About a week ago Todd & Patricia came to visit us from NYC with their little boy Damien.  We’ve photographed them a few times through the years and they’ve become amazing friends.   We had such a fun visit until everyone got sick!! That part of it was no fun at all.  Luckily they were finally able to catch a plane back to New York after being sick for the last three days of their trip and it was such a relief.  Giada had the sickness and they it just sort of traveled around our families.  Another parenting lesson learned!

Well, half way through their trip, they decided it would be a great day to do photos.  So we went out to the old train yard, which was pretty crazy exciting for Damien!  He was a little jumping bean! and of course he just didn’t want to be still, which we all totally understood–it’s just part of the awesome excitement of being a kid.  So we shifted gears and went for some seriously fun editorial shooting.  And I was reminded of how it is to be a mom.  Often times you’re taking photos of whatever you can but likely take very few photos of yourself with your husband or baby.  So, I thought, let’s just focus on what makes this family wonderful.  And it was magic:).

Todd & Patricia & Damien, we love you guys!! Thank you so much for visiting.  We miss you already and wish you’d just move here and be our neighbors.  Hope you enjoy a quick sneak peek and sending love and hugs from Utah! xoxo, Trish & Jared & Giada
