The Bates Family needed to schedule a session quick before their daughter left on her LDS mission. When they arrived, we realized we had lots of mutual friends!
It immediately felt like we weren’t meeting for the first time at all, but rather catching up with old friends. That instant connection made the session flow so easily.
We chose this beautiful location in Cache Valley, Utah because it gives such a timeless backdrop. The summer light that evening was soft and golden, perfect for highlighting their coordinated outfits and their warm family dynamic.
I love photographing families during milestone seasons like this.
There’s a mix of excitement and tenderness that naturally comes through—parents looking at their almost-grown children, siblings trying to memorize time together before life changes.
Bates Family, thank you for trusting me with these memories!
