We were contacted by this great family a few weeks ago, and they wanted to get some family pictures taken and also participate in The Keep Smiling Project fundraiser that we are holding for the Norris Family. The first go-round we had to reschedule due to some typical Utah, Spring weather. But, in the end we were able to get a great location that was perfect for this couple and their little baby girl. I am very pleased with how they turned out!
Weddings/Bridals/Etc. aren’t normally something that I shoot, or that you will see here on my blog…but this time I was persuaded by my sister-in-law Emily and her now husband Ryan. We had some delays with her dress coming in, so this bridal/formal shoot was only done a few days before the actual wedding. However, we did manage to get them done and even get a few prints for the reception. The two of them have been dating for as long as I can remember, and I am so happy for the both of them to continue their lives together.
Check out the images below and leave a comment letting me know what you think…really though, don’t be afraid…leave a comment.

Last year my family (and a lot of other participants) embarked on a project that would prove to be incredibly rewarding on many levels. The Keep Smiling Project was the name that we gave it, and you can find out a lot more about it by looking at our blog here. I also did a post about some of the activities on my blog here.
I will say that one of the hardest parts of taking on a project similar to this, is that you begin to realize how many individuals and families there are that could use a helping hand. This is where I will introduce you to the Norris Family.
They are a beautiful family of 4 and on March 22, 2013 the father, Kevin, was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma to his brain and lungs. His condition is very serious and he underwent neurosurgery to stop a massive brain bleed that the tumor in his brain was causing. This is a huge shock to his family and friends, and especially to his wife and 2 young children.
I am currently booking special full and mini sessions that will help raise funds for the Norris family.
Standard Family Portrait Session
Mini Family Portrait Session
If you are interested in booking a session, please contact me at the link above, or email us at thekeepsmilingproject@gmail.com.
If you aren’t in need of a portrait session, but would still like to get involved, please click here to see our current fundraising projects. Or you can go here to donate to a fund that has been started in his name.
A Facebook page was also started for him, like the page here.
Remember 100% of all donations go directly to the family!

Last year was a great year for me as a photographer, as well as for my entire family as we were able to do something special for others. If you have followed my posts then you have likely heard about The Keep Smiling Project that my family has started. We had a lot of support for this project, and are so grateful to all of the families that participated in any way. So, here is a quick list of all of the people that we wanted to thank (in no particular order):
And then to all of these amazing families that booked a photo shoot with us:
The result of all of this work was that we were able to send a family to Disneyland! Here are a few pictures that they sent us from their trip this last November. They are an amazing family, and such an inspiration to us in so many ways.
We’re so excited about things we have planned for The Keep Smiling Project in 2013! If you know of an inspirational family that has been affected by cancer or other life-changing conditions, let us know at thekeepsmilingproject@gmail.com.
