2011 has been wonderful! May we all have a safe and happy 2012, and remember what Anne Frank said: 

 "How wonderful it is that we need not wait a single moment before starting to improve the world."

{this is my beautiful sister, who reminds me daily to smile and appreciate the world around me.}

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! My husband and I were able to spend time with family and enjoyed giving gifts, eating delicious food, and playing lots of games! Here are a few photos of our Christmas morning in Virginia. I absolutely love the nativity. It was hand-carved in Bethlehem from olive wood!

Victoria + Keith: Utah Bridal Photographer

Today I will be documenting this couple's wedding. They are such wonderful people, I can't wait to spend their special day with them!

Today is also my last wedding of 2011. It's been an amazing year! I am so thankful to all of my couples for allowing me the honor of photographing your weddings. And I have a feeling that 2012 is going to be just as spectacular! 

  

Victoria + Keith: Utah Engagement Photographer

When I say I love this couple, I'm a little biased. Victoria and her sisters were like a second-family to me in high school. We played volleyball together, had numerous sleepovers and adventures, and followed each other to college! It gets even better...Victoria was a bridesmaid in my wedding! She is one of the sweetest, most genuine people I have ever met. I knew that whoever she decided to marry would be a keeper for sure. And I was right...Keith is so wonderful and sweet! I am so happy they found each other.

  

Kenzie + Cam: Utah Wedding Photographer

 {Get ready for the world's most epic wedding post.}

Cam & Kenzie were married in the Salt Lake City LDS temple in late August on the most beautiful, sunny day. They are both so upbeat and vivacious...I felt honored to be their photographer. Don't you just love Kenzie's dress? And Cam looks pretty darn handsome in his gray suit. They are a perfect match. 

Kenzie and Cam had a darling backyard reception filled with bright flowers, yummy food, bottled sodas (which, let's face it...are way cooler than canned sodas.), and great music. The dancing pictures at the end of the post serve as a testament to how fun-loving this couple really is. I just loved working with them!
