I love taking pictures of babies. It's an amazing experience when my friends become mothers. They are tough, hard-working, and so loving! Lily was born on Christmas Day. She is a gift from heaven. This tiny little thing is just too precious to be here on the Earth. (P.S. Their maternity picture was taken on the mother's due date, but the baby didn't come until later. We went to the Christmas party together. Yes, what a tough pregnant woman! :)

I just love seeing this family whenever I go down to St.George (or when they come up to see me :)  I'm so honored they still pick me to take their family picture despite our long distance relationship! They are too sweet to me! Do you see the little girl up there with a dad holding her up on his shoulders? That's the oldest daughter, and they have a second daughter now. Yep, time flies by. I am so thankful to be a part of this family and see them grow. P.S. I took this picture less than a month after Lacey had her second baby. I don't know how she still remains beautiful , but she sure does a good job!

I don't even remember how long I've known them...maybe forever? I can't believe I used to babysit these handsome/beautiful children. They are all taller than me now. (I'm not sure how I feel about that.) They have been so so so good to me. I like to call them, "a miracle family." They have gone through so much, but you can never tell because they know how to be happy :) They've always shown me how to build a strong relationship within the family and have inspired me to become a better person through their examples. This is a family where I can go, have fun, take a nap, and ask for help. They've always been there for me. I am so lucky to live near to them, so I can visit them whenever I want! They invited us for Thanksgiving dinner while my mom was visiting me from Japan. Thanks for the wonderful food and for letting me take picture of your wonderful family!
