The Peterson Family // Provo Canyon, UT

Seriously this family is adorable and they have become some of our really good friends! Steven met Brandon last year when they both were applying for the industrial design program. I truly believe that one of the reason's Steven felt prompted to go into that program was so that he could meet Brandon, which in turn I met Amy! YAY! I seriously feel so blessed to have their friendship. Two Saturday's ago, Brandon wanted to do a couples video of Steven and I. We didn't know until we go to the park, but when Brandon said it I couldn't have been more excited!!!!!! We never got a wedding video, since we had to pay for our wedding. I am really looking forward to seeing it, but take your time Brandon, I know you have LOTS of other projects and school.

Brandon and Steven both love videoing and both are equally very good at it! I am really excited to see what the video looks like. Brandon said it would take probably until thanksgiving, but heck I am just excited! Anyway! This family is just wonderful and awesome! So glad that I was able to take some pictures after Brandon filmed us! They are adorable in every way and they are just some of the NICEST people! Amy is one of the best mothers I know, besides me own mother of course. You can just tell how much she loves her little girl. Then again how could you not love that adorable little thang??

Well enjoy! Feel free to leave a comment if you would like. They always find me joy!

Thank you Brandon for shooting the video for us and thank you for letting me take these for you! Just adorable!

Family Portraits // Alpine Loop, Utah

This is a FANTASTIC family that go to the same church as me! When they asked me if I could take their pictures I was sooooo excited! The main reason I was excited, is because their family live in different parts of the US and they all came together for the birth of the first grand babies birth! How exciting! I am sure all of them were very excited to be Aunt's and Uncle's for the first time. I am sure there is nothing more special then a new member of the family being added in. This family is super fun and upbeat! It was such a pleasure to photograph them!

Thank you for asking me to take these for you! You are a beautiful family and happy family!

The Burke Family // American Fork Canyon

The Burke family is just adorable! It was such a great experience and a safe one at that. You probably are wondering, why did she just say safe? Funny story with that! Rebecca found me on google by typing in alpine loop photographer, which is so awesome! I am on google people!!! But anyway, so she contacted me and I was like YEAH! I would love to take pictures for you! As the weeks went on I starting thinking about their session and I realized I didn't really know them. I then found her on facebook and became friends with her and learned about it. Well I realized that she didn't use facebook very much, which meant I really couldn't get to know her. Then in my freak mind I began to wonder, what if this girl is fake and it's really someone who is going to set up a photo shoot, meet me there, beat me up, and take my equipment. I know a little irrational, and my husband thought the same. We also didn't have any common friends on FB so that added to my concern. Because I was nervous I asked my neighbor to come with me. She gladly came and it was so much fun to get to know her!

Anyway! back to the story, I met them and realized WOW these are some of THE NICEST people! Rebecca was seriously so kind and thoughtful and her husband, Matt, was equally so. It was so pleasant to talk with Rebecca, I felt as if we could be good friends or something. She is also GORGEOUS! Sometimes I get this high school flash back and think pretty people are mean, so I was also nervous there. Let me tell you, she is beautiful inside and out! Matt and Rebecca make a beautiful couple and their dog is ADORABLE! After taking their pictures I cam home and asked my husband if we could get a dog, he said no. Sigh! But hey at least I was able to play with Duke for a little, got my dog fix! :)

Thank you Rebecca for asking me to take these pictures for you! It was such a wonderful opportunity and it was seriously a pleasure to met you, your husband, and Duke!

Aaron & Riley Bridal Session // Layton, Utah

Aaron and Riley are just perfectly perfect for each other! They seemed very comfortable around each other when I was around them. Just a very happy couple. Not only were they just adorable but I had a really neat opportunity to second shoot with Winsor Photography. It was a great opportunity and she is just fabulous! She is a natural photographer who makes her clients feel very comfortable.

Well check it out!

Rickard Family // Utah Lake

Alli and are are co-workers together and when I met her about a year ago, I thought she was just a really nice person. As a new employee, I was such a nub and didn't know ANYTHING! I was always asking her and another girl questions all the time. She would always response super nice and very helpful. She pretty much saved my job because of her willingness to help. Then when she went on maternity leave I realize AH one of my security blankets wont be there! That was a time where I really had to think more through things, but I knew that if I really did even have a question, she would answer it, even being on maternity leave. Guess what? I actually had to ask her a few questions.  I was really glad to see her come back after her long maternity leave. She is just awesome and very beautiful!

Alli's husband, Shane is a WAY into video and photography, so I felt a little pressure taking their pictures knowing he would probably be more particular than others. He really enjoyed video and has a sweet camera to match with it! 

Thank you Richard family for letting me taking your family pictures! It was just so beautiful on the lake, it totally looked like the ocean to me! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

This was shot with my Canon 6D

The Peterson Family // Utah County Photography

Alright so where do I start, the Peterson family are ADORABLE! Seriously just take a look at these pictures! Brandon is a good friend of my husbands, they met in a class at Brigham Young University. Brandon brought his canon 60D to class and that sparked a conversation, because they both LOVE film and videography. Since then they have done a lot of filming things together and with that comes having them over for games. When I met Amy I thought, I think we could be good friends. Amy also loves photography and she is trying to learn how to use a DSLR. I am looking forward to teaching her a few tips and tricks.

Anyway, enough of my writing, I just am really thankful for the opportunity I had to photograph this cute family! Thank you so much Brandon and Amy for letting me take these pictures!
