Meet the Miller family!! This family was so perfect for pictures and we had a great time! Mom and me were trying to schedule a session day and time at Denzil Stewart Park that would work for them and it was stressful! The only day they had open was when it was supposed to rain...I watched the weather every day and then hourly the day of their session with fingers crossed! It was a miracle because we ended up beating it and it was perfectly cloudy day with nice even light that made their cute little faces glow! Their little girl is at the exciting age of four and she was full of energy and loved to pose on her own. She would do the cutest pose with her hand on her hip with her other hand pointed out by her side. She said that was her "princess pose"; CUTEST thing ever!! But their little boy wins the prize of best behavior for pictures!! I am not going to lie, I was a little worried when Mom told me their youngest was eight months old because it is always a hit and miss with that age! I will have sessions where babies cry and refuse to smile and then some where they do not cry, but I can get no smiles out of them. This little boy was the opposite and just as happy and attentive as ever! All I would have to do was say his name and he would quickly turn his head right at the camera and smile! So. Perfect! I really get in my element when taking pictures when I am not looking at my settings, worried about posing, or stressing over smiles. The session is then not work or something I HAVE to do, but rather something I am so privileged to do and LOVE to do with all my heart. The best advice I heard from my idol photographer and role model Katelyn James is when she said "Have your business be less about pictures and more about people.” My mission is to bring light and joy into peoples' lives through photography. It’s right there in my Instagram bio ;) I love when I can just sit back and take pictures and document families interacting with each other just how they would at home. The Millers helped make this happen! Thanks again guys!!

When I found out that there were JUNIEblake dresses in Logan, I got super excited! JUNIEblake started out in my hometown in Safford Arizona a little over five years ago. I know the owners well and one of them was my high school piano teacher! The JUNIEblake clothing line is all about being modest and trendy. From their about us page- "JUNIEblake wants to bring you clothes that you feel comfortable in without sacrificing the latest trends. There is no reason why you can't be modest AND have amazing style too! The JUNIEblake clothing line will mainly consist of modest dresses. We were frustrated with having to wear so many layers in order to make a dress "work". So we decided to design dresses that don't need a tank or cap sleeve to go underneath for a more modest feel. Dresses that won't need a cover-up or cardigan to cover the arms. Dresses that give you the length that you want. All of this, without having to sacrifice being trendy and stylish." I own four or five of the dresses and am always wanting more! JUNIEblake started selling their line of clothing along with others in their store called Sorellas Elite Fashion in Safford. I will never forget going there with my sisters and trying on dresses. The atmosphere, the service, there was nothing like it! The store closed down a year or so ago but now JUNIEblake is sold online throughout the world and through fashion consultants all over the U.S including Alaska and Hawaii! So when I found out one of the consultants was in Logan, I immediately contacted her! Sarah just started selling JUNIEblake and is already loving it! When I told her I wanted to get some models and do a photography with the dresses, she said of course and was so excited! I went on a Facebook group for local models and someone referred me to Elizabeth Howell. She was SO amazing!! This girl is a natural and I literally did not even have to pose her! She has learned from the best and her work is amazing!! To contact Sarah, look at what is in stock, and be up to date on the latest deals, go to her Instagram account or her Facebook page! Such a huge thank you to both Sarah and Elizabeth for making this happen!
SURPRISE! I cannot believe I was able to be a part of this adorable couple's special announcement! Alex and me went to high school together in Thatcher Arizona with her being two grades older. I have known Alex and her family for years and I remember being at her house when she opened her mission call to Seattle Washington. She is such a sweet person and I have always looked up to her as an example! I was so happy for her when she got married to her best friend a little over a year ago. Her and Dalton moved up to Cache Valley about a year ago and have loved it. I knew they would be perfect models for pictures and when I asked they, willingly said yes with excitement! A couple of days before their session Alex surprised me with two things I was SO happy about! When I visited my family in Thatcher I had brought my stroller for the airport and on the way to the airport I had forgotten it and it was too late to go back and get it. Alex and Dalton were just visiting her family in Thatcher and they brought my stroller back! I was so happy to have it back. But the second thing, and most exciting one, was that Alex asked if they could take a couple of pictures with a sonogram for an announcement that they were expecting!! I am so excited and thrilled for these two. While taking their pictures, all I would have to do was say look at each other and they would just start giggling and smiling uncontrollably! It was the cutest thing.
It seems just like yesterday that I was telling my husband Sean I was pregnant. I will never forget the look on his face or how we both embraced and shed tears of joy. But that's another story for another time ;) Congrats again you two! So happy for you!! This may be the most excited I have ever been to share a blog post!! Which is not saying much because I am always excited to share pictures, but I really love how these turned out and cannot wait to deliver them all to the couple! Calli and Matt have been engaged for a couple of months now but were so willing when I asked them if they model for me at a new location in downtown Logan I wanted to try out and were happy to do it! I am in LOVE with his ivy wall and had an amazing time taking these pictures! These two were so happy and giggly, I hardly had to tell them what to do. I am all about the natural and comfortable poses that don't force anything! I love seeing what couples naturally do and try to sneak in a few pictures when the couple is in their own little world. Calli is also a photographer and recently took some in home lifestyle pictures of me and my family that I loved! We have been messaging back and forth through Facebook and decided it was time to finally meet in person! And what better way than to take pictures of each other?! Calli and Matt are getting married this December three days before my two year anniversary! It is a cold month to get married but its the best way to seal the deal after finding summer love with your best friend :) When I got married in Arizona it was cold to me but it was 30 degrees out; I cannot imagine how cold it is going to be for these two!! Fingers crossed there's not a huge snow storm! I asked Calli and Matt how wedding planning was going because I know how stressful it can be!! They laughed and replied that they are at the point they do not really care what happens that day as long as they get married! I totally know how they feel and me and my husband were at that point about the same time they were! We were just ready to get married and done with the other "fluff" that goes on! I wish these two all the happiness in the world as they start this new journey together and cannot wait to see pictures of them on their special day!
Crazy story- So I had to amazing opportunity second shoot with MarLyn Goodrich Hill for her fall minis and it was so fun! We drove up together to Green Canyon and I get out of the car and its Sarah and Grant! These two were the gorgeous models of a styled bridal shoot put on by Miss E Photography a couple of months back; so crazy! It was so awesome to see some familiar faces and be a part of taking their pictures once again! Sarah had cut her hair since I had seen her last and I LOVE it!! These two were as cute as ever and you would think they were newly weds with how in love they were. Sarah and Grant have been married for a little over a year and a half and are getting ready to move wherever Grant's job takes them either in Kansas or Minnesota. They are both from Utah and are ready for the next chapter of their lives to begin. Most of you know me and my husband moved to Logan with our baby boy three months ago. It was a huge leap of faith as we both left our hometown where we grew up in back in Thatcher Arizona about fourteen hours away from Logan. It was really hard to leave our families and friends along with all of the memories made there. I had grown up and lived in Thatcher for over 10 years and my husband was born and raised there for his whole 25 years of life. That is where we met, started dating, got engaged and married, lived in our first home in a crappy trailer, found out we were expecting and where we became parents and grew stronger while being in the hospital for three months with our little miracle Boston. We are so grateful for all of those memories, but it was time to plant our roots somewhere else, make new memories, and be on our own while relying on only each other. We love Logan so far and it already feels like home. I breath a sigh of relief every time I am coming back from a photo shoot and see the canyon open up and view all of Cache Valley and know I am home. Let's see how I feel when it is the dead middle of winter and I am freezing and am wanting that Arizona "winter" where it might get to the 30s ;)
I loved fall colors at Denzil Stewart Park because they were perfect for family pictures! Meet the Christensen family! You may recognize three of these lovely people because they have been in previous pictures! I recently just did Elysa's senior pictures and her sister Nicole and her husband Nate were part of the Leven's clothing shoot I did! It was great to see familiar faces and to meet some new ones! The Christensen's have not had family pictures in a long time, and I was so grateful to document their family! The weather has been rainy and cold in Cache Valley lately, but the weather was good to us while at Denzil Stewart Park and it ended up being the perfect day for pictures! Their youngest is fifteen years old so it was a different experience not having to deal with hyper little kids and make funny noises while waving my hands in the air, and I almost would just being used to it! Not having to bribe the kids with treats was a relief and it was amazing how they just fell into order with posing in no time at all! Some people (men and teenage boys *cough cough*) dread when family pictures come around and try to avoid it at all costs. The boys, well I should say men because they are not boys, did such a great job and I was very impressed! I felt like the session went quick and easy with everyone enjoying each other so hopefully that was avoided! Well at least I think it was because everyone was smiling still by the end of it and not at each other's throats! ;) I love to see how families interact and when personalities come out, especially between the siblings! Thanks again Christensen family! I had a blast!
What is more perfect when taking pictures with a ivy wall background on USU (Utah State University) campus than this adorable little family's baby girl is named Ivey! Her mamma Jasmine and I connected through Facebook when I posted about needing a babysitter for when I go on photography shoots out of town for hours at a time for my son Boston. I had just moved to Logan and knew nobody and was a little nervous about who would answer back on my Facebook post. Jasmine was one of the the first ones that answered back and I ended up picking her! She has THE cutest little girl and her and my son Boston are only a month apart! Jasmine has babysat Boston a number of times and Ivey and him are buddies. I had so much fun taking pictures of Jasmine and her adorable little family. Ivey is soooo adorable!! She was grumpy all day according to her mom, but was super happy and smiley for pictures! Ivey waited patiently while I took a few pictures of her parents and played with her toys while sitting on the grass. She loves to chew on anything and already has tons of teeth!! While she was playing in the grass she was going to town checking on her favorite toys, especially her toy medal.
Jasmine is a new LulaRoe consultant and is already loving it! These clothes are SO comfortable and stylish! Both the dress, leggings, and top Jasmine is wearing is form there. Here is also a secret, her hubby is wearing a shirt from it too ;) Guys can wear them too! Baseball tees are so in right now and have the perfect fit for men! Contact Jasmine through her Facebook page to find all of her newest inventory and be up to date on deals and giveaways! I was so excited and happy when Elysa told me at the beginning of her shoot she LOVES having her pictures taken!! Can you say perfect?! We decided to do her session at Denzil Stewart Nature Park in Logan. Thought it was a Monday, it was packed being Columbus Day everyone had scheduled their pictures the same time! It was a perfect day to take pictures and the fall colors were so pretty. There were a half a dozen families there as well as a couple of other seniors taking their pictures as well. Elysa even recognized one of her friends there! Her senior shoot was such a blast and we had so much fun during it. Elysa was so perfect and natural posing, we were able to do some advanced poses some people usually cannot do. This girl was a pro! She let me pose her however and when she did not feel 100% natural, I said- trust me I promise it looks good, she trusted me and was confident in herself! I asked if she wanted to try some more serious shots and she just went for it thought she could not keep herself from smiling. Her beautiful smile is contagious! After trying a couple of serious shots, I rarely had her do anymore because her smile was her best accessory! I could not help but to want to capture every picture with her smiling. HER EYES. This girl's eyes are stunning!! Elysa is gorgeous inside and out and you cannot be around her without feeling happy and leaving her presence without being in a good mood. So happy I was able to meet her and take her senior pics while having so much fun. I ended up taking her family's picture today also, so hopefully she did not get tired of me! She is definitely a pro at pictures now ;)
These beautiful pictures started with a crazy start of me getting super lost driving to the Great Saltair and driving on a farm road that was blocked with teenage boys that were not too fond of me...It all started when Goldust Photography let me know of a family session she was doing that I was welcomed to come to at a super location, so of course, I was SO there! I found a babysitter and headed off on a little road trip of an hour and a half. I love to drive and looked forward to the little bit of alone time I was going to get. I was so happy that traffic was good and I arrived at my googled destination 15 minutes before the shoot was suppose to start. I looked around and something didn't seem right and then my heart sank when I realized I was in the wrong place. After a half of dozen calls to the main photographer, I tried to find my way to the location and was became frustrated when I realized I still had another 30 minutes to go. When typing it in again in Google Maps, my phone continued to say the location did not exist. I was soooo angry... My dumb phone then led me to a farm road literally feet away from the highway but I was only able to go 35 mph which was not helping my case. I then squinted up ahead and saw the road blocked with three or four cars and I was forced to come to a sudden complete stop. A group of teenage boys were blocking the way and after several minutes of me waving my arms angrily for them to move, they regretfully did. I then started to drive by them more mad then ever and I guess they did not appreciate that because a couple of them started to bang on my car. I quickly speed off and did not look back. I looked ahead and was so relieved with joy when I was the ACTUAL location! The Great Saltair! It was such a cool building right off of the Great Salt Lake and the beach was right next to it. I found the main photographer and the family and they did not disappoint! They were the cutest little family with the perfect outfits! I was so glad I was still able to get some adorable shots! Next time I will definitely triple check an address before adventuring out to a session location I have never been before. You would think I would have not made that mistake only living in Utah three months and have no idea where anything is.. Enjoy these cuties down below ;)
One word-MODEL. Mikaela is beautiful inside and out and was a natural at taking pictures! I was glad to be back in Thatcher Arizona and having a perfect session made it all worth the while! Mikaela told me because of her braces she did not want to smile at all with her teeth; I did though sneak in a couple of adorable laughing pictures ;) So instead, she rocked the model pose! I hardly had to tell her what to do, she would just naturally fall into a pose. This girl is only an 8th grader!! My little sister is in her grade and has been in sports with her and it has been so fun watching them grow up. Mikaela is super talented as well as being a super fun girl to be around! She was so confident and owned that model face, I was so impressed. Her adorable shirt is from a local shop back home in Safford Arizona called The Wear! They have super cute clothes and tons perfect for fall so go check them out! I love the feel of fall and being able to wear comfy clothes and cute boots! I will be back in Thatcher the first week of December and would love to do a couple of mini sessions for a great price so contact me if you are interested!
Today is a special day for me because two years ago I got engaged to my best friend right here in Logan Utah. It was spontaneous and it was the happiest moment of my life up until that point. We were just visiting and my husband wanted to show me around Logan because he has recently been there a couple times before and it had felt like home. I was a little hesitant at first, but when we sat on a bench overlooking the whole valley moments before he proposed, I was set. We love living in Logan, and even thought it has only been a couple months, it already feels like home. Today is also a very special day for me today because it marks six months from when my son got to come home from the hospital from being in the NICU. Those 46 days will be ones I will never forget. They were painful, emotional, hard, patience-bearing, special, intimate, and priceless. Some of you already know of his circumstances, of our journey but some of my new followers do not so I will give the short version. After being three weeks on bed rest in the hospital, my son Boston was born 10 weeks early at 2 lbs 0 oz and spent 46 days in the NICU at Tucson Medical Center in Tucson Arizona. He was truly a miracle surviving all odds with no complications. I will never forget the moment I became a mother when he was born and Boston came out screaming and the doctors showed him to me for a few short seconds. The first time I got to hold that tiny fragile body that fit into my sports bra was a moment I will never forget. Even though it felt like there were more wires than baby sometimes, I cherished those moments and hated when the nurses would make me put him back in his incubator. He was a fighter in the NICU and I felt so blessed to be his mother and a part of his journey. The days were long and especially hard being 2 1/2 hours away from our home and family. My husband and I were still in school and thankfully I was able to still graduate the month after we came home. It was discouraging to see wires and medicines taken away to then come back the next day to find they were there again. Being in the NICU is like taking one step forward and three steps back. It felt as if it would never end and we would never get to go home. The only way I survived was taking one day at a time and being hopeful and positive seeing this hardships as one for good in the end. My marriage became solid, I became a stronger person, I was able to see the good in others and help them in their struggles. I became a different person the moment I let this trial change me for good and I began to trust in God and His plan for me. "Faith and trust in the Lord requires us to acknowledge that His wisdom is superior to our own." -W. Mark Bassett Through faith, prayer, and patience of Boston's progression, we were able to come home when Boston was 7 weeks old. I remember how nervous I was to not have wires, monitors, or nurses by our side, but I was SO thankful to be home and leave that hospital life behind. I would never wish what I went through on anybody, but that part in my life will forever be very special and dear to me. I am so grateful that God had other plans for me than I intended for myself because I would not be the same person I am today. This trial made me take a step back from life when I thought my whole world was crushed as it turned upside down. Not knowing if my baby would live or not made me realize I had to trust in God and His ways were not my ways. It was hard to not loose hope and think 'Why is this happening to me when all these other babies get to come home fine?' We are mere pieces in God's puzzle of life and He has total control of it. Then why would He let bad things still happen to us? He will not give us more than we can handle and we can come out of a trial better and stronger after all of the tears, pain, and heartache if we turn to Him. I have been blessed with a miracle and I will never take life for granted again. Sometimes a thousand sleepless nights is what it takes to know God is there and that He is a part of our life. Sometimes life's hardest trials are His blessings in disguise. Thank you for reading this and being apart of our journey! I can not thank everyone enough that prayed, sent notes, fasted, and kept us in thier thoughts while Boston was in the hospital. Boston has come so far and these pictures are from a month ago for his 6 month mark. He is a happy and healthy baby and I have much to be grateful for.
God bless and Happy Monday! "Even the darkest nights turn into dawn for the faithful." Evan A. Schmutz This mommy and me session back in Thatcher Arizona was such a blast! Everett just turned 14 months and is such a handsome cutie!! He was a ball full of energy and definitely kept me on my toes! ;) Everett loved running away from all of us in the grass as fast as he could! His outfit was to DIE for, and his gorgeous mommy did an awesome job picking it out! Megan brought an adorable jacket and hat and Everett thought it was funny to try to take them both off as fast as he could, and it turned into a little game. Put the hat on, one two three pictures and it was off again. Glad I was able to get some pictures with it on because it made Everett even cuter!! Megan would tell Everett to give her a hug and it was so cute to watch him squeeze her so tight and mush his face up to hers. The love between a mother and child is so precious, special, and unlike any other. Being a new mother myself, discovering this love when I had my son was an amazing feeling. I would do anything for him and he is my everything. Becoming a mother came quickly and unexpectedly to me at a time I thought I was not ready to be one. I felt unprepared as well as nervous but the moment my Boston was born, everything kicked in and I felt so grateful to be his mother. I am so happy I got to be apart of capturing this adorable mommy and me session while having so much fun! You are so lucky to be a mamma to such a cutie Megan! Megan's super cute shirt is from: The Wear I was so excited to visit my family back in Thatcher Arizona this past week, but I was more excited when I knew I would be doing what I love-taking pictures! My husband and I have known Sharon and Sean for almost two years when we were in the same marriage class in college together. We were both engaged and so excited to start the next chapter of our lives as we had fun while learning so much in that class. I was so thrilled when Sharon contacted me to do their first family pictures because I knew they had added not one new addition to their family, but TWO! Two of the sweetest girls at that! Hadley and Braylee were so precious and did amazing for being only two months old and so new to the world. Their outfits were to DIE for and I could not get enough of them. I hardly put my camera down and just loved every second being with this adorable family. These two cuties hardly cried and actually followed me and my camera with their eyes wherever I went, it was the cutest thing!! Taking their family pictures made me want a little girl so badly and excited for hopefully when I get to have one someday and dress her up all cute and pretty. Sharon and Sean are definitely super parents and I give them props for juggling two jobs and being parents to their little ones! Being blessed with these two angels means the rest will be a piece of cake right? ;)
I am so ecstatic I was able to document this family's first pictures together and see the love they have for each other. Congrats on your little ones you two, they are darling and you guys rock being parents to twins!! Brooklee is so excited to be eight years old and is getting baptized next month! It was so special to take her session at the Gila Valley Temple, and besides a little wind it was the perfect day. Brooklee told her mom she was so excited to take pictures by herself and that she felt so special; it was the cutest thing. Brooklee is the sweetest little girl and is a great example to her younger sisters and brother. I am also the oldest of my family (six girls) and know it is not always the easiest. Your siblings shadow you and look to you as an example for everything and that can be a lot of pressure sometimes!! You are expected to be responsible and well behaved at all times. I bet Brooklee has no problem with this at home though ;) Brooklee was the perfect model and we had such a great time! She would say "How about this pose?" or "I want to do this! That will look GOOD! " It was so fun to be around such a sweet girl. I'm so excited for her and proud of her choice to be baptized.
I was able to take some pictures for Levens, a local store here in Logan Utah! Levens is a men's and women's clothing store and also a bridal and tux shop for weddings. They are all about promoting modesty as well as being stylish. I love dresses but love them even more when they work for every occasion and are cute and comfortable! The dresses modeled are some current popular dresses and a few upcoming new dresses for fall. The models were perfect and we had a blast shooting down main street in Logan. Finding this alleyway with yummy back light was perfect! The crisp September air weather was wonderful and was just right for taking pictures.
Go check Levens out for all of your special occasions needs whether it be a wedding dress, tux or suit for a wedding, bridesmaid dresses, missionary attire, or church wear. And contact me for any commercial or product shoots to advertise for your own business! Love this adorable little family! It was their first time taking pictures as a family, and they nailed it. Kalee and me have been friends for over 10 years now and it has been so fun to watch our little families grow. Her husband Spencer is in my husbands grade and are also friends and we are all from the same hometown! We both started dating each other at the same time and would hang out together and plan group dates that were lots of fun. Kalee and Spencer got married a week after us and we have all been friends together ever since. We both got pregnant and our due dates were 2 months apart, well that is would have been two months apart if my baby Boston had stuck to the plan ;) He surprised us all and scared us all at the same time being born 10 weeks early. Their little boy's name is Bryson and is just as cute as can be. He already has two teeth and is only 3 months old! It has been so fun both living here in Logan and I can not wait to do play dates soon! So excited to continue to watch our families grow and let the fun times begin!
I could not wait to blog the rest of these darling photos. Baby Avaery was just the cutest little model and was such a joy to take pictures of! The hour drive to Ogden Utah was totally worth it! Seeing little Avaery made me miss my seven month old being that small and made me a little baby hungry...BUT I'm still wanting to wait a while for the next one ;) I am so torn between wanting my little Boston staying little forever and being so excited for upcoming milestones he will hit! I am excited for the walking, talking, playing, saying I love you back, park dates, and lots more!
There is definitely a sweet presence when a new baby is brought into a family. People act a little differently and you seem to appreciate the little things more. Such a sweet spirit is there! I love being around it. I feel so privileged I got to document this sweet little family's moments together as they introduced little Ava to the world. Kellie and Matt are the sweetest to her and are going to be great parents! Congrats again guys on your new little addition! :) This fairy tale wedding was such a dream to shoot at the Riter Mansion in Logan Utah! Being new to the area, I had never seen this wedding venue even only living just minutes away from it and had never come across it. Documenting Hannah getting ready was so special and she had her mother and two sister helping her. She was nervous but so excited as her stomach filled with butterflies. As she came out with her dress on, jaws were dropping as hugs and tears were exchanged by everyone. Such a sweet moment to witness! While Hannah was putting her finishing touches on, Saj was just rooms away doing the same of getting ready with his parents and best man. His parents were so happy for him and told him how proud they were of him. Everyone was seated for the ceremony and it was time to begin! All heads turned in awe as Hannah the beautiful bride approached Saj while linking arms with her mom and dad. The amount of guest was small and intimate and the ceremony was so beautiful! Saj and Hannah looked so happy and there were many tears shed by family members as they gave their congratulations to the newly wed couple. The reception hall was divine and decorated so perfect. Congrats again guys, happy three week anniversary! So happy for you both as you start your new journey of life together!
More from my class in Malad Idaho! Kassy modeled for the Senior shoot part of the session and rocked it!!! Kimber's Makeup Artistry did Kassy's makeup and she did such a good job! Kassy looked stunning. She is already super gorgeous and was a natural at modeling. She practically did not have to be told what to do and just naturally fell into a pose. Her outfit was perfect for the upcoming fall season and plaid definitely does her good! Her outfit made me all giddy and excited for fall. Back at home in Arizona we do not have much of a fall, or seasons for that matter. There are two seasons in AZ, hot and less hot! Nervous and excited for the cold here in Utah in my new home.
So glad I was able to get to know Kassy and take pictures of her beautiful face. Love doing Senior sessions! Happy Monday everyone! Scroll down and enjoy :) Last session from my workshop in Malad Idaho, and what better way to end with than an engagement session! Billie and Kolton were all giggles as they were in their own little world of bliss and were so fun to take pictures of. The location was perfect for this western session and had plenty of room for horses. Having never photographed with horses in the mix, I was a little nervous but they were very trained and did just what Billie and Kolton told them to. When I was younger I used to be terrified of horses but I am slowly but surely getting over my fear and felt safe being around them this time!
Billie and Kolton had recently got engaged just a week before and could not have been happier. For many of the poses Kolton was asked to whisper in Billie's ear while she looked at the camera and when he did Billie could not contain her laughter and neither could the rest of us! These two were such a joy to be around and I am so glad I was able to meet them and talk with them! Congrats on the engagement, you two are just the cutest! I recently was able to go to a class taught by Katie Van Dyke in Malad Idaho and it was a blast! We started with practicing shooting a family session with the cutest models ever! The Daniels family could seriously be in a magazine. Lacey and Kooper are the cutest parents to their little Adilee. Adilee was tricky to get to look at the camera at first, but by the end of it she was loving it! I even got a couple adorable smiles in there! She was obsessed with the grass in the fields and loved playing with them. There were some horses there for another couple and Adilee was so interested with them. Her daddy Kooper put her on top of one and she loved it! She is a little daredevil and tried to jump off herself but Kooper saw it coming and she jumped into his arms. I could take pictures all day of this picture perfect family. So glad you guys were able to come model and I am so happy I could meet you and your little family!
As summer is coming to an end and fall is approaching, I stare at these pictures and remember how hot this wedding was a couple of weeks ago. Jen and Tate were troopers for their Ogden Wedding! They had lots of family and friends come to support them as you can see from their big group picture. I loved seeing the families' faces as they came out of the temple and everyone cheered and could not wait to congratulate them with hugs and praise. Jen was just exquisite and looked so beautiful! I loved Tate's skinny flower tie and that is the third wedding I've been to where the groom wore one. They are super in right now ladies, so convince your finances to wear them because they look so classy when matched with the colors! I was able to second shoot with Kallie Cordon of Kallie Cordon Photography and had a blast! I loved all the summer weddings I was able to go to, but am excited to not melt while anxiously waiting for the bride and groom to come out this fall! I loved I was able to attend this blissful morning and capture these two lovebirds!Introducing the Fitts Family! Jessica Fitts won a free session of her pick of a giveaway I did earlier this month and I was so excited to take their pictures! She is from my same home town also! Such a small world! They live in Provo so we met up in Murray at the beautiful Murray City Park and it was so pretty! I loved how formal they were, and the kids outfits were to die for! Blake in her tutu was too cute to handle and Nixon looked so handsome in his suspenders and bow tie. These little kids were full of energy and were hard to catch and snap a picture of but it made it all the more fun! So glad I got to meet you and take your family pics! Thanks guys!
Kellie and Matt are the cutest couple and are going to make the cutest parents! Kellie is due in two weeks with a baby girl. I know Kellie personally because my husband is good friends with her family and her brother is his best friend. She is from and grew up in my same home town, Thatcher Arizona. I went to Kellie and Matt's sealing when they got married and had to opportunity to take their family pictures later on! Their maternity session was taken at the Ogden Botanical Gardens and it is just beautiful there! They are just the sweetest and it has been so fun to watch them from being engaged, married, and expecting. Congrats guys! You are going to be the best parents :)
When I think of Ashley and Jaden, I think of genuine smiles and laughter. You could tell these two are best friends and so in love! Ashley and Jaden are in the midst of planning their big day in Logan Utah for next summer and could not be more excited. They are planning on doing a lot of it themselves and are saving up which I think is a smart thing to do. My wedding consisted of lots of Pinterest DIY ideas that finally came to life and I loved how it turned out. Pinterest will be your best friend for wedding ideas!!
The lighting of the session became magical as the clouds covered the sun and became soft and intimate. Perfect for great pictures!! I love when two people in love are so comfortable with each other, and that is exactly how these two were. I was so happy when Jackie Siggard of Jackie Siggard Photography let me come along and capture some priceless moments of these two I will never forget. A year will come quicker than you know it guys! So ecstatic for these two lovers! |
