My Miracle Niece









Last month was one of my sweet nieces "1" year birthday. She and her Mommy flew in for a family reunion that my sister in laws family were having. So I asked her Mommy if I could take her 1 year photos while she was here. She was so full of smiles and excitement I loved every minute of this shoot! You are probably wondering why she is my miracle niece, right? Like the name of the song by george strait thats called "I Saw God Today", I have personally seen Miracles right before my eyes throughout my life and she was definintly one of them(I really wanted that song for her post but my playlist wouldn't accept the song for some odd reason so I picked this song that is one of my favoites just for ANY kid). This little girl just a few days after birth went through a 14 hour open heart surgery, her parents spent hours and hours sitting by her side at the hospital holding her sweet petite hands,kissing her sweet little head and having faith in the Lords hand that he would get her and them through this trial in their life...We are so happy she is here today celebrating her 1 year birthday! Her parents (my younger brother and his wife) are two people I truly admire for all they went through with this little miracle baby. Happy 1 year birthday to my sweet little miss "A"!  Her Mommy even put together a "Heart" themed bday party for her...with a heart shaped cake etc. How creative huh?!

Born to be Wild!!!















So my Dad,Cousin and some Church Friends finally went on a Harley Davidson trip that they have been dreaming of doing for years. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a few shots of them before they headed on the "highway." They were born to be wild!!! I love the shirts they had made..CTR=Choose To Ride (instead of Choose The Right). What a great group of men..Thanks Guys!

Heaven on Earth







My Little family and I just returned home recently from a trip to Utah/Idaho for my younger brothers graduation from BYU-IDAHO. We enjoyed our trip very much especially the time we got to spend with just our little family. One of our favorite parts of the trip was as we traveled from California to Utah and Idaho we made sure to point out every LDS Temple we saw to our sweet little girls and tell them the name of each temple. They loved going to Temple square there in Salt Lake City. Here were just a few photos I took of the Salt Lake Temple and St George. I took a few other ones of a few other Temples also but here are just a few. Enjoy!
