Hike.

Griffen Family: Salt Lake City Mini Session.

This little 20min mini session with the Griffen family was so great! I can honestly say that these kids were among the most adorable kids I've ever photographed! Enjoy.

. . .

So my mother in law and I were minding our own business, peacefully cleaning up the house we rented in Oceanside to get ready to check out when suddenly we heard a bit of a commotion in the garage. We decided to investigate. We found a full on toddler jousting tournament was underway . . . plumber style.

Raleigh wasn't totally thrilled with us when we told them the game was OVER. Tough life. He'll have a lot to tell Ricki Lake. . . about how his mom ruined his life by refusing to let him play with human feces.

YES!!!

My friend Tracee just sent me some images of our family from when we modeled at Jon's workshop! Thanks Tracee!! Be sure to check out her awesome work here.

Cardon in his pre hair cut days. . .
now I remember why I cut off all that beautiful blond hair. . .
he looked quite crow magnum man esque. . . :)
Oh and yes, he's taking a leek in the bushes,
because, well what else would Cardon be doing?

Bliss.

Heading Home!

Hi everyone! I'm finally headed home from my SECOND trip to the mainland in 2 days! I got back to Honolulu Friday and headed back out on Sunday for my uncle's funeral. OH GOODNESS GRACIOUS PLEASE GIVE MY LIFE SOME LEVEL OF NORMALCY!

Can't wait to get back and:

1. Kiss my man
2. Snuggle my boys
3. Pay bills!!!
4. Get all caught up!!
5. Convert my office into a lovely studio/work space (no I still haven't completed this project!)

In the mean time enjoy this fantastic DIY idea from photojojo:

I love how kitchen friendly this is! Eco friendly too! LOVE IT!

Dear Uncle Bart,

You were the BEST uncle a girl could have ever asked for.
Thank you for loving me like a daughter.
I will miss you more than I can even begin to describe,
but I take comfort in knowing that we will all be together again someday.

Give Gavin a big high five from me!

I LOVE YOU BART.
