Pretty in Pink

Ohhhhh........beautiful baby girl! Congratulations to this cute family!!! Here she is with momma....who by the way, just had a C-section a week before.....hello, she looks AMAZING!


And her house was WAY to clean considering she just had a baby!


It was such a joy to be invited into their home to document this new beginning for them.



Love this moment...


Ahhh, so cute! LOVE, LOVE!


Here she slept for perhaps a whole 2 seconds..... but we got it!


I love these next two. Dad just came home from work as we were wrapping up. We grabbed a couple of them sitting on the porch. What a blessed time in their lives... sleepless nights, dirty diapers, crying lullabies. Just kidding... hold tight to these precious moments. Smiles and cooing are right around the corner!


Silly, but this might be my favorite. Dad happens to have a little dirt under his wedding ring, from his day of providing for his family! The contrast of his hands and those precious baby legs....awe, I love it!


It was great weather, hot and sunny outside. We tried to take a few of this sweet girl on daddy's favorite chair.


I love that they always seem to find their thumb!


I think dad will like this one of his two favorite ladies cuddling in his favorite chair!


She finally conked out with the binky... one of life's little pleasures.


Thanks guys! I had a wonderful time and am wishing you all the best with your growing family!

Dallin and Gina

What a beautiful day... as Dallin and Gina committed to an eternity...


with eachother... hand in hand.


They were sealed together in the beautiful San Diego Temple in a sacred ceremony.


Awe, Gina's dad... a proud papa!


These two are headed for a life of laughs... because I know... no matter what this life hands them... these two are bound to laugh their way through it!



The day was full of infectious laughs... by everyone.





Gina wore these beautiful blue earrings that her grandfather gave her... a girl with sentiment... my kinda girl!


I think this next one is my fav...



How you doin'? How YOU doin'?



He, he, he.....Gina sportin' the bib!


My lovely talented Tessa took this next beauty!



This couple was from out of town and had a wonderful honeymoon planned at Disneyland... so cute!


I really loved their shoes..hers first!


But not to be outdone by these bad boys!



C'mon hun!



All my best to the two of you for a happily ever after!

I Love Lucy (couldn't think of a song, haha)

Here is the beautiful Lucia.... or Lucy as we like to call her. I must say I love Lucy because she got more than she bargained for in a photo shoot with me. We planned to do it at my house so I had to make special arrangements for my family. I had a sitter for the little ones, and Jake took the older ones to a baseball game. Well my sitter cancelled, sick and I couldn't get anyone else last minute. But Lucy was game! So I put one down for a nap and the other one in front of a movie. Then Jake came home earlier than expected so there was all four of my munchkins running a muck at one point! THANKS LUCY!!! You are the best!


And you are beautiful!


As you can see, she didn't skip a beat, the perfect model!


That last one and the next one are my favs...




I forgot about this next one Lucy, I like it!



Once the kiddos invaded the house, we headed outside seeking pretty sun flair.



Lucy braved my overgrown lawn... but it was worth it!


Okay... so by this point all the kids made their way outdoors and my daughter Karah was driving the Hot Wheels Jeep around the yard! She must have come inches from driving right over Lucy's pretty head. Needless to say, this was the last shot of the day.


Whew, you survived! My sanity though, that is another question, haha....
