Laws Wedding

What a beautiful wedding this turned out to be, when I first arrived in true wedding fashion everyone was running late, the bride (of course its her privilege to be lol), the photographer (ok so I arrived 15 minutes late, I couldn't find my keys), the decorator (when I got there I took it upon myself to put decorations up so it seemed like I'd been there for a long time.. lol) and from the mother of the grooms point of view she said they were 50 miles behind on everything else.. lol..
Once everyone and everything fell into place, what a breath taking event it was to watch the bride walk down the isle, a moment her now husband will cherish for a long time. The bride couldn't stop shaking and the groom couldn't stop smiling, but once the words "Husband and Wife" were said, all fears left them.
To the newly weds, May the Lord bless you both with the ability to make each other smile the way you both did on your wedding day... Thanks for allowing me to capture your beautiful day..

Leatutufu Wedding

What a beautiful couple these two are.. I mean just the way they are always looking at each other they have that newlywed look, you know the one I'm talking about the one that makes them the only TWO in the room.. Oh to be young and in love... haha
The wedding day was fun and you could tell so much went into the wedding plans.. A BIG shout out goes out to the mother of the groom who has done nothing but plan this one to be a perfect day for her son and new daughter in law.. Susi the whole world should take notes..
Thank you two for allowing me to capture your first moments as husband and wife, its such a special time may you both never loose that feeling.. May the Lord bless your new family with the feeling that you have today for the rest of your lives, may you always remember it in your heart and in your mind..

Tuiasoa Family

Have you ever seen a family where every single member of that family is well... BEAUTIFUL... That is the case with the Tuiasoa family, the sons handsome, the daughters beautiful, the parents all of the above and then some.. lol.. I have known this family forever (well that's what it seems like).. The parents are such kind hearted (not sure the spelling) people you can only imagine how the kids have all turned out.. I can see a little bit of the parents in each of them, the way they laugh, smile and the way they treat each other and especially their spouses these siblings were raised with love, that you can tell... I have childhood memories with them, some good some WE ALL NEED TO FORGET (hint hint) and some brought us to such a laughter tears were coming out.. I love this family, thank you guys for such a wonderful afternoon its always good to get together with family...

The Mounga family + a graduation

Ring... Ring.. Ring..
Me: "Hello"
David "Mom I lost my money."
Me "What money."
David "My money that you gave me, can you come bring me some money I'm here in Provo with no money mom and I'm hungry."
Me "David didn't you eat with the rest of the football camp kids?"
David "Yes, but I'm still hungry and they are ordering pizza, please mom can you come?"
Me "The younger kids have things to do and I cant come until later tonight when your dad gets home to stay with them."
David "Please please please please mom can you come right now."
That was the phone call I received while my son attended BYU football camp this year, and as would any mom my heart fell for his lil hungry cries (even though I knew he had eaten).. I called my husband and told him HIS son had called and needed some money and for him to leave work and go take him money, my husband of course responded he's fine and can wait until we go tomorrow, I hung up on him ( for those of you not married that's code for I'M MAD.. lol) 2 minutes later my husband called back and told me he called his friend that lives in Provo and him and his wife would run David some money... A short time after my son called and said "Oh thank you mom they brought it.."
And you all guessed it.. This is the family that ran and took money to my son David..
This story was just to show everyone the kind of family the Mounga family is.. ( I'm not sure if the sentence before this was grammar correct lol) I could never tell them how much I appreciate them for saving my sanity. I knew that I would of thought of nothing else except my son and getting him his money.. (by the way for those of you that know my son know that he really would of been fine without the money) yes my husband says I baby them to much.. lol..
Va congratulations on completing your schooling, what an example you are to us mothers who keep thinking it cant be done or that it would be to hard. You have set such an example to everyone.. And again THANK you for saving my sanity and easing my heart by taking money to a kid you had never met and for a mother you hadn't met yet... May the Lord be with you and your family as you enter a new chapter in your life, and may the students at BYU nursing know how lucky they are to have you as a teacher next semester...

The Pilivi Wedding...

You have to love all the fuss that goes around the church when the bride get there.. So beautiful.


I love the grooms face here when he get his first look at his bride coming down the aisle.


I caught these two exchanging glances with a smile during the ceremony.. They looked at each other as if they were the only two in the room....









Thank you so much Pilivi family for allowing me to capture your wedding and what an experience it was.. Everything was so thought out and so perfect all the planning and all the details that went into it, really paid off..
May the Lord bless you both as you enter a new chapter in your lives, and may he bless that you both always look at each with as much love and affection as you did today..

Uipi Family

His mom was in town for the weekend... Nothing beats a mother/son shot..


Know I now where she gets her smile from..


There is something about a young new family... I love to watch them during the shoot, I see the daddy helping with the baby, I watch to see how much of a hold the baby has on them and trust me when I tell you this baby runs the house.. ha ha ha.. I love to watch the way the parents react to the baby when she cries or she starts to get fussy or something simple like "I'm done with this photo session.." You can see the relief in their eyes when they have figured out what it was she needed to make her happy..
Uipi Family, thank you for allowing me to capture your young new family, may you ALWAYS look at each like it was the first time you met (like I seen you both do today), and may your arms always be the comfort your daughter needs when she's crying.. And may she always look at you to comfort her ( Ohhh I so miss those days.. lol)

Laita Kalama Leatutufu & Tishina Perry soon to be Mr & Mrs

This couple was so much fun to shoot, with just a few words he could make her smile and not just any smile I mean the smile that we use to do when we were little girls and we had a crush on that little boy in the playground, you know what smile I'm talking about.. (your doing in right now and remembering that little boy.. ) I love to hear about the stories behind the couple, without going into too much detail, this couple will stand the test of time and boy do they have a love story to tell their children and their children's children.
Laita and Tishina congratulations on your upcoming wedding may the Lord watch over you both as you enter this new stage in your life, and may he bless you with smiles your whole lifetime together....
