This senior session hit a little differently this time, this is another of my beautiful nieces and she's a senior! We explored several locations for her session, and she made every single one look effortless. She’s a natural in front of the camera, and the number of gorgeous shots we captured made narrowing them down nearly impossible… so you get to see plenty. Hard to believe she’s a senior already. Feels like yesterday she was brand new to the world, and now she’s ready to take it on.

Fifty years of marriage is something truly special, and the Huntsmans wear it with such grace and joy. They celebrated their 50th anniversary with a getaway and a beautiful couple session, capturing the love that has carried them through every season. Honored to document this incredible milestone.

This extended family session was such a joy to photograph. Their reunion brought generations together, and you could feel the fun and love in every interaction. Even when a little rain surprised us, they stayed positive, flexible, and full of smiles. Generations of love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos.

What a treat spending time with the Ottley family while they were all gathered for their daughter’s wedding this past weekend. They were an absolute dream — gracious, fun, and truly beautiful in every way.
I’m so grateful I got to capture this milestone for a family I adore so much.

I adore this family. They’ve trusted me with their memories for years, and every session with them is pure fun. Their oldest was home for a short trip, and with their youngest son leaving on his mission soon, it was the perfect time to freeze a few more moments together and the last photo shows how fun they are. Grateful for clients who become friends and for families who make my job feel like a gift.

Baylee was absolutely breathtaking in every setting we explored. From the quiet strength of her shots with the horse, to the canyon & mountains with flowers and water, to the elegance of her toe shoes; she brought beauty and grace, to every single frame.

If you have a 2027 senior, now is the perfect time to get on the calendar. These moments deserve to be captured while the summer/fall light is at its best.

Last family post for tonight! This stunning family is also getting ready to send off a missionary to Las Vegas soon, it’s definitely been a theme with my sessions lately. So many amazing families preparing to send their kids out to serve, and I’ve loved capturing these moments before they leave.

The Ivans family brought so much fun energy and so many creative ideas to their session. They made the evening easy, lively, and honestly such a blast. I absolutely loved it. With a full schedule this month, I feel incredibly lucky to have had families like this; joyful, kind and effortless to photograph.

I wanted to get these posted before the holiday weekend with my own family. Enjoy this little sneak peek of their session!

I had the chance to photograph one of my longtime repeat families this week, and it reminded me again why I love what I do. I’ve been capturing their crew for quite a few years now, and they are always such a joy, easygoing, photogenic, and full of genuine love for each other, even with our band luck on picking days with decent weather to take them, this time wasn't as bad as the last so hopefully next time is even better.

With their daughter leaving on her mission soon, we squeezed in a mix of family photos and missionary pictures before she heads out. I’m so glad we made it happen. These moments before a mission feel extra meaningful, and this family makes every session feel special.

Here are just a few favorites I wanted to get posted before I head to a family reunion tomorrow. Thanks for trusting me to capture these special memories for you again!

This wonderful family squeezed in a last‑minute session with me this past weekend before their missionary heads out to Australia, I believe she leaves today. I’m so glad we made it happen. They are such a beautiful, photogenic, and genuinely fun family, and you can feel how close they are in every image.

We even had a few horses wander into the background, which made the photos feel extra special and perfectly “them.” And to top it all off, we were lucky enough to catch the most stunning sunset at the end of their session, the kind that makes you stop for a second and just breathe it in.

I loved capturing these moments for them before their daughter begins this amazing new chapter. Wishing her all the best as she heads out to serve.

Jessa and Alex’s wedding day was one for the books. From their beautiful Temple sealing to the super fun reception that followed, every moment felt full of love, laughter, and celebration. Their cake and flowers were absolutely stunning, the dancing was fun, and the night ended with fireworks lighting up the sky, literally. Even the cops stopped by just to watch the show.

It was such an honor to capture their day from start to finish. These two are so easy to celebrate, and seeing their families and friends come together made it even sweeter.

Congratulations, Jessa and Alex. What an unforgettable beginning to forever.
