My brother’s family came down to the studio last week. It ended up being a very, very dark day unfortunately. But the gray skies couldn’t keep us down and we still danced and played ring around the rosy with a super high ISO.

I recently had the privilege of being a part of a photoshoot for 3B Yoga, located in the Shops at Riverwoods in Provo Utah. What a treat to be around so many fun and flexible people. My talented friend, Kiera Haddock did a brilliant job on this shoot. I got to try several articles of clothing from their Athletic Boutique and instantly fell in love. All the clothes are buttery soft, flattering and perfect for moms on the go like myself, who enjoy being active, comfortable all while still looking good.

Thank you to Amy Williams over at 3B Yoga for asking me to be a part of your photoshoot. I left feeling very uncoordinated, but renewed in my determination to stay healthy and active. I also may have briefly contemplated leaving with the necklace I am wearing in this shoot. I’m obsessed.

For more information on 3B Yoga and their Athletic Boutique, visit their beautiful website here.

Go check them out and tell them I sent you. In fact, take this coupon with you which entitles you to 25% off on item from their boutique. It’s the least I could do after forcing you to look at pictures of yours truly scantily clad.

Meet the Adams family, a family that’s very dear to me. John hired me eleven years ago to work with him at an ad agency here in Utah while I was finishing up my Graphic Design degree at BYU. Since then, we’ve worked together on and off and remained very good friends. He has taught me so much over the years regarding design and the finer things in life like a good Phil Hendrie bit. I was honored when they contacted me to take their family pictures. Thank you Adams family for your love and support through all these years. Here’s two another eleven years of friendship!

This year was so fun! The kids were really into the festivities. Last night the kids asked me if this was “the REAL Halloween”, since we’d gone to a couple parties before. We had dinner with Geoff’s parents and walked around their neighborhood, then went over to join Amy and her family. The kids were running from door to door like maniacs. You’d have though they’d never seen piece of candy before.

Isaac changed his costume last minute from a Karate Kid to this, something my sister got for us years ago. Whatever.
He said he was “a pirate who was in a wreck”.

Never seen a more perfect Alice in Wonderland. She got her first pair of “pointy shoes” and felt very grown up.

Such a sweet piggy.


Kudos to whoever can guess Geoff’s costume. I was a 1920’s flapper girl the evening before, but couldn’t bring myself to put on the itchy boa again for the night of.

Kate and Geoff’s mom, Bat Lady.

I made myself turn off the computer and forget about the three logos I have to design, two sessions to edit, dinner to make, and left my kids, ALL of my kids, in the hands of a very capable sitter. I jumped in the car with Geoff and some friends and didn’t look back. Because what I had to look forward to was AH-MAZING. So You Think You Can Dance Season 8 SLC tour baby!! It was beyond fantastic and just the break I needed. I thought I was obsessed with the show/talent until I saw the grown woman in front of me weeping. No joke.

Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. I am buried in work, being a mom and church responsibilities. As soon as my head is above water, I promise to post some of my latest sessions.

The kids had two days off this last week and we decided to make it a “staycation”. The kids made a list of things they wanted to do and we did our very best to check everything off the list.

First thing on the list was to go to a pumpkin patch. The one in Springville had a really cool cornbox, if that’s a word.



Then we went to This is the Place, Heritage Park. The kids loved it and we were there for hours learning about how Pioneers lived.

Kate was a dream baby. Missed both her naps and was just as happy as could be.
