Our own Family photos! Man, every year that we take family pictures I learn more and more about how my clients feel and what I can adjust to make it an even better experience for them! Getting family pictures is hard. It’s never perfect. Someone would always rather not be there. When it comes down […]

Not gonna lie this has been a little confusing in our house. When Trent and I were about to have Brighten, actually before we even knew she was a girl, we both had a dream that we had 2 girls and 1 boy so we picked out 2 girl names and one boy name. After […]

My sister! My sweet little sister and her family invited us for thanksgiving this year…or maybe we invited ourselves, haha. Even though Brighten started throwing up literally within the minute we arrived no-one complained about it. (And thank goodness it was there instead of in the rental car). Yesterday we watched a Magic School Bus […]

The very first year I took family photos for the Curtis Family I came home and told Trent, “Oh my gosh I just met the family I have always dreamed of taking pictures of!”. I have had the pleasure of taking thousands and thousands of family photos for some of the most amazing families but […]

I don’t know about other people but leaving a house is hard for me. When Trent and I were first married he wanted to move into a 2 bedroom from a 1 bedroom apartment and I didn’t want to because I had just finished making the one we lived in our home and I felt […]

The last few weeks of not-dripping-with-sweat-hot weather is upon us and the days are alternating between a little uncomfortable in the evenings and “wow, it’s so nice out tonight!” still. The night of this session fell on the later and it was even cloudy for part of the afternoon too so I think that made […]

This easter we stayed at home which we have never done before! It was probably my favorite easter since getting married! We were able to really focus on the meaning of easter, spend time with those closest to us and didn’t have the rush and stress of traveling! On Easter Sunday I woke up early […]

When we shot these photos it was the rehearsal night for the Mesa Temple Easter Pageant Jesus the Christ. There were lots of people dressed in costumes rushing back and forth from the parking lot area to the huge lawn area out front. At one point a small heard of Roman Soldiers walked past and […]

Aren’t these two girls just the cutest. Well, they are as sweet as they are cute. I think the first time I met Penny and Stevie was when I shot their parents wedding! It was so fun to see their sister dynamic again and wonder how Brighten and Sage will be when they get a […]

I was so excited when Jenna asked me to take photos at Sugarplums this spring! Almost 5 years ago when we did our very first market we connected with a lot of the other local sellers and there was always chatter about the famous Sugarplums Market that everyone wanted to sell at. I also heard […]
