Lillian and Andrew Christmas

Wow this was a super fun photo shoot. Lara has so many cute ideas and a couple years ago she did a cute Halloween shoot of her children on her bed in their Halloween PJs reading Halloween books. This shoot is similar– with Christmas clothes, books, presents and lots of Nerds.

Then after the Christmas pictures we went with the cousins to the park and got pictures of all the children playing in the leaves. So Fun. Enjoy.

Lillian is a wonderful model and I love taking pictures of her!

Look how stunning she is in B&W

Now enters Andrew

Off to the park to play in the leaves.

These next few show what a good big sister Lillian is to her brother.

There were many more pictures so if you would like to see more click on this link.

Christensen Family

Look at this cute family! I have known Steve for years. Him and Sheri recently adopted this beautiful girl. Loved this photo shoot.

 

 

My First Art Show in Arizona

This Friday I will be participating in my first Art Show in Arizona. I am very excited.

The theme I choose for this show is my desert plant collection. During this past year I have been working on an ABC book of Desert plants. It is called O is for Old Man of the Andes http://www.blurb.com/books/2691194

The book is now complete and I am going to be showing it, framed pictures, and greeting cards from the Desert plant collection.

If you are in Arizona you are invited to the show. The details are below, along with some pictures from the collection.

SWE Design it event

On November 12th  SWE- ASU (Society of Women Engineers-Arizona State University) hosted Design It! During this event middle school and high school students learned about the engineering design process.

A special thanks to Heritage Academy and Flight 33 for supporting this event, in great numbers.

And it couldn’t have happened without the work, dedication and passion of Ren Ishii.

Ren thought of the idea, developed the curriculum, planned the event and made this outreach event a wonderful reality.

Binch Family

Lara is a great friend and so creative. It is so much fun taking pictures of her and her family. This time the colors were black and greys and they all look so great.

At one point he ran up to his sister and just held on. It was so sweet and she held and protected him like a big sister should. It was very sweet.

Notice how much air she got!

Binch Halloween

My friend Lara dressed her children up as a cowboy and cowgirl for Halloween and we did a photo shoot in a old ghost town. It was great fun.

 

You better watch out little brother…

 

She got him but then he fought back…

Envison Utah- Provo and Orem

Whenever I go back to Utah I always go back to my Alma Mater BYU and wander through campus. It is so beautiful and peaceful.

The new library…ok so it isn’t so new now, but it wasn’t there when I was going to school there.

and I just had to get this staircase

Another beautiful spot in Provo is the LDS temple. Now the grounds are covered with beautiful flowers.

We even saw a bunny on the lawn

I love the light in this picture.

These next three pictures are of Jill’s neighbors home in Orem. Amazing!
