Mason and his cute parents.I have just loved photographing little Mason over the past year and seeing him grow! Look how little he was here in this Christmastime shoot! So adorable! He got so much hair by Easter I couldn’t believe it. What a handsome little guy! Here he is with Mufasa the Bunny at the…

After meeting Margret for the first time I came away with the distinct impression that if the up and coming generation is anything like her, we are in very good hands! I don’t even know where to start with Margret, she is just such a lovely person inside and out. Samantha Barrows was the hair…

It is a rare combination to find someone so smart, talented, kind, and beautiful and yet so unaware of these qualities in themselves to the effect of making that person even more endearing. That would be Mia. I’m so so glad that I have had the good fortune of crossing paths with Mia and for the opportunity…

From the suburbs of Dallas, to the backwoods in Utah, this 2016 senior is one to watch! Lydia is the perfect picture of poise and grace. As I was huffing and puffing my way up the mountain with my camera gear to get to just the right spot I felt totally out of shape and I…

It may or may not be true that Scott could have been a contender for the new land speed record based on how long it took him to drive his family from Salt Lake City to the Bonneville Salt Flats! It really is no small feat to drive two small children to a photo shoot…

We like to joke in the Franson Family that I dated Dawn and her sister before I dated my husband Jared, their little brother, and it’s kind of true! Jared and I met on an online dating site and we hit it off from the beginning as we talked and texted back and forth. However, both…

Last month was my 20th high school reunion {gasp!} so I headed down to Cache Valley to mix and mingle with some familiar faces. Two of those familiar faces were Doug and Becky Larson, former classmates of mine at Sky View High School in Smithfield, Utah. Although Doug and Becky are both from Cache Valley…

 A few months ago my sister asked me if I would donate a photo session to the Silent Auction Fundraiser for the Junior League of Ogden. My sister is the president of the Ogden chapter of the Junior League and the Junior League is such a great organization so of course I said yes! This…
