I absolutely adore this little family, and probably because I adored the beautiful mom first! She’s one of my best friends from clear back in jr. high! We were complete nerds and were 100% ok with it!! We loved science, piano, singing, and all the same people. It was the best group of friends…

Where do I start with this adorable little family?! I just have so many things to say!! But we’ll talk about how incredibly UNPREDICTABLE little kids are. You never know what they’re going to do, how they’re going to behave, you can’t make them smile if they don’t want to or force them into any pose because, chances are, if you do, you’ll get photos of a kid screaming their brains out!

When we’re in high school, sometimes we make lifetime friends, sometimes we just know their friendly faces, and sometimes friends go separate ways through life’s different adventures — which is what happened with me and Geo. But through the furthering of social media technology, we have the ability to reconnect with the wonderful people from our pasts!

I have absolutely loved working with the Peterson family and it was such a treat to be able to photograph their extended family session again this year down in Southern Utah at the beautiful Snow Canyon state park! Last year we took their family photos in a huge green field so it was really fun to switch everything up entirely!

With all the blossoms in full bloom at the Utah State Capitol, it was time for some beautiful spring family photos for my best friend Jacci! I love her and her family so so much! It has been such a joy to go back through all my galleries to see all the different milestones I’ve been able to document for her cute little family. It seems like just yesterday I was…

I remember when I had my baby girl just a little over a year ago, I had the hardest time deciding between doing birth photography or a fresh 48 session. A session where the photographer comes in to photograph a piece of those first two days as a family. But after lots of thinking and praying…

When we first got to the Utah State Capitol for our spring blossoms family session, it was early in the morning, and for a good reason too! It’s near impossible to get any shots like this in the evening because of all the people that are there walking around and picture taking! But because it was early…
