{On a side note}

Look what disk I dug up this evening... I just sang every one of these songs to Brade tonight, and he officially said, "this is my least favorite music... ever!" However, this music take me back to road trips in the Previa, cross country. Mom & Dad would park the car at WalMart to get snacks for the road and we Ward girls would blast it and go totally into Concert and we carried that concert on for hours...Mariah didn't have anything on us. Everytime I hear these songs it takes me back. We thought we were so good. How about that one time we were going to be "break dancers", and we actually designed our outfits...we were so funny. Mom & Dad, thank you for your patience.

{Angie & Ronnie}

These two grew up in the same home-town and didn't meet until a few years ago. He went away for his mission, came home and captured her heart. He would do anything for her, and you can tell they are very much "head over heels" for eachother! We had a great time getting to know them and can't wait for their wedding in June!

{Tyler... the Champ}

This was a really fun senior session. Tyler is a basketball stud for his high school and had the (huge) state ring to prove it. And he's tall too, I felt kinda small around him, but we had some good talks and laughs. I'm lovin' the basketball shots!

{Lauren}

We had a really fun time with Lauren for her Senior Pictures. She is such a pretty girl and on top of her looks, she's a stud Tennis player and Golfer for her high school. We had some great laughs and had a good time getting to know her too.

{Ben & Kirsten}

We had a fun and adventurous Saturday with these two. They are on the countdown til their wedding day and we are so excited for them! Fun Fact #1: Ben made Kirsten's pink sash...does it get any cooler than that? I don't think so! They are so great together and seem to be such a perfect fit. Fun Fact #2: They both sing. And they are singing together at their reception... I can't wait for April 12th!

{Simple Life}

Life can be a funny thing at times. It's full of surprises, fulfillment, disappointment, and growth. Today was one of those days where the expected happened- and though it seemed everything was about to crash down, it's the simple things that brought me back to reality; that bring us back to feeling like it will all work out. I walked out the front door to see that green buds were forming on my favorite plant, flowers are beginning to blossom. The hope of spring and warmth is right around the corner, and I feel that just maybe the winds will change. Just maybe.

{Spring. Warmth. Family.}

{Baby Boy}

We had a sweet little photo session w/ Brody and his parents. He wasn't feeling too good, but we got some of my favorite baby shots ever. This little boy is the sweetest, and loves to me held, snuggled, and fed. And his Mother is beautiful; look at those lashes! Babies just seem so snuggly, huggable, and kissable! Yum, yum, yum!

{Jessie}

This girl is amazing. I had the chance to be with her this weekend, and she kindly allowed me to try out our new lens on her. Let me tell you that it's everything I've been dreaming of, and I can't wait to push the limits with the upcoming events. Jessie is not only a beautiful girl, but she is smart, loving, and seriously hilarious. She pulled some funny moves, and made it a blast for Brade and I. I feel as though she is headed to big places and I know she has brilliant things in store for her. XOXO Bessy!
