I am SO excited it's May! It feels like the beginning of an adventure! The whole summer is ahead. What shall we do?

We have a Camperworld membership. You get entrance into camping locations across Utah. Recently there has been some trouble and they closed their doors. Well there went our summer right down the drain. It appears it may have opened again so I have high hopes we can camp this year after all.

Warmer weather also means I can make portraits with Kiyah and not have her bundled up in coat and boots. Even bundled up it's freezing. So now she can wear pretty things and feel comfortable.

She is missing so many teeth right now she lisping. It's adorable!

I love children running, and with a pretty dress that swings, even more adorable:) Toward the bottom there is a running portrait.

We really enjoyed making these portraits. She is nine years old now, a tween according to some sources, and we now can talk and laugh and joke around on a whole new level. I love it!

Here they are. What do you think?
