JoHanna & Brandon

Well, my first wedding is done! The lighting was really challenging, but it was a great learning experience. Thank you, JoHanna & Brandon for letting me be a small part of your day!

For Shar...

I wanted you to see these few shots. I didn't put them on my June blog, but wanted to share them with you. I loved the ones with you & your sisters, and the one of Grandpa.

Sleepy girl

So, I don't have any pictures to go along with this, but I had to share this story. So, Sam brought Hollie to me in the middle of the night so I could nurse her. Well, he woke up an hour later & Hollie wasn't on the bed. Thinking I had taken her back to her crib, he went to check on her. She wasn't there either, though. So, he came back in our room and there she was, sound asleep on the floor by our bed. Apparently, we had both fallen asleep and Hollie had rolled off the bed. It didn't even wake her up, though! It was so funny!

Temple

Sam & I took Hollie to the Jordan River Temple Tuesday night so that I could practice there before the wedding with my new flash. I loved walking around the beautiful temple grounds with my wonderful little family. After Sam & I went out to dinner, we weren't ready for our night to end. So, we went to a 10:00 movie. We haven't done that forever! Amazingly enough, Hollie did pretty good. She slept through 3/4 of it. I'm just so grateful for my family & can't imagine life without them!

Funny girl!

We use Hollie's Pack & Play as a place to dump all the clean clothes that I don't feel like folding. Well, Sam was going to get Hollie to bed, so I stood her there for a minute while he finished on the computer. Apparently, she got tired, layed down, and fell fast asleep. It was so funny! She's definitely like me - she can sleep ANYWHERE!

My little helper...

The new desk that Sam & I got has a little ledge underneath the keyboard tray. Hollie thinks it's the coolest thing ever! She uses it like her own little desk. Mean Mommie won't let her play under there, though. Too many cords to pull on!! Look at that mischievous grin! She knows she's doing something naughty!

Hey there!

I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd give you guys an update. Thursday was a busy day. Hollie went to Jer & Erin's to play with her cousins so that Sam & I could go to Lagoon. It was so much fun to get away for a bit with just the hubby! I was in desperate need for a good thrill ride! :o)

Then, last night I shot my first wedding reception & loved every minute of it! Dan & Julia are the most darling couple and I, of course, adore their family. I just love challenging myself, growing, and learning as much as I can.
