R.I.P. Paradise's Alexandra Rogue 1992-2010

Rogue has been a member of our family since I was in the sixth grade. Yes, the sixth grade. From her puppy days, proudly prancing around with her full-length cocker spaniel coat, to her older days where she developed a real distaste for grooming and preferred to be slightly stinky, she has seen many changes in our family and been a companion to us all. We all have so many wonderful memories that include her. My brother, sister and I often affectionately refer to her as "sister" instead of "Rogue."

After many health complications over the past year, Jerad and Mom had to make a tough decision yesterday.

Rogue, you will never be forgotten or replaced in our hearts. Please be in prayer for my mom as she adjusts to life without her sweet pup.

KIDS Center Walk and Roll Fundraiser

I am posting this to ask for your help. I work closely with an amazing nonprofit here in town that serves kids with disabilities. I've had the chance to spend time around these kids at events watching them do the every day work to push past their limits and discover their potential. The Center does great work, but needs your help because they turn no child away. In these tight times, that spirit of helping everyone means more now than ever. But they can only stay true to this vow with help from people like you.

I am raising money for the Center's WALK & ROLL for Kids event this May. I'd love for you to join me in supporting the Center. You can walk, do your own online fund-raising page, etc. But at a minimum I'd love for you to consider a small donation and ask that you send this email on to others that you know.

Thanks for any help you can give. Click here for my fund-raising web page

Here are some images I shot of therapy sessions in progress at the center:

The Parks Family, Newborn Hunter

As I drove away from the Parks' beautiful home in Taylorsville, I was struck by the overwhelming feeling of how lucky I am. I get to share in some of the most intimate, joyful moments in the lives of others. It is left up to me to record the beauty of newborn life. My images will forever ignite memories of soft skin, sweet smells and gentle coo's. This is a time that passes in the blink of an eye but we hold on to for a lifetime. I am so humbled that I am trusted to create these images.

Meet Heather, Wesley and their sweet little baby Hunter. Aren't they beautiful?!

Kim and Darrin are Hitched!

Kim and Darrin are truly one of the sweetest couples I have met. Their love for each other, as well as for their family and friends was very visible on their wedding day. They had a beautifully elegant ceremony in the Waterford Room at the Galt House and their reception was at The Rivue.

Spring has Sprung!

Do you ever take a minute to examine the beauty of God's creation? Really take a moment and look at the intricate details? Take in the beautiful smells of Spring, celebrate life renewing itself? I recently had the opportunity to do that. It made me realize how often I take small things for granted- things that seems simple but deserve a moment of pause.

This images are from the garden of Stacey Vicari, life coach with Ideal Life.
