The Whole Merrill Family

Jex (my son) and Conner (Annette's son)  Doing what boys do best.

All because too people fell in love. So cheesy but true. Brad's parents are some of the most important people in our life.  It was fun to photograph them and see what truly happily married people look like. Not many families have such a strong foundation. The WHOLE family knows that they are amazing people.

Greg and Jackie don't like pictures.  Surprising since they both look so great in this one. Jackie is one of my oldest friends who just happened to marry Brad's brother. Brad says it's a boodwa picture.  Is it?

The Jagielski family, say that last name 3 times fast. What an amazing family.  This is Brad's sister Annette's family we lived right by them in Idaho. I miss them horribly.  Jex my son and Conner are best buddies.

The whole Fam-Damily. All the Merrill's in one place. We met at the old barn behind our house in Idaho Falls and took a few pictures. I set the camera up and had the barn owner snap the shot. I think this is the first shot he took that day with about 9 head swaps. Can you tell who has had there head replaced?

Our Kids

What' more fun than taking pictures of your own family. Especially when you think your kids are the cutiest kids on Earth. I'm not prideful in a many things but my kids I take a lot of pride in our kids.  

Jex- He's my thinker. This picture shows his personaltiy a little.  He's always thinking about something right now it's all about the Titanic and hidden treasures. It was kinda fun to catch him at one of these moments when he's just thinking.

Ava on the couch in our living room.  This was actually one of the first pictures that I took with my new camera. She is a crazy kid. I'm pretty sure she'll be our family comedian.

Ava at the pond by near our house.  We drove the rhino there on a Sunday and feed the ducks.We about got pelted with a golf ball.  That was innteresting.  Grandma Ball bought her the hat and I just couldn't refuse the oportunity to take her picture in it.

We drove to Kolob one Sunday and found the Kolob Lake. This little canoe was just docked on the bank so I took full advantage of it and took a few shots of Ava who was dying to climb in and go for a ride.

One of my all time favorite pictures. We were driving to Kolob and the kids were getting restless. There was no traffic on the road so the kids got out of there seatbelts and we unrolled the windows and turned Hank Williams Jr. song A Family Tradition really loud and un rolled the window.  My camera was sitting at my feet in the case and Ava was on my lap. I looked in the mirror and saw all my kids hanging out like little puppies and so I pulled my camera out and started shooting. What a good memory.

Adopho Family

These are some of our good friends from Idaho that have also moved to St. George.  I photographed them  near there house in Sunbrook. We found this awesome tree that I think made the family picture turn out perfect.
