It's Great to be Eight ... (squared)

These TWIN eight year old boys are the sons of my forever friend JoLayna and her husband Bryan. These two are having a big day Saturday ... no, not Halloween, they are getting baptized. I had so much fun with them. Their personalities are as different as their eye color. That is the best part of photography, seeing the difference in people and trying to "capture" it. Plus, what is a photo shoot without a little Star Wars light saber battle!

Congratulations Brayden and Bentley!

Because there are just too many ...

My favorite part of editing (of which there are few), is when I keep editing photos and I love the next one more than the last. There are so many great ones from this family session I just had too post a few more.

Uptown style meets Downtown

First off, don't you love this family's style? This is my sister's brother-in-laws family, are you following me? I have know John forever, and am so lucky to have photographed his and Mika's gorgeous girls before. Mika is a designer - she was previously a flower designer, and I think she should be either an interior designer or a personal shopper. After seeing their style, I think you will agree.

Brothers

I grew up with Heather and Ryan. This is the second time I have photographed their cute family. Here is a sneak peak of the boys - you may recognize Braden from my website. Jace may be the sweetest baby ever. I shot these during halftime of a Utah away game. This is funny because Ryan's dad was my biology teacher in high school ... and a huge BYU fan. Each year we exchange gifts and sometimes jabs before the BIG game - this tradition has spanned over 16 years. Dang, I should have dressed the boys in Utah gear and sent Grandpa a photo of the boys in red. Maybe next year ... for now, enjoy!

Oh, and I made it back home with 10 minutes still remaining in the 3rd quarter. Not bad!! Go UTES!

The next two are my favorites!

The Sisters

This was my second time photographing these girls. They are so sweet and easy to work with ... not all kids are. Thanks to Ryan and Melissa, for jumping up and down and shaking keys behind my head. Parents make the best assistants!

Caught Red Handed

This is my niece Gabi. She turned two today! She is really this animated ... all the time. She is funny, beautiful, smart and my three year old refuses to be nice to her. Good thing she is as tough as she is cute. Happy Birthday Gabs.
