Mountain Family Pictures | Logan Utah Photographer

I am so excited to share these mountain family pictures from my shoot in Logan Canyon with the Carlson family!  I just love this family SO MUCH!!  Let’s rewind about 10 years or so…I met the Carlsons while I was working at the North Logan Library.  Kami would often bring her cute kids to the library to check out books, and she was always so sweet and friendly to me and all the other workers.  I loved talking with her and could tell she was such a great mom.  Later on Kami was one of the first parents to support a community art class I started by signing up one of her daughters the very first summer I taught it, and then I became the art teacher at the elementary school her daughters attended.  I loved teaching those girls, they were so kind, creative, helpful and truly a joy to teach!  During my last year of teaching I put out a call for help to parents for a huge project I had coming up…making clay pots with 4 classes full of 30 especially rambunctious fourth graders.  Kami was a lifesaver and volunteered in my classroom multiple times to help me pull off that project without completely losing my mind–even though she didn’t have a child in fourth grade!  She’s seriously a saint.

So it was truly an honor when Kami asked me to take her family pictures while I was visiting Cache Valley.  Spring Hollow Campground up Logan Canyon was such a beautiful location, it was heaven for me to take pictures up in the gorgeous green mountains instead of the brown desert! I’m so glad we got to capture photos of the whole Carlson family together before their oldest son leaves on a mission in a few weeks!  These guys kept me laughing the whole time with their spontaneous humor and it was so enjoyable to capture those funny moments as well as the posed, smiling moments.  It was such a thrill to get to know the whole Carlson family better and see the loving, fun way they interacted together during our photo shoot, and I love the way their wonderful relationships come across in these pictures–it was so hard to choose which shots to include in this blog post, I love them all!
