Once A Year | Roseville Extended Family Photographer

​”You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.”

-Frederick Buechner

My family gets together each summer and we are so lucky that everyone is able to make it. We come from both sides of the country and it is such a blessing to be all in one spot. We rent a big house that we can fit in and we pack in activities for a few days. Family pictures are a top priority. We found this amazingly beautiful location in the mountains in Utah close to our rental house and enjoyed the beautiful light and weather while we took pictures. I bring my tripod and remote and we snap away. By the end, I am so sweaty from running around getting everyone’s photos, but it is so much fun. I love being able to look back at how much our family has grown and look forward to more growing. I hope my children can look at these photos and pictures from other years and see how much they are loved by each one of these family members. We don’t take this time for granted and I’m so glad we can document it.
