Bradford’s 2022

Posted by Stephanie On October 4, 2022

For the first 17 years of our married life we lived in the same home in East Layton. One of the families that we became friends with when we moved in was the Bradfords. She became the ward choir pianist when I was the director, and is so talented we sang pieces she wrote. My oldest was born just a months after her youngest so it was fun to have kids close in age. Since they moved we she became my Mary Kay lady (to make sure I see her every so often,) and we even went to Garth Brooks together a couple months ago. Such wonderful people, and so photogenic!! We are so grateful they are our friends!

Here’s My Family

Posted by Stephanie On November 17, 2020

So every year I think I’m going to get someone else to photograph my family… would be less stress, and less preparation. I would only have to focus on the clothing, which as you all know can be stressful enough!! But here we are, another year, and here is my family… photography by me!! I am so grateful for my beautiful mama who stood by to make sure all eyes are on the camera, and with dog treats ready in hand! She also happen to dress perfectly in our colors so we could have her in a few images. We love you Grandma Bonnie!:)

Just around the river bend… with the Bowlers!

Posted by Stephanie On April 13, 2018

Years ago I met a little man in nursery at church. His dad had to stay with him often because he had a hard time adjusting, like most 18 month little ones do. One day I brought out the letter mats that locked together like puzzle pieces, and made them into a trail. He watched what I was doing pretty intently, and then smiled and laughed as I started skipping along them. After that my little friend Cameron was hooked. He followed right behind me (because it was so fun of course;) and he had a great time in nursery everyday after… well, mostly from what I remember;)!

I love this Bowler family! We’ve taken Cameron’s pictures, maternity pictures, Lincoln’s baby pictures, and more studio family pictures. Now Cameron is 4 and Lincoln is 1 year old! I really am in denial about it, but it was time for family pictures again! I hunted for an awesome place to take pictures in early spring and Brittany loved the path below Nichol’s park in Kaysville. I’ve shot there before in the summer and in the fall, but never the spring… and never with a river. It is all dried up by the summer. So fun to be able to get some beautiful environmental portraits of the awesome family with the winding river! I’ve loved photographing you guys. Can’t wait to do it again!
