Sunflower Family Session | Cross E Ranch | Bray | Whitney Beth Photography
 

I love all things flowers. I've talked before how if I wasn't a photographer, I would hands down be a florist. My photography style tends to follow the bloom pattern of Utah. (I've analyzed it so much that I even wrote a blog post about Utah's bloom schedule and when to book.) So when I heard that Cross E Ranch was putting on a sunflower festival this year, I just knew I had to shoot there. Luckily the sunflower festival is something right up Kara and Justin's alley and they were more than happy to go on a little family date night with Danny, the boys, and I. This was Cross E Ranch's first year putting on the festival and I hope they do it again! They had 14 acres of sunflowers! It was putting out major Pocahontas vibes. Not only were there literal thousands of sunflowers, but there were lots of different types and variations! Each admission ticket came with it's own sunflower, so at the end of the shoot we all got to pick one to bring home with us! Thanks to this shoot, a sunflower field has now been added to the "things to have growing on our venue property." The weather was pretty cloudy and while it was a nice break from the heat wave, I was a little bummed we wouldn't get to have a killer sunset. Luckily, as the sun kept dipping there was a little crack in the horizon and we were blessed with a brilliant, colorful show for that tiny portion of clear sky. We only shot for probably 10 minutes, but thanks to my little assistant, Jonesy, we were able to get some cute smiles out of Q. Just look at how cute of a family they are!
