New Favorite Color Scheme: Utah Family Photography

This was a fun session several weeks ago (remember my hubs and I share a computer. . . and he has every stinking minute right now for his studies. . .alas). The problem with this shoot was that there were lots of great photographs, too many :)

I really like the styling, I love the coral and navy clothes with the cream and gray backdrops.

This family is adorable, Little A is a super model in the making and was so good for photos and Tiny T is precious. I think Mom is simply an amazingly positive, kind, stylish person. . . a good example to me. They were all really easy going, and relaxed :)

A Blustery Farewell: Utah Family Photography

I took a group family picture a few weeks ago in honor of the fellow pictured above. He left on his LDS mission this week and his family wanted one last group photograph before his impending 2 year absence.

The weather was terribly uncooperative. . . the wind was fierce and frigid. The picture below is a good illustration.

But look how hard the grand kids are trying to smile in the next photograph.

Here's our best. . . yes the hair is wild and wind blown. . .well, that's the truth of the blustery day. But they all look great considering how cold they are, not to mention the dust blowing into their eyes :)

And these last 2 photographs are fun.

all in all not bad, it was crazy cold. good thing the people were awesome!

December Sealing at Salt Lake City Temple: Utah Family Photography

Finally I can post these pictures! It's taken me a while to get caught up after the holidays.

This adorable family was sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple in December. I loved having the opportunity to photograph such a special occasion. This family is so fun and so easy going. It's easy to make photographs with them :)

Thanks for having me there!

AND we close with this. . . session favorite!

My Last Shoot of the Year: Utah Family Photography

Look carefully behind mom's head in the picture below. . . and in the next one he was caught!



So for the next few months I'll be taking a little break from photography, to regroup, and get things in order in my house, and enjoy the holidays with a little less 'to-do's' This was an awesome session to end the year with. This family was a joy to be around and had a great sense of humour. Their shots turned out so pretty with all the fall leaves on the ground.

Smiles, Giggles, and Lovely Yellow: Utah Family Photography

This session was up American Fork Canyon. I am pretty sure this area (all of upper AF Canyon) is my new favorite location for fall pictures. The yellow leaves are so bright and vibrant and make for such a pretty backdrop. I was a little liberal with allowing sun flare, backlight and warm rays to wash over the lens for these photographs. I wanted to capitalize on the yellow hues and create some sunny pictures. The kids were so fun, they were so good and smiled plenty. Some of their sibling shots are my favorite sibling shots I have ever taken.






I think the mountain makes for a cool backdrop below.






I think this next couple picture is so cute. I love how natural it is.
