When I started doing photography, I never expected how many people coming to Utah on vacation would contact me for family pictures. I love this for a couple of reasons. First, what a great way to have memories from your vacation! Of course phone pictures are great, but how neat is it to take documenting your vacation one step further-these are pictures that will hang in your home, become a photo book, and more and at the same time remind you of fun family vacation. My second reason for loving this is a little selfish. Sometimes I get travel envy-don't we all? These sessions are always a great reminder though that I live in an area that is a travel destination in and of itself. I'm used to the red rocks, and I'm definitely guilty of taking the beauty of Utah for granted. These sessions are a good reminder that I have all sorts of adventure opportunities here in my backyard.
