The Romero family’s session started as a Mother’s Day gift that Dad had given to Mom—a thoughtful surprise that turned into a memorable day for all of us. We originally planned to start at Saltair, but nature had other ideas.

We arrived at Saltair, all set to capture the perfect family photos when we were bombarded by swarming gnats! They were so bad that we barely made it through the first few minutes without being attacked, and as much as we tried to make it work, the biting gnats were just too much. So, we quickly decided to reschedule and head up into the mountains—Tibble Fork, here we come!

And honestly, I’m so glad we did! The change of scenery was perfect. Tibble Fork is one of those spots that feels like an instant escape from the buzz of everyday life, and it was exactly what we needed. We had so much fun, especially with their little guy, who was full of energy and absolutely loving the chance to run around and explore. His excitement was contagious, and it made for some of the best candid moments—his giggles, his little adventures, and his pure joy made this session one I’ll always remember.

Sessions like this, where you just get to let the kids be kids, are always my favorite. It’s those genuine, carefree moments that really capture the spirit of family, and we got plenty of them at Tibble Fork.

In the end, what could’ve been a frustrating situation turned into an unforgettable day. Thank you to the Romero family for being so flexible and making this session such a joy. I hope these photos will bring back those sweet memories of running through the mountains and spending time together as a family. I can’t wait to share these moments with you all!
