Merry Christmas!

25 December 2011

Long time no post! Guess that's a reflection of how busy this last month has been. I've been reduced to posting just little previews on my facebook page lately. I will definitely get back to blogging with the turn of the new year and I have so many awesome sessions to share!

In the meantime... just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas!! Hope yours has been wonderful, magical, and fun. What a happy time of year. I know we've been having a great time so far! I'm excited for another new year that's just around the corner and the new experiences and opportunities that await. Have a wonderful holiday season!  Catch up with y'all soon.

James | Utah Newborn Photographer

06 December 2011

Meet sweet little 8-day-old James! I was so excited to meet this little guy and also to meet his new parents, who are just fun and wonderful people. I love getting to know awesome people! My streak of baby boy newborn sessions continued with this little guy and I loved every minute of it. How lucky am I to be able to capture all the perfect details of these sweet little babies, straight from heaven! He didn't want to sleep as much, but even when he was awake he hardly cried. I think he just didn't want to miss out on any of the action! Thanks again, Jordan and Chelsie, for allowing me to capture you and little James during this happy time!

And last but not least, I had to share these final shots. James definitely had us laughing with some of his funny facial expressions! I can just picture him thinking, "who IS this lady and what is she taking pictures of me for??"

Emily & Aaron | Utah Portrait Photographer

02 December 2011

Well on this dreary cold day, I'd like to bring back a little bit of spring sunshine with these cute photos of my sister and her husband! Yes, I shot these back in May... and I'm finally catching up with my blogging a little and wanted to share a few. Emily and Aaron both work so hard and are incredibly smart and are going to go on to amazing things! Aaron is finishing up law school right now and Emily is in her final year of family medicine residency and will be joining a family practice group next year! I think that's pretty darn cool. These guys are too cute together and we love having Aaron as a part of our family. Enjoy a few shots from our "mini" session, shot out in Colorado in my parents' big, beautiful backyard.

Eddie and Liv | Springville, Utah Child Birthday Photographer

28 November 2011

My adorable little blond-haired, blue-eyed niece and nephew are back! It is crazy to think how quickly these little ones have grown up before my eyes. Alivia was the very first newborn (besides my own child) that I ever photographed, and her newborn post is actually the oldest one on my blog. (A little nostalgia for you HERE... it's amazing to see how much my photography has evolved!)... Now she's a very grown up almost-three-year-old and we had to celebrate with a photo session!  It's pretty nice that she and Eddie have such close birthdays because we can do both of their birthday photos in the same session.  :)  It is always so fun to see the growth progression on all of the kids I have been lucky enough to photograph over the last couple years, and it's no exception with these two cuties.

Eddie is also growing up way too fast.  Here's a look at his newborn session and his 6 month session.  Time sure flies!  He is such a sweet little guy and is definitely entering the active toddler stage!  The great thing about 1 year sessions is that you can plunk a birthday cake in front of them just as they are getting ready to completely abandon ship, and you can get a handful of fun and priceless images.  Good times.  All of these cake shots make me hungry...

A couple quick side notes, my Black Friday 30% off print sale is still going on through December 2nd.  Don't miss this great opportunity to give the gift of your images this holiday season!  Also, I'm booking a very limited number of sessions for 2012.  I've posted more info and my session calendar under the "investment" tab.  I encourage you to book early if you would like to reserve a spot, because once they're gone, they're gone!  Now, back to Eddie and Liv's photos!

22 November 2011

I recently had the privilege of photographing my good friend Karen's darling family! You may remember her maternity session earlier this spring. I know how excited they were to welcome their beautiful little girl into their family, and I can tell just when I am with them how much love they have for her!  Enjoy this little preview from their session.

Also, don't forget... only ONE day left to enter the InPrint Designs giveaway!!  Win a darling card design to send out to all of your loved ones this holiday season.  Winner announced tomorrow afternoon.

Back to the photos! :)
