Carrie and the kids… in my yard!

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!

 

 

 

 

 

Bradford’s 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!

 

An Afternoon with the Christensens

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!

 

 

Memory Lane

A couple weeks ago I went down to Murray Park in Salt Lake City and photographed the extended family of one of my dearest friends, Carrie Jensen Sawyer.  I love the Sawyers! … and the Jensen’s! and the Clarke’s! and the rest of the gang!  We grew up next to each other, played together, went to church activities together, and went to dates together.  However it’s been awhile since I’ve seen the whole family… and all of their beautiful kids!  I was so excited I was invited to come and photograph such an amazing family!  Thank you so much!  So good to see you all!

 

In the Canyon with Adam and Kayler

So last week I had fun with a good friend of my up Big Cottonwood Canyon.  Heike Bammann and I photographed Kayler Poglajen and Adam Dimond with the beautiful backdrop of wildflowers, forest and mountains.  The night was gorgeous, our models were perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for a better landscape.  Just exquisite.  We had just enough time for beautiful backlighting, an awesome sunset, and dresses.  Lot’s of dresses!  Thank you Heike, Kayler, and Adam.  It was such a fun, wonderful, night!  I hope we do it again soon!!

 

 

 

Jessica and Cesar Get Married

Jessica Saari and Cesar Alvarado got married on July 17th at the Cathedral of the Madeleine.  It was such beautiful day.  Their wedding at the cathedral was gorgeous, full of love, and supported by friends and family.  There reception was really so much fun!  I took portraits at there line as there guests arrived, in the gardens of their wedding party, of the cake cutting, of the dating game, of their friends giving speeches, and lots of images of dancing, because there was lots and lots of dancing!  Jessica said during the night that she had always wanted her wedding day to be a day when everyone had a really great time.  It was Jessica!  Everyone was dancing, laughing, and celebrating Jessica and Cesar’s beautiful day! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it!  It was really a wonderful night!

 

Sara Arrington FNP

Last week a good friend, and neighbor of mine, said that her sister needed some new headshots.  Sara Arrington is opening Heart and Soul Family medicine on April 5th, so we got out and photographed her right away.  I’d never met Sara before but after a couple hours of being with her I feel like we’re already good friends.  She was kind, gentle with my kids, and you can really tell she cares about you.  I wish her the best in her new family practice!!  Hope we get to do it about really soon!

Beautiful Mama on a Drizzly Day

Brittany’s maternity session was set up for Friday.  Chance of rain was small.  It was quite overcast, but it’s been a grey sort of a week.  About an hour before the session it started to drizzle, then rain.  No problem!  We rescheduled for the next day!  There wasn’t any rain in the forecast so we were in the clear… until 15 minutes after we got there when the rain started…  no kidding!!  It was a grey, chilly, drizzly, photoshoot.  However, I don’t think Brittany’s portraits could be more beautiful.  What a lovely beautiful mama she is!  I’m so excited to meet little man number 2 and take some more pictures!  Welcome to the all boys club Bowlers!!

Maverick

I love posting sneak peaks of my sessions, I admit it!  This session is no exception.  This family is just adorable and little Maverick is just the sweetest!  Very typical of little ones his age he was shy at first, but once he realized the strange lady with the really large camera was not going away, he quickly relaxed and we all had a lot of fun!  It was great to be with you Richardson family!!  Hope you love your portraits!

Paul, Kaydee, and the Kiddos

The other day I was able to spend some time with my younger sister Kaydee, and take some pictures of her little crew.   We played with a lot of squeaky toys and tossed the lion! We also did some singing, and had some candy… which I admit I have found very helpful with kids, and I am not above using for some smiles!  I love your beautiful family Kaydee!!  Thanks for letting me spend the evening with you!
