I give you. . . .Doug and Gene. The goats.

My parents recently got home from a medical mission in Ghana, Africa. Some of my siblings had the opportunity to visit them while they were there. One of my brothers overheard my mom say she wanted a goat, while petting some on the side of the road (she is the definition of an animal lover). She didn't really mean it. My brother decided she did. And so, for Christmas, he gave her. . . . . . .





GOATS. Seriously. I'm not kidding. 2 goats who are now named Doug and Gene. They currently live in her backyard, but she is looking for new owners. :)

They're cute in a weird sort of way, but they stink beyond belief. And at first I couldn't figure out why their eyes were so disturbing, but then my mom pointed out that their pupils are turned the wrong way. Weird.

This is when Doug backed up and looked like he was going to charge me. The shoot ended quickly after. I'm not a fan of being head butted by anything, regardless of its size.

Wishing you all a fantastic New Year!

Cherise and Aaron--temple.

I already had a wedding booked the day Cherise and Aaron were getting married. So we did a little temple session beforehand. Looking fabulous as always. Congrats on the marriage.

Busy, busy.

Some things to blog when I have oodles of time. :)

It's almost here. . . .

The Scott's.

This family. Packed with personality. And I mean that in a good way. :)

My family pics

Despite my complete distaste for being in front of the camera instead of behind it, I obviously value the importance of photography and capturing our family as we grow. So I finally talked Mike Cunningham from the Digital Orange into doing some family pics for us. Anyone who lives in Cali--definitely give him a call! Mike is good friends with my little bro and has been a tremendous help in my quest to become a real photographer!
Thanks Mike. We love them. To see more, go to www.thedigitalorange.com.

And the personality award goes to. . . .

Don't worry, Jacqui. There's plenty more where these came from. :)

Dear Santa.

Cherise and Aaron again.

Yes, we just barely did their engagements. These two don't mess around.
This session is full of shots I love, love, love.
Thanks Cherise and Aaron for being completely awesome and for being some of my favorite clients thus far.
And thanks to my special reflector holder (you know who you are). You did a great job aiming the blinding light.
Enjoy.

I LOVE this shot.

I heard the bride's mom say something about "sexual tension" while taking this shot and I completely lost focus. Good thing I know her or it could have been really awkward. ;)

So sad I won't be at your wedding. The fun we would have had. . . . .
