You found my photo blog! Here you'll find my favorite images from recent sessions and even some of my own kiddos at times when they are sweet enough to indulge me shoving my cameras in front on their faces! I am not a good writer, but hopefully the pictures will keep you coming back for more! Thanks to Jean Smith Photography for this image of me and my 2 sweetie pies! Um, probably about time I updated that to include my 3 sweetie pies!!!

If you are interested in having me photograph what means most to you click on "contact me" above to get more details.


I am a Utah photographer that shoots on-location, using natural light 90% of the time. I love photographing newborns, babies, children, families, seniors and weddings! I shoot primarily in Davis, Weber and Salt Lake counties, but will travel anywhere!

Loooong time! No post!

Can you blame me??? This bald little IMG_7218bwwebIMG_7234bwwebIMG_7242bwwebIMG_7204bwwebIMG_7239bwwebIMG_7246bwwebboy of mine is way too much fun and is growing up by the second. My photo blog can be put on hold. My baby can’t. IMG_7215bwweb

The “M” Family

I loved finally meeting this awesome family! We have been emailing back and forth for months trying to work out a date and a location and dealing with bad weather issues. But the day finally came last week….the day before Thanksgiving! It was 70 degrees and perfect shooting weather! Strange for Utah, but perfect for our session!

The camera loves her!

IMG_8115webweb1IMG_8096webI’m pretty sure if I didn’t already have a baby of my own I would have kidnapped her! There is something about newborns that is magical!

Miss Spunky!

When I found out this family was finally getting their baby girl I was so happy for them! We were going to do pictures last fall but she was not quite ready for me (a stranger) to be in her personal space quite yet, so when I met up with them a few weeks ago I was expecting a shy little girl. Oh boy was I sooo wrong! She is a spit fire! Full of energy! I loved her and she even let me hold her and snuggle with her a little bit! IMG_7379web

I felt bad for her mom because she said she is normally so snuggly with her and at the session she didn’t want anything to do with her! But I think by the time the session was over she was exhausted and we finally got some sweet snuggle pictures of mom and daughter.web2IMG_7382bw_web

Dogs vs. Kids

Hmmm….I think this was just the 3rd or 4th session I have done with a family dog and I am not sure if I have to be more obnoxious to get the attention of toddlers or dogs??? It’s probably a toss up and they are both just as fun and just as crazy!

I love this nice family! I have photographed them for 3 years now and either they don’t change, or I am getting older and don’t want to believe anything is changing! ;) IMG_9679ed_webIMG_9718webweb1IMG_9706webIMG_9636web

The “K” Family

What a cute family! Three adorable little tow-headed kiddos! And I am soo happy I have a client with access to this this old truck! I think it made for some fun family pics! If I had a place to store it, I would ask to buy it!! I love the color and the textures!!IMG_9821webIMG_9833webIMG_9893webweb1

The “C” Family

They just got home from Disneyland and I loved mom’s idea to bring their “Mickey Ears.” I love how baby sis is looking at them like, “what kind of family have I gotten myself into?”IMG_9480web :)

Little Peanut, 6 1/2 Days New

I just love how itty bitty this new little peanut looks in this image. Just one of him for now, but lots more to share soon!!!IMG_7547web

Ain’t She Sweet???

Pleasantly Surprised?? [Utah Family Photography]

Ah, what a cute cute family!

Toddlers can be so frustrating during family portraits….when you are the mom and dad! But I love those little stinkers! They might be little, but they have a mind of their own. I love the range of facial expressions with toddlers….they will glare at me, turn away from me, cautiously look at me, laugh at me (if I get loud and crazy enough!), and shyly smile at me. There have been very few times after a session with a toddler (especially 1 and 2 year olds) when a parent wonders if we got any good images. I hope you are pleasantly surprised, “S” family!
