The "Gard" Dogs

I had the chance to take some pictures with my little sister Madison Gardner and her puppy... Gromit... or Scooter.. whichever you prefer. It was fun going to my parents' house and helping her pick out some cute clothes and help her do her hair and make-up, even though that's not her type of thing. I have always thought of Maddie as my little sister, but after our photo shoot I realized that she isn't much of a little girl any more. (Oh goodness, I'm sounding like an old person now) She is becoming such a beautiful young lady! So boys... keep your paws off her, she can't even date for three more years. Thanks Maddie for spending some time with your old married, boring sister! I love you!

Finally I was able to get a smile out of her... I guess I need to update my jokes.

Thanks for checking it out!

The Lovells

I was excited to get the chance to take family pictures for... well... my family! Liz and Scott are my aunt and uncle- which makes the children surrounding them my cousins. Can I just say one thing. They are an awesome family! Very strong and loving.

Liz and Scott are so cute together, they act like they are newly weds even after being married 18+ years.

Thanks for the fun, smiles and jokes!

Mason

I know that I always post pictures of my nephew... but I just can't help it. He is just way too cute, plus I keep finding fun pictures of him.

Date Night

Sometimes Jon and I will go on a fun date... On this particular day we decided to hike the Dixie rock and take some pictures.

I love the view of them temple from the top of the mountain.

I don't know why, but I love our feet. They are just so cute together.

Yes I know. . He is handsome even when he is giving me that look... "Don't take my picture". But I couldn't resist.

Temple Day

In my parents ward, (the one I grew up in) the laurels have a tradition where they dress up in a wedding dress and get there pictures taken at the temple. Yes at first it seems a little odd... but I looked forward to it when I was in young womens. It was a way to remind us of where we want to be. I am so thankful for amazing parents and young women leaders that helped me become what I am. Back to the point. My mother is now the young womens pres. and she had to find a photographer for the photoshoot.. TADA. Here I am. I had so much fun with these two girls. They are so kind and loving. I hope you enjoy the pictures. They are beautiful girls.. and boys... they are not ready to get married.. (too young and you aren't good enough either)... so back off!
