Sometimes there are some amazing sunsets in Utah, and if you're lucky, you have a camera on hand. If you're not so lucky, you miss out on some beautiful clouds.  My husband and I had the opportunity to hike Rock Canyon and test drive my new 50mm and 105mm lenses. I love them! Happy late birthday to me!

After a week and a half of postponing pictures, we finally managed to catch a break in the storm. It was a great opportunity to work with such a fun group.

I wish the blog would let me put up full sized images! These low resolution pictures don't do them justice. 

It's always a privilege to take pictures for people and it's exciting when I get to take pictures for my friends. I grew up with Heidi, and let me tell you she is an amazing person. I've worked with her through high school and college, and it was a great experience to work with her and do her mission pictures. Fort Worth, Texas! Here she comes!

My sister is GRADUATED!! So proud of my big sister! She is officially graduated with a bachelors degree from Brigham Young University. I hope to follow her example soon. :) She's officially a BYU alumni now. Woot Woot! Rise and shout the cougars are out! 

Some of my favorite things include the Salt Lake temple, spring flowers, sunny days, and photography. This weekend, while up in Salt Lake for a photo shoot, I had a chance to take some gorgeous pictures of the Salt Lake temple surrounded with flowers. One of my favorites, I thought I'd share with you all. I love it! And I've always wanted a picture like it, so it gives me an inordinate amount of pleasure. :) I hope you love it as much as I do!

And of course, as always, if you're interested in a print let me know!

Along with Sister Alderete's mission pictures, I had the opportunity and privilege to do the Alderete's family pictures!

Sunday was such a beautiful day for spring missionary pictures! Bright and sunny, we had perfect light and a great time taking pictures outside the LDS Mount Timpanogos temple. A little less wind would have been appreciated, but we laughed quite a bit as hair flew every which way!

Good friends are hard to come by, but when you do it's totally worth it to keep them. This family is amazing! I love them. All I have to say is thanks for the opportunity and have a great summer! :)
