I can’t get over how fun this family is! I took some extended family photos for this family a couple years ago. Time flies and their kids are looking so grown up! They traveled all the way from Emery County for this fall session, and I’m so grateful. Even though it was a little chilly and they had a long drive to the location, everyone was in such a great mood and the kids were adorable! Their giggles and cuddles made for such cute photos full of personality. Thanks so much Player family!

Johnson Family + Tunnel Springs Park
James is my husband’s brother. If you already know my husband, then I probably didn’t have to tell you that. They get mistaken for each other all the time! I love his wife Shawn, she’s so fun! I’m not sure how I got such amazing sister-in-laws, but they are honestly all incredible! This is my third year taking James and Shawn’s family photos, and I always have so much fun at their sessions! I wasn’t sure the weather was going to cooperate, but I’m SO glad we didn’t cancel. I have shot many sessions at Tunnel Springs, but this was definitely the prettiest I have ever seen it! Those stormy… Keep Reading
Southwick Family + Tibble Fork Reservoir
When Jessica first emailed me, I didn’t realize I already knew her. Her married name threw me off! We went to high school together and her older brother was a good friend of mine. I love reconnecting with old friends and meeting their families! Her husband Jordan is so sweet with his little girls, I loved watching them interact. Sadie and Sophie were honestly angels the entire session! I’m convinced 8-10 months is the perfect age for family photos with babies. And beautiful Jessica… she is so kind and must be one strong mama to be blessed with twins. I had such a great time at this session. This family… Keep Reading
Behling Family
This is my Aunt Jacki and Uncle Tracy and their kids and grandkids. Look at how cute they all are together! It was really fun for me to take these photos for them. It’s always a good time when we all get together. Jacki is grandma of the year! Every year she does “Cousin Camp” where all her grandkids come stay at her house for a week full of fun activities! She’s amazing! She even includes my girls because she’s so sweet and thoughtful like that. She goes ALL OUT and they look forward to it every year. So many of my own childhood memories were sleepovers at her house and… Keep Reading
The Hurst Family + Cleveland Utah
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… Keep Reading
Strang Family + Raleigh North Carolina Family Session
This family has my heart! Joanna is my sister-in-law and she has the sweetest family! They used to live close to us, but last year they moved to North Carolina. We were recently able to visit them and it was so fun! We loved being able to spend time with them. I’m so glad I was able to get in a family session while I was there. We went to a local Arboretum and it was so beautiful! Thanks Strang family! Love ya!
Jace + Lifestyle Newborn Session
I love including the entire family in a newborn session, especially when I get to photograph them in their own home! Adding a baby to family creates an entirely new dynamic and capturing that is so special. My hope is that the Sullivan family can look back at these and remember little details that otherwise would have been forgotten. Thanks for inviting me into your home during this special time in your lives!
Mother’s Day
Had a quiet day at home with my family and I think it was just what we needed. Mother’s Day is kind of a bummer for me because I just wish I could celebrate it with my mom and spoil her. I’d love to have one more day with her! On the other hand, I’m incredibly lucky to be a mother to these two precious girls. They are pure magic! I was in awe watching them play in the yard this evening. (Earlier in the day, when they were running away from me during church, I was watching in a completely different kind of awe.) Hope you all enjoyed your… Keep Reading
One Year Ago
One year ago today I followed through with a very big decision. It’s weird because even though it was a huge huge decision, at the same time it was very simple. I had a prophylactic double mastectomy. In case you don’t know, that is an elective operation to remove the breasts so that the risk of breast cancer is reduced. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 10. She was only 34 years old. She underwent several surgeries including a double mastectomy and reconstruction. After all her treatments she was declared cancer free. 14 years later, she had a recurrence in her lung. It spread from there to… Keep Reading
Martin Family + Memory Grove Park
The Martin family was so sweet! Their beautiful little Serena was so laid back and relaxed during their session. I was completely shocked! Usually at her age, they just want to crawl away and do anything but pose for the camera. Courtni and Kade make such a cute couple and their interactions were so sweet! I could tell they just adore their baby girl. Here are some of my favorites from their session. Thanks Martin family!
