Today I am thankful for:
- fun times with out-of-town visitors this week
- finally getting all my tax papers in the mail
- sore muscles (yep, getting back at it)

Is winter really over? Not sure I’m ready to give up the slopes.
This winter has been so crazy. It has been so WARM here in Salt Lake City. I know the eastern part of the country has been buried in snow and the Midwest has been frigid (sorry, everyone!). I usually look back on these fall pictures and long for the sunny, warm weather. But now I am kind of longing for winter (did I just say that?!) Anyway….I’m revisiting some fun sessions from this fall. We shared lots of laughs on this particular day.
I had the pleasure of meeting the new puppy, Copper. Let’s just say she has LOTS of energy..jpg)
Why not do a little dancing during the session? It seems to put everyone in a good mood..jpg)

You have to appreciate the sibling love..jpg)

The clouds turned pink right before the sunset. .jpg)
I couldn’t have been happier when, at the end of the session, this cute mom looked at me and said, “that was fun!” Mission accomplished. 🙂
Today I am thankful for:
- my child’s Chinese New Year performance. Elementary kids speaking Chinese is impressive!
- warm weather (although I’m a little concerned about the lack of winter)
- Trader Joe’s frozen meals, for days when I really don’t feel like cooking

I thought I would share some photos from a beautiful, sunny, fall day in Salt Lake City.
The end of the year gets super busy and I pretty much shut down shop by early December to focus on the holidays. When January comes around, I ease my way into the new year (very slowly) and once I feel like sitting in front of my computer again, I go through the archives, try to remember the password for my blog site, and post some photos for you.

This little one is attached to her momma. Don’t even try to reach out to hold her. Oh no. She won’t have it. So, I kept my distance and she was as happy as could be.

Dad had been out of town, and rode his bike over to meet us when he got home. Don’t you love the family “cheek squeeze?” Dad got the little one ready to go home….jpg)
…and mom was jumping for joy. ha ha!

“Thankful Thursdays” are usually days that I highlight three things for which I am thankful, but today I am looking back on the entire year of 2014 and feeling grateful for all the fun we had.
I have shared some of my “one second everyday” videos before. If you have heard me talk about this project, you know how much I love it! Watching this video makes me so happy. We went on some great trips, spent lots of quality time with family, and enjoyed many dance sessions in the kitchen. I see my little nieces growing and changing so much. I see my old dogs hobbling around the house or yard. I hear the songs that were family favorites at the time. I hear my kids’ cute little voices. If you spent time with me last year, you might just make a cameo appearance. 🙂
Let’s be honest. How many of us wish we could document more of our every day lives? I encourage you to take a short video every day, or at least one photo. The One Second Everyday app makes it so easy!

Today I am thankful for:

- holiday mint m&ms (addicting)

We are also thankful for cousins and a bed to jump on.
I’m so glad that more clients decided to head to the mountain for their sessions this year. I’m from the flat lands of the Midwest, so this scenery is so amazing to me. The combination of a beautiful family and beautiful scenery obviously make beautiful photographs!

A little bit of personality is a bonus!.jpg)
I love it when kids do something with their hands or arms (and it’s not prompted by me!). It’s one way to get a glimpse into their little personalities..jpg)

Thanks so much for sharing such lovely pictures and people. Those children are so beautiful and that little Grace Ann must be one “character”. It’s interesting how the youngest one in the family somehow softens the seriousness of the older sibling…not unlike some other families I am blest to be acquainted with. Have a very happy and holy Christmas. I hope to get some cards sent this year.ReplyCancel
