This adorable family is moving ‘back home’ to Chicago after a fun few years exploring Utah. They wanted family photos taken to remember the landscape here so we headed to the foothills of Salt Lake City.

A.dor.a.ble.

It may be because I have three boys of my own, but I just love these mommy & son moments…

Thank you Knippel family for a fun session!

I was honored to be this Aussie family’s photographer for their first family portrait session. They did a great job for their first time, don’t you think? 😉

Meet Olivia… adorable!

Thank you Wiley family!

A 3rd Birthday session for a special client of mine… Happy Birthday Millie!

She is very excited for her mermaid birthday party… don’t you just love her new dress!

A party is always good cause for a new pair of shoes…

I would love to know what she is thinking the ocean is saying in this giggle shot! I love it!

Happy Birthday Millie!!!

Sisters.

This Winter session was shot for Holiday cards and gifts and as a surprise for their dad. The bright colors were perfect and these two are just adorable!

This Winter session was quick & fun… temperatures were COLD and I wanted to keep these cute kids smiling! They were a blast!

Adorable kids… love their freckles & smiles!

When it’s cold, you’ve got to keep moving! … and it makes fun images!

These sisters were so cute to photograph!

Love these moments with their mom & dad!

a great, happy 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!

This session started my obssession with this tree… one of my new favorite spots when the light is just right.

Kiran’s eyes are such a dark brown, it surprised me to see how they glowed in the sunset. Love it.

Happy parents, happy kids.

If you want to see siblings smile, ask them to make a pyramid…
