Gonzales Family :: Utah Family Portrait Photography

The Gonzales Family is back again!  I just love the red head.  The whole family is very affectionate with each other and you can tell they have a great family bond.  Because of weather we shot this at one of the brothers house near the Draper Temple.  The dark wood architecture was to hard to [...]


SLC, UT Family Portrait Photography :: The Cannings

SLC, UT Family Portrait Photography :: The Cannings

The Cannings weren’t happy with their school pictures and so didn’t buy any.  Which means they wouldn’t have new portraits on their wall of their kids.  This was unacceptable of course which is why we were downtown Salt Lake City to make sure they had new great images for the next year. Kids grow so [...]


Family Generation Photography :: The Butlers

Family Generation Photography :: The Butlers

I don’t get to do these often enough.  Documenting families, their generations, and being able to see/show a long linage of family is one of the best things anyone can do for their family.  Anne is one of those adventurous women who likes to make things like this happen for her family.  She has a [...]


Salt Lake City Children Portraits :: Tamagawa Boys

Salt Lake City Children Portraits :: Tamagawa Boys

The Tamagawa boys were due for updated images.  One was ready to rock, the other wasn’t.  This happens a lot at family pictures.  One child doesn’t want to do it and can be a problem for the whole shoot.  That’s ok I say.  Kids are able to be grumpy, we can usually change this around [...]


Mother and Child Portrait Studies

Mother and Child Portrait Studies

Celebrate Mother’s Day With Art I’ve always felt a little ambivalent towards Mother’s Day.  It, like so many holidays, feels like so much like a Hallmark national day, and the flower industry’s excuse to jack up their prices.   I don’t want to sound so pessimistic but I always feel a little forced into these things [...]

Salt Lake City Library :: Jensen Family Portraits

Salt Lake City Library :: Jensen Family Portraits

Rebecca’s brother is being deployed and they needed some great family photography done before he leaves.  I love these type of family shoots.  You can see how much they love and care for their departing soldier.  Best of luck in the field.  The Jensen family were great as well.  Their kids are super cute, and [...]

Salt Lake Children Photography :: Faces of Bryce & Faith

Salt Lake Children Photography :: Faces of Bryce & Faith

Jenn saw images from my faces of program and wanted them of her kids!  So far I have photographed younger kids in this program, but there is no reason why the older kids can’t get in on the action.  Both her kids were ready to have some fun and helped out with the goofy faces.  [...]


Money Saving Tool : Slight of the Invisible Hand

Money Saving Tool : Slight of the Invisible Hand

I stumbled upon the coolest new browser app that I thought you might be interested in.  It’s a money saving browser tool that sits nicely atop your brower (firefox, google chrome, and the old IE) and when you’re shopping online, it lets you know when the item you’re checking out can be found for a [...]

Pet Photographer SLC :: The Poulson Family

Pet Photographer SLC :: The Poulson Family

It wasn’t the Poulson’s Family idea to get pictures.  Her dad really wanted updated pictures of them.  They’ve been married for some time and haven’t had any new pictures of themselves since their wedding.  Enough was enough.  They don’t have children right now, but they do have two dogs.  After having the dogs pull straws [...]


Utah Family Photographer :: The North Family

Utah Family Photographer :: The North Family

Julie North is family, literally!  She’s my cousin on my dad’s side.  Her and her husband were in need of some new family portraits since their son is due to ship out with the military soon.  I was more than happy to help out.  I haven’t seen them for a year or so and it [...]


Utah Family Photographer :: Wilkinson Family

Utah Family Photographer :: Wilkinson Family

The Wilkinson family really wanted a bright snowy day to shoot their family portraits.  It was cold, it was snowy, and we were at the park.  They’re a fantastic family.  Willing to stick it out in the cold and still have fun with each other.  We didn’t get as much time as we wanted because [...]

Super awesome extreme bad father cycler Cameron and his daughter needed some great pictures together.  Where does this cool of a father daughter team need pictures at?  Of course the Salt Lake Library …. at night. From in the stack, to out in the lobby, no matter where they stood everyone thought there was a [...]


Sevor Family :: Utah Family Photographer

Sevor Family :: Utah Family Photographer

The Sevor family was another generous family who purchased one of my donated packages at the Head Start fund raiser at La Caille.  They didn’t want a studio shoot, but it was to cold to shoot outside with a two month old baby.  We decided on the Salt Lake Public Library. They’re a fantastic family [...]
