updates are here!

i know i've been talking about updates forever, but i'm finally getting them up! i added some cute newborn and engagement shots, but my favorite section that i've updated so far is the family "together" section. i left a few of my favorites, and switched out the rest. what i've got now completely defines the type of family work i LOVE to do. the candid, imperfect, beautiful relationships are what i really strive to capture with each family shoot. here are a couple of my favorites, but make sure to check out all the new stuff on my website!

the hunt family

the hunts are good friends of ours from california. they come out every once in awhile to visit, and when they knew they were planning a trip, we decided it was a perfect time to get their first family portraits done! little logan is almost 6 months, and it was so fun to finally get to see them!

tiny little boys!

how cute are these little boys?! i always enjoy shooting brand new babies - and two is even better! i also put in a couple of their gorgeous mom because she was just so sweet with them!

the relationship between twins is always so sweet, and i love how comfortable they are when they are all cuddled up together.

the severson family

this was my last california shoot over christmas break. we met at the oceanside pier, and were worried about the rain, but fortunately, it held out and gave us some amazing clouds! i love the blue eyes!

sadie and tatum

i was able to do portraits of twin girls the other day. i have to say - i admire all those moms of multiples because i can't even imagine how much work it is! but they are so precious together, so it must have equal rewards!

after a couple snack breaks, they both fell asleep, and then they were out for good!



i love how they are so happy when they're close together.

a little sleepy one

he really was so sleepy! little michael woke up at the end of almost an hour of moving him around, changing clothes, diaper on and off, swaddling and un-swaddling! and i really enjoyed talking with his mom since he was so quiet and peaceful!

the fields

i am getting such cute families lately! the fields also came down and met me at the beach. miles was SUPER SMILEY and so much fun. it was pretty windy, but they were great sports about it.


i'm having way too much fun with the sun going down on the beach, and enjoy experimenting! :)



miles just wanted to kiss his mom instead of looking at me

as a rule, i'm pretty sure all kids try to sneak a taste!








thanks again for making the long drive!

annjalee is here!

you may remember michelle's maternity shoot from a couple months ago... and annjalee has finally arrived! she was SO tiny and had a full head of thick hair. michelle had tons of beautiful blankets to play around with, which gave us some fun backgrounds.

the lebaron family

i met the lebaron's at an AMAZING house in holladay. we did a lot of fun family pictures that i love! i do a couple posed portraits, but i love the more natural ones, so you'll notice on my blog that i usually post those. we got a lot of unique family portraits with the lebarons...








it was unusually hot while i was in utah, and it was a little much during this session, so we headed inside. i loved the light in this room with all the windows and the stained glass!






so happy with dad!

griffin

today i did newborn portraits of griffin. he is the youngest of five kids, and they are all very excited to have him! all the kids were very helpful during the shoot - getting blankets, pulling out the binky, or just trying to make griffin happy.

we pulled the binky out of his mouth, and his little lips kept sucking!


i loved this big yawn!







the rest of the kids...

anna

i did portraits of anna on friday. her mom wanted a very casual, natural session, so we just enjoyed the park near their home and let anna crawl around. she just barely started walking, so she took a couple steps for me, but she was a fast crawler!






anna had fun doing itsy bitsy spider with her mom!





and one HUGE kiss for mom!

kinsley is 1!! (and happy mother's day) ;)

i was so excited to do portraits with the smith family yesterday. i did their christmas photos at the end of the year, and they are such a great family! this was kind of a combination shoot - kinsley just turned one, so there was family around, and kris decided to get everyone together for her mom's mother's day gift.

if anyone saw their portraits at the end of the year, i chased grant around while he chased bunnies around at a scottsdale resort. literally - i chased him around the entire time! now he is in to chasing birds, so he kept running after the geese and ducks.


the birthday girl! this is one of the reasons why i love photographing this family - even as a baby, kinsley will turn and smile AT THE CAMERA. i love it!





grandma...

i just love little profiles!

after the group shots, we played on the playground.






and climbed trees...


and i caught some sweet moments in between...


thanks guys - it was so good to work with you again!
