Logan always sticks out his tongue when he is performing a task.




Family Tree

My parents have picture ornaments of some family members who have passed away. Some are really old photos, some more recent. Here are a few.


Here she is! Gosh I love my peanut!

I took the photos in the hospital and I designed the announcement.

Logan Graduated Preschool!



 This last picture was taken with my phone. I brought my camera but forgot my SD card.

Baby Girl

You may have noticed that I have changed my blog background once again. Amelia Rose Bright will be arriving on June 24th in the morning at Arrowhead Hospital in Glendale, Arizona. This will be my last pregnancy.

I have taken up crocheting to curb my anxiety. I hope to post some pictures of that soon. I have made many newborn hats and cocoons and even a layette blanket.

I recently did wedding photos for a young woman in Mesa and the reception in St. David. I am still editing them.

The preschool photos were crazy busy but profitable. I have been able to invest in a backdrop stand, large muslin backdrop, a strobe light kit and a Fong diffuser. I find it humorous that my husband spends more time online researching photography equipment than I do.

Other than homework I have scheduled for the next couple weeks to finish documenting production for Annie at the Valley Youth Theater. Then I have a softball team, Family, Newborn, Maternity and Beauty shots scheduled.

I am passing all of my online photography classes, so that is good news. I am currently taking Digital Image Illustration. The class will end one week before I deliver.

Sadie made it into the gifted program at her school scoring high in every category. Logan has pre-school graduation today. Clara is silly as ever. Curtis just had an amazing review at his CPA firm. I still have not gained any weight with this pregnancy.

My OB has been medically retired but the girl that is replacing him in his practice is good.

Because there are so many women in my ward having babies this season, I am conspiring to do an Anne Geddes style shoot with all of them. I am still in the planning phase of this.

Happy Dance

Lincoln Learning Center pre-school, sibling and family photos are a go for next week. The coordinator has asked for an additional 100+ order forms! Everything is moving along nicely for this event. I still need to design and print up a gift certificate for a free photo session for the art auction on the 2nd night.

School is back in session and I am taking the Photojournalism class again accompanied by Elementary Algebra. My ideas for the final for my Photojournalism class so far are to document a youth theater from auditions to opening night, or document a radio DJ behind the microphone and in public.

I just entered my 3rd trimester and all is well. We are having a girl and will name her Amelia Rose.

My son starts occupational therapy for his autism this week. My oldest daughter was accepted into the gifted program at her school.

All in all, things are looking good. I pray they will continue in this upward direction.

Taking the good with the bad.

So, I have been very sick this week, and so has my family. For some reason many people are getting sick and it is lingering. Due to this illness I have fallen behind in my school work, so I had to withdraw from my class and re-start it next session.

Good news time! I will be doing pre-school photos at Lincoln Learning Center and I have a wedding scheduled for May.
