Tara and I high jumped together at Utah State University. She was better (and taller) than I am. I would argue that the high jumping group had the most fun! So many great memories and great friends like Tara. I have hung out with her and her kids before, but I was thankful to have another excuse to see them. I was so excited that they chose Antelope Island as the location for their family shoot. I had never shot there before and I had been dying to go. I love the simplicity and the gorgeous tones! I had a hard time narrowing down my favorites of this session, they are just a gorgeous family. And how cute are Keaton and Oaklyn together?!

Streeter Family + Tunnel Springs Park
I’m so in love with this family! Elena booked this session so she could send pictures to her husband who is currently deployed. I have so much respect for military families. I don’t know how they do it! This mamma is so strong and beautiful. During the session I was admiring how she interacts with her children and I’m convinced they are the most well behaved children ever! She’s doing so many things right. If we have another girl in the future, I just might have to name her Emma, because I absolutely fell in love with this Emma. I know all 3-year-olds are energetic, but I have never witnessed one run as much as she did. I’m convinced she got a few miles in! Aleks was such a good sport and so gentle with his sisters. And beautiful little Laura… those eyes! She was a little shy and not so sure about me when I got close, but she was so sweet! I hope you all enjoy this gorgeous family session as much as I did.
Wilson Family + American Fork Canyon
When I showed up to this session to meet Cortney and her family, they looked so familiar! We grew up in the same area. When you are from a small town, even if you have never formally met you have probably seen each other somewhere, or know lots of the same people. It’s so funny that way! I love this session so much! They were just a dream! Their little girl Aisley is the sweetest! She didn’t take any time at all to warm up to me and told me about school and all kinds of stories. Axton turns one today, so happiest birthday to you buddy! He was so good, and I loved watching him and his sister together. Thanks for inviting me to capture your gorgeous family Cortney and Kadin! I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with your family and getting to know you all!
Johnson Family + Orchard Session
This session is a special one for me because this is my brother-in-law and sister-in-law’s gorgeous family! They are always so much fun to hang out with and Zollinger’s Fruit and Tree Farm was the perfect place for their session. It was so gorgeous there that evening! I loved getting some playful shots with their kids, but the little inbetween moments when they cuddled up to their mom and dad are my favorite! As parents, I think we all hope they will never get too old to cuddle.
Walker Family + Saltair
I absolutely loved this family session! We had so much fun together! Val and I were in the Interior Design program at Utah State University together. We spent a lot of late nights working on projects. We both ended up completing our internships in NYC and lived together for the summer with 5 other girls in a tiny apartment. That summer was filled with so many fun memories, late nights and good food (I would kill for a Shake Shack concrete with truffle cookie dough right now)! So much has changed since then and I loved being able to catch up with her and meet her cute little family. Their little Gavin is just the cutest little thing! The camera loved him and he did so great even though we kept him up past his bedtime. It was fun to watch this sweet family just play together! The way they love each other really shined through.
Ware Family + Neffs Canyon
This family makes my heart happy! They instantly felt like old friends and their session flowed sooo easy. It felt more like we were just hanging out, and I love hanging out with my clients! My camera just loved little Sloane and now I do too. I mean, how can you not fall in love with her perfect little face?! It was fun to get a few shots of just Tyler and Krystal. They might be the cutest couple ever! I was dying behind my camera watching their loving kisses and giggles! Krystal is a very talented photographer, so I’m honored that she asked me to take photos of her gorgeous family.
Marshall + Sakoya – Formals & Bountiful Temple Wedding
These two cuties were married in the Bountiful temple on May 6th. The weather held out just long enough for us to finish photos after the temple sealing. We shot their formal session the night before. It was so fun and the weather was beautiful!Sakoya surprised Marshall with her gorgeous dress in some “first look” shots. We started at the temple and then moved to a gorgeous park with rolling green hills. The sunset and the breeze made it so romantic! Congratulations to the beautiful couple!

Brenna + Senior Session
Brenna has the cutest laugh! I can almost hear it when I look at the photos of her smiling. She is the kind of person that instantly makes you feel like a friend. We had so much fun at her senior session!
Calli + Senior Session
Meeting Calli was definitely one of the highlights of my week. Isn’t she a natural beauty? She is just the sweetest person too! Preparing to graduate from high school is such an exciting time! She told me all about the schools she has applied to and where she hopes to go. I can’t wait to see where this college adventure takes her! She is involved in student government and plays lacrosse, so she pretty much does it all. I loved spending time with this cute girl, it was such a fun senior session!

Behling Family + Orchard Session
I’m lucky enough to be related to this beautiful family. Hayden is my cousin and he grew up down the road from his beautiful wife Kelly. They are so cute together and hanging out with them always means lots of laughs. Aren’t their kids just the cutest? And little Ellys with her missing front teeth just topped it all off! This orchard was so pretty and full of gorgeous blossoms. It was the perfect location for them to let loose and have fun together.
