Ida's Maternity

This is my dear friend, Ida. We met while working together at the genetics lab up at the University of Utah. She is an awesome and amazing person. I remember that I used to dress very causally at the lab because there were only lab mice to impress. My hair was always pulled back and I never wore any of my nice clothes for fear of spilling some agent on them. And then there was Ida. She always walked into lab looking very put together. She would wear the cutest and most fabulous shoes and carried the greatest handbags. Her hair was always done. Needless to say, I always felt a bit like a bum standing next to her. So here she is, looking fabulous as ever.

Horwitz-Moon Family

One Week Old

Blue Boar Birthday

This was a really fun group of people. The birthday girl (in the red dress) decided that for her 40th birthday, she wanted to spend it at the Blue Boar Inn. The catch is that everyone lives on the East coast. This whole group of people flew in and spent the weekend at the Inn. My observation was that this group of family and friends is very close knit. They seemed to be having so much fun together and had tons of stories to tell. It was a beautiful evening, everyone was relaxed and having a good time and I enjoyed capturing the moments and the details.

Mike + Graduating Senior

Looking back, I wish I had done a senior portrait session when I was graduating. All I have, as most do, is the Don Blair Yearbook portrait. I think senior sessions are so fun because you get so much more of their personality. This is Mike. He is graduating from Judge Memorial High School this year. He's a great kid and I wish him the best of luck. He's off to Utah State to be an Aggie.

Baby Larson's First Photos

Here are the first photo's of our baby! I know that it's going to drive everyone crazy, but we are NOT going to find out the sex. We believe that there are so few surprises in life and we want the anticipation of this one. I am 10 weeks and the expected due date is December 11th.






On another note. This is something I should have posted about 1 month ago. I had the opportunity to photograph Randy Horiuchi. He needed photos for his Democratic campaign. The photo of him hiding behind the basketball can be seen on many billboards around the city. It was a short and fun shoot and I had a great time meeting the man.

First love, then marriage, then........

You guessed it!


This is test 1 of 3. Chris and I had plans to start actively trying this August, but because I hadn't had a normal cycle in over 1 year, we figured that we might have some trouble and so we stopped preventing. Obviously, we were mistaken about having trouble. We couldn't be happier and even though I feel like the life force is being sucked from my body, I am full of joy and I feel so blessed about the little life growing inside of me.
