They were from different hometowns. Working in the same area while on service missions for their church. Later attending the same university upon their return. Seemingly unrelated decisions that gave them the opportunity to meet, get to know one another, and then later reconnect. How often do our choices (either big or small) stack on […]

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.

Growing up is great because you get to support each other in various activities. My favorite part so far, though, has been getting to know my cousins as adults! It’s so fun to […]

I remember spending countless evenings at their house throughout high school. Working on homework, school projects, and watching the latest episode of the Gilmore Girls (they had this new fancy thing called a DVR).
