Photo Shoot with Ashley for Senior Pictures

 Before we were leaving on the cruise, I asked Ashley what kind of background she would like for her senior pictures. I was thinking the beach might be nice, but she said she wanted a snowy background. No problem, right? We live in Utah after all. However, anyone that is familiar with Utah weather this winter is well aware that we did not get a single significant snowfall all winter long. When Ashley was off school for winter break, we had a night of snowfall that left maybe an inch on the ground at our house. That meant that the mountains might have a little more, so we headed up AF canyon to get some pictures of Ashley and Lula. They looked really good on my phone and her fancy camera when we were up there, but they looked blurry after transferring them to my computer. I'm not sure why. My favorite is the one where Ashley is down close to Lula hugging her.

Ashley has been such a joy to raise. She has made us laugh a lot with some of the things she did as a kid. She has also made us super frustrated with some of those things. But she is a beautiful young woman with a heart of gold and such a love for God's creations. She loves Jesus and her family, and I look forward to seeing the great things she does in the future (even if she isn't ready to accept that it is time to grow up and adult).
