Logan Utah Family Pictures

 Hi, remember me?  I used to write on this blog every once in awhile.  It's been so long I almost forgot how to log in!  I am still posting family sessions from back when the leaves were still gorgeous.  Here I sit, mid-December, wishing for this gorgeous weather to come back.  But at least it's giving me some time to catch up on blogging.

I had the pleasure of photographing this cute family back in the spring.  This fall they had some exciting additions to their family, so I got to take them about once again!  I am so grateful for repeat clients and those that are a little flexible.  I had set up a place to take them out to shoot and when I got there I could tell it just wasn't going to work at that time of day AT ALL.  So we headed to another spot and they were just fine with it.

Keep checking back, hopefully I keep remembering to post more of my fall sessions!

Fall Family Pictures in Logan Utah | Northern Utah Photographer

True confession time, for some reason I was scared to death about this session!  I have finally gotten to the point where I'm not super nervous every time I walk out the door to a session, but this one had me worried.  When they contacted me, they told me they had just moved here from out of state.  There were wanting, what I would call, the quintessential Cache Valley portrait session.  Beautiful fall leaves, next to barns, with our gorgeous mountains in the background.  I really struggled on finding the right spot.  I finally decided to have them meet me at the American West Heritage Center and we would go from there.  We weren't going to be able to go inside because it was a Sunday, but I had hoped I'd be able to get the beautiful Wellsvilles in the background.

The day of the shoot came and it was pouring rain.  I contacted them and we decided to put it off until the next Sunday, at that time, the forecast said rain that day too.  The next Sunday came and sure enough, rain.  We decided to wait it out and see what happened and low and behold, the clouds opened up and the sun came out!  For a minute.  By the time the session started it had clouded over again but no rain. Thank heavens it did though our that spot would not have worked AT ALL.  I went to meet someone there this weekend and it was just way too bright.  So thank heavens for rainy days.

This ended up being one of my all time favorites sessions! It may not have had the perfect fall leaves (because they have been so weird lately, but it was a fun location, and a SUPER CUTE family who was willing to put up with my crazy ideas.  The cloudy light was perfection.  So thanks G family for choosing me to do your family photos, I had the best time!

Seriously, sometimes the best part about this job is the connections you get to make with people.  I first met the mom and daughter in this family when they asked me to take her Senior Portraits.  We had so much fun doing that, she has a smile that lights up her whole being and it's super infections!  So I was more that thrilled when they called me recently about doing their family portraits before their daughter leaves on an LDS mission.  I also got to take her missionary pictures, check back soon for those cute pics.

For a family full of mostly boys, they were really great sports about getting their pictures taken (in case you don't know, boys don't really love having portraits done LOL).  Especially when they thought they were all done and I pulled them back in for a few more.  I'm so mean like that sometimes.  They turned out so cute and I'm super thankful to them for letting me share them here on my blog.

P Family Baby Announcement | Logan Utah Photographer

I have been waiting and waiting to post these cute pregnancy announcement pictures and the time has finally come!  Congratulations to my most awesome makeup artist Ashley and her husband Eric on their upcoming arrival!  I could not be more happy for them!  Ashley asked me back in June to help her set up a surprise for her family on Father's Day.  She had some super cute ideas on ways she wanted to break the big news to her family.  She took the first picture here and blew it up great big.  She then told her dad his present was around the side of the house where her husband had set up an easel and balloons.  Ashley has the whole thing on video and it couldn't be cuter!  Tears were shed.  It was a really great day for all of them.

For this shoot Ashley wanted to go to the poppy fields in Mantua.  She had heard they were gorgeous and in full bloom and I had heard from a few photographers in a group I am in, that it was a popular place to shoot.  I followed the directions someone from the group had given, and when we arrived we found out just how popular it was!  Holy photographers everywhere! There wasn't a place to even park and there were only probably 10 feet between each photographer.  It was actually really funny and I wish we could have found a parking spot so I could have taken a picture of all the people out in that field!  We had passed a place on the way in that was just a little hillside with poppies so we headed back that direction.  Only one other photographer and family at that spot so we were set.  We got all set up for the first shot and POP! One of the announcement balloons blew.  So Ashley headed back to the car for more.  Then POP! again.  Be careful in a field to not let the balloons to close to the weeds.  Lesson learned.

Congratulations again Ashley and Eric, you two are going to make wonderful parents and that little peanut is lucky to have you!

The F Family | Utah Family Portrait Photographer

I have been very fortunate in this job to get to meet some great people that I never would have gotten to meet otherwise.  This is one of those families.  They contacted me last year about doing Senior Portraits for the youngest son.  I got to go to Salt Lake and shoot in new places, and take some of my favorite shots!  You can check them out here: Josh.  His mom contacted me this spring to ask me to do a family session for her before Josh left on his LDS mission.  Her other son would just be getting home and she would have them together for only 5 short weeks before she sent the other one out.  What a brave Mom!  For 4 years, she only gets her sons together to 5 weeks!  Go her for making such a sacrifice. I also got to take Josh's missionary pictures.  I will do another post of just those images, so be sure to check back, they will be posted really soon.

I have to admit, this session was a bit challenging to me.  We went to this same park last fall and got some really fun shots.  I didn't really consider how popular this place would be on a gorgeous summer night.  There were people everywhere!   So I had to do my best to improvise and work with the space that we had.  I think it truly worked out in the end and we got some awesome family portraits that she can hold onto at least for the next 2 years until her boys are back together again.
