Mountain Wildflowers | Cable Family

Mountain Wildflowers | Cable Family

The wildflowers lasted just long enough for this beautiful family’s very first family photos. Yes, first family photos… ever! They have never hired a photographer and had professional family photos taken. I was so honored to be the one to capture these for them! They are such a fun family and I had a great time in the beautiful mountains with them! Hopefully I didn’t scare them off and they will make family photos a regular thing. Anyone else out there need your first family photos taken? I’m your girl! Thanks again Cable Family! It was so nice to meet all of you.

Kid’s Studio Portraits | Bendixen Girls

I met the Bendixen family at our church 5 years ago. Since then, they have added two more beautiful girls to their family! They moved this week and I will definitely miss seeing them! The littlest one, Willa is about my baby Will’s age, so I think they might be meant to be! Will and Willa… so cute haha! I was glad I got to photograph them, they are such a beautiful group of girls! Thanks Bendixen’s and good luck with the move!

Tunnel Springs | Labrum Family

Tunnel Springs | Labrum Family

The Labrum family attends my church, and they are so sweet! Their oldest is leaving on his mission soon, so we will be doing mission pictures for him shortly as well. Little Brinley is so fun and full of energy. Remember if you have little ones, they are going to run the show and that’s ok. I love capturing their personalities just as they are. You may not get the perfect shot of everyone smiling, and that’s ok. The important thing is that you got everyone in the photo. You will still loves them years down the road and they will help you remember what this stage was like. Thanks for having me Labrum Family!

Tea with the Bride to Be | Bailey

Every detail of this tea-themed bridal shower was so dreamy! The Maid of Honor really knocked it out of the park. The gorgeous flowers were designed by a friend of the bride and you can see more of her work at Happy by Margaret Peterson. The food was incredible and beautiful! It was provided by Honey Teahive Co. and you have to check her out! The whole event was so thoughtful and there was even a surprise visit from Bailey’s fiancé! Congratulations Bailey, you will be such a beautiful bride!

Ian has been playing baseball since he was tiny and now he has received a baseball scholarship! It only seemed fitting to include it in his senior session. I love how it turned out and it was so fun to shoot on the field. After the photos on the baseball field, Ian made a quick outfit change and we got a totally different look at the park nearby! Thanks for having me, best of luck Ian!!!

Backyard Session | Eyring Family

Backyard Family Session | Eyring Family

This backyard mother and daughter session was a dream! I took SO many photos and I have lots of favorites! I photographed little Elle when I was doing modern school portraits and it was so fun to see her again. These sisters are so sweet and I can’t get over little Vivi’s cheeks! As beautiful as they are on the inside, they have even more beautiful souls! Watching Mary mother her children was so touching. She is gentle, patient and loving. Motherhood fits her so well! Thanks for having me Eyring family!

I’d LOVE to photograph your family! Please contact me to book and you can see more of my recent work on Instagram.

Utah Family Session | Streeter Family

Utah Family Session | Streeter Family

I have had the privilege of photographing the Streeter family for several years now. I always love when I get to see them. It’s been so fun to watch their family grow! When this session was originally scheduled lsat year, it was meant to be a lifestyle newborn session. Sweet little Peter had a bit of a rough entry into this world and had to stay in the NICU for a bit. I’m so glad he’s doing well and we were able to make these pictures happen with their new addition. They are such a beautiful family! Thanks again Streeter family.
