I was thrilled to be able to photograph RJ, as I took pictures of his family last summer before he was born. This little man was so delightful and fun! He was all smiles and laughs the whole time. Plus, his big blue eyes are some of the prettiest I’ve seen!
Time to share my annual family session with the Simpson family!
Natalie is one of my dear friends and I love that she trusts me to photograph her family every year. It’s especially fun to look at the progression of her boys and see how grown up and well-behaved they are now during our sessions. They are silly, goofy, and so much fun to talk to!
And this year, we have a new addition: Frankie the dog :)
I have been quite busy the last 4 weeks.
Weddings, families, bridals, couples, and lots of traveling. It’s been wonderful and I would love to share a little sneak peek with all of you while in the meantime…I edit all of these shoots :)

I was so excited when Cyndee asked me to take her family picture while they were in town from Arizona.
2 years had passed since I’d seen them last and I knew they would be fun to shoot. I can’t believe how much they’ve grown!
These kids had loads of energy, spunk, and kept me on my toes with their twirling, collecting snails, running in every direction on the playground, and making silly faces. We couldn’t have had more fun at Liberty Park!
PS Sorry there are so many pics….we did so many fun things that morning, it was super hard to narrow them down…. :)
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph the Young family.
These guys are actually my cousins! I haven’t seen most of them in YEARS so it was so great to see all of them & their families, as they have now grown exponentially with all their children :)
This crew had a week-long family reunion up Little Cottonwood Canyon, at Snowbird Ski Resort so I was lucky enough to take the scenic drive up the canyon to meet them on a beautiful summer evening. What a fun, amazing family (and I’m not just saying that because they’re my cousins ;) )
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph the Wood Family. They were celebrating 40 years of marriage and retirement. What a joyous occasion!
The little ones were troopers as it was quite a hot day and it was right before dinnertime, so a few of them were not too happy to be in the pictures. Despite a few tears during group shots, we got some great candids of each child. Don’t they all have incredible eyes?
This is Breanne and Riley‘s baby Porter, only 10 days old. He was born 5 weeks early so he is still super tiny. Porter love keeping his hands up by his face and still spends most of his days sleeping. Ah…newborns are so adorable!
This is Porter’s friend Arabelle (I think that’s her name) who came over to visit while I was photographing him. Isn’t she a doll?
I was thrilled when Amy called me to photograph her family. It had been a few years since I had photographed them and her boys were growing up fast. I hadn’t even met their newest, Sam, before.
Collin and William are now 4 and just as spunky and cute as ever. They helped me find great spots to take their picture. We found a ‘secret trail’ where they let me photograph them without the whole crew ;)
Amy’s family was also in town so we had a good sized group. What a fun bunch! It’s always fun to reconnect with old friends.
P.S. I’m curious. Do you like large vertical images? Or 2 vertical images side-by-side?
My nephew, James, had a spectacular birthday party a few weeks ago. Complete with ‘hot Diego’, transportation bingo, dancing, frosting cookies, and chocolate cupcakes. I am constantly in awe of my sister and all she does for her kids. I hope I can someday be as good of a mom as she is :)
For a lot of these shots, I was playing with my friends 85mm lens, which was a lot of fun. I think I’m gonna have to get me one of them awfully soon….
Hope you enjoy! It’s amazing to watch kids and see how they live, laugh & love. You can learn a lot from them.
You know how a little breeze can make your pictures more interesting? Well, we had more than just a little wind on the day we photographed this bunch. The sad thing is, we thought a storm was coming in the morning so we tried juggling when we started the session a few times only to have picked the coldest, windiest part of the day. Sigh….I guess you can’t count on weather forecasts, as awesome as our technology is these days. I definitely was impressed with how tough these 4 were despite the winter weather.
Regardless of the freezing wind, I had a wonderful time getting to know the Dessert family. We spent our time out at Day Break, mostly by the lake (or lack of lake in these winter months). I loved the scenery. It was my first time shooting out there and we were able to find lots of great backdrops for their family. I loved having them interact together to see how each of their relationships is special on-on-one as well as all together. Thanks guys!
