A while back, I got an email from a family that had just moved to Wyoming from the south (hello, culture shock!). They were looking for a family photographer and had somehow — thankfully! — stumbled upon my site. They figured they’d make a weekend out of a trip to Park […]
Believe me: the look on her face when the confetti popped was a reveal in itself. They were both so certain their little bundle of joy was going to be a girl! They even had her name picked out. I loved watching what seemed like every imaginable emotion cross their […]
A family reunion/vacation + a 40th wedding anniversary? Yes! When the family turns out to be absolutely amazing? YES PLEASE… and may I have another?!?!? For this celebratory vacay, everyone came in from out of state (Pittsburgh and Chicago, which was my home before Park City), and I always enjoy meeting people […]
This past holiday season, we had a lot of snow. Which is assumed when you live in a ski town, but these storms can wreak havoc when you’ve got back-to-back-to-back family sessions that were booked months in advance as well as around other activities that the family has also carefully scheduled. It’s all well […]
I love when families choose to spend a little of their vacay on a photo shoot with me & V. This fab group of people booked a holiday family session about a month before they arrived in Park City. Although they’d been coming to Utah for years, they’d never had […]
I’ve noted before that I love getting out-of-the-blue calls or emails from people planning trips to Park City that want to incorporate a family photo shoot into their visit. It’s always fun asking toward the end of the conversation, ‘by the way, where are ya’ll coming from?’ and hearing the name of […]
I love when people message me through my website. It makes me wonder how they landed upon my URL, which is ~mysterious~ to me, but, also, it lets me know that they’ve seen my work and know what to expect for a session. When I heard from Carol a few […]
Seriously. Just… seriously. First of all, I’ve made no secret of how much I adore these people. Previous posts highlight shooting their wedding (and their subsequent publication in Utah Bride & Groom as well as The Knot), capturing general family moments, family events, and photographing Ryan’s performances. I’m infinitely grateful to have met them several years […]
Where to begin. First of all, I’m a lucky girl. I’m lucky that one of the members of this family stumbled upon my Facebook page several months ago and reached out to me about doing her family shoot. As our messages unfolded and we picked a date & time, I […]
Hilarious. A shoot with all dudes? Three sons and their dad? Hmmm. Okay, let’s all acknowledge the truth: women usually hold the family shoots together. The ladies ensure that everyone’s smiling (even when they don’t want to be there), dress the crew in their picture-perfect clothes, and generally keep everyone in-line for the time it […]
