Daddy, 

You will always be my hero and I will always be your little girl. Happy Father's Day to the most selfless, fun, caring, loving, nice, funny and best dad I know! Thank you so much for everything that you have ever done for me. I appreciate you more than you will ever know! I only wish that there was a way to repay you for all that you have done and all that you have given me throughout my life. I look up to you in so many ways dad! You are the best example of everything a father should be. I can only hope that I grow up to be just as loving, caring and FUN as you are! I am who I am because of you dad! I don't know what I would do or where I would be without you! Just thinking about the amount of love I have for you makes me want to cry. Thanks for being the greatest father any girl could ask for! I'm proud to call you my dad! Hope you have the best day ever . . . I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Pictures for your Portfolio

 I told Brody that if he wasn't so dang cute, then people wouldn't ask to take pictures of him . . haha (guess that's what I get for having an EXTREMELY good looking husband)

Sorry Brody!

Anyways.. 

Brody and I had the amazing opportunity to help model for both Chloe Epperson Photography and Valentina Photography last weekend. 

and boy was it FUN!!!

(well..for me at least)

(just kidding, Brody enjoyed it too)

I thought it would be fun to share a little about my experience working with them and let you see the beautiful moments that were captured thanks to these AMAZING and TALENTED photographers. 

We first got to work with the adorable Chloe Epperson to help introduce her new "lifestyle" shoot. Her photography is INCREDIBLE (and that's a huge understatement). This was also by far one of the funnest shoots we have ever done! Chloe was able to capture our real and raw love for each other by letting us be ourselves and interact as if the camera wasn't right in front of our faces. These lifestyle shoots are a great way for couples and families to capture and share the moments that really define their relationship. 

This particular lifestyle shoot took place in the kitchen where Brody and I baked and ATE cookies, cupcakes and other delicious goodies. 

Find out more about her and her photography at www.chloeeppersonphotography.com   

I thought he was going in for a kiss… 

then this happened ...

As soon as we finished this casual and fun lifestyle shoot ... we rushed up to Salt Lake City, changed into some fancy clothes and got ready to shoot a romantic engagement session!

Valentina Riches contacted us in hopes of building her profile and taking some photos to share on her Facebook page - "Valentina Photography" 

This engagement session was also a real treat for us. I mean, how often do couples get to re-live their engagement session?? We were lucky to work with Valentina and experience her attention to detail and passion for photography. Valentina always had new poses up her sleeve and was great at picking out new locations (despite how busy it was that day). 

This particular session was shot at the Capitol Building in Salt Lake City. Here's just a few of the pictures that she took:

GO COUGS..

Some people call us twins, and some call us sisters, but my mom is hands down my BEST FRIEND. I know everyone says it… but I can honestly say that I don't know what I would ever do without her. I am who I am because of my mom. Even though I don’t live at home anymore, I love that we still talk on the phone at least once a day. I know she will always be there for me and I hope she knows that I will always be here for her. She is the most selfless, loving, fun, supportive, beautiful, smart, and talented human I know. Who else can work multiple jobs, raise 5 kids, serve in the primary, own her own dance studio, be a wife, ETC??? My mom is the definition of super woman!

Happy Birthday Mommy!! I LOVE YOU!
