This was my first time taking photos of a family at Tibble Fork in the SNOW. I thought it was so beautiful all dressed in white, and I got to be up there with this sweetest family.

Let me tell you a story. Before I got in to photography, I had my first baby (who is now 8). My husband was in school, we were living in my parents basement, and we were POOR. I ran into Candace at the hospital where I was working, and even though I hadn’t seen her in years she offered to take photos of my sweet baby girl.

You guys. I was so grateful. It is hard for me to express how I feel when I reflect back on it. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and my family is studying the New Testament right now. We just talked this week about The Sermon on the Mount. One of the beautiful things Jesus talks about is doing things for others without the expectation of praise or benefit. Candace completely embodies this! It might seem like something small, but it was such a big deal to me. I really don’t think there is anything more admirable than a person willing to do something kind for someone else, knowing they won’t get anything out of it.

Anyway, that is the kind of person I got to photograph in this beautiful Tibble Fork Snow, and it was just magical <3
