Family photo sessions should be fun and relaxing, not stressful. We all had a ball at this session with the Ingles! How do I capture those true emotions? Guided posing! We went to this family's favorite Utah hiking spot and had fun! Some of that fun included a family tickle fight! Those images will forever be some of my favorites! You can see their pure joy!
Let's capture some beautiful images of your family with those true emotions! Fill out the contact form below and let's make it happen!

Autumn is such a fun time for family photos in Utah! Look at all those colorful leaves! And how cute are these matching sisters?!

The Family Experience
Worried about what to wear, fussy children during the session, or dads who don't want to be there? Don't be! Family sessions with me are fun and relaxed! We will begin with the classic, posed "look at me" photos and them move on to the fun and playful photos. I will give you guided prompts throughout the session to capture those natural, candid-style images you love! Family sessions are about 30-45 minutes long which is the perfect length for kids, and DADS!
These images will be gorgeous for your heirloom artwork and canvases to hang on the walls of your home!
Families change quickly and time is a thief. Capture your beautiful, unique family just as they are in this moment.

The Investment Details
Words cannot express how much I LOVE the family photos that Carissa did for us! She made it so easy and fun!! She was punctual, prepared and took the time to include poses that fit our family's personality. She captured some of the very best expressions on our kid's faces that I absolutely adore. Her pics will be a treasure to us forever!
