Nicole Steiner Photography

I have been meaning to do this for some time, but with all the holiday preparations I felt like I never had time. Now that Santa has made his visit and that magical day is over for another 364 days, I want to spotlight the photographer who captured our family for our perfect Christmas card this year. I even received the copyright to edit the holiday card over her work, which is quite rare these days.

Do you have any friends who are super talented at everything they do? Baking scrumptious treats and divine dinners, teaching amazing church lessons, perfectly parenting twin girls, etc. Well I do, and her name is Nicole Steiner. And not too long ago she decided to add one more talent to her long list. Photography. She was super easily to work with, amazingly flexible with busy holiday schedules, and possesses a positive attitude. Working with her was a breeze, and I highly recommend it.

There were so many shots to choose from so deciding my favorite for our holiday card could have been quite hard. However, the second I saw my favorite used on the card I simply fell in love. A big THANKS to Nicole for snapping the perfect picture! Check out more of our shots at her website here.

Peace on Earth from Pampers


(Ignore the first ten seconds or so.)

Have you seen this commercial?
Do you wipe the tears away on your shirt after watching it?
Do you try to hide from your husband the fact that this commercial is making you cry again?
No? Me either.

The lights at Temple Square

Last night, we journeyed to downtown Salt Lake to enjoy the lights at Temple Square. As usual, the scene was beautiful and the weather was around 25 degrees. Perfect for walking or riding around a stroller in, right? We managed to keep Gavin warm but at one point he wanted to play in the snow so bad. So we cut the kid loose and smiles were all we saw. Despite several hundred people having the same Saturday night idea, we were able to feel that special spirit felt near the temple. Enjoy the pictures!
