Family Photos at Stewart Falls Trailhead in Provo Canyon

The girls giggled with delight as their parents twirled them around, their brother beamed with pride as he showed me the long piece of grass he had found. As my shutter clicked over and over again, I watched this family radiate with their own joyful light. This is the kind of moment we should hold onto through the ups and downs of life. Everything is not always going to be perfect, from small things like forgetting to check that your child wore the right shoes and having to go all the way back to change them (that may or may not have happened with this family) to big life trials that devastate your heart but we can remember the joy that small moments can bring us. These family photos at Stewart Falls in Provo Canyon helped me to reflect on the joy and sunshine our loved ones can bring to us.

There sure were a lot of joyful moments with this family in the one hour photo session alone! Wyatt and Melissa are personal friends so I happen to know that they have a lot of joyful moments outside of taking their family photos too! ;) They have recently been building up a company calling Giving Sunshine that works to help bring sunshine to people going through hard trials and their loved ones. Definitely go check out their Facebook page after checking out their family photos here at https://www.facebook.com/GivingSunshineDaily

Wyatt and Melissa, you have been such amazing friends and I'm so honored that you asked me to take your family photos (you all look amazing by the way). Your personal sunshine has been an inspiration to me and I look up to you both as an example of self-love, joy, and confidence. I can't wait to share all of your photos with you but for now enjoy a few of these, thank you for being my friend!
