There is something about winter and pine trees that I just love! Utah’s forests are a magical place and the perfect location for Winter family sessions.

This couple’s engagement session was shot on two separate dates to include locations here in Utah that they love! Because they were getting married on an Alaskan cruise, they wanted to include formal images taken in their wedding attire.

We shot their images at Snowbird, Little Cottonwood Canyon, La Caille, and the Bonneville Salt Flats. They are such a fun and adventurous couple, and their engagement session was truly a lot of fun!

Summer nights in Utah’s forests are my favorite …

This family was such a blast… I am a mom of 3 boys, and I get it. Run, jump, explore!

I love this sweet image of these brothers …

This family has been so fun to photograph over the past two years! They are so sweet and always bring bubbles for their children to play with – I love the fun it adds to their session!

I love watching these two grow over the years, and am honored to be their family photographer!

Adorable kiddos!!

I love this one… it has an Alice in Wonderland feel to it. This was shot at 24mm, I like to shoot wide in the forest and see the effect it has on the trees.

I get so excited to photograph family sessions in great Utah locations. Antelope Island is one of my favorite spots, and this is one of my favorite families!

There is nothing like a Summer day at the beach…

Meet 1 week old Declan…

I was contacted by Hearts Apart to photograph Declan’s newborn session.

HeartsApart.org provides photographs of newborn babies born to military personnel who were serving abroad and were not able to attend the birth due to their military obligations.

“HeartsApart.org was created to keep families connected while our military men and women are serving abroad. Through the efforts of our community’s finest photographers, HeartsApart.org provides our soon to be deployed servicemen and women with pictures of their spouses and children. The photographs are printed on waterproof and durable bi-folded cards, which fit securely in their uniform pocket. HeartsApart.org believes that our military personnel deserve and need the memory of their families to carry them through the difficult times that lie ahead.” ~ www.heartsapart.org

It is an honor to volunteer for Hearts Apart, and I’ve met so many great families!

Such a sweet baby!

Adorable! He was so good during his session…

I love to photograph newborns, and have the excuse to bring out cute props like this owl’s nest!

Declan, I could snuggle you for days you are so precious!

This little cutie will meet his daddy in person this Fall. Sr. Airman Bielick congratulations on the birth of your son, and thank you for your service! Lynsee, you are one amazing mama of 2 handsome boys… keep up the great work!

This gorgeous senior’s session was shot in my favorite Spring location, where these purple phlox bloom for a few weeks creating an amazing backdrop!

McKenzie’s mom came along on the session and I just love that they are not only mother and daughter, but also the best of friends. Hearing them giggle made me laugh, and then we were all laughing… it was a really fun session to shoot!

Best of luck to you McKenzie! Congratulations!

This handsome senior is an accomplished musician, and being used to having his photo taken, he made my job easy by being so comfortable in front of the camera!

Best of luck to you in your future Thomas! Congratulations!

This adorable couple is very excited to be having a baby this Fall!

They set up pregnancy progress sessions, and we will be documenting baby growing every two months at this beautiful location until the special delivery!

I am honored to photograph baby’s progress and it will be fun to see the seasons change as baby grows 🙂
