my girls

Until I had my baby girl, I always craved having one. My good friend has three beautiful girls, all about the same age as my boys. I've always loved them as if they were my own. We'll just have to arrange a marriage between one or all three of them with my boys! These pictures made me miss them and their mother so much. She was one of my first good friends in El Paso after I got married. ...

I photographed three of our siblings and their families. I love taking pictures in Utah. The colors are beautiful and the sun is not too bright. We were lucky this day and had pretty nice weather for a winter day in December. ...
