Sweet baby J.

Kendall!

I am just so glad my girls like to pose!  I love this spunky kid.

Sophie is turning 1!

I can't believe this little lady is 1 already!  Her big birthday bash is this weekend and we can't wait to celebrate!  We sure love you Sophie!!  

Newport Ladies Book Club

A new post!!  I have really enjoyed those family pictures of Shane and Kristy...guess that is why I haven't posted in about 4 months!  AAaaHH!  I can't believe it has been so long!  I recently did a photo shoot for the authors of this new book series and we had so much fun!  It is a series of four books written by Annette Lyon, Josi Killpack, Heather Moore and Julie Wright.  Annette is in my ward and I was excited at the opportunity to do something new.  So watch for these books...and maybe my photos...coming to a Deseret Book near you!

Shane & Kristy: family photos

This weekend I got to take some pictures of some of my most favorite people!  We sure love you guys. Click here to see some more.

#3!!

It's official!  May 8 (or thereabouts...)  we will be adding a new little one to the Adams family!  We are so excited.  Krissy and Kendall are so excited they can hardly stand it!!  I think it will be so fun to watch them help take care of our baby.  What do you think...boy or girl?  We'll find out for sure around Christmas time.  :)

Select Health Commercial

 Here is our commercial!! It still makes us laugh every time we watch it. We might die if we actually see it on TV!

Our bus ad.

Our magazine ad.

Our billboard!

You will have to let me know if you see us around town!

Lights, camera...action!

We were selected by our health insurance company to share our story in their new ad campaign.  It really all happened so fast, it was hard to believe!  First we got a call from IHC's Select Health asking if we would be willing to do it.  I warned them that cameras make me nervous and I couldn't guarantee how I would do with an interview.  They told me not to worry about it and asked if they could have their advertising agency contact me.  I agreed.  Within the next two weeks we had many people stop by to meet us, interview us, photograph us...I suddenly felt like I was interviewing for a job that I never applied for.  It really was kind of crazy!  On a Tuesday, I got a call saying they were in the area and could they stop by for a minute...they would be here in ten minutes!  Aaaah!  Within 10 minutes a van full of 10 people arrived and filed into my house.  They were kind and forgiving of my mess. :)  They asked if they could start filming here the next day.  I said sure and spent the rest of the afternoon pulling things together.  I even went and bought a new sweater.  Turns out, you don't end up seeing my house or my sweater in the commercial.  :)  But you just never know!  

They set up at 9:30 on Wednesday morning and it was the real deal.  Hair and makeup, craft services, lighting, sound...  Just like the movies.  And contracts.  We worked under the Screen Actors Guild contracts so we felt pretty official and for a day we were treated like royalty.  They interviewed me on camera for 1 1/2 hours, asking all kinds of questions about my experience with Select Health.  We wrapped up at about 2 and went to Wheeler Farm for the rest of the filming.  We didn't get done there until 7:00.  It was a long, but fun day.  Really a once (maybe twice) in a lifetime experience!  I was so excited to have the chance to do this with Krissy!

Setting up in front of our house. We caused quite the buzz in the neighborhood.

Hair & makeup

She was such a natural!

All the people it took to make our 30 second commercial!

They asked Krissy to make some silly faces...you should have seen this girl work it!  I couldn't help but think of my shy, little girl that used to be...not anymore.  This little gal is bursting with confidence and personality.  I am so thankful for her and for the way she is growing up!  

Our commercial, radio ad, bus ad and billboard (aaaahh!) are going to launch in the next few weeks! I will post everything when I get my copy.  

here comes the bride!

I got to spend some time with this sweet bride this week...for more look here.  I am getting so excited for their wedding day.

another school girl

Kendall was so excited for her first day of preschool this week!  She is so excited to get to go to school with one of her best buddies.

That Max is a looker...isn't he?
