This family photography shoot was in July in Highland, Utah! I love their casual summery dresses, the mom’s dress was from Amazon if you are looking for what to wear ideas. Long flowy dresses always have a nice summery look. Both Mom and Dad did a great job having fun with their girls which made my job […]

Being a family photographer in Utah, I’ve done my fair share of extended families. It’s not a popular genre among photographers (cause they are looooots of work and there’s less time for creativity), but because I love the traditional family portrait, I love them! I’ve seen how a family portrait can bring a mom/grandma to […]

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….

One of my favorite families to photograph in a beautiful orchard.

The busy season is over, and it’s time to give my blog a little TLC.  Check out this session of a mom and tot at two of my favorite spots up the canyon.

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.

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.                          

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

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….
