I’m a family photographer, but when one of your best friends has a daughter getting married, you make an exception.  The nature-setting was perfect for this beautiful bride-to-be.

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.

Aspens, mountain views, wild flowers and a ton of green makes this one of my new favorite spots.  It was gorgeous this spring, and I can’t wait to go there when the leaves start changing.  It’s never too early to start booking for those busy fall photography months. Scroll down to see a newly engaged couple in […]

This kid is someone to look up to in more ways than one. It was hard to get all of him in the frame as I believe he’s about 6’6″!  I couldn’t help myself at the end of the shoot putting him next to a tree:)  I love that pic.  I got to know Braden a few years […]

Here is one of my latest family sessions. A beautiful family, sun-lit trees, and a lilac bush.

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 […]

Here is a shoot from one of my new favorite spots.

Another session from a beautiful Orchard.

It’s fall and that means it’s family photo time.  In an effort to catch up, here is a little glimpse of what I’ve been “shooting” this summer.

These is my new favorite location I just discovered this year.  I love the trail, and the lush green background which is hard to come by in this dry climate.  It’ll likely start to dry out at the end of the summer, but its just beautiful in May and June.  Here are some from one […]

Here is my last shoot from the poppies until next year…

Poppies.

I always love visiting the Poppy field this time of year.  And I love age two, it’s one of my favorite times of life to capture.                          

This is one of my new favorite ages to photograph. You can see why.  If you want an orchard blossom shoot, April is the month.

Found this awesome new spot last week. The don’t-hug-me look.  Love this one.

 These images were on my Facebook page months ago, but they are better late than never on the blog.  I love how this session turned out.  First the urban style, and then we finished up with some classic images.  Such a stylish couple.

This wee-one was a little older than I typically photograph newborns so I took more shots like these. This one was my favorite.

I loved shooting here!  The ducks were just what I needed to keep their little cutie entertained.  Grateful I’ve been able to take their pictures the last three years….  

Finally posting some of my fall family shoots….this was a gloomy day, but the colors were oh, so pretty.

It’s so important to take pictures in the hospital.  I think it’s such an amazing time, meeting the newest member of the family and just concentrating on bonding before you go home.  Once you leave, real life sets in with all it’s things-to-do, errands, laundry, work, etc.  There’s nothing like being in the hospital with […]
