Fall in Cache Valley is always a little unpredictable. The McNeeley family session was a perfect example of how flexibility can lead to something truly beautiful. We originally planned to meet near Mendon to catch the last of the golden leaves. But when dark clouds and rain rolled in, we made a last-minute change that […]

There’s no better way to celebrate turning one than with a colorful, messy, joy-filled cake smash session. Everly’s first birthday shoot at Blush Door Studio in Logan, Utah was full of personality, movement, and the sweetest little expressions.

Photographing another photographer’s family is always such a fun experience, and Stacey’s family session in Preston, Idaho was an absolute highlight. I’ve admired her work for a long time, so finally meeting her in person and capturing her family in this beautiful setting made the session even more special. We spent the evening just outside […]

Few things make a family session feel more meaningful than photographing it on your own land. The Porter family’s session in Preston, Idaho was especially special because we captured their updated family portraits right on their beautiful property—and it was their first time doing so.

The Gardner family […]

At the beach, lighting completely changes the mood, colors, and overall feel of your gallery. The same beach can look bright and airy […]

Some family sessions feel less like work and more like spending an evening with friends. That’s exactly how I would describe the Scott family’s Saltaire family photos. Danielle is a mom of three boys, just like me, so we instantly connected. Throughout the session we spent more time laughing and playing than worrying about poses, […]

Planning Del Mar Beach family photos can feel overwhelming if you’ve never done a beach session before. Families usually have the same questions: What time should we go? Will parking be awful? What if my toddler hates the sand? How crowded does it get? As a San Diego family photographer, I can confidently say Del […]

This maternity family photos in Preston Idaho session with the Funk family felt extra special for me because I’ve photographed this family so many times over the years.

Honestly, Del Mar is one of my favorite locations in San Diego for families with […]

This Wellsville Hills family pictures session for the Shindelar family honestly deserves an award for persistence alone. We had rescheduled these photos three different times since September because of weather, and every single time something came up. Rain. Cold. Wind. Scheduling chaos. You name it. Then we finally landed on a spring date and thought […]
