WORCS MX Race - Mesquite NV

I had lots of pround mommy moments this last weekend while my son Carson competed in the final WORCS (Western Off-road Championship Series - MX)  race of the season. 

No one understands the training involved to win... riding every day until they are exhausted, racing through the desert like a wildman with a death wish, lifting weights, riding bicycles up and down hills to build endurance, tweaking and fine tuning the settings on your bike so it reacts consistantly with every move your body makes.  This sport is definitely not for the weak or unmotivated.

As a parent of a desert racer, I can honestly say that watching a race brings out every single emotion a person could ever feel...  

Anxiety...that his bike will perform and withstand the brutal beating it will undergo
Fear...that my son could possibly die or become seriously hurt
Agrivation...that other riders are careless or not well trained
Worry...that his last broken bones are healed enough to hold up
Anger...that sometimes the most deserving person doesn't always win
Sadness...to see your son get a bad start at the gate and be trapped in the middle of the pack
Anticipation...waiting for your child to appear after his first 10 mile loop through the harsh desert
Excitement... to see that your son has passed half the field while in the desert to appear in first place
Embarassment...to see other spectators watching you do the fist pump happy dance
Trepidation...waiting for the next few laps to see if he appears from the desert in one piece.
Happiness...that he is still in the lead
Frustration...that your son is in the lead and is showing off doing whips over the big jumps
Pure Joy...watching your son do better than he has ever done in his life
Satisfaction...knowing all your harping, nagging, and coaching has finally paid off
Pride...seeing the elation on your son's face as he is presented with a trophy which he has worked so
 hard to earn

Yep, it was an emotional day. But, one of the happiest of my life. Congratulations Carson...I'm so proud of you.

Michael & Jacqueline | Utah Wedding Photographer

I love it when a bride calls me and wants something "different". 
I LIVE for different!
I also love it when the bride is gorgeous and brings along her very handsome groom.  Can you see where this is going...yep...awesome bridal  images!
Thanks so much Michael and Jacqueline for giving me the chance to play and for being brave enough to let me try anything I wanted.  You guys were amazing and I could tell by the way you looked into each others eyes and couldn't stop smiling that you are indeed meant for each other. 
Congratulations and may happiness follow you forever!

Beautiful Hailee | High School Senior Photographer

Meet beautiful Hailee.  What a treat it was to be able to photograph this gorgeous girl.  I loved both her serious looks and her infectious smile.  She has MODEL written all over that pouty face!  LOL

I've been "horsing" around! | Utah Commercial Photographer

Yep, I've been horsing around. 

Meet Hollywood, the perfect, gorgeous equine specimen to model the new mane and tail accessories from SugaRein.  He was so patient and so appreciative of the carrots and apples we brought to woo him.  It brought back so many memories of when I used to hang out with my best friend Tonka, a beautiful buckskin Appaloosa.  Dang I miss those days.

The newest rage in bling for horses comes from SugaRein.  Mane and tail extensions in an array of vibrant irridescent colors.  Each piece is hand woven and clips in easily for repeated use.  What horse wouldn't want to outshine the competition by looking all "blinged" out with these gorgeous embellishments. 
Feel free to check out their website to see for yourself all the gorgeous colors available.


Colin & Brenna

Colin has just been called to the California Sacramento Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  He will spend the next two years of his life serving the wonderful people there and teaching them the gospel.  Boy are they in for a treat as he is a fine young man and such a wonderful representative for the Church. 
Colin's big brother is also serving in the New York Bronx Mission and by the time Colin returns home these brothers will have spent four years apart.  What a great reunion that will be when they finally get to see each other again.
Their little sister Brenna got to tag along on Colin's photo shoot and was so stinkin' cute. I got some awesome images of her and just had to show them off as well.
What a darling family with the biggest hearts and uncompromised dedication to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
 I'm very honored to know them.
