I love, love, love big family sessions. I really just can't get enough of them. So when one of the daughters reached out to do a "quick and easy" session to celebrate the grandparents, I was over the moon. We did get rained out and had to reschedule, but we had a wonderful time on the wash.

















Please enjoy this journey through the last 18 months of my photography business that I have not blogged, continuing with Brendan's session before he began his mission in Brazil!
We had a beautiful day at the Gilbert Temple for these images. We snuck in a session in between the busyness of life, and I am so thankful that his mom chose me to document this milestone. I was fortunate to work with Brendan for his senior photos, so he was totally relaxed for this session. We couldn't have had a more beautiful day!










So, I'll admit that I'm not the greatest at keeping up with blogging and posting to social media. In fact, I might just be the worst. I understand why some photographers hire professionals to generate their content. But I'm still insisting on handling all of my social media, for better or worse.
I got a call from a friend the other day about taking good pictures of a vehicle to sell, and I gave the example of the senior session with the Mustang when we went out into the desert....and I started looking for that blog post.....and that blog post....DID NOT EXIST......
Yikes.
Now I remember I shot the session right after I had the 'Vid, so my brain fog was strong. I never realized how strong it truly must have been!
So without further ado, a year and a half later, I present Preston's senior session.....



















For the full session details...let me share that Preston went on to graduate and join the US Marines! He completed boot camp and is stationed in Camp Pendleton. I'm still in touch with his mom (who some might think is my sister). I promise I thought I created this blog post immediately after his session, but it is officially gone, so here we go!
I'm so excited for this sweet couple to welcome their first baby. We were able to document this milestone with both of their parents. This will be the first grandchild on both sides of the family, so I expect this little one will be delightfully doted upon by all. Mom and Dad-to-be requested that the session be in their back yard, and it was a lush oasis. Thank you so much for sharing this moment and allowing me to document it. Now awaiting this little one's arrival!

















I was so fortunate to have the opportunity to document a fiftieth wedding anniversary recently. Family came in from across the country to celebrate this lovely couple. We made a plan and then had to change the plan. And then as we were settling in for a fun, relaxing session....the weather unleashed one of the most insane haboobs of the season! Well, we regrouped and moved to shelter and finished the session. The love in this family shows through in their images! Happy anniversary!
