The location, the dress, the bride. It all went together so perfectly.

Family Time! Photos by Davina Fear

I'm just so excited about these family pictures we got taken by one of my favorite photographers in Utah, Davina Fear. I knew I wanted some family pictures that reflected the true nature of my family. I didn't want the standard "look here and smile" pictures. Plus my little Violet is approaching a very beastly age where she wants it her way, or no way. So the thought of trying to get pictures of her looking sweet and pleasant, and smiling for the camera was a very stressful thought indeed. So I called Davina, an amazing photojournalist who takes pictures as they happen. She doesn't spend hours making sure your hands are placed just right, or your hair is perfectly in place. She encourages you to go out and do something fun with your family, and then captures your REAL family, as they really are. We went to a park, then to an ice cream shop, and then to the beach at Antelope Island. We had such a great time!! And Davina captured all of that for us. These pictures are SO precious to me. I love them so much!

I LOVE LOVE these bridals. Andrea brought along her cello and I think it made for such a unique and beautiful look. I LOVED Andrea's dress. It was so unique with the colored embroidery. And Andrea looked absolutely gorgeous!! Take a look...

PK and Hanny

Meet Parker and Hannah. Also known as PK and Hanny. These adorable kids are the children of Kristin, one of my very best friends from high school (and still one of my best friends today.)

I have very fond memories of high school with Kristin. Like sneaking out of our houses at 3 a.m. and rolling her car out of the driveway to go to the store and buy the latest edition of Soap Opera Digest. We just had to know what was happening on Days Of Our Lives when we missed a few episodes. And doing things to our evil ex-boyfriends like getting all the subscription forms out of EVERY SINGLE MAGAZINE at the grocery store and filling them out with our exes names and addresses, and checking the "Bill Me Later" box. Good times.

Anyways.....we started out at Riverwoods....





But the kids thought it was kind of boring so we went and played at a park (aka my neighbors house)....


And jumped on the trampoline.....

And had races....(yes that is my giant, fat dog Sienna in the background)....


And went to the field to look for bugs....







And just had a good time. Her kids were so sad when they had to leave. Now that is a successful children's portrait session in my opinion!
