Baby Anton

This precious little baby boy was my first little BOY to shoot!! And he has AMAZING red hair- as you are about to see! This cute little fellow was so good, he had a little snack and then slept the whole time! We moved him and put hats on him and he just slept away! He was SO cute and so fun to hold and snuggle!
You might want to keep tabs on this little guy... if he doesn't have a career in modeling, he will probably live up to his name sake and compete in the Olympics! That and his mother is an amazing athlete and coach....

Leupold Family Photo Session

This is one of the most precious families EVER! In a word the Leupold are EXTRAORDINARY. The oldest Zach is an extremely talented wrestler, Britta owns her own business (see end of this post), and Nate is genius (just wait- he is going to cure cancer). Mr. Leup is an amazing teacher and has coached the LCHS volleyball team to numerous State titles. And Jane... is my hero. Not only is she the glue that holds this family together, she does an incredible job being a wife, mom, friend, encourager, all while fighting an extremely aggressive form of cancer. Her smile lights up a room, and all her nurses (and anyone who comes in contact with her) are encouraged and smile more because of her. So here are a few of the snapshots of this wonderful family. Enjoy- cause I enjoyed taking them!

And this is famous Britta owner of The Culinary Queen for all your yummy baking and cake needs! I will hopefully make another post in the near future with more information on that. She is amazing and everything she makes tastes unbelievable!

Lucy Jude

Little miss Lucy Jude, what a precious baby girl!! Mommy, grandma, and Lucy came and spent the afternoon with us and we had such a wonderful time!! Lucy was SO good. She is three weeks old, so she spent alot of the time awake and checking things out. But as soon as mom got out the hair dryer she was passed out! I am not kidding this baby loves the hair dryer!! Maybe I should try that trick with my other shoots! Here is a little sneak peak to our afternoon shoot with miss Lucy. And it's official- I LOVE LUCY!!

I live that she is throwing the "I love you" sign in this one!

I LOVE this photo of mommy and baby!

Maggie Mae...

After thinking spring was finally here.... 50 and sunny yesterday, I once again got my hopes bashed this morning when I woke up to 5 inches of fresh snow. Don't get me wrong, I love snow... I am just a bit tired of it and READY for spring. So after that very disappointing morning, my day got a whole lot better.

I got to shoot some "just because" photos of my best friend today. It was cloudy, cold, and a bit dreary, but no matter what we do Mag and I have a good time together. I know this is super clique but Maggie is one of those women that is BEAUTIFUL inside and out. She is such a precious person and touches so many people with her kindness and fun sense of humor. What makes her so beautiful on the outside is that she really has no idea how DROP DEAD GORGEOUS she is.... so I will leave it at that, and let you have a sneak peak to one of the most beautiful women in the world, my best friend, and my little sis.

new life...

is SO precious!! And this adorable baby girl is no exception! This past weekend I had the privileged of shooting my 1st newborn shoot! Precious Kinsey Reece Briscoe is 7 days old, and I have to say she was an amazing model for me! She was so good!! She didn't cry the whole time and let me put her and move her all over the place. Kinsey has two adoring older sisters and pretty much got to skip the awkward newborn stage, since she was born 9lbs. 8oz!
I learned so much spending the afternoon with this precious baby and her family- who happen to be wonderful friends of ours. Here are a couple of my favorites shots. Welcome to the world baby Kinsey!

Is it bad that after cuddling and holding this precious baby that now I want another one?!? Thanks Briscoes for sharing your afternoon and your wonderful family with me!!

Channing Family, Phoenix AZ

This weekend we had the privilege to visit some wonderful friends in Phoenix! The weather was beautiful so we went to the zoo!! Claire is 4 months old, and Will is 2 and 1/2. Eric is going to Seminary and Sara is doing WONDERFUL paintings... hopefully I will be posting more about those later, and she is staying home with Will and Claire! Thanks guys for letting us come visit, we love you!!

And little Abs on her 1st Carousel ride!

Happy January!
