Parker at the BYU Indoor Track Invitational

Here are some shots from the 2011 BYU Indoor Track Invitational last Saturday.
Parker was coming off a recent hip injury, so he was very nervous about how he would do. I was nervous he was going to re-injure himself. But he did fine and remains injury free. He ran in the 2-mile and 1-mile races.
It's really hard to get good shots at this venue because you can only see the runners for brief seconds as they run past.
But here are a few.

Moreno Family

This is my cousin Shayla's family. I met them in Provo recently for a family portrait session. We ended up on the south side of the BYU campus for these shots. Gorgeous group, don't you think?

Tempe and Helena -- Nobody Can Be Uncheered with a Balloon

Credit goes to Winnie the Pooh today for that cute balloon quote.

And really, isn't it true?

How can you not be happy when you have a balloon?

Especially a yellow balloon with a smiley face on it.

My portrait session with Tempe and Helena turned out to be a very windy (blustery, as Winnie the Pooh would say) day.

We still managed to have a good time, and it turns out balloons are even more fun when it's blustery out!

:)

Oh, and go BYU Cougars!
