Thoreson Family | Utah Family Photographer

Just a quick post of the Thoreson Family.  We had to improvise on our location since they were having a party.  Yet again.  Last minute changes.  I’ve known Tomoko-”chan” since I was a little girl.  I hadn’t seen them in awhile–and when she contacted me about doing a photo session for their family I was so happy to do it for them.  They are such a fun and beautiful family!:)

Muray contacted me about doing a family session after she saw the post on the tree.  Yup.  The tree that I love so much.  So we scheduled a session which ended up getting canceled because of the crazy weather.  We were finally able to shoot there–thank goodness for the weather cooperating lately because I’m up to my ears in rescheduling shoots!  ha!

The Andertons were such a joy to photograph…little Cole was as funny as can be.  It took a little while for him to warm up to me, but when he did, he wouldn’t even sit still long enough for me!  He was full of energy and so fun!  I loved his “bubbly” funny faces that he would make.  Such a character!

Thank you so much for having me photograph your beautiful family!  Can’t wait to show you the rest!;)

I love these B&W.  I would make these large canvases in my home.  just sayin…;)

you are beautiful Muray!  And I LOOOOOVE your name.

canvas collage in little Cole’s room?  I think so..:)

LeeAnn, Kuni, Bryant and Ali | Utah Family Photographer

Meeting up with LeeAnn & Kuni’s little family was a breath of fresh air for me.  I came home thinking how much I missed shooting families.  Aren’t they such a cute little family?!?  They came to the shoot with purple & black accent colors…I swear I didn’t know it before I met them at our location.  The colors worked perfectly and they were so cute.  Loved everything about them and their style!  (They probably have something else to say about mine as well…I showed up in gym clothes.  ya.  cool.  I know.  But I had plans to work out after the shoot so I have a good excuse).

This family session was no ordinary family session…you see, LeeAnn & Kuni will be getting married in August–so this was a sort of engagement/family shoot.  LeeAnn & her son Bryant, and Kuni & his son Ali will soon become one big family!  I am so excited for them.  They truly deserve each other and are so cute with each other!  Thanks for letting me photograph your adorable family.  Your boys cracked me up the ENTIRE time, with the “old man hands” and the girlish superman poses…ahahahaha….Congratulations to you guys!  Love ya!  Here’s just a peek because if I had to choose, I’d be editing a ton, which would take me forever…which would mean that it wouldn’t really be a sneak peek, right?  so here it is…just a peek.  :)

I love this family shot.  just do.

check me out in those sunglasses.  Yup…in my cool “gym’ outfit and everything.  I’m  so stylish.

work it.  work it.  I love this one, too.

These boys were a riot!  And that’s NOT Bryant’s middle finger in the bottom picture.  It’s his pointer finger. :)

Aren’t they SOOO cute together?  yes.  yes. yes.  And LeeAnn…you are simply GORGEOUS.  Can’t get over it.  Just can’t.

Fernandez Family | Utah Family Photography

How totally cute is this family?!?  It was great to work with a family with older kids for a change.  No chasing kids, no making goofy faces or jumping up and down.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the little ones, but I do love a calm, relaxed shoot as well. 
Lately I’ve been shooting a lot at Star Mill in American Fork.  Everyone seems to be loving the rustic vibe that the Mill gives.  I always try to find new spots there to shoot since I don’t want to make it look like everyone has the same pictures, you know?  (a.k.a. GREEN DOOR–all you local photographers know what I’m talking about…)  Hopefully we were able to get that for the Fernandez fams since they had their family pictures taken there last year from another photographer!  ha..ha..:)  Hey, but if you like the mill, you like the mill, right?!?
To the Fernandez Family:  You guys are AWESOME!  Thanks for letting me photograph your lovely family.  You have a gorgeous family–love your eyes and the beautiful shiny dark hair.  love love love them.  Trust me when I say there is more to come…gotta enjoy my holidays for a bit, then I’ll get right back to you!!!:)

Torgerson Family | Utah Family Photography

What can I say about this awesome family…To start, they’ve had their session scheduled so long ago…and each time the session date started creeping near, something would happen. Someone would either be really sick, the weather would be awful…something bad would always happen! But FINALLY we got good weather, and everyone was doing good so we jumped at the chance.

On a sidenote…I hate winter. Man, we lost light so fast I had to work quickly to get some pics in. Luckily the Torgersons were such good sports–the kids were SOO well behaved and we were able to rock it out quickly. The MOON even came out as we were finishing up the shoot…which means it was getting DARK! YIKES!

I’m so behind in editing & keeping up with my house and kids…so here’s a few to get you excited for more to come!:) Thanks Togersons!
