Rich and JoAnne's Family {Utah County Portrait Photography}

I was honored when I was asked to take the "big" family picture for Rich and JoAnne! They really are two of the sweetest, cutest and most fun couples I know. I love them and their great, big, fun, loud, and energetic family! They wanted to get the family portrait done before they left on an mission to England for 18 months for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

It was a hot August evening but we were able to find enough shade to keep us out of the sun. The sweltering heat didn't dampen the occasion - everyone was smiling, laughing and teasing each other. It was great!

I loved capturing images for this wonderful family and had a great time in the process (my face hurt from smiling and laughing so much!) Thanks! You guys are fantastic!!!

I loved this candid shot!

I think they were having a little too much fun - or the heat was starting to get to them! 

Either way I'm so glad I got these pictures!

Chloe & Gage {Utah County Portrait Photography}

Yesterday I took these pictures of my niece's adorable children. Chloe and Gage were so fun!!! I had such a great time taking their pics. Chloe is an absolutely beautiful girl and Gage is the cutest little boy. (His cheeks are the best) These kiddos are so photogenic!
We were going to go to a park for the photo shoot but I decided to snap a "few" pictures in their backyard first and I'm glad I did. It was the perfect spot - lots of nice shade and a great wooden fence. We never had to leave their own yard!

Their pictures turned out great! What a couple of super kids!!!
