|| Morgie Porgie ||



If I wore a white shirt and overalls she would wear a white shirt and overalls. If I wanted to play dolls she would play dolls. If I slept over at grandmas she would sleep over too. When I got an email address I made her one too (sorry about that morgieporgie6 lol). If I got married she got married too ;)



Morgan is a lot more like a little sister than a cousin. She was my best friend growing up and I would have picked to hangout with her and her family over anyone and still would! The amount of memories we have together is ridiculous. When you spend as much time freezing in ice rinks, eating KFC Sunday dinners, battling it out with the boys during endless backyard games, playing dress up for hours and staying up way past our bedtime, you become close. Really close!



I got the chance to photograph her wedding this summer and it was such a special day! I am so happy that she has found such a great guy like Jordan! They make the perfect couple. I am so proud of the amazing women she has become and for the choices she has made. I love you morgs xoxo

Here are just a few of the highlights from their day! More real "wedding photos" to come on my photog blog…















































After the wedding, since all the Maxwell cousins gathered together for it, most of us went and spent some time in Waterton! It was so much fun. We did the usual get ice cream, go to the Price of Wales Hotel, walk around and see the wild life, go to the falls, and lastly hike Bears Hump! These are my favourite people ever and I love them to death! So glad we got to spend this time with them. Also Brett and I finally got our photo in front of the falls so we can really be married now! Yay us. 



Overall it was such an amazing weekend and I wish we could do it all over again!

|| Summer Dayz ||

I can't believe it's September 5th and June, July and August are over. Summer is over. I had such an amazing one too. I will be doing some catchup posts, since I haven't blogged since May, but just incase you wanted to get a little glimpse into my summer this is for you!


Also you may have realized I spiffed up the bloggity blog! This happened last night from about 12am - 3am. At least my insomnia produces cute things! I'm happy with how it looks but I will probably change it in a few weeks. I just have to much fun doing it! Anyway I hope you all had an amazing summer just like I did!

|| Life Via My iPhone ||

A lot has happened in the last few days and I am feeling like I need a good catch-up post! I figured the best way to do it was through my camera roll on my iPhone! So here are my last few days in grainy iPhone photos… 


I got this calling a few months ago to be a "Stake Camp Certification Leader". I believe that all callings of from our Heavenly Father so I said yes. I was freaking out inside though. I am not a huge camper and the only camping I have ever really done was at girls camp. Even though I don't feel very qualified, I have loved this calling. The girls I work with are the best 16-18 year olds ever. I will be so sad when camp is over in June. This past Saturday we did a little certifying at Lake Pleasant and it was a blast!

After canoeing it was time to get ready for Dental Prom 2014! Brett and I got last minute tickets and we are so happy we did. We had a lot of fun gambling our fake money away on the blackjack tables and eating really great food! 


This is Brett's clinic partner Mike and his amazing girlfriend Lauren! Brett has really enjoyed working with Mike this year and I have liked getting to know both Mike and Lauren! 
You could say I'm sort of his biggest fan.

As much fun as I had at "prom" I couldn't wait to get my heals off and into my night gown! I guess I am my mother's daughter after all...

When we drove past this on our way home from church I literarily could here the Hallelujah Corus! It is only 3 blocks from my house. It opens on Friday and you know I will be there!  

This one time our Apple Tv remote fell into the couch. It fell so far in there we had to take apart the entire bottom  of our poor couch. Don't worry we got the remote and Brett pretty much fixed the damage as I sat there and watched… again in my night gown. You might as well just call me Lisa.


Yesterday, my relief society put on the most amazing garden party! It was so much fun. It was decorated so cute and the food looked amazing! (All contained gluten so I just got to look) The talks were all on the worth of our souls and how as women we need to be kinder to ourselves and to each other. I struggle quite a bit with self image and always have, so this was such a good reminder that I need to be a little easier on myself and remember I am a daughter of God. 

I seriously love this group of ladies! They are so friendly and welcoming! It is so nice to have such fun girlfriends that live close by. They are always planning such fun activities so we can all have something to do during the day. I know we were put in our ward for a reason.

Brett took this photo after the first one. He said "You need to be more in the light". He did such a great job you can't even tell this is an iPhone pic! I swear I didn't edit this at all in photoshop just VSCO on my iPhone. He is pro!

|| Birthday Boy ||

"One year older and sexier too!" Oh wait, maybe that's not how the song goes? Oh well, when it's applied to Brett it sounds pretty perfect. I mean all joking aside, I quote honestly think he gets more handsome every single birthday. I seriously love him more than I can describe. He means everything to me and I just wanted to wish him a happy belated birthday on my little blog!

His birthday was pretty low key this year. His family was all here in AZ so that was nice timing on their part! We went and got ice cream, opened presents, he got to watch some playoff basketball, and then we finished it off with a stake dinner! Overall I think he was pretty happy about it.

I am so dang happy this boy was born! My life would be dull and depressing without him! Also I wouldn't have the most handsome photo assistant to help me by caring my heavy bags, the bags of my clients, scout out great shoot locations and be there to tell me I'm great at my job. I struck gold with this guy.

xoxo love you Brett!
