What a fun surprise to hear from this cute gal that I haven't seen in very likely over 15 years. I am fairly certain that the last time I saw Jessica, she was a young teenager. And before that, I was her babysitter. ;-) Crazy to see her grown up into this BREATHTAKINGLY beautiful woman, happily married and mama to one of THE cutest little guys.






Originally, we had planned on taking cute Jessica and her family up Little Cottonwood Canyon to catch the fall colors. However, after looking out the window at the beautiful grounds at my office (at the mouth of Little Cottonwood), I proposed to Jessica that we do there shoot right there. The grounds at Ivy Institute, Inc. are BREATHTAKING. I feel almost as if I work in HEAVEN (for more reasons than just the landscape.....but it truly is BEAUTIFUL there). And fortunately, we were able to do this shoot TWO DAYS before it snowed and took most of the leaves with it. Happy day! This little guy had a rough minute for a little while...but was happy as ever after we let him run around a bit, paid the chickens a visit and played in the leaves. :-)





Until the Durham fam is able to review all of the images from their shoot and choose the 10 pictures that they would like for me to edit, I thought it would be fun to choose a few of MY faves to edit and post as a little sneak peek for them. LOVE how these turned out with the GORGEOUS fall colors!!







So fun to reconnect with Jessica after so many years and meet her sweet little fam. What a fun shoot we had, playing the leaves and enjoying this beautiful autumn day. Many thanks to the Durham family for giving me the opportunity to take your family portraits this year. I hope that you are as pleased we these proofs as I am. I will have a proofing CD ready for you within the week.
