These two ladies, Stacey and Kylaya have been friends for years! It was a pleasure to take their senior  pictures for them, laugh with them, and have fun. Wishing these ladies the best senior year ever! Go class of 2016!


Amanda | Fall Mini

Wednesday, November 4, 2015

Between all the craziness I've had these past few weeks, I forgot to put these pictures up! Amanda will sarcastically tell you that she just loves being alone with me and my camera. Despite her broken toe, we had a ton of fun "mini hiking" to get the perfect spot with rocks and cacti and all manner of ants. 

Looking for some Christmas pictures? Keep an eye out for my Christmas Mini sessions, coming soon. 

Waterfall | Big Cottonwood Canyon

It's a sad autumn when the trees don't turn in the mountains. Blame it on the fungus or the lack of snow last winter, but it's still disappointing. I'm hoping I'll be able to catch the tail end of the valley leaves. On the other hand, waterfalls are always pretty!


Thoughts on the Fall Season [Personal Post]

Wednesday, October 28, 2015

Autumn happens to be my most favorite time of the year and my least favorite time of the year.

I don’t look forward to pumpkin spice lattes or Halloween. I don’t like horror movies and bloody masks on children. I don’t like haunted houses. I do look forward to the spirit of the season. I love the fall colors, the cooler weather, and the camaraderie. I love the late night snuggles and drinking hot chocolate with my husband. I enjoy family time, friends, and good books.

Fall is the beginning of the school year, of exams and papers, but this year it’s also the end. With graduation fast approaching I’ve begun to reflect over the (almost) four years I’ve spent at Brigham Young University. This is my last fall walking daily beneath the beautiful colors of campus. It’s the end of a season for me, but the beginning of another.

As I think about this fall, and the gratitude I personally want to express, I challenge you to think about the season. What are you grateful for?

So what does the following image mean to me? Three years ago yesterday, my husband proposed to me so I thought it only fitting to include my ring. The many types of leaves? I've spent years walking to and from campus attending classes and watching the leaves change color. I've smelled the flowers and listened to the birds sing. I watch as the flowers turn to these little berries and wondered why the deer don't eat them. I watch as everything turns and falls. Everything that is but the evergreens. They are a constant reminder that spring is not far off. And when the wind shakes the trees and cones fly from the tree. I'll miss that too. And you can't have an October post without a pumpkin. So on my way home from class, I took a nature walk. I collected bits and pieces reliving memories. Here is my story:


Troy & Katherine | Family Pictures

A few weeks back I had the opportunity to take family pictures for this fun family. Seriously, their kid is supper cute when you get him to laugh at you! I loved being able to take some time and meet old friends again. Here's to love, laughter, and friendship!

Dessina | Family Pictures

Monday, September 14, 2015

A few months back, I donated a few free photo sessions to a Zumba-thon event which benefited the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA). Dessina and her cute little family, were the recipients of one of these free sessions. We took the advantage of a beautiful morning in Liberty Park to have some fun and take a few photos.
