Southern Utah Family Portraits in a Ghost Town

One of the biggest compliments a photographer can get is when a fellow “tog” hires you to capture her family portraits! We were touched when our friend McKenzi of M. Felt Photography asked us to photograph her and her family. McKenzi is a great photographer. (In fact, we’ve hired her to photograph our own wedding in October!) But she’s also an amazing person with a gorgeous family as well!

We had wonderful time exploring the abandoned ghost town of Grafton, Utah with these guys. Located a few miles outside Zion National Park, the town is famous for its pioneer charm. The few buildings left include a rustic school house, barn, and a couple farm houses … one of which was used in the filming of the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Enjoy this peek at our sunset session in a ghost town!

You have to cross this awesome iron bridge on your way to the ghost town. We couldn’t help but stop and take a few images here!

I love the golden glow behind these guys as they smiled on a farm house porch.

You’ve gotta admire a man who can rock a mauve bow-tie like Joey can!
