Spring in St. George, Utah

Spring in St. George is pure magic—and Tonaquint Gardens is one of my favorite places to capture it. The blooming flowers, soft greenery, and golden light make it the perfect backdrop for timeless family photos. This year’s spring mini sessions were a beautiful mix of families in every season of life—from young children to teens to grown kids. It was such a joy to work with each of them and freeze these moments in time.

Tonaquint Gardens offers so much variety in a short walking distance, which makes it ideal for mini sessions. We had gorgeous soft light filtering through the trees, blooming florals, and plenty of space for kids to move and explore.
