You Do Not Have to Be Photogenic to Love Your Photos

Evening Portraits at the Daybreak Boardwalk

If you have been around here for a while, you might remember Devery’s session out at Saltair. It was such a fun experience that we decided to do it again, and I’m so glad we did. Portrait sessions are something I love, and photographing a friend I have known for years is a bonus. We […]

A Family of Six at Daybreak Lake | Utah Family Photography

Before this family was a family of six, it started with just two people who chose each other. That is what stood out to me most during this session at Daybreak Lake. The way the Evans couple laughed and leaned into each other set the tone for the whole evening. Their playfulness overflowed into their […]
