Favorites from 2010

Holy mega post, batman! What a whirlwind of a year this has been. In fact my next post is all about the changes this year has brought, but first I wanted to share some of my favorite images that I created in 2010. Although I enjoy meeting with all of my clients, these images are ones that I feel define me and my style, and were thought out and created to appease myself. Maybe a little selfish, but hey, hopefully you'll enjoy them too! I tried to keep the number of images down, so hopefully you'll make it to the end. :)

Big post coming soon about the changes of the year and I'll be featuring one of the sessions that has one of the images below that you've not yet seen!

Carlsen clan

What can I tell you about Danni and Aaron? Well, for starters, they are amazing. They inspire. They work hard. HARD. Danni is strong, fun, brilliant and beautiful. Aaron is quiet, loving, smart and supportive. I can also tell you that, in very selfish ways, my life has been better for knowing them.

Danni is one of my absolute favorite people. I have learned so much from her through her example. I have loved observing her as a person, and have been amazed and humbled on so many occasions.

This family is dear to ours. She has four children that are roughly the same age and the same gender as my own. And what's better, they get along so well.

I am grateful for their presence in my life, no matter how short lived it will be. They are going on a service mission, and I can't wait to hear about their adventures. You have to read their blog, and I'll be amazed if you aren't inspired by them as I am. If you have any way to help get them started on their journey, contact her! Or, contact me, and I'll help you contact her.

Danni, thanks for being one of my best friends. You've made me a better person. Love ya!

P.S. I'm really not digging the way blogger is making my pics look lately. If you want to see a crisper version of any of these, just click on the image.

Thomas Family

Fall is my favorite time of year, and now that the snow is falling, I figured I'd better share my favorite Fall session with you! I just love these guys. Thanks Thomas family, it was great seeing you again!

Mulford Family

This family is really a hoot. They are in my ward and I just sit back and admire them. They are full of love and laughter and we had such a fun little session a bit back. I think I went home with sore stomach muscles from laughing so hard. And this was such an important stage to capture, with one son getting married in a few short weeks, and the other getting ready to leave on his mission. Thanks Mulfords!

Maxwells

It's always fun for me to get to hang out with old clients for a while, and to see how their families grow. Like the addition of this incredibly handsome little guy:

To this sweet little character:

What a gorgeous family!

With and incredible back yard. :)

Thanks Maxwells!

And, my lights sold, but I still have my backdrop stand for sale, if anyone is interested. It's portable!
