My photography business grew from a desire to learn how to take professional portraits of my kids, while also capturing the cute and sweet moments of their childhood. Their portraits and candid images are such a treasure to me now which is why my photography style has evolved into what it is today - family portraits with candid moments mixed in to capture personalities and family relationships

This spot is always a favorite location of mine in the spring.  I love how this family didn’t match too much, and added lots of layers and texture to their ensamble.

I found an awesome spot for winter sessions since Tibblefork is closed this year.  I love winter sessions, they are a little bit different from the usual Fall sessions.  If you dress warm enough, they are a really fun time.

As summer comes to a close, I thought I’d end with a personal post for those of you that don’t know me. My name is Lexi, I’m a 35 yr old, mom of four, photographer, and as of June of this year I’d never ridden in an RV.  My kids were insanely jealous of my […]

It can be stressful coordinating schedules for extended family photos, but they are so worth it.  What a treasure for Grandma and Grandpa to have a picture with all their kids and grandkids together.  I was lucky the rain decided to let up the minute I met this family in the parking lot and that they […]

It was a privilege to spend some time with this family.  I’ve added pre-shoot consult forms to my business this year and it’s been really helpful for me to make sure I get the images my clients want while shooting, not to mention it’s a time-saver too.  This client wanted to remember the fun she and […]

The last few years we’ve gone to Provo for the Balloon Festival which is part of the freedom festival. We somehow luck out and only go on the days that the balloons are allowed to take off (knock on wood).  It’s so memorable for the kids it makes getting up at 5am worth it.  Here is […]

This is one of my favorite places to be and also to shoot.  These wild poppies are almost incredible as the pioneer woman that planted them.

All the green in additional to the snow capped mountains makes this place pretty magical.  I like taking photos for big families, which is pretty uncommon for photographers.  It’s fun because there is always something going on, always a moment to capture.  Here is my latest….

I would love to do more hospital family sessions!  This one was SO fun.   It’s a great time to photograph the new family before the stress of real-life sets in at home, and having all the bonding between baby and family captured will be a treasure for years to come.

Do you have a big family?  Well then, I want to take your pictures. I love sessions with large families which is pretty unique for most photographers. There are so many things going on so there’s always something to document. Check out one of  my latest with this family of eight.

If you don’t mind a somewhat difficult hike, Lake Blanche is worth the trip.  My hubbs and I took half of a day to do this hike.  It was no problem for him, but there may have been a lot of huffing and puffing from me. The the view at the top was spectacular.

When I first got into photography, I avoided harsh light pretty much all the time.  It’s a safe way to learn, but I decided I think I know enough to start breaking the rules.  So I just recently decided to get outside my comfort zone and start experimenting with harsh-light.  I haven’t loved all of […]

A little while ago I headed to a nearby Christmas Tree farm about three hours before sunset.  It wasn’t my favorite time of day, but it was the ONLY time of day that worked.  At least there was a bit of cloud cover which helped. So here’s to a balmy late-November photoshoot in Utah, with […]
