It doesn't get any cuter than this!

These could quite possibly be 2 of my most favorite pictures of all time... I can't even tell you how much I love that little boy and his mom, my sister and my nephew. Every time I go through these pictures it brings tears to my eyes knowing how much I miss them and remembering how awesome it was to have them here in Missouri for a whole week visiting!!

The Macks!

Oh my, can I just start by saying BEAUTIFUL!! Beautiful weather, beautiful location and ofcourse and amazingly beautiful family :) Stephanie has become one of my favorite friends these days and I had the most fun getting to spend the evening with her and her super fun hubby and kids! I was so happy with the finished product I still go back and look at them all the time trying to decide with ones are my favorite!! I hope you love them as much as I do :)

Bailey Family

I had the wonderful opportunity to take some pictures of a family from my ward at our church. Not only that, but their kids have becomes my kids' BFF's :) They live right around the corner from us, so most days out of the week, they are either at our house or my kids are at their house. What a blessing in a new neighborhood to have made such amazing friends! We just love them and I'm so excited to have captured some fun moments of all them together! THANK YOU BAILEY FAMILY FOR BEING SO AWESOME!!

Finally... I'm back!

Holy cow! I just realized it's been over a year and a half since I blogged last! Man, I'm bad at this stuff....

So here's a preview of what I've been up to for the last year... not including being 6 months pregnant again :) (And that's a whole other story of why I haven't been working lately!) Now that I'm feeling better, I'll get my buns back in gear and get to work!

It's official..

I am completely the worst blogger EVER! I haven't even taken the time to tell about us moving away to Missouri, Josh starting a new job and everything that's happened in between! Yes yes that's right, we've moved. All the way across the world (it seems like) to Springfield, Missouri. Josh was offered a position at Bryan College we just could'nt turn down. It's what he's worked 6 years in Online Education for. So we're here, trying to get settled and used to a completely way of life.. but a wonderful one! We absolutely love it here, and so do the kids :) It's been tons of fun and we've made some really great friends. I hope to start up my business again here soon, it just hasn't been my priority yet. So here's some pictures of just my kids enjoying themselves and what we've come to call home !! And I promise to keep up with my blogging from now on...

MY FAMILY!!

One of my most favorite photographers EVER did our family pictures last night and I am so so so happy with the results!!.. ofcourse!! Just a peak so you can see just how adorable my honey and my kids are :) ENJOY!!! :)
Thanks again a million times to Tara Keator!! I LOVE YOU!!!

my last family shoot in AZ!

Yes yes, I know .. crazy right?! I am moving to MISSOURI!! My husband got an incredible job offer and we can't wait to get there :) It's going to be horribly sad and hard to go, leaving family and friends, but when an opportunity like this comes along, you just can't pass it up. So I'll have more info soon, I just wanted to get a couple pictures up while I had a chance.. !!

good ol'fashioned temple session :)

The longer I continue to process this session the more fun textures and colors I add ! This family is so dang cute, I had so much fun with them.. here's some more just to make me smile :)

This one I played with a ton, and finally decided on an old fashioned looking type.. I love the grain and the smears.

I love this smile...

You know when you see that truly happy in love LOVE smile.. and this is it.
This makes my heart pitter patter :)

Baby A. in DC

This is my most very favorite little 1 year old baby girl in the whole world, baby A. I am having the most fabulous time in DC visiting my sister and brother in law and the whole time I am here, I get to use the most beautiful model ever :) haha, ok I'm a little biased! Lots more scenic picture to come, but I just can't stop editing the baby pictures first.. so here's some love!
Also check out tons of more pictures on FACEBOOK at www.facebook.com/djmartin. Look in my photos.

Cabe, Tracy and the boys...

This session was super fun, and such a amazingly cute baby boys! I do have a thing for boys you know :) Tracy was just baptized last week into the Mormon faith and so they wanted family pictures at the Mesa LDS Temple. They were such a fun family, I can't wait to get to more of their pictures! Here's just a few to start..



I'm so sorry guys your sneak peak has taken me so long.. but I finally got a few for you :) Hope you enjoy.

more family :) LOTS of family!!

More from the family session I had on Wednesday night. Lots and lots of pictures to go through! We shoot for over 2 hours making sure to get every combination possible! It was definitely a productive night.


Grandma and Grandpa, still so very cute together....
And the hair and the eyes on this baby were just too cute for words :)

You know I have to admit, grassy spots are my favorite. I love when my families can get down in the green grass and play together... and the babies always seem to love it too!
