One of the benefits of moving to Mapleton is being closer to our friends, the Hofheins. They have an amazing house, beautiful children, and great taste in food. We absolutely love spending time with them. I was so happy to get to take pictures of them and work on shooting indoors.

Their other family member, Isabelle.
With their newest addition.
More to come.
So I know I’ve been a lame blogger lately. Forgive me. Truth be told life is a bit crazy now. The house takes up a HUGE amount of my time (don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining), I had the flu on Sunday (24hr thankfully), and I’m finishing up several design projects before the holidays. And did I mention it’s 2.2 degrees outside?
That being said, here’s some shots from the lovely Wilson family that I did a couple weeks ago. It was real, real cold and the light was quickly fading so we had to limit our location, but I’m pleased that we got some great shots with all eight of them smiling!
They welcomed another sweet baby girl 6 weeks ago and oh my is she darling! Just as sweet as can be, and not a cry to be heard. I was drooling from the moment I walked in their house as the mamma is an amazing interior designer, drop dead gorgeous and such a pleasure to be around. What a treat to take pictures of the newest member of this family!
Big sister.
15 minute session with my six beautiful nieces and their parents…easiest shoot ever.
I LOVE this picture. It’s so…them. Each of their personalities are oozing out in this shot.
We narrowly escaped the rain from this weekend and even managed a little sunshine at our shoot, though honestly, their little boy was sunshine enough. Isn’t he darling! I’ve never seen longer eyelashes in my life.
See, told you so.
Today was the funeral for my sister-in-law’s mother. She passed away suddenly and far too early from a brain aneurysm. I was reminded today about the shortness of life, and also the importance of what we do with it. I was reminded what a great responsibility it is to be a mother and to teach and raise my children. I was reminded that it’s never wrong to tell your children and your companion that you love them, and to do it often.
I knew Diane Barrus only a short while, but it is evident that she has left a legacy of love and service for her family and those who loved her. We love you Megan, and are so very sorry for the loss of your mother, your friend.
I took a little trip up to SLC this weekend to shoot this beautiful family. Despite the fact that their darling 10 month old boycotted her nap that day, we managed to get some good ones still. It was a short and sweet shoot, and I guarantee that one fell right to sleep on the drive home!
Hooray for repeat clients! I had the pleasure of photographing this family again this year. I love that because it always feels like I’m just hanging out with friends…except I have a camera in their face. This shoot involved me nearly dropping my camera when I thought I’d be clever and put a praying mantis on my camera hood to get the kid’s attention. It crawled on my finger and I yelled like a little girl.
On to the pictures of this incredibly handsome family:
I love, love, love this picture. So timeless looking and how handsome are those boys!
I had the pleasure of photographing this family who was in Utah for a family reunion, all the way from New York City! (I can’t help saying that like the old salsa commercial still). They requested nature shots as it’s few and far between where they are. The darling mom even got to see her first deer while we were out tromping around! And would you believe it, after talking a while, yep, we have mutual friends. Never ceases to amaze me the connections that can be made. Thank you Lambert family for letting me spend a bit of time with you!
