Spencer family "sneak peak"

How georgous is this family!!?

It is so great when I get to hang out with old friends. This is the family of a girl I worked with at a previous job. She is such a fun girl and georgous to boot, get a load of those eyes. Her brother was leaving on his mission 3 days later to one of my favorite places in the world.....Seattle, Washington. (I've gotta a say I'm a little jealous.) This family was a lot of fun to work with. Although I don't think the boys wanted to be there very badly...which is not unusual for boys I guess.

Thanks so much for choosing me to take your family pictures, I hope you like them. Also big "shout out" to her sister-in-law's parents for letting us use their property to take the pictures. It was perfect, too bad all the leaves fell of the trees a few days before we got there. Notice they are all on the ground HAHA!

Stone Family

I had so much fun doing this shoot. This is my amazingly beautiful cousin and her sweet family. Her daughter is the most precious little angel ever. She just grinned the whole time and was so good..and patient. Her little boy had more energy then 20 people combined I think. He absolutely loved getting his picture taken. Everytime I put the camera up to my face he would stop what he was doing, say "cheese" and give me the biggest grin. We did this shoot up Hobblecreek Canyon.

Thanks for letting me capture these memories for you!

This picture shows what kind of energy this little guy had!

I had to post this one to show you the completely adorable ponytail on top of her head....so cute!

This picture of her and her son was completely spontaneous and I think it's my favorite of the bunch.


GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

B B & Q

This is my niece and the couple that is adopting her baby boy. I was so excited to be able to do this for them. They are going to be the best parents. This is the shoot that inspired me to do adoption photography. We did this in two shoots. The first one was at the historic Garden Ward Chapel in SLC the second one was in the foothills in Pleasant Grove.

Hope you like them!!

Good times at the park!

We had a lot of fun at the park the other day. My daughter Kalysta and I were watching my niece and nephews and it's always easier at the park. They are so much fun to take pictures of. Check out the awesome rainboots on the youngest. He is such a hoot. Love it!!

They talked me into it!!

Well after a lot of persuasion from family and friends, I've decided to start my photography business. I'm really excited about this. I love everything about photography from scoping out new locations, to taking the pictures, to editing them, but mostly seeing the reaction I get when people see their photos. I have done mostly landscape photography (because the landscape doesn't complain when they see me coming with my camera....again). However I've really enjoyed developing my skills as a portrait photographer.

I don't want to take your average everyday portraits. I am hoping to bring your personality to life in a photo, so that when you look at it you know exactly what that person is like. I really like to snap the candid shots where you are just being yourself.

I'm not an expert photographer but I certainly do enjoy it.

Wish me luck!!!
