Lindsay - Maternity

If I've skipped over a shoot of yours I apologize. I just feel like I'll never be able to catch up on my blog! But as many of you know, I had my studio special last week! It was fabulous and I had fun learning more about shooting in my studio. Out of all my shoots from last week, hands down,  Lindsay was my favorite!

Trevor

Tuesday I took portraits of Trevor who is heading out to Canada next week to serve a two year mission for The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints. His mom wanted some good photos of him before he left. Plus he just got his pilots license so we had to get photos of him in his jacket and shades! :)

Kyle & Sarah - Utah Open House

Saturday was Kyle and Sarah's Utah Open House /  Reception. It was in my church building and my side of the family got together to decorate to the best of our abilities ;) I came up with the center piece ideas (with the help of one of my sister in laws) and the idea for the cake... who our family friend made beautifully! Everything turned out great and we got a lot  of compliments. We also had a great time visiting with family members who came from out of state!

Jaxson - 1 month

I just finished up a shoot with an adorable 4 week old named Jaxson. I used to work with Jaxson's mom a few years back and even photographed their wedding 3 years ago. It was nice to play catch up and to meet the newest member of her family :)

Preview

Ryder - 5 days

The past couple of days I've been on a major prop hunt for newborn portraits. I've been pretty bored with my usual stuff and thought it was about time to upgrade. I tested out a few of my new props on 5 day old Ryder. Aren't the pictures just too cute?!

Preview

Allisan - Head Shots

Today I took some head shots of Allisan for her web design business! I've photographed Allisan's daughter and her sisters wedding. It's always fun to see returning clients and familiar faces :)

The Schultz

Friday we finished up the shoot that we started with Maya last week. We decided to split their baby portrait session and family session between 2 different days. This time we added in Maya's 18 month old brother! Here's what we got...

Nicole & Bryce - Engagements

From the very beginning Nicole told me she wanted unique engagements. She's a fun outgoing gal and wanted something you don't see too often. I sent her some ideas and told her props make a big difference when wanting something unique. So what did we come up with??! Balloons and snowboards!

Preview

Maya - 1 month

Friday after Madison's shoot I photographed a darling one month old named Maya. She did SO fabulous and was flying through the poses I typically do for newborns. Because of this I was able to try out some new poses on her :)

Preview

Madison - 1 year

Three months ago I photographed Madison's 9 month portraits. I was so excited to see her again for her 1 year portraits! She's so stinkin cute and we got some great shots!

Jacque, Christine & Kim

Yesterday after Ambriel's portraits I had these three beautiful sisters come over for a test shoot! I work so much with babies and families that I don't really get the chance to photograph teens and young adults in my studio. Here's the fun shots we got! :)

Ambriel - 1 month

I photographed Jordan and Diego's engagements last year and was thrilled to hear that they have a little baby girl for me to photograph :) So cute!

Preview

Just for fun!

After Saturdays photo session canceled due to a sick baby I was totally in the mood to shoot. I've realized that over the past couple of years I've been concentrating so much on clients that I haven't shot for myself. I really wanted to do something fun, but work on my portraits at the same time. So I set up a little "play date" for Ian (my hubby) and two of his friends. Little did they know that I had made up a scheme to photograph them :) Here's what we got!!

Preview

Sadie - 7 months

I am very excited to show you the adorable 7 month portraits I took of Sadie! My sister is so sweet to buy me new props in trade of photos of her children. Here's some pictures of this new prop and many others I have!

Preview

Kyle & Sarah - Engagements

Monday I photographed Kyle and Sarah's engagements. I LOVE how they turned out! It was a rainy day, but that didn't stop us. We just went out and got an adorable purple polka dot umbrella!

Kyle & Sarah

Friday evening my little brother's Fiance flew in for a visit. She lives in California and comes to visit every few weeks. So this time around we thought we'd take advantage of her time here and take some pictures! These weren't meant to be their official engagement portraits, but they sure turned out cute!!
