Congratulations Jameson and Tina!

I just want to congratulate Jameson and Tina as they tied the knot last weekend. I wish you both the very best! Welcome to the world of marriage and the true turning point of life! I also had the pleasure of taking their engagement pictures. These two were so much fun to shoot as the simplicity of their relationship shined through. As I watched them through my lens, Jameson was constantly making Tina laugh and as she laughed you could see that "look" she would give him....that look that she absolutely adored him and he the same. They both are attending BYU and have alot of ahead of them. Good luck to the both of you!

Jameson's love note:
One of the first things that caught my attention with Tina, besides her apparent beauty, was that my goofiness did not shock or surprise her at all. Later on in our courtship I realized that our goofiness came from the same primordial oozes. Our compatibility is off the charts because of this luck of the draw, as some may call it. I like to call it fate.
On a more serious note, I love Tina for many reasons. She’s very patient. She loves her family. She loves my family. She’s great with kids. She’s intelligent. She’s independent. She laughs at my jokes. I love her family. We talk about everything… The list goes on and on for days. Every day actually gives me more reasons to love her.

Tina's love note:
Jameson is my perfect match. I was really surprised at first at how well we complement each other because I never thought anything like that was possible. He is the most amazing person and I am so lucky to have him in my life. One of the reasons why I love Jameson is that he loves me for who I am. I always feel comfortable and it's really easy for me to just be myself. I feel safe and secure when I am with him. He even stopped a bus for me once so that I wouldn't have to worry about getting run over. I am terrified of crossing streets. It's just one of my many quirks that Jameson puts up with. I am the happiest I've even been and I know that a lot of that has to do with Jameson. He always makes me laugh and we have so much fun together. He's so thoughtful and he makes me want to be a better person. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him because it's only going to get better from here.

Meet the Ultra Modern Family - The Peterson's

Having the opportunity to take family pictures of the Peterson's was beyond one of the best experiences I've had....let me tell you why! From the moment we began to plan for their family shoot, Angela was on top of her game, followed my instructions on what to wear, brought all the outfits I had asked for, and topped it off by bringing bribery treats for the kiddoz. Angela even had the best sister ever, Kristina assisting us with the kids and making it possible for our "Just Because" session afterwards. Then to make my job even easier, both the older children were naturals in front of the camera. No joke! My camera fell in love with them and I seriously couldn't stop shooting which is why it was so hard to narrow my selection down..... Can I just say that Angela is one of the luckiest girls I know, to look that good while being pregnant. Yes, believe it or not she is at the beginning of her 4th pregnancy which is why she wanted to take some family pictures before her belly showed, but seriously she was born with some great DNA kz she is absolutely beautiful! Thank you Peterson family for a wonderful evening! And for those who are attending my workshop in August, you are very lucky because the Peterson family will be participating and will be one of the model families we will be shooting that day. They seriously know how to rock it out naturally! And of course before I post their pictures, heres a love note from the Petersons:

"My Family......love, eternity, fun, laughter, energy, peace, craziness, excitement, friendship, playful......and we could go on and on. Mother, Father, sister, brother, sister, and one more on the way, nothing could be more perfect. Many words can describe a family, but no one can describe mine. We love eachother more than words can describe. But what words can't describe what these pictures have captured. Thanks Seini for capturing "My Family"!"

Newborn Teaser...more to come!

Isn't he adorable.....look at those feet........This lil' one was so precious that I could hardly wait to get at least one picture done and posted. Yes, so as I am running around this morning getting all my kids ready for church, I'm alternating each child and getting this picture put up all at the same time. You gotta love being a mom and working the magical wand of multitasking:) At 10 days old, baby boy here could'nt even fit most of the props because he's already tall and buff just like his Daddy:)... I can't wait to see this lil' guy grow because at day 10 of his life, he was already looking like a 3-4 month old and as healthy as can be. Cutest baby ever! Love ya baby T! More to come.......
