You’d can’t tell by the warmth in their faces but it was freeeeeeezing when we shot these photos! The Utah State Capitol Building is a beautiful backdrop and going in the winter definitely means less crowds than other times of year. Just bring warm coats for the in between photo times.
Soft baby skin…sweet baby smell…just gotta smoosh your face right into that cheek.
Photos like this need to be up on walls, not in a file folder on your computer. I am a firm believer in prints. Let me help you decorate your home with images you and your kids will always cherish.
I love when families want a gallery wall with a family portrait and individuals. Kids love to see themselves on the walls of their home. They feel important and loved. Capturing kids in all their stages is one of my favorite things about photography. It freezes time and lets us revisit it. The older my kids get the more sentimental I am about their photographs from years past.
I felt so lucky to be asked to photograph this special day. This is my friend, Natalie, whom I’ve known since our days back in Iowa. We both moved there from Utah with our very little littles and felt far away from our families. After some tough years, she had this glorious day where she was sealed to her sweetheart, Chris. In the LDS faith, sealing is believed to continue relationships beyond this life. Look at those smiles! Pure joy–and totally overrides the fact that we shot these photos in 100-degree noon heat. I’m looking forward to summer, but maybe not that hot!
I have been so blessed to be able to photograph multiple sets of twins over the years. It is a whole different ball game–trying to get both of them to sleep at the same time and not needing at least one of them to eat or have their diaper changed . . . and I’m just the photographer, not the mother or father!!! So much physical, mental, and emotional devotion to care for these new ones. But you can see the love in these parents’ eyes, and in big sister’s too. It’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done and your greatest joy all at the same time.
Oh, how I love summer and green and aspens! This gorgeous mama was looking for a beautiful family photo and individual portraits of each her kids to hang on the wall up her stairs. She’d done fall colors in the past, but was looking for light and summery this time around. I think we got exactly what she was looking for
Such a fabulous day with Nick and Lindsey. Lindsey is from the Northwest and so the little rain we got outside didn’t even phase her. She and Nick were smiles all day long. And Nick’s two adorable daughters in their cream and gold dresses…perfection! So many more photos I could post, but here’s a snippet of their beautiful day.
I was asked by a good friend and photographer, Kailey Glauser, to be a second photographer at a wedding reception recently. Being a second is lots of fun because you just get to casually walk around and capture all the fun behind-the-scenes photos. I LOVE weddings–everyone is so happy and everything is so beautiful! I am finally at a stage with my kids that I can open my schedule up to weddings…so spread the word! I’d love to capture images like these for many more people! Please share my name and number with anyone getting married!
It was really fun to do both a boy and girl senior session while in Hawaii. Congratulations Nick! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for you in the upcoming years!
I got to go to Hawaii in March and was lucky enough to do 3 photo shoots while there, so more blog posts to come. McKayla graduates in just a few weeks! Isn’t she beautiful!
