I’m not even sure where to begin with this family. I have known Frank and Tara since I was young. Frank was my bishop during my teenage years and Tara was the most fun at girls camp! I adore them both! They have the most beautiful family and I really look up to them as they are raising their four kind, hard working and beautiful daughters. Their oldest Erin (in the black dress), is 21. She is an amazing long distance runner at Dixie. I have loved watching her running journey since she was competing in high school. She continues to amaze me! Earlier this year she noticed a lump on her hand. When she got it checked out, the doctors were pretty sure it was benign but when she woke up for her biopsy they told her otherwise. It is cancerous. Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma is the diagnosis. She is getting a scan today to see whether or not it has spread to other areas. She will be undergoing intense chemo and so we wanted to give them some beautiful family photos before she loses her hair. If you are the praying type, PLEASE pray for this sweet girl. She is a fighter and in her words, a badass that is going to beat cancer! I know she can! She has a long road ahead of her and her family. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they conquer this together.

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!
