typical saturday morning.

Doesn't everyone 

lay in bed,

in their undies,

and laugh their guts out

on Saturday mornings?

That's normal,

right?

baby {B}

Meet adorable baby {B}.  Pretty much smitten by this little guy and his adorable little fohawk.

I am a little partial to fohawks... and the letter B for that matter and this little guy carries both of them well!  

His daddy is rather in love with soccer and really quite good from all that I hear.

And with baby {B's} cute long legs I am sure he is destined to be quite the soccer player as well.

He also has a big sis that is absolutely, undeniably, totally in love with him.  She loved to watch him have his pictures taken, help her mommy get his binkis, blankets, and diapers, and of course smother him with kisses.

 And then there is his mama... isn't she beautiful!?  Seriously, amazing.

So there you have it, baby {B}.  So adorable.  So lovable and so so so kissable!  I mean just look at those lips... don't they just scream "give me kisses!"  Love it!

the {F} family

While we were in Utah visiting family I had the awesome opportunity to hang out with my new neighbor! What are the odds that I get to see her 400 miles away from home!

They are one of the most beautiful and sweetest families I have ever met and I .0 be any more excited to live by them! And not only are they amazing but so was the location that we got to shoot at. Wowzers! Utah is a beautiful place!

These boys are some of the cutest little guys ever! I loved watching them run around, tell me all about their new shoes, and do everything they could to avoid me. Haha, I felt right at home!

And how can one family have so much beauty...?

...Well look at their mama. How could they not!?

I adored watching these two together. There is nothing like watching love that has grown, strengthened, and developed through years of marriage and yet still has an undeniable spark.

Thanks for hanging out with me guys! It was so much fun to spend time with your cute family and I look forward to many more nights of fun!

the {C} family

This family was an absolute joy!

I was so excited to hear that they had moved to Vegas from good 'ole Utah. Lynsey had the pleasure, opportunity, chance to know my hubs waaaaay back in college and so it was so much fun to finally connect up with her and her cute family!

I am pretty much dying over his cuteness...

...aren't you!?

This little guy just turned 1 and was so excited to dig into his cake. He laughed, giggled, and rocked back and forth with excitement before the cake was even within reach. And despite his wobbly, not quite walking yet legs, he stood up to shout for joy.

It was a riot.

Don't you just want to tuck him in your pocket and take him home with you!?

And cute miss "Beauty and the Beast." I looooooved talking to her about Belle, her very most favorite princess. I don't get a whole lot of "princess" talk at my house so this little girlie was so refreshing and endearing.

They all loved each other so much that there was definitely not a shortage of hugs or kisses... even if they were slobbery kisses!

Thanks you guys! You were so much fun to spend time with. Your kiddos are so sweet and were such angels!

The {L} family

While I was in Ohio I had the pleasure and opportunity of hanging out with this cute family.

These sweet little ones will stop at my parents house every day after school for a hug, a treat, and a chat. How sweet is that!?

They were so much fun to hang out with and truly made my job nothing but pure fun.

They loved each other, they smiled, they laughed, they were just amazing!

Thanks for such a fun evening!

Love you guys!

The {N} family

So, I am pretty sure that they are one of the most beautiful families... um, ever.

And how lucky am I that I get to call them my family!

I was lucky enough to have married Josh's twin brother 5 1/2 years ago and then was so excited to welcome Shannan to the family 2 years after that. And then add James to the mix and a girl just couldn't ask for anything more!

And who would have guessed that we both would end up with blonde babies... go figure!

Love you guys!

The {D} family

I have known this family for a few years now and have many different opportunities to interact with them. They are such a fun family and so so so sweet! We had so much fun at our mini session and ended up with a plethora of fun pictures.

I first met this little guy when he was just a few weeks old. You can check him out here... can you believe how big he has gotten?! Time just flies! He was so sweet and smiley the whole time... I seriously just wanted to stick him in my pocket and take him home with me.

These two were hilarious. Sara wanted her picture taken the entire time and Andrew just wanted to love, hug, and squeeze his baby brother... like only big brothers can. All the kids were an absolute dream!

Thank you Matt and Emily for sharing your family with me. It was wonderful to see you both again and to see how much all the kids have grown... they just make me smile.

The {R} family

One of the things that I love most about my job is the opportunity I get to meet amazing families... and this one did not disappoint! I had a couple of conversations with Stacy before the shoot and the thing that she wanted the most was a picture where they all looked good at the same time... once again, this family did not disappoint!

Are they not absolutely beautiful?!

I like to try and get to know my families before our shoot and one of the things that Stacy told me about her family is how much love they have for each other. She told me how she loves that even though her children are in totally different age ranges they still love and have fun with each other. As soon as I met them I saw just what she was talking about. They loved each other so much and had a great time trying to make each other smile.

And this little guy... how can he not steal your heart!

Thank you Stacy and Brandon for sharing your beautiful family with me! And don't worry Stacy, there are plenty with all of you looking good at the same time ;)

Look who I got to hang out with... again!

I had to much fun with this family that I just had to go back for more. Look at his cheeks... don't you just want to kiss them!

They were so sweet, so much fun and LOVED their baby more than anything!

Thanks you guys! You were quite the troopers in the heat and humidity!

The {C} family

I had the amazing opportunity of not only photographing this beautiful family but attending their sealing in the Las Vegas, Nevada temple.  It was so amazing and such an honor to be involved.  They are one of the sweetest families I have ever met.  They all love each other so much and the big kids LOVE baby Hunter more than anything... they both were dying to hold him in the pictures.

As you can see Savannah has the most beautiful red hair, Austin has some adorable freckles and Hunter... well look at those cheeks!

And mom and dad... can't you just see the love.  So sweet.

Thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your glorious occasion!

Enjoy.
