Lockharts at the Lotus Temple

My Friends the Lockharts asked me to do some pictures of just the kids, so we decided to go to the local Krishna Temple here in Spanish Fork, UT. It looks rather impressive from the road and while there were some fun places to take pictures, they charged us $20 and it was a little dirty (mostly bird poop, which little children don't like to sit on, even if it's dry) It was fun and I'm almost done with all of the pictures, but here are my favorites so far. Enjoy ALS

Fall Family fun

The last couple of weeks I've enjoyed taking family pictures, it's been such a fun time. The kids have been great and the weather has been perfect, especially in November and only 50 degrees. A neighbor and their family asked me to take pictures, which was fun, the kids were so cute. My sister-in-law and her family celebrated Thanksgiving together and I got to take their pictures. My cousins live in Provo and I got to take their pictures as well. It's been a busy couple of weeks! Hope you enjoy them. Amy

More fall fun

It's fall and my busiest time of year for family photos. I haven't done any weddings lately, which is good because the more pregnant I get the less I want to chase after a bride and groom. Chasing after a family is much more fun and a little less tiring, plus kids will only smile for so long so it's usually a quick shoot. Here's a starter picture, I took my friends family to the local trail and at the end we got this picture, I like that it's a little dark and you can get the feel of the night coming on with your best buddies. I only processed the one last night and will post more when I get them done. I really liked the feel of it so tell me what you think. Thanks, Amy

Fall Fun

So my husband has jokingly called this one "frustration" if you look closely you can see a fishing lure stuck in a tree. I waited to try and get a fish jumping out of the water but they were feeling camera shy. Oh well, I still like the reflection and the unused lure waiting for the nonexistent bite.

Setting the self timer and getting my pregnant self into a well composed picture was a bit of a challenge, but I love the light in this picture and everyone is mostly happy.

My cute DD found this leaf and loved it, I love her expression.

This is the cute Gasaway family, they were so fun to shoot.

The Tompsons were also a great shoot. The kids did really well smiling for the camera, it's such a hard thing to do.

Hi All,

I've had a couple of great shoots recently. I took pictures of the Thomson Family and the Gasaway Family and then did our own family pictures. I had such a fun time with each family, their pictures turned out great and I'm excited to keep doing more. Hope you all are having a great fall. Love, Amy

catching up

These apples were at the market as well, they just looked so tasty, it must be fall :)


I did an article for the paper and took this at the local farmers market. They were such a happy family enjoying everything there, it was fun to see them having such a good time.



These are all my nephews and kids for my mom's Christmas picture. She wanted to send this with her cards, it was a crazy shoot, but so fun and amazingly most of the kids are looking the right way, we had so much fun with the kids. It really turned out great.













This is my dear friend, she came from Mass, so we had to take pictures, this is my fav!!! Thanks Kathleen!

One afternoon we took these pics at the park for a neighborhood family, this is one of my favorites, just because they were having so much fun playing.

It's no good to feel tired and pregnant though. It leaves me not wanting to update pictures which is bad. Here are some recent pictures I've taken. Enjoy. Amy

Wind Farm

This photo was featured on the front page of the Sapnish Fork Press. It was huge. I learned so much about wind farms, I think we should build more. Enjoy, Amy

Weddings, Weddings

I've had interesting wedding experiences lately. I read an article interviewing wedding professionals and their take on whether marriages would last based on their limited view of the couple during a high stress period in their lives. They thought they could and I think to some degree they are right. At some weddings you can tell that the couple just like each other, of course there is the physical attraction, but mostly they enjoy being together. Sometimes it's all about the physical attraction and I must admit I feel like a voyeur at times with those couples and it's very uncomfortable for me. Weddings are an interesting affair and it's interesting to be witness to someones special day. It's interesting to meet the family and feel the dynamics and be a fly on the wall documenting so much. I hope you enjoy these pics of my latest weddings. Enjoy, Amy
