A very important update!!

They are discontinuing Mother's Circus Animal cookies. A staple of my childhood never to be found in the cookie aisle again. I feel the loss already!! I hear that Keebler will be making a knock off. There's just something about that pink paper yet sort of plastic coated bag that I will miss. Good bye Cookies, you will be missed!!

Oh my this guy is to die for!!

Thanks again Jodi for the awesome referral. I just loved this little family!!

Crosby is his name & smiling is his game!! He smiled & smiled & smiled!! Can you believe this little sweater, Alisa got it at a thrift store. Darling!!

The Nery Fam

Ricki and I work together at Marriott. My Marriott co-workers are so fun!! I just love working there, what a dream job!! I've finally decided what to be for Halloween. I'm totally keeping it a secret, watch for photos in a few days.

Tiny Kamden

Thank you so much Holly & Wendy for the referral & Gift Cert purchase!

This sweet little guy was just 8 days old. What a blessing it is to be able to hold and photograph such a lovely little being!!

Hannah Andersson is having there Holiday Dresses sale. They have the most darling things. Be sure to get those Holiday Outfits ready for Holiday Pictures :)

BOOOO

Yes, I was a toilet for Halloween. You see I've always had a creative mind. I came up with the idea, constructed the costume and even fastened important details like air fresher, tissue & the ever so important roll of TP there on the right side. My favorite part was that I collected the candy in the toilet bowl. Ingenious indeed!! Speaking of ingenious, check out the cake I found online. Isn't that clever!!

Another Ali

My baby sister's name is Ali, although this Ali is Alison and my Ali is Alissa. My Ali called me freaking out last night and told me that she was at Thriller at Tuacan in St. George and that Matt was the main dancer. Now Matt was on So You Think You Can Dance last season. He's from Utah and was totally Ali & My's FAV!! She said she got a photo with him, but that he had his mask on. She said she was a total Middle Schooler, all shy and gitty and freaking out over him. I totally would have been the same way. A few minutes later she texted me and said she got one with his mask off. I told her to send it to me immediately!! That photo is definitely post worthy. As soon as I get it you'll be seeing it too!! Ali, you lucky dawg!! Anyway, aren't these photos darling. She's so on top of it getting her grad photos already!!

The Madsen Fam!!

Thanks a bazillion to Jac, Jod & Danielle for the awesome referral

Friday was way fun. I shot the Madsen's in the morning, a brand new baby in the afternoon and a graduating senior in the evening. Then I hooked up with some friends and we went the a symphony concert at the "U". The entire symphony was dressing in Halloween costumes. I think my fav was the girl dress as red hanger dry cleaning. So clever!! Finally to the best part of my day, we went up in the Aves to Hatch Family Chocolates (Shorties) and got hot cocoa!! Amazing!! Delicious Sweet Succulent Tar. mmmmm

Halloween Cupcakes

I think these are the cutest things I have ever seen. I saw them on the Martha Stewart website. Darling Darling Darling. I have no idea what I would make them for. I almost want to have a Halloween party just so that I can make these cupcakes. I made one Halloween decoration this year. I got a little pumpkin and poked lot of dum dum stuckers into it. It was super cute until the pumpkin start shriveling & melting on my coffee table. For whatever reason it didn't occur to me that my pumpkin would decay after having a zillion holes punched in it and sat on my table for days. hmmm, well I guess I'll skip that decoration next year.

Baby Presley

Baby Presley's Blessing was at the beginning of the month. Truely family pix should come first but they always seem to be pushed to the side by the next project. So, this photo is dedicated to Mimi (my mom) who asked me yesterday "when will i get to see Presley on your blog". Here you go Mimi!! Isn't she precious!!

The Cicon Fam

What troopers. It was fridged cold outside yesterday, the wind was so strong & biting. Anything for a good family photo!! I definitely think it was worth the pneumonia all of us are going to catch :) These couch pictures turned out so rad!! We really did have such a great time. I ended up staying for at least 3 hours just hanging out (inside that is). Nettie, you are wonderful it was so fun to get caught up. I hope to see you soon!!

One Year Old Braxton

Remember this little guy? He's one now!! He was tiny tiny last time I shot him. He was an absolute doll at the shoot. His Mom, Aunt & Grammy cames to help him smile. They would be silly and then he would look right at the camera and smile & giggle. I was totally cracking up. What a fun shoot, even with the cold temps.

The Johnsons in the Fall

Aren't these fun fall pix. I just love walking in the leaves and drinking hot cocoa to warm up. Alright, so I totally drink hot cocoa all year round. However, to drink it because you are cold is the most fun!! I also love motorcycle rides up Millcreek in the Fall. The bike swooshing through the leaves... heaven!! I wonder is my back could handle just a short ride - just kidding Mom!! Happy Autumn everyone!!

They Should Recieve Grammy's!!

One of my clients is creating a Polynesian dating site and needed some marketing shots. How cool is that!! If only I was available (just kidding sweety:) hee hee hee. I just love getting involved in these super cool ideas. I would love to do more to help small business's. If anyone out there needs help with photos for their business oh please talk to me. I will always give you a trade or a deal. I'm hoping to get a free membership to this site - just to look of course!!

Can you believe that these 2 couples aren't even dating. They should totally receive a grammy!!
