Last year one of our clients & friends the Barney’s, decided to take their family on a family fun surprise day.  They shared with us the events of their surprise & we happened to be part of it.

Mom & Dad (Melissa & Brian) gave invitations to their little ones stating to be ready in their new dresses for their big day.  When the time arrived their first surprise arrived.  Sam with Something Vintage Something Blue, picked them up in his beautiful princess ivy (vintage car).  They all hopped in the gorgeous car ready for an adventure.  Everyone watched as they were riding in style & the girls loved every second of it.  They reached their first destination spot at La Caille in Sandy.  This is where we came in.  One of our master photographers, Justin was their to capture some family shots to help them remember this special day.

After their family photo shoot they traveled down to the fabulous Grand America hotel where they had a little tea party.  If you haven’t had the tasty Grand America’s Afternoon tea, I highly recommend it.  They have lots of different teas, or hot chocolates to choose from & I have even had a scrumptious chilled chocolate drink that was to die for, YUM!!  The afternoon tea comes with finger sandwiches, scones & one of their amazing desserts.  Perfect for a fun day out with the girls or a family day like this one as even Dad enjoyed being pampered.

After their tummies were full Sam drove them to down town Salt Lake City where they were able to enjoy the Christmas Lights at temple square.  It was a memorable evening & their girls loved it.

Here are a few of the family photo’s we captured.

A note from the family:

Justin, Clark & the entire Swensen Photography gang,

Thank you so much for helping make our family fun surprise day one that we will forever remember.  We love the pictures & you captured our girls happiness perfectly.  We love your work & thank you for always doing such an amazing job.  We truly couldn’t ask for a better photographer. We have had the pleasure of having Swensen Photography capture many of our families special moments from our wedding, our newborn images to our family photos & of course the ever fun annual Santa Photo shoot.  We LOVE all of you & appreciate all you do.

Love,

The Barney Family
