CASSIDY

The moment in between what you once were,

and who you are now becoming,

Is where the dance of life really takes place.

Barbara de Angelis

Cassidy (my youngest child) is a dancer.  This girl lives and breathes in 8 counts!  She has only been dancing for three years, but you would never know it.  When she takes to the stage, I am completely in awe of her.  It has been an exciting journey watching her grow and improve, not only on the dance floor, but in life.  She is at that in between stage where so many doors are open to her.  I know that she will walk through the door that leads her to an amazing future!  Enjoy the journey, Cass!

KODI

True beauty is rare and seldom recognized

by the one who possesses it.

Francine Rivers

Kodi is a natural and such a joy to photograph.  This girl shines when you put her in front of a camera.  What makes her so special, however, is the beauty that can't be seen.  She has the sweetest spirit and always treats others with such great respect and kindness.  She is never boastful or bragging, although with her many talents, she could be.  Keep letting your light shine, Kodi - you're a rare one indeed!

MARY

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get

tired of doing the hard work you already did.

Newt Gingrich

Mary is always on the move.  This girl recently finished a grueling, but successful, year as a member of the Uintah U'ette drill team.  Did she stop there?  No.   She immediately started training for the track team and simultaneously decided to run for a Student Body Officer!  I have such high regard for teens, like Mary, who set high goals and aren't afraid of the hard work it takes to accomplish them.  She is a great example to her peers. Good luck in the election, Mary!!

KC

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

Booker T. Washington

KC is a fighter.  She has her mother's strength and a drive to reach her goals regardless of obstacles that might be in her way.  She is beautiful inside and out and her smile and laugh are contagious.  She is my daughter's best friend and has been a part of our family for many years.  She recently graduated from Paul Mitchell Cosmetology school and is set to begin, what I'm sure will be, a successful future.  

McKENNA

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

Og Mandino

McKenna (my middle child) is a girl that never gives up.  She has had her share of ups and downs, but never makes excuses.  Her experiences have made her into a strong, talented, and determined individual who has a bright future ahead.  She leaves for college this fall.  I don't know what I'll do without her, but I know an amazing life is awaiting her.  

CORRI

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I - I took the one less traveled by.  And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

Corri (my oldest) is fearless.  This girl has too many accomplishments to list at the young age of twenty.  She has set incredibly high goals and standards for herself for years.  She is that person who never followed the crowd, who pushed herself to be the best, and who never settled for mediocre.  She is set to graduate from Colorado Mesa University in a few months and will marry her best friend, Lance, in September.  She deserves all that is good in life.

FRANKIE

Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.  

Mario Andretti

Frankie impresses me.  This girl graduated from high school, went to California to pursue a dream of becoming a model, and has worked hard to make that happen.  Very few girls her age have the motivation and determination to do what she has done.  Frankie recently signed with an up and coming modeling agency and I couldn't be happier for her.   Congratulations, Frankie!!

Welcome to my new blog!

Hi everyone.  Thanks for taking a minute to check out my new photography blog.  I hope to share many fun sessions with you as I go along.  It has been an overwhelming process getting to this point, but I guess one never knows what they're capable of until they push forward.  Well . . . this is me pushing forward!  

I've learned a lot over the past two years and hope to keep learning and growing.  Please check back often to see some of the wonderful people I have been allowed to photograph.
