Fall

One of my favorite things to do in Utah is go on long drives up the many canyons here. Since it's now my favorite season I thought I need to take my camera with me when I go on my drives. These aren't the greatest pictures but for those of you not in Utah I thought you'd like to see what it looks like right now. It's absolutely breathtaking. To me, there is no better season. I can't get over the colors. All these pictures are taken up Spanish Fork Canyon, American Fork Canyon, Provo Canyon and along the Alpine Loop.

I just had to add this next picture.....my cat decided this was the most comfortable place to sleep. HMMM.

No Life

For the next few weeks I will be glued to the tv. Sad, I know, but I am a dedicated fan of the following shows:

No worries though, I'll still find the time for gym, dinner and answering texts! ;) Other than that, it will have to wait.

Meet Berrie

A few weeks ago I mentioned to my brother Doug that I wanted to get a cat (not thinking that he'd actually agree to getting one) and to my surprise he said YES! We got online and found the most adorable kitten ever! Unfortunately we were not able to get her until the following day so the next day my friend Bri went with me to check her out. The lady she was with had her and a few other kittens in her garage to basically fend for themselves (mommie cat had been killed by a dog) so I was glad to get her out of there. Once I got her home we gave her a much needed bath and some love. It's now been almost 3 weeks since she's been with us and has been so much fun to have around. She still gets a little scared when other people are around, but she's getting better. She loves to cuddle when she's tired and loves to play when she's not. Her name is Berrie partly because her eyes look like blueberry's and partly because my sister has a cat named Hallie....get it....Hallie Berrie. I love her!

10 Reasons why I LOVE my Mom!

1. She is beautiful both inside and out.

2. She is always up for an adventure and is always willing to try new things or travel to new places.

3. She is devoted to her family

4. She loves and values family traditions

5. She is hard working

6. She is wise and always knows what to say at the right moment

7. She can laugh at herself and is always fun to be around

8. She will be an amazing grandmother someday

9. She is the most loving, understanding and patient person I know

10. She has 3 pretty awesome kids. If it wasn't for her (and of course you too dad) we wouldn't be who we are today. And also because she gave me my brother and sister and I love her for that

(haha this was the only picture I could find of the three of us!)

I LOVE you Mom! Happy Mother's Day!

I also wanted to say a few things about my Aunt Jackie who I would also consider my second mother. She has lived next door to my family for almost 20 years now (I think) and I have loved every moment of it. I know I can go to her for support, advice, friendship and love without any feelings of judgement.

Thank you Jackie for everything you've done for me, my family and our extended family. Thank you for all the wonderful memories you've shared with us. We love you and appreciate everything you've done for us!!

Logan & Lisa

My beautiful cousin Lisa is getting married next month and I had the privilege to take her and her fiance's engagement photos. We ended up doing one shoot at The Riverwoods in Provo, but I wasn't happy with the shots we got there so the following weekend we went to downtown Provo where I found a brick wall I love and then up to Aspen Grove at Sundance. We had a lot of fun and I think she ended up with plenty of shots to choose from. Here are a few of my favorites:

Lisa if you ever read this, I'm so happy for you and I know you've found a great guy who will make you happy. I love you!!

Better late than never...

I completely forgot to post the photos I took of my cousins a few months ago, so here ya go! It was my first shoot with all kids and it was definitely a challenge for me. They are great kids and totally photogenic, but kids will be kids and it's hard to keep them focused especially when it's something they don't enjoy. Luckily I had their parents and my mom there to help me. All in all I think I got some great individual shots, but I definitely need more practice shooting kids. It was a good learning experience and a fun adventure for me.
