sweet nicole christensen took these photos a couple weeks ago. i was hesitant being 36.5 weeks pregnant, but then i’d never had them done with my other pregnancies so i had her snap some. i was happy that max came along too. nicole is the sweetest gal and i’m so glad that she and i have become friends.

as i get closer to having my third and as mother’s day was this past weekend, i’ve reflected on what being a mother is to me. i’ve had an incredible example in my own mother to follow and i have to say that although being a mother is one of the hardest jobs, it is definitely the most rewarding job i have. i can’t wait to welcome this new little one soon and i know that max will be the best big brother to her. how lucky am i? i can only imagine the sweet departure that this new one will have with my angel, rylee, on the other side before she comes to us. i hope that each one of them knows how much i truly love them and cherish each moment with them. motherhood is heaven, right?

and a few polaroids that max and i took after…

this year for spring break i was too far along to go anywhere so ryan decided to surprise us with a night at the grand america. it was lovely just to spend time away from home. and they had the most amazing candy/toy store at the hotel, max was in heaven. we also ordered room service for breakfast the next morning and they have THE BEST pancakes ever! it was perfect, i just wished we could have stayed longer, but ryan had to catch a flight for a work convention. boo.

i absolutely love this little family and b looked beautiful. so happy they are adding another darling little girl to their family…

now that the weather is finally warm enough, it’s all about being outside. i love this time of year. the smell of grass, planting in my yard and being with neighbors and friends until the sun goes down. a few of us got together for a play date and i was lucky enough to have a best friend, kelli, in town too. so she came along with her 2 girls. here are just a few shots that i could snap…

even though we have a new little one coming in just 6 weeks, i still see this guy as my baby. i know, he’s 6.5, give it up right? i just adore this little man. he is my buddy when it comes to everything. and on this particular day, he came on two photo shoots with me. i am truly smitten by this little mister of mine.

for easter this year, ryan was in charge of the firefighters easter hunt on saturday. it was a perfect morning. doughnuts and milk and a balloon lady to top it off! i didn’t get a lot of pictures, but here are a few.

this little guy belongs to some of our best friends. we adore their family and i was so happy i got to snap a few photos for them. he was a dream and look at all that hair!

this is an incredible family and one that i’ve known since jr. high. i went to school with mitch and riley (twins) and this is their family. tragically, riley passed away in 2001 in a car accident and that is why you see the bronze shoes in the family photo. i’m so lucky i know these people and especially for my friendship with mitch and his wife, ashley.

the day we shot these was probably the worst snow storm utah had seen, but we managed and i love what we got. thank you for letting me in to your home and being a part of your day.

it’s so fun to see what clients do with the work i do….

here are just a few shots.

for susan of freshly picked, we did some head shots for her new website. you may know her from her darling moccasins that have been spotted on mason kardashian.

and for sarah from pepper lou, she displayed her family pictures on canvas and then a really sweet paper spread.
i’d love to see what others have done! send me an email with what you’ve done.

what an incredible night! we had such a good turnout to the first blogger meet and greet in utah. it was hosted by the lovely jane and soel boutique. i met SO many wonderful ladies and really enjoyed the evening. there was yummy food, generous giveaways and a fun photo booth that my pregnant self may have stepped in a couple times. the event was such a success and i was so glad i was a part of something like this. make sure you come to the next one, you won’t want to miss it. here are just a few images i shot from the night, you can see more of my images on the utah blogger website HERE.
here are some of the sponsors for the evening. it wouldn’t have come together without the help of these fine lady friends.
