Daybreak Family Session, Hannah & Henry

In your career, do you have moments where you're like "this is why I love my job?" That's what this session was for me. I had the opportunity of photographing these two at their wedding 4 years ago! 😱For me, there is no greater feeling than having a repeat client, even better? Seeing a past bride and photographing her new little one.

Sloan Family Session at Big Cottonwood Canyon- Fall 2019

It's no secret that Big Cottonwood Canyon is a popular spot for photos. It's one of those spots that you can go to, and know the photos will be beautiful because it's perfect ALL YEAR LONG! You want snow? Got it. Want pretty greens and gorgeous views? Done. You want beautiful fall leaves? Fall has you covered. I wasn't surprised when Emily said she wanted her family sessions done at the gorgeous mountain location and I was all for it!

I met this adorable family through my little men. I took my boys in to the dentist and that's how I met the dad (Bart). I mentioned in a conversation that I'm a photographer and this is our 3rd session together! Photography is a true passion of mine and it always amazes me how it helps me connect with the best people!

DALLIANCE BESPOKE DELIVERS UNIQUE BRIDAL STYLE | Great Saltair Bridals

I'm so terrible at keeping you all updated and sharing my amazing sessions. Fear not! That is a permanent work in progress for me haha. This is one of my favorite styled sessions and I'm so happy I got to do it before the cold rolled in. We did this session at Great Saltair which is always a gorgeous location with a beautiful sunset almost EVERY single night.

Brooklyn & Elijah Meridian Idaho Temple Exit | Idah Wedding Photographer

Every now and then, you meet people in your life without truly knowing the impact they'll have in your life. I met Maci a few years at my first weekend workshop hosted by Kylee. Little did I know these ladies that I'd spend a few days with, would be long term friends. 

I've been wanting to do an out of state wedding for a while now but just like everything else, it didn't get all of my focus because my to-do list is a mile long. Until I got an email from Cortnee asking me if I was free to do her sisters wedding in Idaho. Something had happened with their original photographer and her friend Maci, recommend me. My answer? HECK YES! 

I immediately contacted Maci to thank her for recommending me. Word of mouth is so incredibly important but another photographer recommending you? The biggest compliment I could ever receive. 

To make it that much better, their family was so amazing and I was able to stay with their aunt Julie who was so AWESOME and truly made me feels so welcome. The day of the wedding was a bit hectic so Julie was kind enough to take me back to the temple the next day before I left and I'm so glad she did! The temple was empty and I got the most beautiful photos. 

April 2019 Mini Sessions

This year I wanted to do something different when it came to my mini sessions. So I held minis in an all white studio that has some fun moveable walls in Sandy, Utah. Normally, a majority of the studios I like to use are located in Downtown Salt Lake City but this one was perfect because it's right off the freeway and closer to me :) 

The weather lately has been so nutty and unpredictable that I wanted something a little bit more predictable. The studio was the perfect solution! I also wanted to do something more affordable for families that just wanted a few photos since I get that request so often.

First up was Laura and her hubby. She's so funny, when I posted the information about about my spring mini sessions she asked "can puppies come, he's like my puppy." My response? Of course! 

3 ways to thank your photographer

Being a small business owner, a photographer or someone that offers a service, knowing your customer is happy is the BEST feeling in the world. As a consumer myself, I never realized the importance of thanking someone. Especially in an age where it can be done so easily, why not help someone with their business?
