I’d like you to meet my dear friend, Roberta, and her darling family. Roberta and I have been friends for over 18 years!! We have so many fond memories and continue to make them. She is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful people I know and I’m grateful to have her as my friend. It was an absolute privilege to be able to photograph her and her family. Thanks for the great night you guys!
Van de Walle
I recently had a fabulous session with the Van de Walle family. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I truly have the best clients ever! This family was no exception either. I love working with them! They are a kind, sweet and thoughtful family, and let’s be honest, such a good looking bunch! Mom had them dressed adorable in navy and yellow, and I love the cream dress with floral crown (that mom made!) for their little girl’s 1st birthday photos.
FALL FAMILY PHOTOS
I love fall, especially for family photos! Let me stop for a second to tell you that I am seriously the luckiest photographer in the world. My clients are always so wonderful to work with. That’s true of my session with the Fairbanks family, too!
I met up with them at Edworthy Park (you know it’s one of my favorite locations!) and the weather was perfect for fall family photos. While the weather was nice, it was this darling family that made this shoot such a treat. The boys were so well behaved and we had a blast throwing rocks in the river. Plus, as an added bonus, their mom had them dressed adorable!! I love the greys and blues she chose. Perfect for such handsome little men.
Salt Lake Temple Wedding
I’ve got another beautiful wedding for you guys today! The adorable couple consists of Zac (who just so happens to be my cousin) and Maddie, two people that anyone would love to know. My hubby and I decided to make this a family trip as the wedding was in Utah and I’m so glad we did! My girls fell in love with Maddie when they first met her and the boys couldn’t wait to hear all about Zac playing football for Southern Utah University. What was even better was that Zac and Maddie were so kind and thoughtful and didn’t mind all the questions and the little kids wanting to be around them.
Zac and Maddie’s wedding day was truly wonderful. You could feel the love they have for each other. They had a beautiful Salt Lake Temple wedding. If you ever have a chance to visit Salt Lake make sure to visit the temple grounds. They are absolutely stunning!! Zac and Maddie’s reception was held at The Vista at Cedar Hills Golf Club, and it was simply beautiful. The decorations were lovely and everyone had a blast with the Photobooth Bus! My kids absolutely loved it and we even managed to fit my whole “little” family in for a quick picture. I’m so glad I was able to be a part of your special day Zac and Maddie, and wish you all the best!
Luke + Mandi + 5
It’s that time of year again. School is starting!! Is anyone else having mixed emotions about school starting tomorrow?? We have had a crazy busy, but fun summer and I’m not sure I’m ready for it to end. On the other hand trying to keep 5 kids entertained and happy for the last 2 months has had its challenges. I think the kids are ready for a little more structure too. I’m looking forward to school but will miss my kiddos when they’re gone.
Ok let’s forget about school for just a moment and get on to the photos 🙂 … I recently had a fabulous session with Luke and Mandi and their 5 kids. They were up visiting from Utah and I’m so glad we were able to do their family portraits before they headed home. I grew up with Luke and it is so fun to see him with 5 kids! His wife, Mandi, is one of the kindest people I have ever met. I keep hoping one day they’ll move back here, they are great people and I love being around them.
We met at this great little park in Royal Oak. I love shooting here. It may not look like much when you drive by, but I always love how photos turn out. Plus, there’s a playground on the way out, so it’s a good way to entice the kids to be happy. I’m not against a little bribery every now and then 😉
Thanks for braving the prickles and mosquitoes! You two are lucky to have each other and those darling kids!
