A happy family is but an earlier heaven.--John Bowring

There are not enough words to describe this wonderful family.  I am just blessed to know them and to call them true friends.

Labor Day weekend

We went to the cabin again.  It was a lot of fun.  I always love to be with family. 

The weather was a little gloomy the first 2 days, but by Monday, it was beautiful and you could not keep us in any longer.  We went 4 wheeling, hiking, and on some tours of some art galleries in Spring City.  I feel so blessed to live in Utah and to be able to enjoy the beauty it has to offer.

Birthday (I am blessed)

I had such an amazing birthday this weekend.  I can not express how grateful I am for my family and friends.  I am truly a blessed individual

I had the chance to take my kids on a picnic up on skyline trail by an abandoned cabin, beware of the zombies up there.  Later that day we took the kids, cousins, and some family crawdad fishing, and I think that was the highlight of the day for the little ones.  Afterwards, we went back to the cabin to cook them (not much meat on them, but they are good).

 As we were getting ready to leave, the love of my life, my husband, stepped on 2 old rusted nails and we had to go to the hospital to get a tetanus shot for him.  Even though the last part of the day was a little more adventurous then I wanted, it was a great day and I would not have changed a thing about it.

Back to School

Summer is almost over!  School starts back for us this coming week.  I have to be honest that I am somewhat sad.  I can not believe how fast this summer has gone and I am not truly ready for the kids to go back to school. In fact, I still have not done any of the school shopping yet.  I am a procrastinator.


In the event of school starting up this week, I had the chance to do a small photo shoot with some cute kids from the neighborhood.  These kids are always fun to work with!  Hope everyone is ready for school, unlike myself.

Divers

I had the chance to photograph 2 very talented kids today.  I am lucky to watch these kids dive almost everyday throughout the year.  They never cease to amaze me with their talent.

K&J Bridals and Groomals

"We do not fall in love with the package of the person, we fall in love with the inside of a person." — Anne Heche


I had the chance to go up to Salt Lake last night to shoot some bridals and groomals.  The couple was too cute.  It is always fun to see the joy and love of a couple that are about to tie the knot.  Love is something that words does not express well enough.  Here are a few photos from last night.

America The Beautiful

A warm summer breeze, an over cast sky, and the beauty of the country land.
