If you’ve been around here for a few months you’ll remember the gorgeous maternity session with Ellen and Craig in Murray Park. Their darling baby girl came, arriving with plenty of fanfare and excitement. I am fortunate enough to have been invited into their home for their dreamy lifestyle newborn session. Their sweet dogs and […]

If you’ve been around here for a few years, you’ll remember when I photographed Rachel and Justin’s engagement session. They are such a fun couple and are some of my favorite images I’ve ever captured. I was thrilled when Rachel reached out to let me know that they were both graduating from BYU. We met […]

You put thought into choosing a photographer, planning your session, and selecting images you love. Printing those photos is the final step in making sure they can be enjoyed for years to come.

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 […]
