    Southern Utah Family Photos {The Terry Family}

    January 15, 2015

    Many families come from all around the US and the world to visit Southern Utah. While visiting the area its such a great idea to schedule a family photo session. There is no place like Southern Utah. Weather it be a family session above the towering cliffs of Zion National Park or at of of our serene desert lakes, there are so many places to choose from. The Terry Family decided to do their family photography session in Snow Canyon State Park. I photographed Chris and Ashly’s Wedding in Snow Canyon about a year earlier and was so glad to…

    Amazing Snow Canyon Bridal {Abby+Mike}

    January 5, 2015

    There is not time of year more beautiful in Southern Utah then the fall for wedding photos. At least that is the way felt after photographing this beautiful session with this gorgeous couple. Not so long ago I had the chance to work with Abby and Mike for their engagement photos in Southern Utah. Neither of them live in the area but made the trip for both their engagements and their bridal photos. The wild flowers growing all over the ground is such an amazing contrast to the sage brush, black lava rock and petrified sand dunes of Snow Canyon…

    Fall Pine Valley Engagement Session {Rebecca+Mike}

    November 13, 2014

    I have had the wonderful opportunity to get to know the Childs Family over the years having photographed now three of their daughters. I loved working with Rebecca and Mike for their engagement pictures in Pine Valley Utah. I first meat Rebecca at the wedding of her sister Sarah in Las Vegas a few years back and then got to know her better last year for her sister Jessicas wedding in Las Vegas. These are beautiful and kind people that I just love working with! Rebecca and Mike are truly in love and as so wonderful to hang out with.…

    St George Red Rock Engagement Photos {Shanna+John}

    November 10, 2014

    Many couples travel from all over to come to the breathtaking red rocks of Southern Utah. Shanna & John traveled all the way from Sovanna Georgia one of my favorite areas, to come and do their engagement photos in Snow Canyon State Park. I loved their casual yet dressy southern style. The pink and blue they wore up against the green and red of Snow Canyon was stunning. There are few places as beautiful, and few couples as beautiful either! John is a helicopter pilot for the Army and with that they travel quite a bit. I can’t wait to…

    Pioneer Ruins Engagement {Natalie + Taylor}

    September 20, 2014

    Engagement pictures can be so much fun! Natalie and Taylor are adventurers at heart. They love to go exploring around ghost towns throughout Utah. They loved the idea of doing their engagement photos at this old pioneer farm house ruins in Southern Utah. They are such a cute couple and their love for one another is obvious. I loved their cute style with Natalie’s dress and Taylors Mod black and white dress cloths. The vintage and rustic outdoor vibe make for such a beautiful session. Im so looking forward to photographing their wedding in Northern Utah later this year.

    Sand Dunes Engagement Session {Sarah + Dustin}

    September 13, 2014

    I had the opportunity recently to photograph this lovely couple for their engagement session. A couple years ago I photographed Sarah’s brothers engagement photo session in Snow Canyon. She loved that session so much that she wanted to do her engagement photos in Southern Utah as well. There are so many different spots in the area and I love that we shot in a similar location but with a very different overall feel to the backdrop. Sarah and Dustin are such a beautiful could and I had so much fun laughing and joking around with these two. I loved their…

    High School Senior { Jordan }

    August 30, 2014

    Photographing Seniors for their graduation is so fun. This time of their lives is such a milestone and I love to help them remember it in an artistic way that they and their families can enjoy for years to come. Jordan is a beautiful girl and was great to photograph. Her senior pictures are soft and beautiful which really went along with her personality. Senior Portraits are a session I always enjoy and look forward to. This session in Southern Utah was no exception.

    I love photographing Engaged couples. There really is no happier time the the excitement leading up to a wedding. Kashae and Aaron are such an amazing couple and I absolutely had a blast working with them. Aaron is so funny and cool and Kashae is just so sweet and beautiful. We had a blast! For their engagement photos we really wanted to capture the essence of Southern Utah. The red rocks and rolling desert, and the rivers and ravines. Even a bit of historical rustic architecture as well. I love the landscape of Southern Utah. Its no wonder that so…

    Southern Utah Senior { Cristina }

    July 8, 2014

    Over the years I have had the wonderful opportunity to photograph the Owens girls on several occasions. A couple years ago I did senior photos for Cristina’s Sister Cassidy. Before that their sisters wedding photos several years ago. It is always a treat photographing these beautiful girls. Cristina was so fun to work with and was so great in front of the camera. The family lives in Las Vegas but has family ties to Southern Utah. I loved shooting this rustic St George Senior session and finishing it up at the river. So much fun!!
