I’m still trying to play catch up with our blog posts from some of our summer sessions. So many good ones!

Meet the “L” family. It was a joy and an honor to photograph this wonderful family. Their oldest son was days away from starting his two year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Family photos are always important, but especially when you will not be seeing one of your children for the next two years!
Meet Hans: I'm convinced this skateboarding, horse-riding, snowboarding, choir-singing, business-starting, EMT volunteer can do anything, and he will soon add high school graduate to his long list of accomplishments. This guy is just the coolest! We had so much fun hanging out with him, especially when he pulled out that skateboard! Although it was probably my first time ever setting foot in a skate park, you could tell Hans felt right at home.
I absolutely LOVE when we get to photograph a family more than once. It is fun to see how they change and grow with the years. This session turned out so great, we couldn’t be any more happy with it! Click on this link to see this wonderful family from three years ago.
As I think about all the amazing veterans who have served, I can’t help but be grateful for their sacrifice. Both Ryan and I have grandparents, as well as other relatives, who have served this wonderful country that we are blessed to live in. One of those was my Grandmother, Melba Lee Simmons Johnson. Grandma served in WW II as a member of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) and later worked on the administrative side of the USA's nuclear testing program.
There is a certain day in Utah that comes around every year. The day when many of the beautiful fall colors are already gone, yet if you search you can find that hidden spot where they are still at their peak. Their vibrant and stunning colors shining bright! The day that always happens to be one of the last with perfect weather. The day before the early random snow storm hits.
There was not a person in the room who was not smiling while listening to Chloe and Sergio read their hand written vows. There was laughter. “You tell me I’m pretty, even when I am not.” There was joy. “I promise to take care of you and our family forever.” There were even a few tears. “You started as my best friend, and now you are my husband.” It was the sweetest vow reading we have been blessed to be a part of. In fact, that sentiment pretty much sums up our feelings for their entire day.
