My cousin Holly informed me that she and her husband Tyler haven't had any professional pictures done since they were married! I just had to change that! I gave them my little valentines delight discount and we headed to Salt Lake for a family photo shoot! Such a cute little family, and the cutest little girls ever!! Thanks holly, i had so much fun. Let's do this again next year :)

Sometimes ring around the rosie is all it takes to get some smiles!

tickles work too!

so so SO cute!!

so much to do

Do you think i can get it all done today??

to the twins

Happy Birthday!

Just a few of my favorite pictures i've taken of my favorite little siblings.
Growing up with two older brothers was a blast. I love being the little sister, but i never knew how much i would love being an older sister! I can still remember the night they were born...
My mom wanted it to be a surprise so i didn't know if i was going to have a baby sister. I prepared myself for it being two boys. But when my mom announced they were a boy and girl, i was jumping up and down screaming "I HAVE A SISTER". My aunt Lisa gave me a pin that said I'm a big sister! I loved that pin, and i still have it! These two we're the cutest little twins you could ever imagine, and i loved them so much!
Even when they drew all over my white cabinet with markers!
Amy and Austin make my life so entertaining. I am greatful for them participating in singing loud in the car, and dancing for the people next to us at stoplights. :)
Austy bear makes me laugh harder than anyone, and i don't know what i would do without his HUGE hugs! You are my best bud, and i love you lots!!
Amy is like my best friend. We are so close, and we have so much fun together. I am so greatful to have a little sister! You are such an amazing little dancer, and you are gorgeous!
Love you babes!!
Hope you two have the best birthday ever!!

we like to move it move it!

Reason number 712 why i love my friends.

We go 80s dancing and dance until we can't dance anymore!

court & trist bonked their heads. ouchhhh


love you girls!

trista

I decided that i am going to take some portraits of my best friends. And i thought we should try some fashion photoshoots! I started off with Trista, and seriously.... she is a natural model. She knew exactly what to do, was "smiling with her eyes" {as they say to do on america's next top model} it was perfect. We found some awesome spots, and it was just such a fun shoot. Trist you are gorgeous, come model for me anytime ok?? And thanks for being such a good sport. I can't thank you enough! xoxo

my favorite!!

stunning

I love the lighting on this one!
