Long Time No See!

I've been busy busy!  Here's some samples of some of my work in the last year or so.  I love to see my skills progress and get better! Not to mention I have the greatest supporters and models in all the land!

Adorable {A} Girls

I am 100% sure these girls' sweet mama is my oldest, non-related best friend!  We have some SERIOUSLY amazing memories; some hilarious, some sad, some absurd, and some just plain awesome!  A high school day did not pass without me seeing my Mugs.  For three solid years we had lockers right next to each other, and we were teammates (the best kind of friends).

There are not enough words for me to describe how much I love and am so grateful for the friendship of #4 (her jersey number).

One of my favorite things about growing up would be seeing all of my favorite people grow up too!  Meaghan is a fantastic mom to these adorable beauties!!  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE when my best friends have kids and let me photograph them!  I just love it.  I just love them.  I just love her.  I just love these pictures!!!!!

It was so hard to choose, but as always, here are my favs:

Cute Big Sis:

Got to love an adorable sisters picture!

 The new little miss!  Isn't she just the sweetest?!

I loved her ruffley bum!

Dashing Daezia

Words cannot describe how much I love this beauty.  I am so grateful to call her my sister.  My eyes fill with tears when I think how much I love and miss her!  She is one of the strongest, funniest, most amazing people I have ever met.  I am so lucky to know and love her.  I miss her more than words can say, but I will never ever forget the beautiful day of her photo shoot!  I cannot believe she is a senior, but I could not be more proud of the woman she is growing up to be.

It was hard not to share ALL of them with you, but here are my favs:

Love you, Daez!

Patti's Precious Posterity

In the midst of me packing up and moving to the Bluegrass State, I got a Facebook message from my second mom in high school.  Seriously, this woman and her baked goods, delicious team dinners, and well packed bus snacks kept me alive!  I always knew I had another mom who always had my back!  She took such great care of me and treats me like one of her own.  I could NOT say no to this good woman when she asked if I would take pictures of her cute grandkids!  So I got to spend a lovely rainy afternoon with one of my longest, dearest friends Meaghan, her cute little girl, Meaghan's sister Jordan, her sweet two boys and Patti.  There was a lot of laughing, bribing, whistling, and convincing...I was so terrified that I didn't get ANY good shots.  BUT, as I sorted through all of them I was so surprised and excited at what my sweet camera captured!  

So, three weeks later I FINALLY got to editing them!  I'm in love with them!

Here are a few of my personal favs!

Seriously, so adorable!

I can't stop laughing at this one!

So precious!

SO hilarious!

She may not be a physical mini-me of her mom, but by darn she is her personality SPITTING IMAGE!  LOVE IT!

THOSE EYES!!!!!!!!!

We sure know who is grandpa is!  SO cute!

I love that little smile!

Those eyes are a window to that little soul of hers!

I can't get over how much I loved this photo shoot!

The Smashing Spauldings

I know you have seen these cute faces on the blog before, but I cannot stop photographing them.  Any of them.  In any form.  I am sure my insta-followers are SICK of seeing these cuties, but I don't rather care.

Anywho.  I am so so so blessed to call these lovelies my nieces and nephews!  Being an aunt is the greatest calling of my life.  Each one of these beauties hold a piece of my heart, and my heart will shatter when I have to leave them.  But luckily, I have this photo shoot to always remember their sparkling eyes and super big smiles.  Whenever I look at these pictures I will always hear their giggles and laughs as think how fortunate I was to be behind the camera.

We spent a wonderful evening in the east mountains.  The lighting was wonderful and the smiles abundant!  I was also lucky enough to snag a few pictures of my stunning baby sister.  She is growing up into a beautiful little lady.  I am so thankful for this summer and the time we get to spend together.  I sure do love her and that smile of hers!

So, without further adieu, my favorite nieces, nephews, and baby sister:
