amanda + mickie

I haven't posted much in a while, let alone what I actually do for a living so I figured it's time to dive back into this summer and post something. It's just so tempting to post the baby boy that has stolen my heart all day long!

This wedding was a friggin party. I'm talking non-stop laughing, eating, hugging, singing, dancing ... the works! I was floored with how kind everyone was in the Bridal Party. They were all so sweet  to each other and their families and you could just tell this wedding was the merging of two families who couldn't wait to be merged! So sweet. I kinda wish it was the summer again so I could re-live this day, but I suppose this post will have to do!

taylor & bracken | first look & formals

Taylor and Bracken have to be some of the most real people I've ever met. They are young, carefree, madly in love, and are kind in a way that's unique for just about anyone. Here, during this shoot, we did a first look and it took place at the Salt Lake Country Club. We then headed to the Salt Lake LDS Temple for more formal photos and finished the evening off right. It was a laid-back shoot, which I was grateful for. They made my job seem less like work and more like kicking back with old pals.

the hill family

The Hill Family chose Tibble Fork Reservoir as the destination for their family photos! And what a location it was! One of my favorites, by the way. Beautiful scenery and easy to find ... it can't be beat!

The shoot was a success! Noah was energetic and playful and loved being tossed around by his Dad! Lucas was a little snuggle bug and loved to be kissed and hugged and loved blowing the dandelion seeds off the dandelion! When kids are happy it makes my job a lot easier! 

Something I haven't yet mentioned is this family is dear to me .... dear to me because the momma is my cousin! I love her and have enjoyed seeing her get married and have a family of her own! Seeing her happy makes me so, so happy. Love you Anna!

baby owen

Photographing this little man made my entire week! Owen was (and is) a dream baby because he was all ready for his first photo shoot at only two weeks old! His parents, Tawnie and Scott, were so clearly ecstatic about his arrival, and it was so very sweet to see. And their home ... wow ... it was the perfect setting for their newborn and family shoot.

Today these two love-birds sealed the deal (literally) at the gorgeous Salt Lake City LDS Temple! Stephanie and Matt are an adorable couple full of non-stop laughing fits and smiles for days, so spending time with them hardly feels like work! They made my job so easy, so much fun to do. Thank you, Stephanie and Matt, for having me out to document your beautiful event.
