Baptism Day

Recently I took a VERY last minute trip to Utah. I loaded my SUV with luggage and TONS of food. Oh, I can't forget to mention my 4 kids too. Yep, I took the 11 plus hour drive to Utah from Sacramento ALL by myself. WHy you ask? It's all in the name of my BFF Nicki. Her sweet daughter Hannah turned 8 years old and was getting baptized. It seems as if Nicki and I have missed out on so much of each others lives. We live too far away from each other. It was my wonderful husband who suggested me taking the kids out of school and going for the weekend and for a few days into the next week. And so I did. I am SO thankful I was able to witness Hannah be baptized and confirmed a member of the LDS faith. Right before sunset, Nicki, Hannah and I set out in Midway Utah, for the perfect locations to capture her special day. Her baptism dress was beautiful. Hannah shinned of happiness and was just beautiful.

This is one of my favorite moments that I captured. She was twirling around and around. She reminded me of Alice In Wonderland. I just had to share this one. More are coming. I think I was catching up on my sleep this past week! I have energy to work on the rest of the images!

Thanks Hannah. You were a little trooper. It was freezing and you didn't complain! Perfect little model. Miss you little buddy!
