Van Milligan Kids

I have known Mike for about two and a half years and when his wife came to me to take their children's portraits I was ecstatic to do so. Mike has a huge heart and has helped me a lot with several projects around the house including moving us into our house! Here are several picture of their kids… I took these just last week!






His son Casey is a senior and I really wanted to focus on making him feel like a senior. If you want your senior portraits to have a creative touch to them, feel free to contact me at 801.201.6445.

Sprik Family Portraits!

Lorna and Kent have several adult girls and Lorna was wanting at least some grand baby pictures… Again I hope you enjoy.


And I hope you might consider calling or emailing me so that I could take your family portraits as well!

Veurink Family Portraits

Right after photographing my first wedding I had several families ask me for portraits of either grandkids, kids or the whole family.


The Veurink family asked me to take family portraits before their son went back to college. We went to Murray Park in Murray, Utah to take these pictures. Hope you enjoy!

More Menning's!

The Menning's recently adopted a baby boy. They wanted some three month photographs of him, and at the same time I thought it would be great to get a few photographs of the rest of the kids with their new brother. Kara suggested some photographs with her kids in the trees and the tree had a huge base to it where it would easily fit their new boy securely. Kara did not think to have him in the tree but I thought it would be a great backdrop. Let me know what you think.

Flikkema's

The Flikkema's asked me a while back to take portraits of their girls. I took a lot of different photographs of the girls and here are a few of them. The main focus of these portraits was to get great photographs of their youngest daughter!

Life and portraits...

So a lot has happened since the last time I posted... Personally, I have been working on the basement of our house. We have been in the process for over the last year or so, to finish it off. We have been though a lot. A lot of people have stated that they have wanted to help out but only a few have. That being said, Mike Van Milligen has been a big help through all of this recently! He has helped me think through flow of the space and has been there to help with plumbing and framing and other things! I also appreciated a dear friend John Anderson and his helper Greg Collins who rewired the basement in a day!

On the business side of things I have two portrait shoots below that I have worked on during this time that I have not posted yet.

Mike G. is someone who works with my wife Taryn. We went to Wheeler Farm in Murray, Utah and had a fun time. Mike's son David had a lot of different expressions. I tried to capture it in the collage I put together for Mike. Mike is a great guy that loves his son! One of the most memorable things was David kept on asking how many pictures were left to take. Very reminiscent of my childhood when I would ask my parents are we there yet!





The second session was of Jim and Lynn G.




Several months ago we had lunch with Jim and Lynn at which point they wanted to get their family portraits taken but Jim had just had knee surgery. Long story short, we just got around to taking the pictures two weeks ago. Jim and Lynn have three boys that I really enjoyed getting to know. The boys are full of energy and love being boys and playing killer bunnies (card game for those who do not know). My wife and I both enjoyed spending time with them and look forward to developing a friendship with them.
