It had been far too long since I last saw the Morton Family! I couldn’t believe how much Ellie and Olivia had grown since our last photo session. The last time I photographed them, the girls were dressed in adorable Easter outfits, looking so tiny and sweet. This time, it was the whole family in front of my camera, and let me tell you—it was an absolute joy to capture them together!

Family photography sessions like this one are always special, but this one was filled with so much fun and laughter that I could barely keep up. The entire family of four was ready to play from the moment we started. Charles, Angela, and their girls had a natural connection that made my job as a photographer a dream. I encouraged them to interact with each other, and every little prompt turned into something more playful and memorable. Whether it was twirls, tosses, or tickles, every moment brought out genuine smiles that lit up my camera lens.

What truly stood out during this session was watching how Charles and Angela engaged with their daughters. I noticed how much Charles loves making his girls laugh. There was a tender sweetness in how he’d sneak in little moments with them, and I found myself not wanting to lower my camera too soon. One of the highlights was when I asked Charles and Angela to focus on the girls, and just as I was about to stop shooting, Charles surprised Angela with a quick kiss. It was such a candid, heartwarming moment that perfectly captured the love and connection they share as a couple and parents.

As a photographer based here in Salmon, Idaho, I treasure family sessions like this because they’re about more than just the perfect pose. It’s about capturing those unscripted, authentic moments that families will cherish for years to come. The Morton Family’s session was full of those moments—beautiful smiles, playful energy, and love that radiated with every interaction.

Whether you're looking for candid, fun-filled family photos or a chance to freeze these special moments in time, I’m always excited to help create lasting memories for families like the Mortons. If it’s been a while since your last family photoshoot, let’s make it happen! With the gorgeous natural backdrops Salmon, Idaho has to offer, we can make your family photos something truly magical.
