This session was personal in the best way. Before I joined Kylee Ann Studios, I had my own photography business—and that’s when I first met Stephanie. She originally hired me for brand photography for her coaching business, and over time, she became a mentor who changed the direction of my life. Without her encouragement, I may have never found the courage to reach out to Kylee and join the team. So when she asked me to take her Sandy Utah extended family photography session, it was incredibly special.

We met at Granite Park in Sandy, and it was the perfect mix of late summer and early fall. The mountains provided a gorgeous backdrop, and the pops of wild sunflowers gave everything a soft, glowing finish. It was a morning session—perfect for littles and for capturing that dreamy early light. Everyone came dressed beautifully, and the whole family radiated warmth.

Stephanie’s family was an absolute joy to photograph. The grandparents beamed with pride, the kids laughed and sometimes cried between shots, and every group felt genuinely connected. The session was full of movement, hugs, and laughter—the kind that makes editing feel like reliving the session all over again. Watching the family interact made it easy to capture those tender, unscripted moments that are so meaningful.

This wasn’t just another photo session—it felt like closing a circle and starting a new one. Documenting Stephanie’s growing family was an honor I’ll never forget. It’s proof that connections built in business can become something deeply rooted in gratitude and friendship.
