Utah Family Photographer

What do you get when you mix seven energetic children, a goofy photographer, marshmallows and bubbles?

An amazing photo session filled with tickles, giggles, jumping, and running (with only a few tears). These children were so well-behaved and all in the best moods. Their moms (the kids are all cousins) wanted to get a few shots for the grandparents as a gift, and I couldn't wait to work with them again (I did a session with the oldest three in January 2010).

As you can imagine, I was a little apprehensive at the prospect of trying to get seven children looking and smiling all at once, but it actually went very well! My husband tagged along as my assistant and did a fabulous job making the kids laugh. I love this family and hope to see them in the future when they are all in town again! :)

The Saffell Family: Utah Family Photographer

Do you remember THIS post from June?

Well this is Christa, and her lovely family. I am so happy they won the giveaway because they were the sweetest, most beautiful little family ever!

I love capturing a child's curiosity...he was enthralled by this stick!

The Gibson Family: Utah Family Photographer

I was so thrilled when my dear friend Emile approached me about taking her family pictures at the Salt Flats, near Wendover. It was a long drive, but we had so much fun catching up on each other's lives and reminiscing about high school. We arrived at the flats just as the sun was setting and the light was perfect. I was in heaven! Not only did we have a good time taking photos, but we had quite the adventure when one of our cars got stuck in the sand. It took several hours, but we finally got the vehicle out! Normally this would have been a stressful situation, but we had the best time. Thank you Gibson family for allowing me to take your family portraits! :)

Super Hero Birthday Party

Remember this amazing baby shower? My good friend Brooke is a party planner extraordinaire and put together this darling Super Hero party for her son's third birthday. Shana from Belva June supplied the printables...check out her shop...she has some great products! 

Want to know my favorite thing about the party? Watching a dozen or so toddlers running around in super hero costumes. Priceless!

The whole party was so much fun, and I don't even have children!
