Taking photos of my girls makes me happy! I love trying new things and just letting them be. Ava has loved getting her photo taken lately… Tess, not so much. That’s why you see a lot less of her. She runs away pretty fast! I love Ava’s curls and I hope they never go away. Tess has the most hilarious personality and always has messy hair. Staying home with kids so much can get monotonous, but finding the small beautiful moments in motherhood bring joy everyday.
Family Portraits
Halloween + Personal Post
Holidays are so much more fun with kids! We went to the pumpkin patch at Schmit’s Farm and the kids had a blast! They loved it so much, we went twice. This was the first year Tess understood trick-or-treating and she was INTO it! It was so fun to watch her. She was not afraid to get right up there and take as much candy as they would let her (which was a lot)! She pretends to be a kitty all the time, so this was the perfect costume for her. She crawls around “meowing” until you pet her haha. It’s the cutest! Ava changed her mind a million times about what… Keep Reading
Josie + Lifestyle Newborn
I love this family! They recently welcomed tiny Josie into the family and I’m so grateful Tara asked me to document this exciting time in their lives. There’s nothing quite like having a newborn around. They are all so smitten with her. And look at that head of hair! She was so sweet. The best compliment as a photographer is having return clients. I took their family photos at Antelope Island last year (you can see that session here). I’m so grateful for this family, thank you!
Johnson Family
Bless my dear sister-in-law Nicci! She is the very first person who asked me to take their family photos. She has stuck with me, and I’m so grateful. I look forward to taking her sweet family’s photos every year. She is so laid back and just trusts me and goes with the flow. I love that about her! They are all just so photogenic and I always love how their photos turn out.
Minchey Family + Emery County Utah
I love getting to photograph friends and family when I visit Emery County! Except for when it’s a family I haven’t seen in a while and their kids are so grown up it makes me feel super old… haha. The Minchey family was wonderful, but I seriously remember their oldest being a little boy when I moved away. How does that happen?! This location is less than a mile away from my parents house and I had never used it before! I love how it turned out. Thanks for letting me capture your amazing family Mincheys!
Lemmon Family + Little Cottonwood Canyon
Oh little Maisy! She completely stole my heart at this session! I mean, how adorable is she? She was so perfect the whole time even though it was windy and a little chilly. I used to work with her beautiful mom Brighton, before I had my first baby. I love anytime we are able to get back together. She was such a great friend to have at work! I loved watching her husband Dean with his little girl. You can tell she has him wrapped around her tiny little finger. He is so cute with her! Thanks for having me Lemmon family.
Ellis Family + Fall Mini Session
This session was fun for me! It made me realize how much harder I have to work when I have toddlers and babies in front of my camera haha. These older kids were a breeze! Janna and I are related through our grandmas, who are sisters. It had been far too long since I had seen her and her kids, so it was great to get in touch again! I realize I’m not great and staying in touch with people. I just need more hours in the day. Anyone have tips? Or a time machine? I’m just so grateful that people actually keep hiring me to do this. Thanks Ellis… Keep Reading
Anderson Family + Fall Mini Session
I have been dying to take this family’s pictures and I’m so glad we finally made it happen! Michelle is my sister-in-law’s sister…. so I’m not sure what that makes us but I do know that she’s pretty great. Her two boys, Benson and Banks were the most well behaved little kids I think I have ever had at a session. They were a dream! Thanks again for having me Anderson family!
Welch Family + Fall Mini Session
Kjirstyn is my husband’s cousin and she is so great! I was beyond flattered when her and her gorgeous family drove all the way from Idaho Falls just to take family photos with me. I mean, who does that? I love them for it! Their session went so well and I had a great time with their sweet kids! Kjirstyn is a smart mom and waited to dress her little boy until they got to the location. He hops out of the car, freshly dressed, and trips face first in the dirty parking lot right on a grease spot! It was just so typical of life as a mom I… Keep Reading
Hancey Family + Brighton
The summer after my husband John and I got married, he felt that doing summer sales was the right thing for us. Neither of us were too sure about it, but we packed up and drove to Arkansas anyway. It was not a very successful summer as far as sales went, but we met wonderful people! John still says to this day, the only reason we were supposed to go was to meet Nick and Lauren. Actually, we all lived in Logan, Utah at the time but didn’t meet until we were in Arkansas where Nick and Lauren were also doing summer sales. That has always seemed so funny to… Keep Reading
