I’m loving this…wish I could include the giggle sound that went with it. 

He is such a handsome little guy.

See ya later! 

In all honesty, I really didn’t think this session was going to happen.  Driving up to Park City, it started pouring.  Not just sprinkles (I’m not afraid of a few sprinkles!), we’re talking an inch of standing water on the freeway, raining.  Lightning kept flashing and with every rumble of thunder, I was a little more disappointed that this session was going to have to be called off.  I just kept driving, trying to think of places we could hide under for some pictures if necessary…Fast forward to 15 minutes later, you would have never known there was even a storm!  Blue skies, mild perfect temperatures and a whole lot of grateful people!  So glad we were able to shoot that day!

Big thanks to the Trombley’s, it was so great to see you again! Click on View Full Post to see my favs from the session!

They are such a sweet, genuine family…full of love and laughter.  I always feel right at home visiting them….and always leave thinking that  I should probably move to Idaho! 

Hope you guys enjoy your pictures, can’t wait to see you all again!

The cute mama in this family and  I go way back…spending a lot of time together as teenagers, and is someone I will always consider a friend!  Another thing I love about doing what I do is that it gives old friends and I a reason to get together!

It was so great seeing Lisa and her cute little family…Her little boy was so serious, I couldn’t crack him!  Glad I was able to catch him in a few moments of joy with his parents…those times are what life is all about!

Her little (big) family was so much fun, kept me laughing, and although I can’t prove it, I’m pretty sure I was given bunny ears behind my head at least 100 times during the course of the session. 

So Nan, thanks for the chance to photograph your beautiful family, and I hope you like your sneak peek!  I’ll be in touch with the rest of your images!

The whole beautiful family:

And the kids…beautiful girls and handsome boys…what more could you want?

And check out this little heart-breaker…look at those eyes!!

His smile is just as charming

Mama and her cute boys:

And I told you they were fun…here’s some proof. 

I also have to admit I have a soft spot for this adorable family..the dad grew up across the street from my husband, and is also good friends with my brother, so I’ve known him for years and years, and it’s been great getting to know Aubrey better and better since we’ve been working together…they are just a sweet, genuine family that loves each other and loves to have fun together..my kind of people!

And….I’m done babbling!  Click on Full Post for a few of my favorites from their session!

We had so much fun wandering around Wheeler Farm on an absolutely beautiful night and this family was just so cute…both willing to do anything to get their little guy to laugh, and I get the feeling there’s a lot of laughing going on in their home, and that makes me smile!  E was such a sweet little guy who loves sneezes, blocks, Leo the Lion and really *loves* his blankie.

Something a little different that shows a little bit into how I take the portraits of the cute little ones…It’s all about the conversation!  I never ask for a smile…get those kiddos talking and their real personality can be captured, complete with genuine smiles and the twinkle in their eyes…Here are some before and after shots:

This first one came from talking about a certain girl in school that just might be cute and has blonde hair:

This is where I first heard about Mr. Muddy Nips, whom she is destined to marry:

And the little guy, showing me his gun-shooting skills:

Kids make me smile, how about you? 

Mom and Dad didn’t need as much help looking great for me:

A big thanks to the Anderson family, it was great to meet you!

And a few of my favorite pictures from the session…Cindy told me that it has been ages since she had some good pictures of herself with her children…As photographers (or mothers, or fathers for that matter), it’s not often we get pictures of ourselves with our children, and that needs to change…get out from behind that camera!

Thanks again to Cindy and her beautiful family for sticking it out for at least a little while in the yucky weather, it was great to meet you all!

To the Rodriguez family, I’m so glad I got the opportunity to capture your family, thanks for all of the laughs!

Also, a quick reminder about our Urban Portrait Party set for May 29th…The times are filling up, so contact us today if you’d like to reserve a spot!  801-244-2778

Check out the rest of their session after the break!

I met with the Crandall family on a beautiful afternoon up at Mueller Park, and we definitely lucked out with nice weather with all of the crazy weather that’s been going on around these parts!  We had such a great time, Mom and Dad were full of jokes, the kids were hilarious and the grand kids were just beautiful!  I feel so honored to have captured these family portraits for them, as they haven’t had a whole family portrait in over 15 years!  I’m a huge advocate of getting regular family pictures, my own are so priceless to me, and I hope these end up that way for the Crandall family!

We met the other night for a quick session in downtown Salt Lake on an absolutely gorgeous evening…Such cute parents, so happy and so in love with their little guy, it always warms my heart to see!

So a big thanks to the Jessen family, I had such a great time laughing with you and capturing your little family just as I saw it:  happy, fun and full of love!

I have to say one of my very favorite things about being a photographer is getting the chance to meet so many people that I probably would have never come across had I chosen to do something else…like this cute little family!

And oh yeah, did I mention that mama is GORGEOUS?  Seriously.

On another note, I just wanted to thank everyone SO much for all of the wonderful support I have received as I start with Sprout!  It makes my heart happy to see all of the nice things you have to say!  I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.

Here are a few pictures from your session, Lindsey…It was such a pleasure photographing you and your beautiful family!

So excited to get my first post up on the blog, and I couldn’t ask for a better family to share!  We have been planning this session for a while, and I’m so happy with how everything turned out!  Mama wasn’t planning on being in the pictures, but due to a pretty persistently shy baby girl, she got to join in on the fun, and I’m so glad she did…Every mom need some pictures with her babes!
