What a great and blessed year it has been.  Thank you to all my clients, fans and friends.  May you have a wonderful and meaningful Christmas, from my family to yours!

A couple of frames for the mama.  The rest are coming, I promise!

I am loving this season.  I always have, but being a photographer has taught me to love it even more.  The light and colors of autumn are so beautiful!  

This family was just plain fun and made my job easy by being so gorgeous.  I mean, come on, what's better than redheads in the fall?  We scheduled this shoot for a weekend I would be in Bountiful.  We agreed on a location, and I knew there was a fairly good chance I'd run into a few other photographers, as it's a popular canyon, but holy moly!  If you saw a pull-back shot on any of these photos you'd see a photographer here, here, here and here.  Oh, and here and here (that's you imagining me pointing).  But we found a few great pockets of light anyway.  

It was so great meeting (and re-meeting) you, Pitt family!  Let's do it again, shall we?

Remember this little cutie?  He's six months old now and as charming as can be, with that little smile.  See his three month shoot here.

To be a Senior.  The fun, the anticipation, the accomplishment, the emotion!  This is a girl who has it together, and I love her to bits.

It's been a few weeks since I've added a photo to an i {heart} faces challenge, but I just loved the theme this week.  See all the beautiful entries here.

"You know my mom?" one of the littles said to me.  She held my hand as we walked across the grass. 

"Yep.  For a long time," I answered.  I didn't tell her about the time her mom and I almost got kicked out of a courtroom for laughing too loud and being disruptive.  I didn't tell her about the scandalous things she wrote in my yearbook.  I didn't tell her about jumping out of the window of ninth grade English when the teacher wasn't looking.  Maybe she'll hear these things one day.   

What I did tell her is that her mom is amazing.  And looks really grown up in her beautiful dress.  (But I know that secretly she really wanted to run through the marble halls just to hear her heels echo.)
