rawlinson family

These dudes will always be one of my favorite families to photograph! When Kaelin married Trevor she got promoted to stepmom status with Rylan, and they've got a super cute family dynamic that makes them super fun to take pictures of. (What photographer doesn't love NOT having to pose every single moment and just letting the magic happen!?)
We went up Big Cottonwood Canyon before it was all wintery and enjoyed the big pines and mountainy greenness. Trevor and Rylan just HAPPENED to wear exact matching outfits which turned out to be the cutest thing ever! And while we were playing around, a bunch of people coming down from a hike started making a commotion about something happening across the road, so we walked over to check it out. There were 3 huge moose [meese, mooses] head butting each other right on the side of the road! It was pretty crazy to watch- some people thought they were invincible and went down into the brush just a few feet away from the moose, and Trevor was about ready to call 911 in case someone got decapitated. Crazy!

Enjoy this cute little family! And the crowning moment of my nature photography career at the bottom.

































































My focus was a little off, but I'm still a teeny bit proud of this one:

gregson family

There isn't really much to say about these images because they speak for themselves. The Gregson family is full of genuine love for each other and for having fun together and that alone made these pictures turn out as some of my favorites to date. We knew the Gregsons from our old neighborhood in Provo a few years ago and we are so glad we still get to be friends and that they chose me to help them document them and their adorable kids exploring in the mountains. <3
