I have taken this family’s photos for three years now! Returning clients are the best! It’s so fun to watch their kids grow up and I always look forward to seeing them. Their kids are so sweet and they are SO easy to photograph. The whole family is just so fun! This was a new location for me and apparently we chose a VERY busy night to shoot there, but it ended up being gorgeous! Look at that pretty fall lighting! Jordan is always the sweetest and brings a cute little gift and makes me feel so appreciated. Thanks again Anderson family!

Anderson Family + Fall Mini Session
The Anderson family did a fall mini session with me last year as well! I love anytime I get to hang out with them, it’s just a nice bonus that they are also very photogenic. Their boys are the best of friends and I always enjoy watching them interact with each other. They are so fun and cute! Thanks for having me again Anderson family!

I’m so flattered that families from my hometown have been traveling here for their sessions with me! This family just had their brother Bowdie (far right) return from his mission two weeks ago, so it was so fun to see them together again! This family has a special place in my heart. Four years ago they lost their mom and little brother in a car accident. It was so devastating for them and heartbreaking for our little community. They could have used that as an excuse not to get family photos done, but they didn’t. Their mom would be so proud of them for making this happen. It has made me realize I need to make sure I still get family photos with my dad and brothers. Thanks so much Jacobson family, I had a great time with you!

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!

Kjirstyn is my husband’s cousin and she is so great! I was beyond flattered when her and her gorgeous family drove all the way from Idaho Falls just to take family photos with me. I mean, who does that? I love them for it! Their session went so well and I had a great time with their sweet kids! Kjirstyn is a smart mom and waited to dress her little boy until they got to the location. He hops out of the car, freshly dressed, and trips face first in the dirty parking lot right on a grease spot! It was just so typical of life as a mom I had to laugh. I swear you can do all the planning and preparation you want for family photos and kids will find some way to try and mess it up! That’s why my best advice to parents on picture day is to just roll with whatever comes their way. Thanks again Welch family! Love ya!
Hancey Family + Brighton
The summer after my husband John and I got married, he felt that doing summer sales was the right thing for us. Neither of us were too sure about it, but we packed up and drove to Arkansas anyway. It was not a very successful summer as far as sales went, but we met wonderful people! John still says to this day, the only reason we were supposed to go was to meet Nick and Lauren. Actually, we all lived in Logan, Utah at the time but didn’t meet until we were in Arkansas where Nick and Lauren were also doing summer sales. That has always seemed so funny to me. We love anytime we get to hang out with them! While we were at their house on Sunday for dinner, Lauren saw their family photos for the first time. I have never been with a client/friend to see their first reaction when they open their photo gallery, and it was so fun! She was so excited (her enthusiastic reactions are actually one of my favorite things about her)! Anyways, we love the Hancey’s and I’m so grateful they asked me to take their family photos. I love how they turned out!
Jensen Family + Desert Session
Jeremiah is my second cousin and our families used to go camping together when I was younger. Not sure why we stopped because it was always so fun! It’s exciting when everyone starts their own families, but the downside is that it gets so big we gradually stop seeing our extended family as often. I was excited when his wife Melissa contacted me about a family session because it gave me a chance to catch up with them and to see their kids. I can’t believe how old they are! They look so grown up. Jeremiah picked out this location and it was perfect! He had gone here growing up and I’m so glad he suggested it. Basically they made my job super easy and I love the results!
Brian Family + Memory Grove Park
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!
Fall Lovin’ + Personal Post
I got a little behind on editing my personal work. I finally caught up and thought I would share some of my favorites from this fall. Man, this family of mine is cute!
Behunin Family + Temple Quarry Trail
It’s funny to me that meeting new people is one of my favorite parts of photography, because I’m actually an introvert and naturally pretty shy. I’m grateful that it pushes me out of my comfort zone and I get to meet wonderful people like the Behunins. Their kids are so cute! I love seeing their little personalities come out in front of my camera. They recently moved back to Utah and I’m lucky they chose me to take some new family photos for them. They came to my fall mini sessions and the weather was perfect with the most gorgeous fall colors! Welcome back to Utah Behunin Family!
