Schurz Family + a big announcement is coming!
There are some pretty big changes going on at Tonya Peterson Photographers lately. We are in the process of overhauling our website and getting a new blog. Speaking of our new blog, this is going to be the last blog post at this blog address. My new blog will be launching in the next few days with a huge announcement. Let’s just say that the blog isn’t going to be the only thing getting a new address! More to come about that later!
While in Vegas last week for wppi my good friend Sandy asked me to take some family portraits for her. Her little girl is super cute, but she had been kind of sick so we only got to do a quick session. Here are my favorites.






Sharp Family Portraits
I had the wonderful pleasure to do a family session at the Vernal Utah Temple last month. The kids were great sports especially since it was soooo cold! Thanks Sharp Family!









My Favorite!

Florida the Finale : The World Showcase
This post has taken forever to get up, but for good reason! I had over 50 pictures I wanted to include. The World Showcase at EPCOT is by far my favorite part of Disney World, and should not be missed!!! It is so neat because all of the employees that work in the countries are actually from that country. It is just a really neat experience!
Mexico



Norway




China



Alex’s Homeland Deutschland (Germany)

Our cute German waiter named Hagen.


Italy



This is the only picture we have in the American Pavillion. I guess it wasn’t as interesting to us since we are americans. They do have an awesome show there that shouldn’t be missed.

Japan




Morocco



France (Hello Pastries!!!)


Paige loved the pastries too!


England



Canada!
My sister took this picture of Brian and Tara, and even though it is blurry I had to include it. They were trying to look like the todem pole. Pretty funny.

Brendan : 9 Months Old
I know I said that I was going to post part 5 of Florida, but I didn’t have it all put together yet. Plus I didn’t want to make my sister-in-law Christy wait any longer for Chubb Chubb’s, oh I mean Brendan’s 9 month pictures. Isn’t he a total doll face? He is the sweetest and best baby in the whole world. I just love to squish his chubby cheeks.





I had to get some of him in just his diaper. He has some serious chubby thighs that I LOVE!!!


Oh he is so chubby!!! I wish Paige had been that chubby!

Florida Part 4 : Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure
We are fortunate enough to have an awesome cousin that works at Universal Studios as a performer. He got us all free tickets into the park. It was fun to do something different one day. We started at Universal Studios ad ended at the newer park Islands of Adventure. The rides here are a bit more intense that Disney World so Jack didn’t like them as much.
Here is my favorite picture from the day. I love how each kids personality shines! Even Crabby Abby is in form! I love her!


Turkey Leg anyone? Yumm-O!

I love this picture!



Da-Da Da-Da JAWS!

So we took all of the kids on Jaws, and they wont let them sit on laps. It was a lot scarier than I remember it. All of the kids were bawling their eyes out. Jaws kept attacking the boat right next to Jack! I felt really bad because Brian & I told him it wasn’t really scary. It was pretty hilarious! After we were done with the ride Jack said “I am only going to ride on rides that mom says, because she doesn’t lie to me!” It was so funny!



Tara giving the big thumbs up for The Hulk roller coaster. I would give it the big double thumbs down! It makes me sick!

Ok . . . by far the best ride there is Dudley Do Right Rip Saw Falls. Hello awesome!!! We got soaked! Not surprising though, that is a lot of weight in that boat! It was awesome!!!

I look so gross in this picture, but I had to share it! There wasn’t really a dry patch on us anywhere! Wicked cool!

Only one more Florida post, and I am saving the best for last!!! Come back tomorrow!
