The holidays are upon us which means parties, dinners, and gatherings. A time to get together with loved ones we see regularly, and the ones we see less often. It’s also a time when a camera or phone is likely to be pulled out to document the occasion. Whether it’s you behind the lens or […]

I grew up spending weekends and summers in gorgeous Hobble Creek Canyon. Camping at Jolley’s Ranch and playing in the river. Setting up tents, exploring in the woods, and cooking over the fire. It was so fun getting to meet there with Kristi and Tyson for their canyon fall family session. To be able to […]

What an AMAZING way to spend the last really warm day and prepare to really embrace the cooler weather!! I had the chance to photograph Jacob’s fall senior portraits last week at the beautiful Highland Glen park. I’ve known Jacob and his family for a few years and so it was an absolute joy and […]

I can’t believe it’s already the middle of October! It seems like this year has flown by. The storm this week has left a light dusting on the bright red and yellow trees dotting the mountains outside my window. Whether I am ready for it or not, the seasons are changing. When I was chatting […]

His little legs were tired of holding still. He was in a new environment and just wanted to explore. Why would he want to walk with his family when he could run? His dad asks him to come back. Try it a little slower this time. Then it happens. Dad crouches down to get on […]

I was so excited when Devery wanted to go to Saltair for her portrait session! At an hour’s drive each way I knew it wasn’t going to be exactly convenient for her, but I did know that it would be magical. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! As soon as I got […]

I’m so excited to share this family maternity session with you today! I’ve been looking forward to this session ever since this sweet mama emailed me. There’s something about getting to see families grow and change. Can you believe this big guy used to be this tiny baby? Even though this session was on a […]

When my brother was in high school he worked at Gandolfo’s as a sandwich maker extraordinaire. It was always fun to visit him and grab one of his perfectly crafted hoagies. However, my favorite, hands down, was when he would bring home a piece of silky mousse chocolate cake or a giant pickle. You know […]
