Telford Family

I’ve known Amber and her family for I don’t even want to admit how many years and I met Paul when I photographed their wedding.  I started photographing Amber as part of Colette’s Dancing School which her Mom owned at the time and we have been friends ever since.  It is sooo cool to be able to photograph Amber’s family now and watch her kids grow.  It’s an even bigger bonus when her kids run up and give me a hug at church.  We had a lot of fun in the session and as you can see took tons of photos of the kids.  If you’re an employee of Colettes or the family of a Colette’s Dancer ask me about the CDS discount on all portrait sessions.  If you want autumn colors though you have to hurry and schedule your sessions now.  Call 801-967-9106 for an appointment.

Nielsen Family

We are so lucky here in Utah to have all four seasons to photograph in.  I think Autumn is my favorite though, especially when you have a day like this one.  The leaves are really starting to change and you can feel that winter is on the way but there’s still something magical about the fall leaves and family portraits.  In addition to the traditional family portraits here we tried to have fun and take photos of the family just being themselves.  There’s still time if you haven’t made an appointment yet to get your family portraits taken in the fall leaves.  Don’t miss out great opportunities like this one.

Kortney Senior Session

 I’ve known Kortney for several years now but I had no idea she was so beautiful until I got to take her senior photos.  Kortney is such a great athlete and just all around great person and I’m so happy that she made homecoming queen.  I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun as I did working with Kortney.  Mention that you are a friend of Kortney and get your session at half price.

Bella

 This little girl really lives up to her name.  Bella in spanish means beautiful and she knows it.  She was great in front of the camera and I think we both had a lot of fun.  Even her proud papa got in on a few.  I love to photograph outdoors but as the weather gets colder it is great to have a large studio to work in especially for the little ones.  They just don’t understand why they are freezing and somebody wants them to smile.  I’ve had famlies as large as 40 people before with room to spare.  The other advantage to a studio is you can photograph all day long and get perfect light all the time.

Chester Family

I thought I was taking summer family photos in August but it turned out that fall colors are a little early this year and we got a little bit of fall color already.  In the past month the some areas have really changed a lot and others it’s still greeen.  The best fall color though I think will be gone if a few more weeks so if you want autumn color family portraits you need to get those booked now.  I did their wedding a few years ago so I was really excited when they called for family portraits.  Their baby was sooo cute, laughing out loud a lot of the time.  I would love to get her in the studio or out in the garden and just spend an hour or two photographing her laugh.  This is another session that you couldn’t just get one.  I would need a whole gallery of images to really do this justice.  I hope they have a lot of walls.

Dunn Baby

He is soooo cute.  But then I wouldn’t have expected anything less with the two gorgeous sisters that he has that are some of my favorite photos on my website.  Daisies are gone but I am still shooting in my garden.  I’ve got 4 or 5 areas now that have grown in enough to make great backgrounds.   I can’t wait to photograph the whole family again.  Maybe in the fall colors or a winter background.

Youlton Family

This was so much fun.  I get to play with these tiny babies and I don’t even have to clean up after them.  I really love it when I get Mom and Dad with the baby.  It’s such a special time for everybody.  It’s hard in the sales room though because I know if it were me I would want everything huge all over my house.  It’s so hard to decide on favorites, even for the blog I have a hard time choosing just a few.  If you have or are expecting babies please call me.  You can never go back to these moments and once they are gone, they are gone forever.  I would give anything to have photos of us with our kids like this.

Mandi and Chris Wedding

 I really had a lot of fun shooting Mandi and Chris’ wedding.  The location was wonderful and the day could not have been better.  There were so many places in the yard to photograph that we were able to get some great variety which is usually not easy to do in a backyard wedding.  The families were great to work with and I just loved photographing the little kids that were there.  That was also the coolest backyard fireplace that I have ever seen.  Good luck Mandi and Chris on your new life together and I wish you all the success in the world.  You guys will be great.  Just remember to come back every once in a while for photos.  Wedding guests of Mandi and Chris get half off your portrait session if you mention their event.  Thanks again for the beautiful day and I hope you enjoy the photos.

Mallory and Israel Wedding

I have known Mallory for a few years through my Jet Blue fundraisers so I was thrilled when she called me for her wedding.  Mallory and Israel made a beautiful couple and they are just such nice people.  It was a pleasure to be there for your wedding and I hope I get to photograph you and your families in the years to come.  I am starting fall family portraits soon and if mention that you met me at Mallory and Israel’s wedding the session is free through November 30th.  Fall colors will be over though by the middle of October so call me soon 801-967-9106.  Thanks again Mallory and Israel and I wish to success and happiness in your new life together.

Amanda Quince

There’s something a little bit magical about a quinceañera celebration.  Maybe it the dozens of teenagers all dressed up in fancy dresses and tuxedos.  It could also be the 8 to 20 girls and guys in choreographed dance moves working together to create something beautiful.  When Dad kneels at his daughter’s feet and changes her shoes to the fancy high heeled women’s shoe and the look on his face when he looks up and sees his daughter and realizes that she is no longer his little girl.  It makes me cry every time.  Then the young teenage boy comes and takes her away and they start the dance.  I think of my own daughters and sometimes I want to just say no, you put those old shoes on and stay and little girl just a few more years.  Do it for your Mom.  They never do though, they just keep growing and before you know it they are calling me to take engagement and wedding photos.  Amanda, you are so beautiful and you look so grown up in these photos.  If I could say anything to you here it is to keep the magic going.  You have 5 more years to be a teenager and finish high school and start college.  Enjoy those years and remember this day and the love your parents have for you.  Okay friends and family, let’s hear it for Amanda.  Leave your comments here.
