COMING SOON... to a Christmas Card near you!

Thanks Mom for you help with these!

You'll have to wait for the card to see more. :)

Finally a post!

I have the smartest, most adorable two year old daughter ever. She is also extremely mischievous...

For example, several months ago she began to develop a serious interest in my computer. She wanted to sit on my lap and play with the mouse and push all kinds of buttons. She wanted to look for letters to type in on the keyboard, see what the buttons did on the tower, and put disks in the drive and take them out for me. I thought it was pretty impressive that, at not yet two, she was so techno savvy.

Then a couple of months ago she started coming in and pushing the power button while I was working. Annoying, but again - she is pretty smart. She knew exactly what that button would do, and she would make sure that I was fully engrossed in what I was doing before pulling her little stunt. After a few time outs for this behavior, she stopped doing it (for the most part).

Then a few weeks ago, she found her golden opportunity. I wasn't home, and the individual who was watching her (who will go unnamed) thought she was still down for a nap. Apparently the computer had been left on and was unlocked. She managed to change my security settings, open TONS of applications, and shove several items into my disk drive. Her crime-spree went unbeknownst to anyone until I sat down to work at the computer later that evening... and found the disk drive jutting out, unable to close. Needless to say she broke the drive and caused a whole list of problems with my computer. I didn't realize she'd messed with the security settings for awhile and ended up getting viruses on my computer, to boot.

So now I don't think it's so cute that she wants to be a techno-savvy two year old. I'm thinking she's going to have to wait until at least age 3 before becoming a programming prodigy.

Anyway, we got all of the random items out of the computer, and I'm pretty sure everything is finally fixed. Now that everything is (hopefully) sorted out, I will seriously try to post sneak peeks for all of my sessions from here on out! :)

Loved being a part of this wedding. Julie, you are beautiful! Congratulations!

the Mattson Family

Desi is an old friend, and it was so fun to spend some time with her and her adorable family. I just love her boys, they are HILARIOUS!!! Thanks for letting me hang out with you guys!

Taylor

OMG, is this girl not GORGEOUS??? I was seriously doing the happy dance when I saw her - so happy I got to photograph her! She's one of those girls I guarantee all of the other girls WISH they could hate because she's so PERFECT, but she's also so incredibly sweet that you can't help but love her. I am only about halfway done with her photos, but there are SO MANY that I love! I just had to share a few. With all the locations and the fabulous clothes Taylor brought, plus my super chatty mood, this turned into quite the marathon session - thanks for sticking it out Taylor, you did awesome!

Julie & Trevor

These guys were so cute and so clearly in love. Can't wait to shoot their wedding next weekend! Congratulations Julie & Trevor!
