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?!

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.

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.
