Another beautiful fall day and another equally beautifully family. I love getting to know families and watch them interact, even if it’s only for a couple hours. We laughed, we chased and chased their little boy, and we ate apples. What a fun shoot!

With all this rainy weather we’ve been having lately, I was nervous that we would have to reschedule this shoot, but thankfully it warmed up a bit and the sun came out just enough to make it a beautiful day for family pictures. Despite the fact that their darling little girl was immune to all my tricks for getting smiles, I was able to get her to actually look at the camera, which was a small victory. A beautiful family on a beautiful fall day.
You may recognize the cute girls in this family because I’ve had the opportunity to do individual sessions with each one of them over the last couple months. This time I had the pleasure of photographing the whole family up in Provo Canyon. Fall is upon us, and though I despise the cold, I can’t deny that it is a really pretty time of year. I’m pretty sure this mom is stoked to have her Christmas pictures out of the way!
*Spots are limited for Holiday shoots. Please email me, leah{at}pelousedesign{dot}com to book a session.
Hanging out with this bunch of goofballs is a treat. One I truly miss as they lived across the street from us in our old house. We had a wonderful evening together, laughing, praying for the sun to go behind some elusive clouds, and bribing a bunch of teenagers who didn’t want their picture taken. I even busted out my “Hi, my name is Chubby” act, which I generally save for the younger crowd. The Bills family are a truly wonderful and kind group who have now welcomed a third child from Liberia into their family via adoption. Instantly loved, instantly family.
Gartee, the newest member of their family.
I love sessions that make me want to run home and grab my kids and tell them how much I love them. This was one of them. This little family is full of love and it shows.
My best friend Amy’s brother and family were in town a while ago and asked me to take some pictures of their growing family. I took pictures of the twins soon after they were born and I was so excited to see them again. All those kiddos you see below are miracle babies and each one couldn’t be loved more. What a handsome family. I’ve decided that large dimples don’t hurt either. Can I place an order for those the next time around?
Behind the scenes of the above photo. Sometimes you have to be creative when a baby is more interested in eating the rocks on the ground then looking up. Thank you to my lovely assistant, their aunt, for sacrificing her lovely hairdo.
This picture is so them. Laurel giggling and Mark pulling a funny face to get us all the laugh. I love it.
This family drove all the way from Idaho to come see me. What an honor! They just added their newest addition two weeks prior and wanted some pictures of him while he was still ittybitty. Of course it ended up being the brightest morning known to mankind, so we had to bring it inside and get creative. While I’m defiantly not the studio type, I think we still got some great shots of the baby and family inside, all with natural lighting of course!
There’s not much more beautiful then seeing two parents absolutely smitten with their baby. That was certainly the case with this shoot. I discovered a new talent we coined “the spider” which had baby and parents rolling and got some really great smiles. She was done after our first location though and no amount of spidering could get those infectious smiles again. Thankfully it’s hard to tell babies are crying when they’re held up in the air. Thank you Reynolds family for making the trip to see my camera and I.
Meet my newest niece, Lizzie. She is the miniest doll I’ve ever laid eyes on. I’m so happy I was able to finally meet her and had my camera!
We’ve been trying to meet up for quite some time now so I was thrilled when the Fitch’s booked a Candyman mini session. Though the weather gave us a run for our money and caused some rescheduling, we were able to raise $950 for the Ashby family. Thank you so much to each family who participated.
The Fitch family booked this session specifically to get a family photo to include in their adoption papers. Even from our short half hour together, I could tell they are great parents and will be to another baby hopefully soon.
