WILDER AND LANDRY

Ok, so these brothers are 2 of the cutest boys. Ever. They came all the way from Alaska to visit their grandma and I'm so happy that I got the chance to meet them and their mom. They were so fun to spend the afternoon with! The oldest was a little shy at first but he warmed up...as you can see.  I remember, at one point, when we were all walking thru the park, he walked right up beside me and grabbed my hand.  As we walked hand in hand, we talked about school and bugs and such. Ya know?...boy stuff. ;) I love moments like these and it's those moments that I live for and it reminds me of why I absolutely love what I do.

Wilder and Landry with their cousin, Mason! They could all be brothers!...And, little surfer boys! ;)

I absolutely LOVE this photo! And I love these boys' personalities!

Had to get one with their beautiful mom...

Cousin, Mason...

Here's another favorite! I saved this one for last because it pretty much sums up the afternoon. These boys were so active...there was never a dull moment! ;) Loved every minute!

TAMMY + DAVID

I had the awesome opportunity to photograph Tammy and David while I was in New Orleans for the PartnerCon Conference. These two are simply adorable and it's obvious how much love they have for each other! They are definitely one pretty cool and fun couple! ;)

TYLER

Tyler happens to be one of my favorite little people!.. He's got the biggest, most beautiful-est blue eyes. Ever. And yes, I just said "beautiful-est"! "Cause it's true! ;) Love him.

FREEDOM

The 4th of July. Independence Day. What a great holiday! A holiday to celebrate our beautiful country and the freedom that it gives us! Not that we need to have an excuse to BBQ, with family and friends, and watch fireworks, but it certainly makes this holiday perfect in every way. Doesn't it? I hope everybody had a great and safe holiday weekend and I hope that we can all remember how blessed we are to live in such an amazing country and also remember those that serve our country so that we can enjoy the freedom that we have!

I just had to share this photo, because I simply love our flag and what it represents..

ECKLAND FAMILY

It's blogging time! Yes, I'm playing "catch-up" here on the blog...and even I know that it's about time! So I'm just going to jump right on in here..

I was so lucky to be able to meet and photograph this cute family right before I left Utah to make the move to New Orleans.  This family is so amazing and loving.  You can sense it in their actions and the way they just simply look at each other.  I loved every minute I had with them.  And plus, this little guy gives some of the best hi-fives! Really!
