When Heather asked me to do their family photos again, I knew exactly what I wanted to try with them, as they are a family that LOVES books. So to open our session I asked them to each bring their favorite childrens book. Max knows his by heart and recited the delightful phrases. Heather has great suggestions with books that she mentions on her blogs. I haven’t read “How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?” Looks like I’ll have to check it out too!



I’m so happy that my Utah trip coincided with being able to get these family pictures done for some dear friends. I’ve known them since my college days, which now seems so long ago. I worked with their dad, and had lunch with their mom, back before any kids were in tow. Now we’re both building families of boys.
I found a quote the other day that I love.
It takes two boys to make one brother. Well this family has just welcomed their fourth brother.
Thank you! It was a pleasure spending the time with you.

Here is an afternoon with Max, grown a year older. It’s so fun to see how past clients have changed. And really what an honor it is to have repeaters, that they invested in me over the years. I’m glad we could make it work to get together in Utah, and I hope they’ll say this was their best shoot yet.
We went to the perfect place for Max to roam around, and throw rocks and ride his little bike. I so love the beautiful outdoors.





Little boy profiles are so adorable to me.


And this one’s for the parents, as we chuckle…because it happened last time too.

I had a few cancellations-
Cancellations make me sad.
So, I’m happy to let you know I have August 11th and 12th open for Utah sessions. Please send me an email to discuss our booking!

And on a fun note:
Whenever I ask Jack a question, it could be- Do you want to eat breakfast? Do you want to take a bath? Do you want to play with Daddy? He says “nooo” and shakes his head. This just evolved this week and it cracks me up. I asked him if he wanted to climb a mountain? “nooooo” Do you want to watch TV all day? “noooo”. Do you want a baby brother? “nooooo”. We’re having too much fun with this.

I’m trying out the lighting on our back porch and I think it does pretty good. But I could do without the heat. We only lasted 15 minutes outside.
