Standing Family 2019

Posted by Stephanie On October 11, 2019

I met a wonderful family the other day, and had the privilege of spending the evening with them and capturing a very special time of their lives. Edward, one of their awesome sons was leaving on a mission a few days later and they wanted to make sure they captured the special time before he left.

What a wonderful family they are! Loving, sweetly sarcastic, respectful and encouraging of one another. It’s because of families like the Standing family that I spend time away from mine during this busy time of year. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to spend an evening with you! What wonderful people you are!

Zach is going on a Mission!

Posted by Stephanie On September 14, 2018

What a pleasure it has been in the past year and a half to photograph and get to know (as much as you can through photography sessions) this handsome young man! It all started with Zach’s Senior portraits at the end of last school year, then we took his family portraits, and then we photographed the Wayment family (his mother’s side, and then the large England family. (his father’s side).. and now we’ve come full circle back to Zach and his missionary portraits! What I have learned about him is that he is kind to others, honors his parents, courteous, considerate, shy, humble, driven, and obediant, and because of those traits will be a wonderful missionary! Zach also loves being in front of the camera! Ok that last part is not true… but obviously he is good at it, because they look awesome! Zach our prayers will be with you, have a wonderful mission!

Bucks Couldn’t Be Anymore Beautiful!

Posted by Stephanie On June 21, 2018

A couple weeks ago I did a photo-shoot with my family and was able to take the images of my sister Becca’s family and all of her kids. They all turned out so good. The Ogden Botanical Garden’s has so many beautiful hidden little places to photograph, but really it’s good light that matters, and there is plenty of that too, (and it helps a bit that I bring some along with me!) I love photographing children, but I think it’s so special to take images of my nieces and nephews and watch them grow. Such beautiful kids! Thanks for having me to do again Bucks, they look so great!

Englands at the Botanical Gardens

Posted by Stephanie On June 14, 2017

About a month ago I went to the Ogden Botanical Gardens with Allison England and her son Zach and photographed his senior images. Last week I was able to take beautiful photos of their family once again at the Ogden Botanical gardens. We had to postpone a couple of times, but it finally stopped being windy and stormy for a few days and we were able to get some wonderful images. Until next time England family! I had a great time, and your family is just simply delightful! Enjoy!

Jessica and Caesar

Last week I was able to finally meet Caesar and Jessica, a very sweet couple whose wedding I will have the pleasure of Photographing in June. We went to the Ogden Botanical gardens for a nice engagement shoot. About three hours later we left exhausted, and very excited about the beautiful images we were able to create. Thank you so much Jessica for letting me be a part of this wonderful celebration!
