Colton Family

This is one of my closest friends from high school. We have known each other since we were 12 and I just love her to death! These guys were so awesome to let me take their pictures back when I was starting out so I really wanted to take some more pictures for them while they were visiting Utah this summer. I am so glad we did because we got so many adorable pics! I had to stop myself from posting all of them because they all turned out so cute. These guys are expecting their second little boy on Christmas so we did a few maternity pictures too. I'm so excited for you guys! Here are some of my favorites from the session.

All of the money you would pay for the session will go straight to the Ricks family to help pay some of the medical bills. And there are so many other awesome things that you can bid on. It's going to be a great time and a great cause, you won't want to miss it!

Nielsen Family

How lucky am I to have this cute family as some of my neighbors? They are such a fun and active little family, I had a blast shooting these. And even though I made them blazen their way through a jungle in the heat and humidity to get to this spot I think that the shots we got were well worth it!

Haha sometimes I just love the pictures like the first one here. This was right at the end of our session and they had all done so well. But I do think that they were done!!
