Welcome to the blog!!! I'm so excited to share beautiful images, tips, tricks and experiences with you!
I'm SO EXCITED to finally be able to share the Ekstrom/Hanni wedding with you all!!!! Maya has such a special place in my heart. I was blessed to be able to be one of her church teachers when she was younger. And I have been able to photograph her family every year as well!!! So her wedding was extra special for me to photograph! It was such a HUGE honor and I am so excited I get to finally share her GORGEOUS images! First up is the insanely adorable couple!!! The weather forecast said we were supposed to have rain ALL DAY. So I was prepared for rainy day pictures but hoping and praying for some decent weather. It was so awesome! We had clear skies for like an hour and a half while we did pictures. And once we were done it started raining! haha Maya and Britt were so freaking awesome for their photos!!! They were just insanely adorable. They were so incredibly happy and so much fun to work with. I had such a good time capturing their love, joy, and excitement after being married! They totally killed it and I am so in love with their photos!!! Here are a few of my favorites of the happy couple: One of my favorite parts of photographing a wedding (besides photographing the beautiful bride and groom) is photographing the details!!! SO MUCH time and effort goes into planning (and sometimes making) every single detail. I love capturing all of that effort in a photo. Plus, all of the details are what make a wedding unique. It is so much fun to photograph every single piece right down to the smallest detail. :) I was so crazy about the colors for this wedding! They were so incredible. I also loved the infinity theme in their wedding rings (and the inscription as well). Everything was so beautiful and I loved capturing it all!!! Here are a few of my favorite detail shots: Who doesn't love the group photos?!? It was an honor to meet everyone that came out to celebrate this beautiful couple. And I loved photographing all of their gorgeous faces! I loved watching the interactions between everyone. You could feel the joy and love they all share, not only with each other, but for the newly weds as well. There was some silliness and laughing and it was just great! I loved every second! It was a bit chilly- so they all did absolutely amazing and were such good sports. I always try to hurry to get people out of the heat/cold but I always appreciate the patience as I try to get all the combinations. :) And lastly, I get to share the rest of the wedding with you!!! Their temple exit, reception, first dance, etc. It was such a great party celebrating an incredible couple. It was wonderful to see so many people come to share their love and join in the celebration. I think my favorite part of the night was when the bride threw her bouquet for the girls and it was caught by one of the groomsmen! haha! It was hands down the best bouquet toss ever!!! :) I'm so happy for this gorgeous couple. It was such a beautiful day filled with love, joy and celebration. I was so honored to photograph it for them. I wish them all the joy in the world as they navigate their newest adventure.

March, April and May l have been SO CRAZY!!!! I have been so unbelievably busy. Things have finally calmed down some so I have quite a bit of blogging to catch up on!!! The first is the last session I did in 2021. Better late than never right? Please welcome back the Pauli family!!!! I love photographing this family. They are always so much fun to be around. And their sessions are always so unique!!! They always focus on building memories first and getting photos second. I always look forward to their creative ideas each year. It is always a unique venue. This last session was no exception!!! This family LOVES ice skating. From figure skating to hockey to just leisurely ice skating.... everyone in the family is involved with it in some way. So for their family photos they wanted to do some photos on the ice! I was so excited! They wanted a super casual feel to the photos. No pressure for anything... just photograph them enjoying what they love to do. :) And it was so fun to see them all in their element! When I photograph this family, I always find myself challenged in the best way possible. This most recent challenge was photographing them WHILE IN HOCKEY SKATES ON THE ICE! I almost lost my balance a couple of times but I am very proud to say that I did NOT fall once! It was quite tricky to balance while looking through my lens! But I enjoyed the challenge. :) I had so much fun on the ice with them! Even if I looked like a child ice skating. haha! I adore this family. Coming from a blended family, I always love photographing other blended families. I love seeing all of the relationships build over the years. I have been blessed to watch their bonds strengthen in their pictures over the years and it is truly so incredibly special to photograph. They always make me laugh and they are all so incredibly kind. I'm so excited to FINALLY share their super special session with you all!!! And get ready for some mass blogging while I play catch-up. ;) I can't wait to see what this fun family thinks of next!!! Please welcome back the Redfords! I love photographing these two! (And not just because they are my sister and brother in law!) ;) I can't remember how many times I've been able to photograph their beautiful selves. It has been a lot! But I adore these two! And I always look forward to doing their photos for them! This year they wanted to do a themed shoot. They decided on Star Wars. How fun is that!? I had so much fun with all of the props that they brought for their shoot. I LOVE when clients bring props. It helps make their photos so much more personal and it gives me a chance to get even more creative! We had so much fun that they decided they want to do a different theme every year. I'm so excited! It was so dang cold on the day of their shoot but they were troopers!!! They did so amazing! They totally rocked the shoot! The day was filled with laughter which always makes for the best photos!!! I love watching couples laugh and goof around together. It makes their photos so unique and magical! I'm so grateful I get to photograph these two! I look forward to it every year. And now I get to look forward to even more themes and props! I'm super excited! I can't wait to see what the next one will be! Please welcome back the Chance Family!!! I adore this family so much!!! They were my first official clients for my photography business and I have had the most amazing honor of photographing their beautiful faces every year since then!!! This family definitely has such a special place in my heart. It has been so awesome to watch these kids grow up. They are all so wonderful and I always look forward to photographing them!!! We always try to get fall photos. Some years have been more successful than others. But this location was so amazing for fall photos!!! We had such beautiful fall colors!!! It was amazing! We were all very excited about it!! It was so incredibly beautiful!!! I couldn't ask for a better location for this incredible family. I always have so much fun with this family. The kids ALWAYS have ideas for what photos they are wanting as well and it is so wonderful! Their youngest especially always has his own ideas for photos he wants. I LOVE it so much!!! When I first photographed this family YEARS ago, the kids (who were tiny compared to now) wanted a picture with the youngest child across their laps. It was so adorable. And now, every year, they always want to re-enact that photo! And I seriously love it!!! So every year we always end the shoot with the youngest across the laps of the other kids. It is something I always look forward to! This family is so incredibly beautiful, inside and out! I love photographing their gorgeous faces and relationships!!! They all love each other so much! Of course the siblings tease each other! That is part of the love right!? But there is so much love and respect from everyone to everyone. It is such a joy to photograph. We always get EVERY COMBINATION you can possibly think of. It is such a joy to see all of the individual relationships. This family is always down to play too! Whether it is playing in a river, or having a leaf fight, they are always up for making memories! I seriously love photographing them!!! I'm so happy we finally got the PERFECT location for their fall photos. It has been such a joy and honor to photograph them all these years. I appreciate them more than they know! And I genuinely look forward to seeing them every year. I'm so excited to share this beautiful family's photos with you! Here are a few of my favorites in the slide show below: Please welcome the Jamison Family!!! I am so excited to show you this beautiful family's photos!!! This was such a fun shoot. I have had the honor of photographing two engagement sessions and a wedding for this family. But this was the first time I got to photograph them all together!!! And I loved it so much!!! This sweet family had me laughing so hard during their shoot. Especially the boys. It is pretty common for guys to not enjoy having their photos taken. But these guys were such good sports! They were making jokes and laughing and kissing their beautiful wives. I think they had a better time than they like to admit. ;) Seriously though, they were all absolutely amazing! Their shoot was filled with laughter and love. And those are always my FAVORITE shoots. As I said, I had the huge honor to photograph some of them before. But this was the first time photographing them all together and I seriously loved it! It was such a joy to meet everyone in the family and to see them all interact together. They were so much fun to be around!!! You can tell that they have some seriously good times together. :) I always enjoy watching families interact with each other especially when I get to take their pictures! :) They had their photos done at the beautiful Botanical Gardens in Ogden. This location is so pretty! We had some really gorgeous pockets of light to play with as well which was awesome. Because if you know me, you know I LOVE light! So I was pretty excited about it. :) It was such a joy to photograph this beautiful family. It was wonderful to see all of the special and loving relationships they all share with one another. It was an awesome family at a beautiful location and some pretty dang good light. I couldn't ask for more!!! I loved spending time with them all. They did so amazing for their shoot and I love how their photos came out! I'm so excited I get to share them with you all! Some of my favorite shots can be found in the slideshow below. Enjoy! |
