Nay Family | Richfield Family Photographer

I love photographing the Nay family.  They make me laugh and have me in stitches during the whole session.  They always show up relaxed, smiling, and ready for fun.  That's what a family session should be all about. 

I bet one or two of the out-takes will even make their way to their family room wall...they were my favorites too! 

Can YOU pick out the characters in the bunch?

Cody & Chelsea = Together Forever

Guess what Cody & Chelsea did on their first anniversary?  Yep, you got it.  They chose to be sealed forever in the St. George LDS Temple.  What a perfect day to do it too...09-10-11.  I bet they will never forget that date!

I was envited to attend their beautiful ceremony and I shed a few tears of joy for them.   Her mom and I share the common crying gene!  And, we're proud of it!  LOL

Thanks Cody and Chelsea for letting me share in your memorable day.

The Black Family | Richfield Family Photographer

I've gotten to photograph this darling little family twice now and can't believe how much these two little angel girls have grown up.  They both have the bluest, pretties eyes and amazing smiles...even with teeth missing! 

Dad requested that I leave the cows in the family portraits, but there was one that was nosey and got a little close as we were snapping images.  I had to make her disappear!  LOL  Thank goodness for Photoshop!

Taylor & Jessie | Utah Bridal Photographer

I have to say...Taylor and Jessie's Wedding day was "epic!"  Yes, I guess my new younger friends are telling me that "epic" has now replaced "awesome."  Well, there are not enough awesomely epic words to describe the details that went into this wonderfully planned day.  From a gorgeous bride and very handsome groom to the little details such as yellow cuff links, a beautiful custom hair piece for the bride, a floral purse-like bouquet, and everything in coordinating black, yellow, and white. 

Almost everything for the fun reception was hand-made.  From the playful tissue paper puffs and wire wrapped mason jars with candles hanging from the trees, the bread and scrumptous jam served as a special treat for guests, the many wonderful flavors of lemonade, and the quilts and pillows for guests to sit and enjoy a video of the happy couple.  It was a fantastic evening full of many wonderful friends and the joining of two incredible families. 

Congratulation Tay and Jess!  I hope the rays of happiness shine on your two forever and ever.  Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your "epic" day! 

It's all about Family | Utah Family Photographer

It seems like the cooler, crisp air of fall always ushers in the "family" season.  I photograph more families in the fall than all the other seasons combined.  It's my absolute favorite time of the year as the colors are so vibrant and nature provides so many wonderful textures. 

The wind was blowing so fiercly on the day I got to photograph the Sorenson family that we had to find a windbreak to protect them.  I love this old wall and it provided the protection we needed to capture their gorgeous family.   I love the serious expressions of their handsome guys and just couldn't resist sharing a few.

Megan | Utah Bridal Photographer

What can I say about Megan?  Vivacious, FUN, extraordinary, charismatic, fun, sassy, and did I mention FUN?  I knew when she got engaged that her wedding would be fabulous.  Her dress was a custom designed original by the wonderful Norma Christensen and just wait until you see the details of her wedding and reception.  She was the most beautiful bride and you can just see in the pictures that she had the perfect attitude to pull off those awesome cowboy boots.  Love you Megan!
