The Circus. 2013.

Family pictures, 2013, despite the fact that The Man hates doing pictures.  And despite the fact that I made my family wade into the stinky waters and gooey mud of the Great Salt Lake, I couldn't be more thrilled with the way Lauren with Lala's Lens did our pictures.

Guys, she's adorable on every level and I just love her.

Also, I love that she could take the vision in my head for my family pictures, and make it even better than I had hoped.

If you've ever been to the Great Salt Lake, and ever been in the Great Salt Lake, you'll understand their need to strip down.

Good thing Mom had the foresight to tell them to wear swimming suits under their clothes.  And Dad had the foresight to bring a barrel of freshwater in the back of the car to rinse off with.  Must haves if you're taking pictures in the Great Salt Lake, if you ask me.

I don't know how I'm going to pick which one makes it on the wall.

But if you're looking for a good photographer, I'd hit up Lauren here.  Oh, and you can follow her facebook pager here.
