Check out my adorable nephew Ryder’s baptism photos! Ryder recently turned 8 and was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His mom really wanted photos to display at his baptism and didn’t think I’d have time so figured it just wouldn’t happen. Well, I’m all about pictures and so my mom, Ryder and I decided to surprise his mom and take his photos at the Calgary LDS Temple while she was at work. Grandma had him looking super sharp in his blazer, and he rocked his photos. Ryder is such a little stud and did awesome despite the bitter cold. The best part was later in the day my sister called me in tears (happy tears) when she saw the gallery. I love when surprises make people happy like that!! And I love being able to document important memories for my family and for others.
PIEPGRASS
I love the Piepgrass family. I met them when their oldest was about 7!! And now she’s in college and the 2nd is off to Mexico to do service! I love that they chose to have the Calgary Temple in their photos. It is such a beautiful place! We watched as the skies turned black and rushed to get photos done before the big, fat, heavy rain came. Thankfully we made it – barely.
Good luck on all your adventures, Piepgrass family! Love ya
Ethan and Janie got Hitched!
Well, you’ve seen their proposal and their engagement pictures so let’s just keep going… It was a cold and wet day when these two love birds got married in the Calgary Temple, but it couldn’t have been a more wonderful day. I’m so happy for my baby brother and his beautiful new bride. They make such a cute couple. It was such an honor for me to be able to photograph their wedding. Love you guys!!
This was adorable!! All the siblings, nieces and nephews and cousins sang a song Janie’s aunt had written lyrics to You Are My Sunshine. It was so cute! Then Janie’s aunts, uncles, bridesmaids and brother and sister sang songs that was sort of a timeline of their dating experience. Then my favorite part (and probably most embarrassing moment but totally worth it in the end) was when Ethan and Janie got up to say thank you to everyone for coming and all their support and at the end Ethan surprised Janie by busting out in song! Then slowly the whole family on both sides joined in with singing and dancing. There’s a small preview on my instagram feed if you’re interested in seeing it… We finished the night off with a dance and my kids didn’t want to leave they were having so much fun!
