The one who started it all


This girl has been my friend for over 10 years. When my girls were born I wanted to get an SLR but didn't know what kind to get. This sweet friend had a nice one so I bought one just like it. A Nikon d70. Since then we helped each other with every detail from lenses, to props, to websites.
I love this girl like a sister and jumped at the chance to photograph her extended family. Her brother had recently returned from a 2 year mission for the LDS church, and everyone was together for the holidays.
What a fun time at an awesome Orange grove this time....can you tell I love groves? I wish I had an apple orchard to shoot at next.....
I couldn't have done this with out you friend!



She also took my amazing family pics....her site is www.yourphotosbyme.blogspot.com


















Exciting Changes


Recently I had a new logo made by Jennifer Allison Designs. I love it and can't wait to have it on my new website....http://www.jennjohnston.com/

A Mother's Love

A few days ago I met with a sweet extended family. I love extended families. This family was gathered together for the Holidays and it was wonderful to watch their family dynamic. Here is a quick look into this session.


Here is a cute moment...don't you love the grandma giving her grandaughter a hug?



A Mother with her beautiful daughters. There is a special bond between Mother and Daughter.


Lastly this beautiful mom is the one who contacted my to photograph this session. I just love this image of her with her only daughter....

Merry Christmas..and a Happy New Year

What a great year it has been. Personally full of ups and downs, (Birthing some big babies, adjusting to 4 kids and trying to be patient) and profressionally full of excitment and promise. Things are in the works for a new business next year...I can't wait to show you what I have been working on. Thanks go to my sweet family and friends for their support in my new adventure. I can't wait!
This is my last session of the year...another awesome family. Our dear friends. We love having dinner together on Sundays, and playing card games. Love you guys...
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with their families!

{Friends}

When my honey and I bought our first home 5 years ago we met our awesome neighbors the Zito's. They have been such a blessing to us we have loved and appriciated their friendship...I love the colors in these don't you?






It has been so fun to watch their kiddos grow up. Their 2nd daughter was just 3 when we met....



















And what happens to a 3 year old at the end of the shoot? He doesn't want to take pictures anymore...cute little guy.

My Sister















This is my beautiful sister and her sweet family. As we drove around our hometown looking for spots to shoot at....we came upon this old abanonded house. I love old run down buildings and think that it adds character to the photos. Her sweet kiddos did perfect and in 30 minutes we got some amazing pictures...love you sis.


Oh and I have decided to start shooting full time with the New Year...I am going to officially start a little photography business! Be on the look out for a new logo, a new website and more beautiful images of beautiful people!
