leon!
