Sisters on Valentines

February 20, 2018

These two have been sick, tired and therefore cranky for the past couple weeks. I know they don’t feel well, but some days all the whining and crying and not sleeping just pushes me until I feel like I can’t do it. They can be so hot and cold. Tackling each other and stealing toys one minute and then cuddling and giving each other kisses the next. They are so sweet at times, it feels like my heart can’t soak up any more love. These photos were taken in less than five minutes and the girls went through the whole range of emotions haha… it captures their relationship perfectly! Man they sure are cute!

I always wondered who actually bought these giant stuffed animals on valentines… turns out it’s uncles that love their nieces a lot (and don’t care about where mom is going to keep them).

play

January 4, 2018

I took a break from blogging over the holidays, so I thought I would post a quick one of some shots I took of my kids this morning. Featuring lots of bananas, playing, dancing, reading and messy hair. Always messy hair. Not pictured: me still in my pajamas.

Brian Family + Memory Grove Park

December 12, 2017

My husband and I are friends with Kelsey and her husband Ryan. I was honored when Kelsey asked if I would take family photos of her side of the family, the Brian’s. I had met most of her family before, but it was so nice to meet the rest of her siblings. They are all just as kind and sweet and Kelsey, and they know how to have fun together! It really should be illegal for one family to get all the good looks though; aren’t they all gorgeous? We fit this session in right before all the pretty leaves fell. Some of them had to make quite the drive to meet up for these photos. I’m so glad they all took the time to make it happen, because I love how they turned out! Thanks Brian/Forsyth/Richardson family! I had a great time with you all!

Behling Family + Desert Family Session

November 21, 2017

I’m lucky enough to call these guys family! Katie is such a sweetheart and I’m so glad my cousin Brooks brought her into the family. When she told me she wanted to do their session on the desert, I was so excited! She wanted something a little different, and I love that. It turned out to be a favorite, even if we did get pretty dirty doing it! Their two boys had a blast rolling in the dirt together. When the boys were done, I stole Katie for a few shots of just her. I love doing that for moms. She is gorgeous!

Anderson Family + Green Canyon

November 16, 2017

We had to reschedule this family session due to bad weather. Jordan told me they were cursed and that it’s a running joke that it happens every time they try to do family pictures. We finally broke the curse, because it was the most beautiful fall day! The weather couldn’t have been more perfect! The Anderson family is the sweetest. I met them through my brother-in-law and they are just really great people. Jayson is so lucky to be surrounded by such beautiful girls. They were all wonderful, but their littlest Blake, was just the happiest little thing through the whole session. She won my heart for sure! I had so many favorites from this one, so I just threw them all in!

Bryner Family + Tunnel Springs Park

November 14, 2017

The Bryner family was so easy going during their family session and it shows! They made family photos with 4 kids look like a breeze! Rickie and her husband Mike are so cute together! I love getting a few shots of just mom and dad at family sessions. After all, it’s their love for each other that started it all. They just radiated love and happiness! The Bryners live in my brother and sister-in-law’s neighborhood and recently moved back to Utah from Arizona. I had so much fun meeting them and getting to know their kiddos. Such great people, I’m glad they decided to move their beautiful family here!

Bennett Family + Temple Quarry Trail

October 26, 2017

The Bennett Family is from little Emery County, Utah, just like me. They drove all the way up to Salt Lake City for their session and I’m so glad they did! I hadn’t seen them for a while, so it was nice to talk with them and catch up. They were so fun to hang out with, I might see if they will adopt me. Plus they are all just gorgeous! I had a great time at this mini family session. The fall colors were perfect!

Johnson Family (Part 2) + Rooftop Family Session

October 24, 2017

Are you ready to see this gorgeous family at their second location? As I was editing this one I was thinking, “This might be my favorite session”, but then I realized I catch myself saying that after every new family session, haha. It was so hard to choose favorites for this post, so I might share some more in the future. I love how these turned out and the location was perfect. It was a little chilly, but I think you will all agree it was worth it!

Johnson Family + Memory Grove Park

October 19, 2017

I am in love with this family session! Jarom is my brother-in-law and his family is seriously so easy going, they acted like they take family photos every day! Serious naturals in front of the camera. They made my job so easy! Nicci has supported my love for photography from the beginning. I have taken their family photos since 2012, and let me tell you I wasn’t very good back then. I appreciate them sticking with me and always cheering me on. We started their session at Memory Grove Park in SLC to catch the gorgeous fall colors, and then we moved to a second location downtown that I’ll be sharing in another post soon!
