Sweet at TWO!

 My cousin's daughter is so darling and it was so fun to go "play" and take pictures of her. Plus, it gave us mommies a chance to hang out and talk. She's also a Matilda Jane fan like I am so of course baby girl's clothes were darling too!!

Baby Ari - ONE years old!

UPDATE:

I was just over at her house and saw this:

Just one cute, simple way to display LOTS of pics!

Josh & Nell - Engagements

We went to a couple different places for these and I really love the way the sun ones turned out! Congrats you two!! 

My little Matilda Jane model

One of my favorite clothing companies is having a photo contest. So, before leaving California, I took some shots of Special K in a couple outfits. The one above is my favorite, and it's the one I submitted. It looks pixelated because it's a reduced size as needed for the contest.

Below are ones that I like but didn't quite cut it for me. She was a great little model...when she WANTED to be!

I had a change of pants for her (the one above - she's supposed to be in Gigi pants and polka dot shoes) but in order to keep her happy, I let her keep the pants and shoes...compromise to keep the model happy. ;) It was so fun to do these...I have so much catching up to do!!

Here are some of her funny faces/her own made-up poses. 

My Best Friends' BROTHER'S Wedding...

Being back in Salt Lake has its perks - weddings! The Salt Lake Temple has SO many photo opportunities and I found myself wanting to take all day taking pictures. Luckily for Melissa & Anthon, I didn't do that to them. My friend Jenny met me at the temple and together we took almost 1,000 pictures. It was also fun that she spoke German as well, and we were able to easily communicate with Melissa's family. How nice was it to double team this!? Awesome.

They both looked stunning and giddy - I wish them a happy marriage. Such a beautiful couple! Congratulations guys!

Baby A

Baby A was supposed to come 4 weeks later than he arrived. If that were the case, you might be seeing MODEST pictures of his birth. But since his mommy was on vacation up North and I was on vacation in the West, here are his newborn shots, 5 weeks later. He's still such a little newborn, smaller than any of my babies! He was such a good sleeper, slept the whole time! 

Here are a few shots of my favorite shots that I edited tonight...now off to bed!

Does big sister get any cuter? Forget a kiss, a clear shot of the owie is all you're getting.

Okay, fine. I'll give him a sweet kiss.

Getting back into the swing of things...to keep shooting or not to keep shooting, is that even a question?

Anthon & Melissa

This engagement session was so fun to shoot. I met Melissa for the first time and she is AMAZING. Her eyes light up a room, her laugh is contagious, and her smile is almost enough to bring about world peace. Melissa is German and Anthon, who is my friend's baby brother, served a mission in Germany. So, with my Schweizer-Deutsch (3 years in Zurich), I attempted to speak to them in German. It was fun. Aren't they a great couple!?

Can't wait to show you the wedding photos...coming soon!
