Landon.

Turning one. I LOVE this little guy! Seriously.... he kept running up to me and put his arms out for me to hold him.... I had a hard time sometimes getting his pic because he was running towards me! How many 1 year olds do that????



This little guy lost his father last year in a tragic plane crash when he was only a few months old. I was lucky enough to get pictures of the family right before...Lisa (mom) is one of the strongest most amazing people I have ever met. She moved up here to Kaysville and contacted me for Landon's 1 year old pictures. So I need to share some of those precious moments before I share the rest of his pics for you to understand them.......










and one of the cute chubby little man when he was little...well he looked like a 3 month old when he was 2 weeks old so I guess he wasn't too little....

I asked Lisa to send me some pics of them together....






is this not the CUTEST picture you have EVER seen? Lisa said she was sneaking off to work one morning and as she went to kiss them goodbye she saw this and grabbed her camera....


This was right after it happened....and that is his wedding ring in his little fingers...


and now.... he looks JUST like him......





he is SO loved!!!








my favorite.





this is dad's tie....and all of the pictures of dad and landon together before he passed away behind him.


These are Keith's track trophey's and awards....

















Love you Lisa and Landon...... I'm so blessed to have played a tiny part in your memories of your little family.

Hi... Ive been following your blog ever since Mari posted pictures of the photos you took of her and her family. I LOVE your photography and I hope that on one of our visits to Utah we can have you do our family photos.

Thanks for posting this story. I lost my aunt in that same airplane crash and its such a tragedy but its good to see the victims family smile.

What a bittersweet story. I love the picture of him sleeping next to his daddy, and the ones with daddy's tie on. So sweet. I teared up a bit...

Like everyone else who has posted, I cried while reading this and looking at the pictures. I'm so glad to hear Lisa and Landon are doing well. The pictures with Keith and after he passed away are SO amazing and cute. Your beautiful photography will help keep Keith's memory alive and I'm sure Lisa is very grateful for that.

Hi Emily. I check your blog every now and then and I'm so glad you posted about this family. I lost track of her when we moved. But have been wondering about her. Lisa was one of the many sweet people we knew in Cedar. Landon is soooo cute!

hi there.

I have recently just moved up to Utah County area and am willing to travel for shoots. I will be making trips to Cedar City and St. George area once every couple of months if you are interested in catching me on those days, either email me or watch on my blog for announcements.
