Ryder's Baptism

This handsome little guy is going to be baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints soon.  He was super cooperative for his pictures.

I had to include this one to prove that as cute as he is and as well as he sat for pictures, that he is in fact an 8 year old boy still. I'm sure he would've rather climbed trees the whole time. :)  I know my boys would.

Lyman Family

I met this family as a referral from another photographer friend and it turns out we live in the same neighborhood, just one block apart but have never met each other. Small world! They were great to work with and Memory Grove's colors did not disappoint. I wish I lived closer to downtown Salt Lake so I could hang out there more often. It's seriously stunning! Especially in fall. I wish it could be fall all year long.

Alibrando Family

One of the best things about being a photographer is getting to see old friends and meeting new ones. I'm always so amazed as I get to know a family better during our shoot at the incredible stories I hear and things I learn about them. This family's sweet baby is already a cancer survivor at 11 months old! I can't even fathom one of my babies going through that. Anyway, he's a pretty sweet little guy and super easy going.  Knowing that about him just endears me to his sweet little smiles even more.

Knighton Family

I've known this wonderful family since we were newly married and their oldest was just a baby. Not only are they a great looking family but they are just as good inside too. Such a pleasure to take their pictures.  April has been cancer free for a year now and I'm loving her cute, short hairdo!  And how cute are these kiddos? Seriously!!!

Oh I love fall... I especially love fall up the canyon. Maybe one of the best parts of this job is getting to see God's beautiful creations and hang out with fun people at the same time.  I'm so lucky that my job doesn't feel like work, just fun and something that makes me happy at the same time like getting to see old friends.

Lowe Family

For having 6 kids this was honestly one of the easier family shoots I've ever done. They came prepared with their favorite aunt and a hand puppet behind me to get and keep the kids attention. And she did! Maybe I'll need to hire her as an assistant. This family is adorable, and I'm calling dibs on their darling girl twins for my twin boys 20 years from now. :)

Fairbairn Family

We used to live in the same neighborhood as the Fairbairns and no one could keep my last name straight from theirs.  So it only seems fitting that we join forces for pictures. :)  I love fall family shoots more than almost anything!
