Larsen Family...

Why oh why is there always so much to do. Cut me a small break, I moved, I'm trying to make some friends, I'm trying to start a business (again), and still trying to be a mom..trying being the operative word.
Well, the list goes on and I've managed to successfully do about 3 of those things. HAHA. I won't tell you which ones..however let's just say that this beautiful little family is one of my new good friends. (see one off the list)
Isn't she adorable. I mean the whole family is...but I'm pretty sure I could fit most of them in my pocket. I always feel really blessed that I some how luck out to find amazing friends.
And did I mention that her second daughter is great friends with my Ella? Convenient no?
I promise, (mostly) that there is so many more to come..but I'm trying not to put up anyones Christmas card pictures BEFORE Christmas. That would be a bummer.
Plus, I will have to take a picture of the AMAZING frames that we ordered when they get here.
So Happy Thanksgiving, and let's cross our finger that I get my blogging act together.

Portland Christmas/Holiday Special

At the request of local families, here is a similiar deal for you! Ho-Ho-Ho

Taylor...{Utah Senior Photographer}

Man, I love me some good bone structure and a hilarious sense of humor. Taylor is a keeper girls..snag him while the snagging is good.
Here are some of my very favorites...and really he just did what I said, which is an even BETTER trait in a man!) ha. right husband?


um, my husband does not think that last comment was ONE bit funny.



but I stand by it.











I couldn't decide between the vertical or horizontal..but I do love a good sign.

Sonja and Patrick...

So, sadly I am posting pictures from back BEFORE Christmas. I really should just wait until next year at this point, but seeing as I'm in Portland now and it still feels like winter, what the heck!
I will tell you that this was possibly the coldest day I've EVER spent second shooting with my buddy Julie (um, if you haven't seen her work click and love her now).
I am really going to miss her and hanging out..(um. ps Julie you still owe me chips and queso from Chilies..just saying)
Anywho..seriously the most IN LOVE couple I've ever witnessed. It's so great to see the longing gazes, and constant touching..ah, young love.
How can you not just LOVE taking pictures at weddings?
Here are my favorite 5.
If you haven't had the chance to walk around Salt Lake Temple square during Christmas, the nativity scenes are hands down my favorite things...even cooler than the lights.



I seriously, seriously love everything about this picture
