One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is capturing families and this family an extra boost than a normal shoot I typically do!
Kelsey and Kyle had both of their families come together for this photo shoot. Kelsey‘s mom lives in California and contacted me from there, and invited along Kyle’s studded of the family also so that they could get everyone captured.
Kelsey & Kyle met at work 8.5 years ago, in San Jose, CA. They shared a passion for mountains/the outdoors and quickly hit it off. Family is important to each, so meeting the families quickly followed.
Kyle’s sister, Erin and family, live close by to Kelsey’s parents on the Peninsula, so both families met each other soon after. Kelsey was able to watch Lydia & Colson grow from the time they were both infants. Some of their favorite memories with everyone includes Christmas time, where the Phillips/Gisler families were able to rent a cabin a few years in a row, in the same Donner Summit (CA) neighborhood as the Rogind Cabin. The families were able to enjoy several holidays together, walk/ice skate on the frozen lake, sled, ski, etc.! I love how beautiful their relationship is and how they have been able to join both of their families and make such beautiful memories.
For the photo shoot we did half of it in a studio because we wanted to make sure we got photos of the baby in an environment where she was warm and could be happy. Then we headed to the base of the canyon to get photos with the Utah mountains. It was absolutely beautiful and such a great change of pace for them from their California home!
The studio is Photopia Studio in Cottonwood Heights, which is a beautiful natural light studio, I would highly recommend.
