Juliann+Chad Formals

I love this couple. Juliann is my friend from work and she had the privilege of getting married on the beach.. I didn't take pictures of that, but I was able to get some formals and shots from the open house that they had in Utah. They are so in love and so wonderful!! Chad is a military man based in Orange County, and I think they are so strong making it work! Also. I'm obsessed with her dress. Open house is soon to come... Here's my favorites from the shoot! 

Beautiful Baby

This baby is beautiful. That's about all. 

The Hurst Family

My friend from work needed her family pictures done and I was honored that she asked me to do them! We planned weeks in advance and on the day of the shoot, I woke up to pouring rain... Not good. But We were both determined so although it was cold, the rain calmed down enough for a few pictures of this cute family! 

He posed for me like this.. haha I was just fine with it :) 

Mommy & Daughter

I took some pictures of a friend from work and her adorable little girl for mothers day. We had so much fun! This little girl.. My goodness. I hope I can have one like her someday haha Here's a few pictures from the shoot! 

My Favorite of the whole shoot :) 

There you have it! And there's more shoots to come! 

Aidyn!

This was a great shoot :) One of my awesome friends had me do photos for her 5 month old baby. My husband came as my assistant as well as another photographer friend of mine :) Aidyn was so cute and happy and chunky!! We were all laughing and smiling the whole time because he was so darn cute! Here's some pictures from the shoot!
