I met this gorgeous lady about 16 years ago when she was just 11 years old. I was just dating her brother at the time. Flash forward all these years later... I have been married to her brother for 15 years now, just got done having my fourth child and she is now having her first baby. I have loved being apart of watching her grow into the beautiful young woman she is today and I love and admire her more than she will ever know. So excited to be there through this next journey of motherhood with her. 

This little pumpkin she is growing is due in October. A pumpkin for Halloween! 

Because she is having a boy I thought it would be perfect to shoot by this old historic pizza joint on the historic part of main street. It has all these blue chippy doors, windowsills, and molding. All that blue is just

 Blue-tiful! 

The Utah lake may not be a nice smelling place or a place you want to dip a toe in but it makes a pretty backdrop in this Utah dessert. 

I love photographing this chick, she is such a good sport and has been putting up with me for 16 years now. All my silly demands for her to twist and rotate her head in all sorts of contorted ways to get the shot just right, she always up for it. 

And she did it...

He is here! Our newest family member! Isn't he adorable?! We sure can't get enough of him!
