Hobson Extended Family - St. George UT Family Photographer

I really love extended family sessions, really, really.  They are so fun. Crazy, chaotic - yes, but definitely fun!  And so, so worth it, they are a treasure if you ask me.  This family was awesome! In the Spring I was able to connect with an old friend from my college ASL class, Andrea, and her darling family and do their photos.  (Which I loved! Definitely a favorite shoot!) I was so excited when she asked me to do photos of her whole, big family!  Here are some of my favorites...

Thank you Hobson Family, you were all great! 

3 Years Old - St. George Utah Children's Photographer

This girl.  Let's just say last year for their family photos she was a teeny bit of a terror.  This year she more than made up for it.  Not only did she give me great smiles for the family photos, but take a look at her adorable birthday session!  She was an absolute doll!  Julianne and I kept saying, "wow, what a difference a year makes!"  She was so good.  I got so many darling shots and I love her many different expressions!  3 is off to a great start for this darling girl!

Brooks Family 2014 - St. George, UT Family Photographer

This beautiful family is pretty well known around here.  My dear friend, Julianne, has been supporting me since the beginning and I have loved photographing her sweet family as they grow.  Here are some of my favorites from their Fall family session...

This darling boy has been and always will be one of my favorites, those eyes!!

Such beautiful shots of this awesome family!

And just for the sake of keeping it real, and because these kids make me laugh, here are a few of my favorite outtakes...

Aren't kids the best?  Love these people.

Blue Eyes, Sweet Cheeks, Some Fun and a Frog - St. George, UT Family Photographer

These guys are the best.  Cutest, cutest family.  Joanna has been so awesome to support me in my photography endeavors and has been coming to me since I started this adventure.  You can check out some of our fun times together here, here (one of my favorite shoots ever! Make sure to check it out!) and here.  Nothing means more to me as a photographer than families returning to me and trusting me to capture their precious stages of life.  And it's even better when the faces I get to capture are this cute!  

 Such adorable faces!

 Hailey is the best big sister.

 I had to include this one, the kids found a frog and it was the highlight of the evening for them!

 Love Momma and her girls!

 I also had to include this one because it makes me laugh, just so how it goes with toddlers!

It may have been a tincy bit chaotic but it was worth every second to capture these sweet faces.  Thank you Joanna, you're the best!  Love your sweet family!

Gorgeous Fall, Gorgeous Family! - St. George, UT Family Photographer

Wow!  I am not sure where the time has gone the last few months!  Christmas came and went way too fast! Time for some catching up,  I'm excited to share a few favorite Fall family sessions, first up the Gorgeous Hancock Family!  I adore these people and am so lucky to have them as my next door neighbors.  Mom, Melanie, is my dear friend and is one of the most talented, amazing women I know.  She is such a great mom and is such a good example to me, one of these days I hope I can get it together half as much as she does!  Their session was so much fun, I had a hard time narrowing down which shots to share!

 We loved this location!  We were there at just the right time, the colors where gorgeous!  And seriously, this family, so beautiful!

 Such beautiful girls, inside and out!  Emery and Ella have been in my Activity Days (church calling) and I just love them, they are such sweet, kind girls.  Don't you love their hair pieces? Made by Melanie!  Just one of her many amazing talents!

 I really love these couple shots!  Mel is so stunning!

 Little Ella is my perfect poser!

 Em just recently started playing violin and is loving it!

Thanks Mel and family, I had so much fun with you, you guys are the best!
