Sweet Jonas Coleman {until we meet again}

If any of you follow my blog, you'll remember this family.  Last night Jonas went home to his Heavenly Father.  Sweet Jonas and his little sister Maggie have  SMA Type I- it's a terminal genetic disease that results in loss of nerves in the spinal cord and weakness of the muscles connected with those nerves. 
I can't tell you the gratitude I feel for having the privilege of photographing their family.  To have taken part in seeing the love that exists between them, and capturing it.  wow.  I had to re-post these touching images of Jonas and his family that we took just a few weeks ago.  My heart goes out to The Colemans.  

You can visit their blog and send your condolences here. 
If you know someone whose child has a terminal illness, please let them know I am always happy to photograph them free of charge.  I also happen to know many other photographers who would also be willing.  Feel free to pass on this blog and have them contact me!  


   












 















I know this little man touched the lives of every person he met. What a blessing.

Salt Lake Utah Photographer {The Stevens Family}

I photographed this lovely family 2 years ago just after Becki, the amazing mom of this brood, was diagnosed with cancer.  I was so happy to hear from them again!!  This time Becki said she'd been cancer free, until just recently.  She's getting ready to undergo treatment all over again, and she fights this disease.  It's a long road.  What a blessing it is that she has the tremendous love and support of her family.  I tell you this so that today you might love a little deeper, enjoy your family a little more, and appreciate the delicate gift of life.  Please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers.  They truly are an amazing family!

   

Park City Utah Family Photographer {Sneak peek}

Love love loved this shoot!  This family was just too great.  They kept me laughing the entire...really, the entire time.  Rob {the Dad} is a complete crack up and Tiffany just laughs all the time.  Ah...so refreshing.  I just had such a great time.  And the Park City wind didn't even blow us away.  :)

Salt Lake Capitol Building Wedding Photographer {Gonzo and Bonnie}

I had the best time with these two.  We did their bridals...groomals...whatever you'd like to call them, at the Capitol building in Salt Lake.  It was so pretty.  And these two know how to work it.  Aren't they just too gorgeous?  It was even warm enough for us to shoot outside for little bit, good think it wasn't windier or teeeny tiny Bonnie may have been carried away by the wind.  :)  I'm so so excited for their wedding next month!  I may have gone a little overboard in sharing my favorites...but I couldn't help it. We got to go into a few rooms that they usually don't let photographers in, it was pretty much amazing.  One of the rooms I didn't post any from, because I don't know I'm even allowed.  ha, so I'm taking any chances. :)  Enjoy your Monday!
