This cute couple met on this corner as they crossed the street 7 years ago. He told me that he knew he had to say something at that moment or he never would get the chance again. Fast forward to today… they have a beautiful 2 yr old daughter and wanted to shoot their first family session in this special spot.

Their daughter, Victoria is just adorable…

Sweet family…

Gabby has the best smile, it makes you want to smile right back!

I really loved the clothing colors they chose… perfect for the Fall leaves!

Sweet family!

I love this family. Candace & I met 11 years ago and she counts as one of my besties. Seriously, there isn’t a better night at work than one spent with a great friend…

girl power!

Marshall is a little character & kept us laughing!

Love this couple!

Fun personalities, super polite kids, great parents, one of my favorite locations at the peak of Fall… loved this session!

Kris & Kevin were married on the beautiful grounds of the Ko’olau Golf Club in Kaneohe, HI on the 17th of September. Everything about their special day makes me smile… family, friends, laughter, tears of joy. Their plans for a gorgeous and memorable wedding on the island that Kris’ parents grew up on and fell in love, came together perfectly. It is really hard to keep this post short, so I give up… I have too many favorites, here are a “few”.

All marriages should start out with such a unique, handmade map to guide the newlyweds…

The Utes were playing BYU (huge rivalry) during the wedding. Guests and ahem… parents were checking scores throughout the day. Kris’ parents were even interviewed by KSL Sports News in Salt Lake City just before heading out to Oahu. See their fun interview & Kris & Kevin’s engagement images in the sports highlights here…  http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=17251584

I love you. I love you more. I love you most.

Those were the words Kris & Kevin said to each other at the end of their reception. So sweet, I know! Cue… tears.

Cheers to a healthy and happy life together!

This Summer, I had the opportunity to travel to my hometown, Green Bay, WI to shoot sessions for families, H.S. Seniors, and a engagement. It was hot. I mean record temperatures and humidity off the charts. Even my camera was sweating… but, my clients kept their cool and looked fabulous and I loved each and every session! Here are just a few favorites from the family sessions…

Kris & Kevin have been busy traveling the world together since they met.

They both love Disneyland, and the happiest place on earth is where Kevin proposed.

These two carry that feeling of happiness wherever they go. They are so in love… in a make each other blush, giggling, hold hands kind of way. So sweet.

Well, it’s finally here… after a year and a half of planning their destination wedding in Hawaii, they will be celebrating their love with family and friends this weekend. I am so excited for you! Cheers to a long and happy life together!

Marissa & Joe grew up in the same hometown in California.  Their parents were friends, but they didn’t meet each other until attending college here in Utah.  Now they are enjoying their second year of marriage.  I love hearing stories like this.  It’s amazing how paths cross and timing has to be just right… and bam!  There it is.  Love.

Speaking of love…

Meet Maddux.  Marissa & Joe’s first baby, he’s a 9 mo. old cockapoo, and the star of the show.  He was absolutely one of the softest dogs I’ve ever met and so cuddly & adorable.  I could see right away why they love him so much!

We caught the gorgeous fall colors at peak time and managed to beat a huge rainstorm by a few seconds!  I really love the moody skies and fall colors in your photos!  Thank you Marissa, Joe and Maddux for a great session!

Washington bound… this is a family that will be missed.

I’ve been their family photographer since Lincoln was the star of their maternity pictures.  He turns three in just a few months, as his family is starting a new adventure in the Pacific Northwest.  What a little cutie!

Where do you photograph a boy who loves trucks and cars, a dad who loves to crash them in demolition derbys, and a mom who loves them both with all her heart?  This seemed like just the right place…

I have to admit, I am not a morning person.  But, I should be, because the sun rising over the Wasatch mountains on the way to this session was gorgeous. Krista handing me a chai (my favorite drink) as she stepped out of their car made my whole day.

Hey Lincoln!  Take care of your sweet family in Washington, ok?  We’ll see you again soon!

More favorites from Banner & Harry’s session.  A bit of romance…

Passion, mystery… I absolutely love this one!

Banner’s orange heels turn on the heat!

This one below was really fun to shoot.  I wanted to play with proportion & composition, and I just love how this turned out!  I just kept asking Harry to “back up a little more…”

Banner’s expression and stance is fabulous, she looks like a superhero…

What’s your story?
