Golden Fields | Leavitt Family

I went to high school with Courtney, but it’s been way too many years since we’ve seen each other! Turns out, she recently moved minutes down the road from me! It was so nice to see her again and meet her kids. Let me tell you, they are the cutest, sweetest boys! I was dying over their adorable personalities. They were nice enough to model for me at this new location that I’ve been wanting to try out. I absolutely LOVE how it turned out and the light was so gorgeous! Thanks for your help Leavitt Family!!!

Summer Engagements | Hailey & Payton

Hailey and Payton couldn’t be more perfect together! They were so easy going during their session and we had such a great time! Hailey and I grew up in the same hometown and our moms were good friends. She is so stunning, inside and out! Since I don’t shoot weddings, I don’t get the opportunity to shoot engagement photos often, but I absolutely loved it! Congratulations! I’m so happy for you both!

The Bair family seriously couldn’t be any cuter!!! We met through preschool and my kids and their kids are the same ages and such cute friends. They are the funnest family! I love their dynamic and I’m so excited for them to add another little one to their gorgeous family. They were so willing to model for me at this new location and I’m very grateful! Thanks Bair family! I love the location and how their photos turned out. I have a few Fall Mini Session openings left at this location, so you can get gorgeous fall pictures just like these!

Las Vegas Senior Session | Jesse

Happy back to school! If you are starting your senior year, it’s the perfect time to schedule your senior session! Trust me, there is a limited window of good weather in the spring and graduation will sneak right up on you. Every year I have panicked parents emailing trying to get senior photos done and grad announcements out on time. Save a little stress and schedule your senior session in the fall!

Ringwood Family

This cute little family’s kids are about the same ages as mine. It was so fun to meet them! They are just so adorable! Abby and her husband were so patient and kind. I’m so grateful to meet such wonderful people at my sessions! Even though the flowers were mostly gone, Albion is still so gorgeous and not having to fight the crowds was a huge bonus! Thanks for having me Ringwood family.

Albion Basin | Mortensen Family

I had met Amy and her oldest son Sam earlier in the year when I did his senior photos. It was so nice to meet the rest of the family! Sam will be leaving on an LDS mission later this month, so they wanted family photos before then. Albion is so gorgeous, even when it isn’t in full bloom. And bonus, there’s less people and more parking.

Baby Will | Cake Smash

Baby Will | Cake Smash

Neither of his sisters wanted anything to do with their first birthday cake, so I expected Will to be the same. Luckily he loved it and was so fun to watch! This was a really simple setup that anyone could do. I used two white sheets and hung them in the back yard. I prefer sheets for this, because seamless backdrop paper looks really messy with all the cake and frosting. I ordered balloons and balloon tape from Amazon, and it makes balloon garlands and arches SO easy to do! I also purchased a balloon filler earlier this year and it saves so much time! Definitely worth it!

Will Turns One | Birthday Portraits

That was the fastest year of my life! Will has been such a joy from day one. He is the happiest, smiliest baby and you just can’t help but love him! He’s been an angel. We were out of town for his birthday, so I took these portraits of him in our backyard when we got back. Of course, his sisters had to get in the photos too. They both adore him! Ava and Will have an especially cute friendship. They love to play, read and giggle together. Their laughs are so infectious! Happy Birthday Bubby! We sure love ya!
