Kyle and Bristyl~married~San Diego wedding photographer

Kyle and Bristyl's wedding was absolutely stunning! I had such a great time with them as well as their entire family! The San Diego Temple is having some work done on it right now which was kind of sad, but kind of cool at the same time.










Kyle wrote and sand a song for Bristyl. It was so sweet!









This is Bristyl's cute grandma Frankie. She did all of the AMAZING flowers for the wedding and is the owner of Hartworks Floral in San Diego.

Hometown Values cover shoot~ Utah commercial photographer

My cute friend Lacey modeled for me. Isn't she the cutest pregnant chick ever???
Does the dress she is wearing look familiar? It's the dress I bought in Paris last year! I must say it looks MUCH better on her!
BTW, that darling yellow diaper bag she is holding makes a FABULOUS camera bag!! You can get it at Little Cherry Blossoms!

This is my favorite lens! You can get it at B and H for just $369.95!! I tried the 1.2 L version of this lens which sells for $2000 and I like the 1.8 better!! It is just as fast in my opinion and it its much lighter! This lens in probably on my camera about 75% of the time!

Kyle and Bristyl's bridals are featured today on Utah Bride Blog! Check it out!

....a day early! I am leaving for San Diego today to shoot Kyle and Bristyl's wedding and I'm not sure I will have internet access.
I found this cute little lemonade stand kit at Target and bought one for my daughter and a couple more for summer birthday parties. Each item was only $2!!

Congratulations to my baby boy! Sniff sniff... I LOVE you!

My baby boy!

Dillon graduates from Bonneville High School tomorrow AND he got a 4.0 his last quarter!!!! Dill, I'm so proud of you and I love you so much!

As an artist and a mother I try to be the best I can be, but with owning my own business I have come to realize and accept that I simply cannot do it all! I often wonder what would happen if I put as much time and energy into my family as I do my business. I try so hard to keep some kind of balance, but It can be so overwhelming at times! People ask me all the time, "how do you do it?" My answer is always,"I don't!" I know all you photographers can relate!

So for today's Favorite's Friday I want to share a blog of an amazing woman who does put 100% into her family. She has 8 children from 5 months to 14 yrs. old and she homeschools all of them!!!!! She has a fabulous blog filled with great resources such as recipes, family home evening lessons, craft tutorials and homeschool resources!! She's my idol! Check out her blog Chocolate on my Cranium!
