M cuts my hair and I photograph her gorgeous family.  I like our system.

S somehow gets cuter every time I see her!

I got to meet R for the first time and this mama sure loves her baby boy.  He was the sweetest little guy!

This is yet another family that I've gotten to see grow up.  My sister used to live right next door to them when these twins were just babies!  I photographed them for the first time when I was doing a school project on twins when they were around 8 months old.

Oh, twinners.

I worked for Ryan for years and he used to teach me in an early-morning religion class when I was high school.  I've loved this family for a long time and this was their first time getting family pictures!

The last shot of the night.  I love.

I babysat these kids for years when I was younger (starting when I was 16!).  The biggest shocker was the oldest's deep voice.  Seriously.   When did that happen?

I loved seeing them all and it was even more fun to get to photograph them again!

We ended with a giant dog-pile on dad!

I got to photograph these handsome brothers when I went to San Francisco!

I got the biggest grins from this little one, I think he was flirting with me .

At the end of the shoot we found some squirrels and they got SO close!  The boys were fascinated.

Last time I photographed this family I said these were two of the most gorgeous kids ever.  Well, now there are three.

J is apparently just like her big brother and one of the most chill babies ever.

I just loved photographing you all!

When I was in California in October (I know, this is a long time coming), I was buying some jewelry from Leisa (check it out here, I LOVE her stuff) and she asked if I did trades.  Absolutely I do!  I got to get way more jewelry than I was planning on and she got a photo shoot of her adorable family.  It happened to be a really rainy week and we had to cancel on the day we planned for, but last minute Leisa was able to pull together everything for the shoot on another day.  Her husband was at work and happened to be wearing that shirt (which has orange stripes) so she planned their outfits around it and I can't believe how cute it turned out (well, I can, since she is so darn crafty).

They ordered this one for their home, I know it will look awesome!

I think this one is soooo darling.  I LOVE pictures of my older siblings holding me when I was a baby (though unless my name is written on the back it becomes a guessing game of which twin is it).

This little guy was right around 6 months and couldn't be happier!

Chances are, if you ever see me wearing jewelry, it came from her.  Thanks again!

San Francisco is such a wonderful place.

I got to go 'home' (San Francisco bay) for Matt and Sarah's wedding!  It was surprisingly cold that weekend, but they were troopers and they look so happy you'd never know it.  This post is very bride/groom portrait heavy, but I loved them so much I couldn't cut anymore out.  The day started off super early!

Married!  Surrounded by so many friends.

They got married at the Oakland LDS Temple.  This is one of my favorite temples to shoot because there is always good light, no matter what time of day!

Their backyard reception was gorgeous.  The house they had it at was amazing and they had a ring ceremony underneath a willow tree in the back.  Loved everything about this place!

Editing these pictures made me soooo hungry.

Sarah used to work for a photographer in Montana and he and his wife came all the way out  for the wedding!

Including more from this awesome wedding!
