Photo's for Vivian

These photos were taken over a one month time frame. While her husband was in Iraq, she wanted to do something special to surpise him when he returned home. Some were also taken to give to her family.

Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,

and finds in your presence that life is worth while.

So when you are lonely,

remember it's true

Somebody somewhere is thinking of you.

Mackenzie Rose

Mackenzie is getting ready for her State Sweet Pea Pageant. These are some new pictures for her to enter into the photogenic contest.

Shannon's Anniversary Photo Shoot

Shannon had these photo's done for her wedding anniversary. She had seen the photo's taken of Tiffany M. and really liked them and thought it would be the perfect gift for her husband on their anniversary.

Tiffany M. Self Esteam Shoot

After some unfortunate events her life the last few week, Tiffany was feeling really down. She was over at my house on day discussing her problems, when I came up with the idea of getting some new pictures of her. After going through all the photo's we took she felt so much better about herself and the last few weeks. I had thought about how if in my past my photos turned out great I felt better about myself. Though it is a little vain it lets you see yourself in a different light. Sometimes it can make the bad things in life seem a little further away.

Do it trembling if you must, but do it !

My Grandmother

I only took a few photo's at my grandmother's funeral. Maurine Draper died from several complications. Spot's in her intestines were dieing. After two surgery's to try and repair the trouble spots she went into a medical coma brought on by the doctors to spare her the pain. A decision was made to take her off of life support the following day by her four children. Before they could get there she had refused dialysis and the doctor's informed them of her wishes. After only about fifteen minutes off the support she peaceful passed.

Utah Sweet Pea Pagent

My niece Mackenzie competed in her very first pageant this weekend. She is only three years old and this is the Sweet Pea Salute the Troops Pageant.

Our little Mackenzie took home the people choice award, which in no uncertain terms is a bought title. Who ever has the most money votes wins.

And then much to our whole families amazement she took the top title as the Grand Supreme Sweet Pea. A title usually reserved for the older girls because they are able to compete in all the categories. She went on to compete at state and did not place there due to and attitude issue. He dad has just be sent to Iraq and she has had some trouble adjusting.
