So many of you know that we moved, but did you know how beautiful the yard is? There are trees, and rocks, and grass, and lots of places to play. In the spring my friend Carrie Peterson was ready to get pictures taken with her kids, and so we tried out the yard. I think they are beautiful images!!! It’s really fun to shoot in every angle, thanks Carrie for being the first!

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!

A week ago I went to take photographs of an extended family all gathered together for Grandpa Dick’s birthday…. But it was sooo cold! Like my phone said “feels like 18 degrees” COLD. So inside we went! Moved everything we could so all of the family would fit by the couch, and the photographs are gorgeous! Such a wonderful family! Sandy, Kent, Dick, Amber, Dayne, and family, thank you so much. I hope we can do it again really soon!! (Perhaps on a slightly warmer day;)

I was able to go out with the Christensen family last Friday. I’ve known Shaundeen for years. We used to exercise together when our kids were really small and ran their scooters around us in the gym of the church. We served in the Primary at church together were able to watch our kids begin to form their testimonies of our Savior. It was so fun to go out with them and capture gorgeous images of their beautiful children at this time in their lives. They are so talented, so smart, and so kind. Devon and Shaundeen you have a wonderful family! Thank you for sharing the afternoon with me!

We did it again!! I took my families photographs…. again!! Every year I do this I am soooo very relieved when it’s over! Yes, I get worried about clothing, and location and hair, and getting there on time… like every other family getting photographed (including my clients;). However, taking photographs of your own children adds a whole other dynamic…. are they going to listen/ smile/ runaway from mom and play a game like “hide and go seek!?” Ah!! Yes to all of that. We bribe, and bribe, and bribe… and plead! In the end they usually turn our OK! (It helps I have beautiful little fellas to photograph!) Well here goes! Dasek Family 2019!

After a couple years I was able to take the Schroeder’s portraits again! Grandpa was in town and they wanted a special extended family portrait as a gift for him. We met at Kays Creek Parkway and walked up the path to the area on the very north end where I usually like to take portraits. The path was closed… but we went there anyway!;) (We’ll do anything for good photographs!!) Well we braved the construction, and the mosquitos (and there were a lot) but the portraits are gorgeous! Salina, thanks so much for having me! I hope we can do it again really soon!!

I’ve been photographing this family for a number of years… I believe this is the fourth, and I just can’t handle how fast these kids are growing, especially Rainey. She is long and so adorable, I just can’t handle it! Slow down!
Ok, now that I’ve gotten that out of system… they are all adorable!! The Petersen’s are such great friends! We appreciate their family so much, and I’m so grateful I’ve been able to be a part of capturing these precious moments of their growing adorable children! I am excited for what the future will bring Beautiful Petersen family!

Look at these beautiful kids! Such sweethearts! I had so much fun a few weeks ago taking portraits of these cute little siblings and there cousin. Photographing children is always full of singing, coaxing, a bit of bribery, and… sometimes crying. However, if you wait for the right moment you often strike gold. Aren’t these beautiful children!

I had the privileged of photographing the Thomson’s again this year… so fun!! We went to Kays Creek Parkway, which is packed with photographers this time of year, but we were able to get some beautiful images and have a great time doing it! (Well we might have gone 15 minutes too long for dad, lol:) It was a fun filled night of pulling weeds out of the way, bribing kids with fruit snacks, more pulling weeds out of the way, bribing with graham crackers… there might have been some more pulling weeds out of the way… then a bit of a puppet show… and even some viewing of the movie Moana! It was so worth it! We made fun memories and beautiful images! Can’t wait until next time! Thanks for the fun night Thomson family! PS next time I’ll remember scissors to help with getting the weeds out of the way!:)

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!
