It had been approximately a million years since I’d seen Jessie and Zack at their wedding, but my oh my what a joy! With baby #3 on her way, we had a fun, golden morning session in this beautiful canyon. Sweet baby bump, blond babies running amok and giggles for days, we all had such a blast! What a perfect reunion!

Families are some of my MOST favorite things to photograph. Honestly, the more the merrier!

When this mama (far right) messaged me about doing a large family session where all the adult kids (some of whom had moved away) would all be home for summer vacation, it was an immediate YES!

Grandma, her three adult kiddos, their spouses and a pile of beautiful grand babies awaited and what fun we had! It was a bit nerve wracking at first as the field we planned to shoot in had JUST been plowed (bye bye golden grasses), but we found a lovely little nature poker with trees and grasses for the must-have portrait shots. Then, we let the littles lead the way and got SO many great candids and organic moments running through dirt, setting up camp under a big tree near the hills. It was pure magic.
