Urban Utah Family

I got to photograph my friend Amy and her cute family in an urban setting.  I love the colors she chose (I’m recently lovin’ summer yellow) and was excited to shoot in an urban setting in a new location.  I photographed her fam last year in Utah in a different urban spot. Just 2 days before this shoot, I got to hang out with her fam at their home, so I think they felt comfortable with me already, so that helped.  They are a well mannered, happy group of kids. I want my kids to be friends with them!  I’m trying to talk her into a road trip on down here to Texas! I know she wants family pics in a field of cactus…

How about verticle (from the one above)?  Don’t you just love her yellow shoes?  I sure do.  Somehow a pair ended up in my hands the next day.

Oh. my. this little one is adorable!

Family hug like last year;)

These two make a great team.

 I like this shot of Amy and I.  Although it looks like I am pushing her over with my head.   Really, she should take a trip to Texas, right?  Though our grass may not be that lush and green…

    beautiful pics – I LOVE the yellow shoes. It takes a certain kind of style to wear yellow, don’t you think? :)

    I love the yellow and I also love people whose hair looks magnificently shiny and perfectly curled, so pretty. I have such fears about my kids getting older so I love seeing happy family photos with beautiful tweeners and their parents.
    PS Will you just come dress me every morning?

    Wish I could have come to your workshop in Ogden! I’m due to have a baby any day and didn’t think I could risk it. Gorgeous pics! (visiting from Love Stitched).

    The yellow looks awesome with the background in these photos! I’ve loved reading your tips on various blogs and I’ve learned so much. I just came from Love Stitched and she was talking about your workshop she went to. It sounds like an awesome experience! I’m also trying to get better with my camera, and I’ve been practicing a lot by taking family pictures, maternity, and other kinds. Thank you for all your help!
