Happy Halloween

Wednesday, October 30th, 2013

Happy Halloween from our family!  My sister-in-law gave us this adorable BYU cheerleader’s uniform for baby Nora, so of course, I had to talk my boys into playing along as football players.  I think they had fun with it, since they all like to tackle each other anyway.  ;)

The boys started getting antsy, wanting to play.  It was the perfect costumes for that!

So they started playing catch with daddy.

I tried to get baby Nora to smile.  She is almost 3 months old and very social, always cooing and giggling for us.

Then the boys wanted to play tackle.

An Exciting Announcement!

Thursday, October 10th, 2013

No, I’m not pregnant.  ;)

I’ve been published! In a real book!  The Mormons: An Illustrated History of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints was published on October 8, 2013 – just two days ago!  An editor contacted me about a year and a half ago about using one of my pictures in an upcoming book they were publishing.  We worked out the details, but I didn’t hear anymore from them and forgot about it.  I kind of thought the project fell through or something.  But by chance I contacted them last month and they said the book would be available this October.  So I finally have a copy in my hands, and it’s a beautiful book, full of gorgeous illustrations and pictures about the history of the LDS church.

My picture comes toward the end of the chapter about temples and families by Richard O. Cowan.  This is a lovely couple, and I had the privilege of photographing their temple sealing back in 2009 – almost 5 years ago!  My style has changed a bit, but I still love this picture.
