Phung Family, Conroe
I cannot get over the lighting we had for this session. It was the perfect moment when the setting sun hit the trees so perfectly and gave us ultra dreamy, sun soaked images. It was the icing on the cake for this adorable family session to celebrate their little boy turning two years old….
Cooper Family, Aspen Grove
While I was visiting Utah this summer I got the chance to visit one of my favorite places up Provo canyon and photograph lots of families there! It made my heart soooo happy to be back in the mountains and around ASPENS! They don’t exist where I’m at in Texas. We found a perfect pocket of light and had the best time. It’s so obvious how much this family adores each other in every single picture. And the check out the personality of those little ones!
Choi Family, The Woodlands
My goodness, I have had so many compliments from this session! Jenny’s classy, clean style paired perfectly with our forest location soaked in yummy golden light! I adore shooting families with a baby. It’s so fun to see new parents interact with their little magical creation. We made sure to get pictures of just the parents too — which is so important! It was the hardest thing to narrow down my favorites, but here are my very, very top!
Summer Minis, Hobble Creek Canyon
This was my first time holding summer mini sessions and I loved it! Jolley’s ranch was the perfect location for dreamy light and rustic backdrops and all of my sweet families were so perfect.
Blossom Sessions
I have a feeling that mini blossom sessions will become a yearly tradition…
Remund Family, Downtown Springville
Springville is always a great location for pictures because it has great architecture downtown. My favorites are old buildings that are still kicking around. This building is probably my favorite! I love the white wash, rustic brick walls and unique windows. I like to call it my outdoor studio because you can get a neutral yet interesting backdrop. Speaking of favorites, this family is one of mine! I've known these two since high school and nothing beats watching their family grow year after year. Not to mention my oldest has a little crush on their oldest.... *millions of adorable wedding fantasies* and there isn't anything cuter than that! Ally always nails the styling of her family and I loved how beautiful the colors of their outfits popped against the white brick!
Gliattli Family, Holt Farm
I had never shot at Holt farm until this session and was pleasantly surprised! It's small, but has a large variety of buildings and areas for shooting. It was a great rustic location that had just the perfect amount of freshly fallen leaves. The Gliattli family was so much fun and had so much personality! I loved watching them interact with each other and see how fun their relationships are. We had great timing for this session because at the tail end of it, the farm became flooded with what seemed like a hundred local high school dance couples coming to get pictures done! It was an adventure for sure. Take a look at my very favorites!
Erickson Family, Hobble Creek Canyon
This family was a dream! Their children were so playful and the quiet setting sun behind them was a perfect picturesque addition. It felt like we were just capturing play time during the fall at the farm. I love Jolley's ranch this time of year - it's just magical. Here are some favorites!

Draper Family, Little Sahara
Shooting here still feels like I'm on another planet sometimes. It's incredibly majestic and so far spread! It seems impossible to discover all of it. I try to go to different spots every time I shoot here so I can see more of it. This time was awesome and we found some super rad trees. Also, can we talk about how picture perfect the Draper family is? I wanted to post literally every image from this session. I loved the pops of orange to contrast with the neutral sand and green trees. One of the perks of shooting here is it is so carefree. It's less about pose-y images and more about let's-go-adventuring images. I think we got a good mix of both -- check them out!
Foote Family, Aspen Grove
I always look forward to working with this beautiful family. Their outfits are always to die for and the bond they have with one another is AMAZING to photograph. It is always such a treat to be with them. We decided on the beautiful location of Aspen Grove and it did not disappoint. The light was perfect, the colors were rich, and the 360 degrees of fall mountain scenery was breathtaking. Enjoy my favorites (believe me--it was TOUGH to narrow it down!!)
Parkin Family, Saltair
Anyone who is lucky enough to know this family knows how awesome they are. When all the details came together for this shoot, I knew it was going to be just as awesome. Their outfits were the perfect mix of urban and classic and I thought they looked AMAZING against the pretty overcast sky and neutral backdrop. It was windy and we thought for a long time it was going to rain on us, but we made it out without a drop! (Just a stolen purse, but we can talk about that later...). Josh really liked the idea of having a foreground in some pictures and so I brainstormed and used a clear plastic cup so shoot through for some shots. I thought it turned out pretty cool! I went overboard on my favorites, so here are a couple million....
Fall Mini Sessions, Aspen Grove
So excited to share these! Fall mini sessions were a huge hit this year. I had a great time meeting new clients, catching up with old friends, and longtime clients! The weather was crisp and the colors were bold. I'll be holding these again next year and can't wait! Enjoy these highlights xox
Williams Family, Squaw Peak
I love this family! We caught the peak of the fall colors this season and it was gorgeous! We shot at one of my favorite locations and I loved how the session turned out. Their two little girls were insanely adorable, as always, and everyone's outfits went perfectly with the scenery. Enjoy my favorites!
Smith Family, Hobble Creek Canyon
The best kind of sessions is when I get to work with family! These beautiful little girl made me an aunt for the first time. We did Angela's maternity pictures last year in the fall and I think it's fitting that a year later we are doing them again! We chose Jolley's Ranch because of it's rustic vibes, pretty scenery and yummy lighting. I loved how their outfits came together and loved trying to get little Lilia to give me some camera love! Here are some of my faves, enjoy. xoxo
Kindrae Newborn, Lifestyle
I can rave about lifestyle sessions up and down over and over again until I fall over dead. I love them so much. Every situation is unique but it is always genuine. This lifestyle session was so fun with my suuuuper chill nephew and we got to experiment with different lighting situations and setups. Some rooms were bright and airy, and some were mellow and moody. And look how in love my sister and brother-in-law are with that new little baby!
Kindrae Birth Story, Utah Valley Regional
Enagagements are exciting, bridals are exciting, and weddings are exciting, but I don't think there is anything that beats birth story exciting. The feeling in the air after a couple meets their own child for the first time after waiting for -/+ 9 months. Soaking in every little detail, wondering what features they got from mom and dad or even other generations. Pure love for a child they had never met until that second they were born. It's truly unexplainable until you experience it for yourself, and if so, you probably know exactly the feeling I'm talking about. A feeling that brings you to tears, laughter, and shock all at the same time. It was that feeling when documenting my nephew's birth story. Meet Kindrae Wayne...
Emma Newborn, Lifestyle
It's the best to watch my clients grow into different life stages. My favorite is watching couples have babies because it always changes them! A new feeling of love is formed between them. A found love for their child they didn't know was possible. The way they marvel at the little human they created. There is nothing like it. I loved this lifestyle session of sweet baby Emma. She was born into the country lifestyle and her nursery was the cutest farm theme. Her mama put much thought into every single detail! Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
Hutchings Family, Little Sahara
I LOVE this family!! I have photographed them every year since I had begun my photography business and I am always so excited to do them! I feel like our visions always combine and in turn creates beautiful photos every time. This time, though, was my very favorite. I was feeling adventurous and wanted to shoot at the sand dunes and they happily obliged. All I wanted was stormy skies to give us beautiful contrast against the light dunes and mother natured delivered that and more! We got chased out at the very end by a HUGE windstorm - we're talking like we couldn't even see where we were going kind of windstorm - but we were super blessed the entire session with impending storm clouds and stunning deep blue skies. Their outfits matched the sky perfectly. I couldn't believe it. An artistic fire ignited in me during this shoot and magic happened. Enjoy my millions of favorites... :)
Noyes Family, Summer Lifestyle
It is such a blast taking lifestyle photos for the Noyes family! Every session they have several themes that we photograph for Pax to write about on their lifestyle blog (which you can view here). Summer has been so fun with little A reaching new stages and experiencing things for the first time. She's possibly the cutest baby in the whole world and every time I come over I have to restrain myself from just bringing her home with me. It has been so fun watching Pax and K become parents (read all about their adoption journey here) and they are on another adventure hoping to adopt once more! They deserve it so much and A would be the best big sister without a doubt. Here are some highlights from recent sessions!
Wright Family + Cake Smash, Provo Harbor
Once upon a time, this family made two gorgeous little humans (that I am determined to set up with my two little humans) and I got to photograph them! Little Declan turned one so we grabbed some family shots in a beautiful field and then had the BEST CAKE SMASH ever. In all my years of photographing, I have never seen a cake smash so epic. Scroll down to see!
Carter Family, Tunnel Springs
Britt and I have been friends since high school and I was so thrilled when she asked if I could take some of her adorable, I'm talking ADORABLE, one year old and her family. We picked the majestic location of Tunnel Springs and had the most incredible light. Little Kalai was the star of the show and loved to show off his standing up skills! Nothing better than watching your friends grow up! Take a look at my faves.
