emerson stone smith

tyler's sister julia had a baby. because they live up in utah we weren't able to be there for the birth, but luckily they came down about 4 weeks later for tanne's wedding so that we could meet him in all his tiny cuteness. and of course we did some newborn photos. people are saying he looks a lot like tyler. it's pretty exciting to think about what our babies will look like. emerson, we love you and we are so happy you're in our family. we are also very happy that you will be here for thanksgiving and christmas!

kimberly & morgan clausen

kimberly is my big sister. she has always led the way and throughout my life i have learned by her example. she is going to be a wonderful mother and morgan will be a wonderful father. 

i cannot wait to meet their daughter. 

the clifford family

this photo session was for a special father's day gift. 

now that these kids are getting older and leaving home they wanted to have up to date photos to leave behind. papa clifford loved it. and the coloring in the chosen outfits and location go perfectly in their living room where the pictures are displayed. 

shira & brekyn marie dickson

shira is one of the most beautiful pregnant women i have ever known. this second time around she opted for an impromptu photo shoot after her baby shower. 

and then she was born. and their threesome turned into four. she is the sweetest baby. no really.
