This was a fantastic evening for family photos with Lindsay and her beautiful little family.  Lindsay invited some special family members to assist with their session… Grandma & Grandpa.  It was the perfect, magical combination. 🙂  Little Jamie, who is celebrating his first birthday, was smiles all evening long and I just couldn’t help myself.  With camera in hand, I snapped far too many cute shots for my own good and then I had the task of choosing from those hundreds… I was smiling all the way.  This session is a beautiful success; one I’d want myself.  Love that cozy, evening light and Lindsay, your clothing choices were fantastic… perfect for the location.  Hope you love your session as much as I do.  You have a beautiful family!

Family photography can be hard work at times but the results are always well worth the effort.  I got to spend the evening with Mark & Rachel and their two little sweethearts.  Sweetest family ever!  Big sister wasn’t too interested in hanging around the camera but like I told Rachel… all it takes is a few magical moments when little ones forget that the camera is pointed in their direction and all of a sudden you’ve got a handful of vibrant, tender expressions that makes my ‘mom’ heart just melt.  I always know that when I want the images I shoot (but of my own kids), it’s pretty likely that my dear, sweet clients will love them just as much!  Enjoy Mark & Rachel’s session and feel free to leave a comment or two. 🙂

Loved this family session with the Larsens.  They were brave and ambitious enough to wake up before the rest of the world and be ready for the camera by sunrise! 🙂 Wow, what troopers! Well, it was a blast and it paid off.  Their two little sweethearts (both with the most beautiful eyes) were darling. The lighting on the lake was beautiful and even.  How could you not get great shots!?  And, Christa, I am now officially in love with the salmon, cream and blue color palette. 🙂 LOVED your clothing choices… you have a great set of photos.  Enjoy!

Robyn and her family are regular clients and I have an idea that Robyn loves photos just as much as I do.  So, put on your goggles, there are a lot of pics in this post! 😉 Robyn is one darling lady and it is always so fun to get together and capture the family all together.  Scott and Colby… you are both so sweet with the boys.  Loved that!  Robyn and Scott never had engagement photos done when they were married and I’m so glad that Robyn contacted me to fill that spot for her and Scott.  They are certainly very much in love and so fun to photograph… especially with those fantastic heels… Robyn! 🙂 You can see Robyn’s other sessions here, here and here.  Enjoy!

Oh sweet, 5 pound, newborn Mason with all that darling dark hair!  What a champ!  Shooting newborn photographs with Kallea and Mason just couldn’t have gone better.  Kallea has wonderful extended family with some fun property that has a heap of fantastic photography props and spots.  I’m just a little jealous ;)… although, we were able to utilize some of it and I loved every minute of it!  Mason’s little nursery has a farm theme and so the hay and brick and fields fit the theme nicely.  Then there was little Mason, such a sweetheart boy.  He was fast asleep and easy as could be to pose and photograph… really couldn’t have gone any better.  Kallea, thanks again for a fun afternoon and enjoy all we captured! 🙂

Family photography with the Starley family just couldn’t get any better.  They are the kind of family that once you spend an hour or two with them, you walk away feeling like you must have known them forever.  Stacey is an amazing portrait artist and her three little sweethearts are so lucky to have her as their mom.  Nathan is practicing dentistry in the Ogden area and together they have these three darling, little girls… I think my camera loves each one of them and their beautiful eyes… 🙂 Nate and Stacey, thanks for a fun morning with the family and I hope you enjoy what we captured!

This newborn sessions was so fun! Jan had delivered her baby just shy of two weeks when we got together to photograph her newborn, Samuel, and the family.  From the moment I walked in, I couldn’t believe how beautiful Jan looked.  Wouldn’t you all just agree, she is a beautiful mom…. inside and out!  I have the best clients.  Jan was so easy to hang out with; it was like chatting with a dear friend.  Sweet big brother, on the other hand, was out of sorts that day and wouldn’t have much of a conversation with me or my camera 🙂 …. ahhhh, I could just swim in his big, beautiful, blue eyes though.  I’m glad that I got just a handful with you, Max.  I have an idea that someday soon, little Sam and Max will be inseparable little buddies!  LOVED this family!!! LOVED his newborn photos!!!  Enjoy!

Jaycee is turning eight!  Wahoo!  Such a fun age and milestone as she prepares for her baptism.  The morning we met to photograph Jaycee turned out cloudy and a bit different than what we were expecting but we just ran with it and the results are unbeatable.  I’m so pleased with the morning and lighting and my sweet, young friend did such a great job in front of the camera.  Jaycee, you are such a FUN gal!  You are brimming with life and your personality is so fantastic and vibrant.  Loved your session!  Thanks for a great morning and a lot of super fun photography.  Enjoy and congratulations! 🙂
