I don’t think waking up before the sun rises on a Saturday was what any of them had in mind. Or the freezing temperatures that come with an early November morning. But when Lindsey, Dan, and their five boys showed up, you couldn’t tell. Wrapped in blankets between sets, every smile came easily when the […]

I always love getting to know my clients a little bet before their session. Something that stood out to me in our conversations was that this was going to be their first family session in many years. For all the reasons we find to put off updating photos, she recognized that her boys were growing […]

The Thomson family knows how to have fun. From their ability to laugh with one another, make silly faces, and play together, their joy is contagious. From movies to pinball games (they have even more than I do!) to joke telling, you can always tell they’re laughing and finding new ways to have fun. I […]

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 […]

If you have been around here for very long, you’ll likely recognize a few smiles in this amazing family. I have had the pleasure to photograph Kristi and Tyson’s growing family multiple times since their oldest was born. Lauren and I explored Daybreak for her senior photos.

I love it when I get to photograph people who love having a good time. The ones who no matter what is happening, you’re all bound to have a good time. This was exactly how I felt photographing this stunning spring family session. As we know, spring in Utah can be unpredictable and this year […]

There’s nothing quite like the winter chill letting up and the spring sun warming the earth. Spring has always been a favorite of mine. What looked dead and dreary is now popping with color and new life. Naturally, photoshoots during the spring are among some of my favorites! Spending time with Drew & McKenna during […]

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 […]

I was so excited when Ellen reached out to me about photographing her family as they prepare to welcome their new addition! She is an absolute joy and her Murray Park maternity session will go down as one of my all time favorites! Ellen and I met years ago when she joined the symphony orchestra […]
