On dec 19th, Whitney and Devin where married in San Diego…

(there is something so fresh about witnessing the couple step out for the first time as husband and wife…he is so happy…I love it!)

(i am loving her hot pink heels!)
they were joined with family and friends who traveled to support and spend the day with them…


and they married in one of the most beautiful structures I have ever seen…

whitney is a stunning bride…

all her beautiful details…

GORGEOUS BRIDE!

her groom was not too shabby himself (he totally favors Matt Damon in this image)…(I love the J Crew feel of his tie…very nicely done whitney!)

I love how they regarded eachother during our short time together at the Temple. They kept complimenting each other, laughing, kissing, and you could feel both peace and excitement in their union. They were such troopers despite the freezing cold wet soggy grass (whitney braved most of it barefoot) and chilly air…
I love how he would take her arm, or hold her dress for her…the regard for her is to evident…as it is for him from her…what a blessing to share the moments just after their wedding with them…

beautiful…


I love this one of both of them..

best wishes you two…thank you so much for asking me to be part of your wedding day…enjoy your honeymoon and reception up North!

we woke this morning and took a trip to the donut shop with Daddy. The girls enjoyed sprinkle donuts and Ella tried out the chocolate bar…(a big hit)…I watched on and laughed when Ava suggested I get a salad (she knows I do not like donuts). Jason relished in a new tradition in a breakfast treat with his girls at the local Sunny Donut. He is home today to play with his little ladies while I am off shortly to a wedding in San Diego. After retuning home, Jason and the girls gathered up diapers, wipes, extra clothes, and sweatshirts and were about to be out the door to go visit Grandma (they love it when I have a photo session…so much fun with Daddy when I am away)…
I received 3 big hugs and about 100 kisses (1 from ella and 1 from ava and 98 from Mia)…and then my sweet Ella said…
”Mommy, I am gonna say a prayer for you…”
I kneeled down next to her and she started her sweet prayer as she always does…part of it here…
“please bless Momma that she will do good photography (“to-ca-fro-key”) today..and drive safe…and bless her to do beautiful pictures”

Now…with that blessing upon my head from such angelic little lips..how could my day go wrong!
I am so proud of my thoughtful little lady (and all my little ladies!) and for her trust in prayer…(makes me feel like I have at least done one thing right)!
Hope everyone has a beautiful day…

today I am completely satisfied staying in my sweats, watching polar express with the girls, and eating See’s candies for lunch…

we all just got over the flu, and life is about to warp to super super lightning fast speed…I’ve have 2 weddings that I am finishing up before the official photography hiatus begins, christmas parties to host, gifts to wrap, a house to clean, 3 little girls to love and care for, and loads of other random things to do…
and it is official…the dog ate our christmas card this year…
in the middle of it all, I just am not pulling it off…all is well though, I will save some postage, paper, and cash and end up “purdying” up my walls with the pictures instead…I do love checking my mailbox for all the beautiful ones that have come our way though…

I just am so thankful today for 3 healthy little girls, and for all the times I feel like I am going crazy, overwhelmed, and burned out! They make my life so full and I know that each day with them makes me a better person…there are few things you can truly say do that!

Hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful day! The raining is singing it’s song outside today and we are happy to be cozy inside just enjoying being together…
