Anytime Recap: Park City Winter Family Photos

I FINALLY had the chance to sit down and go through the rest of the family sessions I did during the holidays! After this post, you can officially call me caught up on blogging family sessions :) And hopefully it will stay that way. No falling behind this year! (Cross your fingers for me. Ha.) Enjoy a little recap of the families that smiled for my camera in November and December!

The Fine Family:

These guys are pretty much my second family. My uncle Gary and aunt Cheri lived in Illinois while I was in college, and my cousin Alyssa went to the same university in Indiana, so I spent a LOT of time at their house, on weekend getaways and holiday breaks when I couldn’t go home. Made some pretty great memories :) And now Alyssa is living here in Park City, so we spend a lot of time together. Love her like a sister. I don’t want to forget about Alex, though. He’s pretty great, too ;) They came to Park City for Thanksgiving and we were able to squeeze in a quick family shoot!

The Bartz Family:

I went to the Bartz’s home on blustery day, and I had a great time with this family! We stayed warm for a bit and did puzzles and decorating inside before heading outside to play in the fresh snow.

The Christensen Family:

The Christensen’s win the award for coldest shoot! They came into town for the holidays, and on the day of their session the winds were freezing! We only shot for about half an hour because it was so chilly. But that didn’t keep them from smiling and laughing together.

The Eckert Family:

This family is sooo much fun!! You may recognize Jessica and Gavin from their amazing wedding this fall. When they called me for a family shoot, I knew it was going to be just as awesome. The weather was going crazy, but they just went with it and had a great time being together! My favorite is the funny hat photo ;)

The Kimble Family:

The Kimbles are always an awesome family to work with! Crew is one of the cutest kids ever, and now that his little brother Redford is here, it’s double the cuteness. Seriously, can you believe those blue eyes?! Love this fam :)

The Yager Family:

This is yet another family that I love dearly! Abi and McKayla are in my small group from church, and I have seriously enjoyed having them be a part of it. They are hilariously witty and yet so intelligent and excited to learn. Needless to say, we laugh a lot :) And Darren and Cindy are pretty great parents. They’re not so bad to be around either ;)

The Calkins Family:

The last time I saw Valerie and Jaden, they were waiting for adorable miss Penelope to arrive! But she’s here now, and while Valerie’s family was in town for Christmas, I got to meet her in person :) It wasn’t the warmest afternoon, but they were all smiles during the shoot! Then again, it’s impossible not to smile back at Penelope’s sweet face…

The Maddux Family:

Sharon wanted some photos of her boys while her oldest son was home from college, and I was happy to oblige! Devon, Cameron, and Grayson make quite the handsome trio if you ask me. And we had some gorgeous light! I definitely enjoyed hanging out with this family :)

All in all I’d say I got to work with some pretty wonderful families this winter!! :)
