The Spiral Jetty

Last week I went exploring to the Spiral Jetty with my good friend Kim and her little boy Hudson. We have both been wanting to check it out for a while. We packed a sack lunch and headed out.

Family Photos Sneak Peek

The other day we had our family photos taken by Miesh Photography at The Studio Room in Salt Lake. Miesh was awesome and so patient! The entire session was shot only on film. And baby Scarlett did so good apart from going through 5 diapers in 2 hours haha. Above are a couple photos I snapped on my iphone during the shoot. I am so excited to see how they turn out.

Balloonfest 2015

Last Saturday morning I woke up to a 5am alarm to drive to Eden for the balloonfest. And let me just say, it was worth it. I have gone before, but it never gets old. Watching the huge balloons fill up and launch into the sky just as the sun is rising is just so beautiful! Though it is hard to beat last year, when I got to ride in a balloon and photograph some bridals!
