Schelm Family | Fall Family Photos in Utah

May 23, 2022/ Jennifer Blair

Have you ever wondered what time of year is best for family photos in Utah? I must say it has to be Autumn, hands down. Imagine your precious little ones running through the crunchy colorful leave, a crisp, cool breeze blowing through your hair, the cozy feeling that the warm sunset brings, and the dappled light coming through the colorful trees dancing all around you. It’s a pure, unfiltered beauty surrounding your and your family. Everyone pulls in close to enjoy it together. As you all enjoy the stunning vistas, you also have those beautiful moments frozen in time forever. Autumn is truly the perfect season to have family portraits taken.

A Change of Season | Utah State Capitol Cherry Blossoms

April 13, 2022/ utah state capitol/ Jennifer Blair

The seasons are changing here in Utah. Winter has slowly released it’s grip, and Spring has turned up everywhere you look. Our little neighborhood streets are lined with blooming trees, the dandelions dot the green grass with yellow balls of brightness, and the sunlight pours through our windows until almost 8 PM. It always baffles me how quickly the seasons change, and how excited I am to experience the next one. Our family is entering a new season too, and I’m excited to see it start to open us up to something new.

Motherhood, An Offering| Golden Spike Utah

March 04, 2021/ Jennifer Blair

“This job [of motherhood] has been given to me to do. Therefore, it is a gift. Therefore, it is a privilege. Therefore, it is an offering I may make to God. Therefore, it is to be done gladly, if it is done for Him. Here, not somewhere else, I may learn God’s way. In this job, not in some other, God looks for faithfulness.” (Elisabeth Elliot)

My Double-Portion

January 15, 2021/ Jennifer Blair

For months now I have been praying for a double-portion of the boldness my mom had in sharing the gospel...which is ultimately a request for more of God-Himself. As we have been discovering our calling here in Utah, I have desired that I would be bold when opportunities come may way, just like my mother (and your Amma) who has now gone to be with Jesus. I believe God has answered me, in part, with you two! I have indeed received a double portion.

My three, for now...

January 13, 2021/ Jennifer Blair

Only God could have known and planned our family. As I look back to my days of longing for a home full of children, I’m grateful for His timing. I don’t understand exactly why children come when they do. Some are surprises, and some wait with longing for years and years. Some go through loss after loss. It doesn’t make sense to me, but it does make me grateful. I look at them, fully aware they are a gift and a reward I don’t deserve and did nothing to earn. I think scripture puts it perfectly:
