Bear vs Bears

Once a year juniors and seniors at Bear River High School come together for a throw-down on the football field. no pads, cleats or helmets. No boys. Just flags and tough girls. The seniors scored some great touchdowns and beat the juniors. I have to say there were some great runners on both teams...I am guessing soccer players? LOL. Great job Sariah and Cam you both did so well and I had a blast watching you play! I can't wait to see you as seniors!! :)  

Country Kids

Down on the farm. Beat up tractors. Stunning children. Nothing brings out the country feel more then old barns, hay and mud crawling up your shoes and legs. Barb wire poking legs and owl poop on your hands. Going through all the pokes and mud of this shoot it was SO worth every shot. 

Jason, Madison and Carson rocked the camera this weekend. Not only were they stunning but each personality brought something special and unique to each picture. Thank you so much for all the laughs and hysterical faces :) 

September Sunset

While cleaning my closet this weekend, I could see the sky turing pink outside my window. I decided to take me dogs out and the sky was just gorgeous! I had to run up the stairs and grab my camera. The pictures turned out beautiful! 

The sunset below is one of the many reasons I love living where there are no lights after 9 pm and always smells like fresh cut alfalfa. A place where I can play my music as loud as I want without neighbor's complaining. A home where there are always fresh grown fruits and vegetables. Home...

Ethan's Story

Everyone has a story. Ethan's story is more then special. He was born deaf, blind and has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Ethan is not able to feed himself or support his own weight. He discovers the world through his hands and tongue. Yet he has the most enchanting smile, loves to play peek-a-boo and has a family who loves him. 

When Ethan's sister, Vicki, asked me to photograph him as a gift to their mother I was thrilled. To be honest, Ethan's shoot became the most challenging one I have come across. Not able to make funny noises or faces to have him look my direction, I had to find unique ways to interact and pose Ethan. Although highly challenging, it came out to be the most rewarding shoot. I was able to see his silly personality enhance in the photographs and his love for life escape into my heart. 

He and his family have gone through more then I could understand through his 7 years. Lisa you have a wonderful young boy and I was honored to capture this moment in time for you. I hope the pictures are everything you hoped for. 

Little Calia

One year ago, this smily gal was born to the sweetest parents and my good friends . Calia has brought so much joy and laughter to their family and I hope it never ends. Thank you Liandra and Alex for letting me be a part of Calia's birthday. You have such a beautiful daughter and I can't wait to take her pics again! Best wishes and lots of love....

Introducing Khali

Memorial weekend this rambunctious gal was born! Everyone, I would like to introduce Khali :) 

Don't let her sappy eyes fool you...she is the biggest trouble maker. Khal's favorite thing is playing in water, running through the sprinklers, jumping in the pond and then of course rolls in the dirt right after her bath! Love you Khals! 

Home Sickness

Vacation. A simple and peaceful word. Overuse can cause home sickness. And I caught it. After vacationing for 3 weekends in a row, I am grateful to be home. Being on vacation really wears on me for some reason. The smiles on Memphis and Jerzi's faces were priceless, I missed them so much! I decided in celebration of my homecoming to take some pictures that scream "home" -minus pictures of Jerz and Mums! They wouldn't hold still- LOL :)
