new puppy | sunny mountains

  This winter has been so crazy.  It has been so WARM here in Salt Lake City.  I know the eastern part of the country has been buried in snow and the Midwest has been frigid (sorry, everyone!).  I usually look back on these fall pictures and long for the sunny, warm weather.  But now…

baby | mountains | sunshine

  I thought I would share some photos from a beautiful, sunny, fall day in Salt Lake City. The end of the year gets super busy and I pretty much shut down shop by early December to focus on the holidays.  When January comes around, I ease my way into the new year (very slowly)…

summer fun

  I’m so glad that more clients decided to head to the mountain for their sessions this year.  I’m from the flat lands of the Midwest, so this scenery is so amazing to me.  The combination of a beautiful family and beautiful scenery obviously make beautiful photographs! A little bit of personality is a bonus!I…

    Thanks so much for sharing such lovely pictures and people. Those children are so beautiful and that little Grace Ann must be one “character”. It’s interesting how the youngest one in the family somehow softens the seriousness of the older sibling…not unlike some other families I am blest to be acquainted with. Have a very happy and holy Christmas. I hope to get some cards sent this year.ReplyCancel
