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! :)

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!

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! :)

Fall. My favorite time of year. I love the crisp air, crunchy leaves, hot chocolate, cozy sweaters...the list goes on and on! One of my favorite reasons is that I get to work with families! I spend all spring and summer shooting weddings, so it's a nice change of pace to see young children and sweet families like this one. We went to Squaw Peak in Provo, UT at 8am (early, I know!) to get that pretty morning light. I just love how they turned out. Enjoy!
