I love taking pictures of things after it rains... They are just so beautiful.

Weber State Cheer Team

My brother is a stunter on the cheer squad for Weber State University, he's also on the Utah Jazz cheer squad, no biggie. He's AMAZING!! He taught himself how to tumble when he got into college and this guy is not limber! I had an opportunity to photograph an event for them and go through the process of warming up, psyching up, calming down, and performing. It was really neat to see the process and I've been waiting forever to post the pictures but had to wait till after their nationals competition. They took 3rd!

Wishes

I'm so drawn to this photograph right now. It's actually my desktop on my computer because the green is so soothing to me. I was curious as to why I was so drawn to the greens so I googled it. Green represents tranquility and health. It's believed to relieve stress, help heal, and have a calming effect. Other words used to describe it are harmony, balance, refreshment, rest, restoration, reassurance, equilibrium, peace... Aren't those amazing words?! Balance... When the earth is green, it indicates a presence of water and little danger of famine. Safety. Interesting huh? So I took this photograph and did something a little different with it. Hopefully it's the beginning of a series of quotes on photographs.

Kendra's Family 2015

This little family is so special and amazing. The kids are the cutest little goof balls and just adore each other. They love their mom more than anything and think she is the greatest cook ever. And they like to eat Sweedish Meatballs from Ikea. Kendra is one of the bravest and strongest women I know. She's an incredible artist. She hand crafts and binds books. They are absolutely remarkable and breath taking. You can see her work on Facebook at www.facebook.com/KendrasBookbinding and visit her store at pickleboundbooks.com

Redeeming Hearts Retreat

I spent an incredible weekend with warrior women and it was absolutely AMAZING!!! We grow stronger when we connect and share and allow ourselves to be vulnerable and by doing that, the most valuable friendships of our lives grow.
