More from Easter

Here are a couple more from the shoot with the girls in their dresses!

Easter Dresses

I finally got my girls in their Easter dresses to take some pics! They were not wanting to cooperate for awhile, but they looked so beautiful I had to get something! I can't believe how grown up they are starting to look....it's so sad to me! I can't put into words what these two special girls have done for me and what joy they have brought to my life!

Grandparents

There are lots of emotions that go with the word "Grandparent" for me. First are my own grandparents. I have been very blessed to have memories of not only my passed on grandma (Anderson) and Papa (Green), but also of my Great-Grandparents. I truly, truly miss them and have been so blessed to have them all in my life. My "Grammy" lives back in Vegas and is so talented and I wish I was closer to see her more often. Also, my girls are very blessed to have three awesome grandparents in their life. Their Grandma Hutchings (who lives in Utah), we don't get to see often enough anymore, but they love her to pieces! The girls have spent LOTS and LOTS of time with my parents and have a very deep and strong relationship with them. Although we are not a block away anymore, they still see them as often as they can! Grammy and Papa came to stay with us for the Easter weekend and the girls had an absolute blast! I tried to get some shots of them and our impromptu session was after three hours of church and a morning of easter egg hunting, so they were not cooperative for very long. Just wanted to share with you what I got.......(we even managed to get in a cute family pic).......these two little girls are VERY spoiled with LOVE!

Emotions, huh?

Well, these are the two causes of the greatest emotions I have ever had, good and bad! Love beyond measure! Fear. Hope. Worry. Stress. Happiness beyond my imagination! Laughter. Tears. Nervousness. Anxiety. Inadequacy. Joy. Pain. Contentment. Compassion. Anguish. Empathy. Sorrow. Security. Gratitude. LIFE. Miracles! And many, MANY more........

My very first canvas!!!!!!

I just ordered my first canvas of the girls. My husband is madly in love with this picture and wanted it really big, so I thought I'd try out White House's new gallery wrap canvas. It is 20x24 and the image is wrapped around the edges so that you don't need a frame. It is absolutely PERFECT!!! It is in the entryway to my family room and I can't stop staring at it! Now, if I can only get that ONE family picture...............hmmmm.

Gone Fishin'!

Ok, it's been forever since I've actually posted, but I LOVED this picture of my husband and two girls and just had to share. Daddy bought fishing poles for my youngest's birthday and we all went down to the lake by our house. There are very small and very few fish, so no catches yet, but I'm sure we will soon, and I had BETTER be there to catch it on camera! These are the moments that make it ALL worth it!

Sedona, AZ

For my birthday last week, we took a weekend trip to Sedona, Arizona. What an amazingly beautiful place! Here are a few of my faves! I took a lot at this little place called Tlequepaque, it's a Mexican Village with shops and cafes that is absolutely gorgeous! I have been wanting pics like these for my walls in my house. I am definitely going back for a day trip of shooting!

Things that make my life easier....

Well, this is definitely something I use EVERY day and it has made my life way easier... at least when it's working the way I want it too ;)! These pictures are terrible, but I'm getting my new lens sometime tomorrow, so I will take before and afters for a comparison. Hopefully it will be night and day!
