Families like the Gonzales family are wonderful to work with.  So down to earth… just such good people and beautiful too.  The Gonzales family just finished building their new home and have a lovely, little, private park just behind their home. Perfect for their family session!  I do believe that each of the girls are fully charmed by their new little brother, Parker.  I have to admit, those big brown eyes and that beautiful little face is hard to resist!  The evening light was easy and beautiful to shoot in and we even snuck in a few candid poses there at the end.  Such a beautiful session and family! Enjoy!

Family photography sessions at the beach are fast becoming a favorite.  The Cheal family did an fantastic job of choosing clothing that fit their location and it adds everything to their final images.  I couldn’t be happier with the results!  Each member of the family really has their own look and no one matches another, yet the whole family coordinates beautifully! It’s a lovely little session and one I’d love to have with my own fam. To the Cheals, fantastic job in front of the camera.  I loved every minute of this evening with you.  What a great little spot! Thank you again for inviting me to photograph your gorgeous family. Enjoy!

Just a quick peek into tonight’s session. I could not help myself. This little gal steals my heart!

Richard & Taty’s maternity session is a new favorite of mine. I LOVED photographing Taty because she is such a dear friend of mine but even more than photographing her was watching her and her husband, Richard.  In my eyes, Taty has an amazing life story.  It is full of mountains she has climbed and now I feel like she has reached her beautiful view.  Her man obviously CHERISHES her to pieces… my heart is bursting just to put those words on paper.  This woman is one of the sweetest you will EVER meet.  She deserves a wonderful man! She is expecting a beautiful little baby, a wonderful blessing I think she wondered if she would ever get to have again.  Each time I’ve opened her session, my heart has been overwhelmed with happiness for my beautiful friend who is so obviously happy and content.  Her joy has brought me an immense amount of happiness!!!  Thank you Taty, you dear woman, and enjoy what we captured!

Meet Katherine.  A beautiful woman, mother, bride AND my cousin.  Love this lady! We met at the State Capital for some bridal images of Katherine and a few images with her darling girls to remember this beautiful occasion, Katherine’s wedding.  What a treat!  Working with all these beautiful ladies was a dream.  Each so beautiful and each with just a piece of their beautiful mom written somewhere in their countenance.  I loved every minute of our time together and hope that you find many to love as well, Katherine.  Your girls are amazing and beautiful and so wonderfully lucky to have you as their mom.  Thank you for allowing me to capture these beautiful moments for you.  Enjoy!

Newborns photos with Brad & Kim and their newest little guy were such a treat.  Liam was not quite a week old and so we were able to capture him in some great sleepy moments.  Love those little hands and noses.  LOVED getting to hold this little guy.  There is NOTHING quite like a newborn.  They’re just so fresh and perfect.  Irresistible for sure!  Time just has a way of slowing down when you hold a newborn. Brad & Kim, thank you for welcoming me into your home and allowing me to share a little piece of heaven with you and your little guy.  He is beautiful!  You two are going to be fantastic parents.  Enjoy!

So fun to spend the afternoon with Nick, class of 2013, shooting his senior pictures in downtown Ogden.  Nick’s only got a few days left of high school and then he’s off to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Saints for 2 years.  Anyone who knows Nick, knows what a great guy he is and what a great support and family he has.  He will do great things, I am sure!!  Best luck and huge congrats on your graduation Nick. Stellar job in front of the lens as well!

LOVE this darling, engaged couple! LOVE their engagement session! MANY more to come.

Hanna is my darling, ‘all grown up’ neighbor and she is graduating… that’s right Class of 2013 Senior!  I’m so pleased to show off a few of Hanna’s senior photos here.  She is such a beautiful gal through and through and I absolutely love her dear family. We met one evening to photograph Hanna and had a great time!  We ended the evening on the mountain side doing some sports shots because Hanna is not only darling, she’s got skills… totally athletic.  Ummmm, jealous! Yep, can’t throw a softball straight to save my life. 😉 Anyway, we froze in that final little location but it gave us some really fun images and lots of great variety.  Hanna… you are an absolute doll.  I wish nothing but the best for you!  Enjoy!

I loved photographing little Ava… who was as angelic as they come for her newborn session.  Not even ten days old, little Ava was sleepy and pleasant as could be.  Miriam contacted me the moment she got home from the hospital and we began planning.  She missed that super sleepy stage with her first little one and was determined to catch this little window of opportunity to have Ava captured with the rest of the family.  We settled on touches of vintage and lace in pinks and teals and I am so pleased with the results.  Miriam’s living room had just the right amount of light and once we were all set up and had a cozy little heater blowing toward Ava, the rest was smooth sailing.  Love giving beautiful images to my wonderful clients.  New ones are only this size for such a brief period.  There is just something so beautiful, real and innocent in a session like this and I LOVE IT!!  Ava, her sister and her momma are just gorgeous.  Enjoy!
