Marc and Crystal

This growing family is so beautiful.  The kids are cheerful and full of adventure and life.  I could have spent all afternoon with them, but the fading sun had different plans.

Mr. and Mrs. Toone

This is a true fairytale story.  High school sweethearts, reunited thirteen years later.  These two have always loved each other and their "broken roads" lead them right back to each other with some added blessings along the way in the form of their three beautiful children.  It was a true honor to be asked to tell their story through images...

Deagan

This is one outstanding little man.  He wore this zoot suit to his kindergarten graduation.  There was no need for me to pose him because he did that all on his own.  He knew he was stylin' and was proud to show it!

Rickie

Rickie.... One of the greatest women I have ever had the opportunity to know.  She is about to have her fourth baby.  She is a wonderful example of the beauty of motherhood.  She is simple and natural and I just love her. 

Eleace and Laurel

Best friends, sisters, and forever unified.   These two beautiful women share an unmistakable bond.  It was so easy to feel their connection as I took their pictures.  This shoot was simple and sweet, I think that the "pinky promise" picture says it all.

Practice Makes Perfect

This was a little practice shoot in Ripon with some fellow photog friends.  It was probably the coldest I've ever been.  The wind was blowing and it never did stop raining... but I'd do it all over again if given the chance.  I had a great time, met some fabulous women, and captured a few killer shots.  Here are just a few of my favorites...

Mark and Megan

This is Mark and his beautiful fiance' Megan.  They will be getting married this fall.  This session was a lot of fun.  They laughed and played the whole time.  There's no doubt that these two are in for a very long and happy life together.  They truly are each other's best friend!

Robby

Robby.  This is one super fun, super CUTE guy.  This kid is a triple-threat.  First, he's got those amazing eyes and perfect dimple, second he's a total brain (won several medals in the academic decathlon), and finally, he's about the sweetest kid you'll ever meet.  He has just been called to serve a mission and I have no doubt that he will be a great representative of the Lord!  Way to go Robby... there is nothing but success waiting in your future!

The Fantastic Fallentines

I love this family.  They are a remarkable bunch and a family that will always inspire me.  Their oldest son CJ just returned from his mission, and now Chad is preparing to leave on his.  I was lucky enough to get to capture this special time in their lives.  I love you Fallentines... every single one of you!

The Courtnies...

These girls are beyond description. Best friends, both named Courtney, both full of life and passion.  This was a "best friends" shoot and we had almost too much fun doing it.
