Kissing cousins

And fruit snack-sharing cousins.

Randee + Miles

These were so fun to photograph! It might have to do with the fact that they've been in love since they were 13...isn't that sweet? Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Just another day with Lucy

Her favorite activity next to having books read to her:

Our Superstar

Isaac finished his soccer season with a bang scoring TWO goals! He improved so much over the season, we're so proud of him. Isn't he handsome?

13 days old

I was so happy to get to photograph the newest member of the Chappell family, my most faithful clients! He is such a good baby!!

Sea World

Sea World was AMAZING! Totally worth the money. I'd never been before so I was as giddy as the kids were. I really need to get a dolphin to train.

Isaac and I both loved the Polar Bears.



Lucy and Daddy watching the dolphin show. Isn't my husband hunky?



Lucy and Geoff's bosses youngest son. She was obsessed with him.



Shamu in all her glory.



Isaac getting ready for a Shamu spash.



On the way home we decided to stop in St. George Utah for dinner and ate on the lawn across from this beautiful temple.

Legoland

Geoff had another conference in San Diego, so we all tagged along. I'd like to give a special thanks to portable DVD players, Pirate Booty and Twizzler Pull n' Peels which helped us make it through the drive.

Thanks to my ever prepared eldest sister Sara, we had two free tickets to Legoland. It was super windy and not the warmest, but we still had fun. Oh, except for when I stood in line with Isaac for a ride for an HOUR and they turned him away because he was a half inch too short. Never been more mad.

I nearly threw-up just watching them on this ride.

Spring

We're back from a family trip to San Diego. Pictures from that to come when I have some time to actually go through them.

Here's one from today: Isaac getting pumped by his neighborhood girlfriend, Bella. Ahh, Spring!

Happy Easter

Sadly, the best picture I had of them together. Could they look any more awkward?



I just happened to have yellow fresh flowers and I couldn't resist putting them in Lucy's hair. It took me back to days as a youngster when my sisters and I would put all sorts of flowers in our hair on Sunday and they'd ended up dead and limp after about 10 minutes.



My blue-eyed boy.



Never been more excited.



Never looks at the camera.

More soccer

Isaac is really getting into playing soccer. It's so fun to watch him! This week my all time favorite moment of his game was when he knocked down a little boy and then bent down next to him. Geoff and I were beaming with pride thinking he was going to help him up. Instead he proceeded to start tickling him.

We have a tongue concentrator on our hands.






Number one fan.



With Chloe, his soccer buddy.

Do Re Mi-continuing the Sound of Music Theme

That's it, I'm moving to Europe.

The hills are alive

At least they were yesterday. Now they are cold and don't feel like singing.





On a side note, I had the rare opportunity of being BEHIND the lens today. The uber talented Justin Hackworth shot Lucy and I. Click here to see some of the shots from today. And don't be alarmed, I am not as serious as I appear in these images. I actually laugh from time to time.

A perfect day

A trip to the library, a picnic at the park, running shirtless and free (only those under the age of 4), warm sunshine, and time with best friends. THIS was the day I've been waiting for for months now.

What a CRAZY weekend!

The Workshop
I was extremely flattered by the amount of interest that was generated for the photography workshop I held this Friday. I sincerely hope it was beneficial to those attending, and that they enjoyed it. It was a new venue for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I was feeling achy and yucky. My good friend Kiera, documented some of the day for me:




Those of you who skipped out on this picture are in trouble!







The Half Marathon
Miraculously, despite feeling badly the day before and sleeping horribly, I woke up feeling good. Then I looked out side and saw the snow. Ugh! My old roommate Sara was in town (an amazing runner!) and agreed to do it with me some weeks ago. It was so fun to have her by my side for all 13 miles as we laughed and reminisced the whole time. I'm so lucky to have such great friends! It was a huge accomplishment for me, one that I never dreamed of doing.

1 piece of white cardstock + 1 chair + 2 loving siblings = A whole lot of pictures
