    Logandale Family Photos {Cannon Family}

    September 5, 2013

    Traveling to Logandale to do photos is always great. I have had the opportunity to photograph the Cannon family on a few different occasions. They are an awesome family and so great to work with. They live in Logandale and wanted to have something different then the normal desert look. In Logandale there is an lot pine tree farm that was for a subdivision that never happened. The trees are big and beautiful and are one of my favorite parts of the city.

    Dixie National Forest Engagement { Alexa + Matt }

    September 2, 2013

    Matt and Alexa were a really fun engagement couple to photograph. They are both so energetic and it was easy to feel how in love they are with each other. Matt is a firefighter for the National Park Service so it was only fitting to have their engagement session out in nature among the beautiful pinewood forest. Looking forward to taking the bridal photos of Alexa and then their wedding photos in Kanab, Utah.

    Southern Utah Forest Engagement {Taylor + Chase}

    July 16, 2013

    Photographing engagement sessions has got to be one of my favorite things. Taylor and Chase’s engagement session in Pine Valley in Southern Utah was so much fun. I had meat Chase before as he works for Forevermore Events. He is such a humble and nice guy. Taylor was equally nice, and together they were so much fun. I love to get to know the people I am photographing and feeling like they are great friends by the time the session is over. The fact that we have pine trees and a forest within reach of St George is awesome. These…

    Snow Canyon Red Rock Engagement {Allison + Keaton}

    May 13, 2013

    Allison and Keaton wanted to take advantage of the beautiful red rock and canyons of Snow Canyon State Park for their engagement pictures. Its no secret that Snow Canyon is one of my favorite areas in Southern Utah. Just outside of St George in Ivans, Snow Canyon provides amazing canyons, vistas, lava flows, and dunes, and even some lava caves. When a couple is looking for an amazing desert location for their photos, Snow Canyon is always on the top of my list! Even if you are not in the market for  wedding photos any time soon, be sure to…

    Pacific Beach Family Pictures { Jamie + Anne }

    January 20, 2013

    About 6 Months ago I had the awesome opportunity to photograph Jamie & Anne and their cute family before the newest addition arrived. I was so glad that they loved their photos enough to have be come back and photograph their family again in San Diego. We started at their house  in PB just hanging out on the bed doing pics of them playing with their kids and ended up at the beach down the road. When I go and have fun in the ocean I love a sandy beach, but for the purpose of these photos and keeping the kids…

    San Diego Family Photos { Ellis Family }

    June 3, 2012

    The Ellis Family are just so fun. I photographed Katie and Scotts Wedding years ago and was so excited to do their family pictures in San Diego while we were down. It was a quick session in Carlsbad near the beach. They are some of the kindest people you will ever meet and are such a beautiful couple as well. When photographing a family I really try to capture the family dynamic that is unique to them. I love the bright colors that they also had for these family portraits

    Pacific Beach Park Family { Anne + Jamie }

    May 7, 2012

    Photographing Anne and Jamie and their little family in Pacific Beach was such a great time. We did their family pictures at the park near their house. As is normally the case in San Diego the weather was perfect and I loved the soft light coming in through the trees in the park.  Anne will be having their second baby soon and I hope we will be able to photograph their family again in the future. They are so great to work with and I had a wonderful time with them!

    Silver Reef Utah Family Photos {Moore Family}

    December 10, 2011

    Silver Reef Utah is one of my favorite places to do photos and The Moore Family is absolutely one of my favorite families to photograph. I first started doing their family pictures in 2009 in Saint George. We met up later that same year and photographed them at the beach in Encinitas in San Diego County. Last I worked with them was at Spring Mountain Ranch in Las Vegas where we did their family photos. This is such a special family. It has been so fun getting to know them better over the years. They are amazing to work with…

The couple came out for their destination wedding from the East Coast as did all of their friends and family. I love doing pictures of people that just love having fun. That was this group to a T.

    Spring Mountain Ranch Family {Moore Family}

    October 20, 2010

    The Moore Family asked me about doing their family photos someplace outside of Utah and California. Spring Mountain Ranch in Las Vegas came to mind. Spring Mountain Ranch is a beautiful oasis near the red rock park in Las Vegas. This is my third time working with this awesome family. The first time was in Santa Clara Utah and the second in Encinitas California. I love seeing their kids grow up and their wonderful family dynamic. They are so fun to work with.
