Merry Christmas!

23 December 2017

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!  I had to jump on here and share a few fun photos I just took of my girls for the holidays.  I love the ages they are at!  The last few years, I have taken them out almost every season to get updated photos.  Why not, right?  They are only little for so long, and the fact that we have four amazing seasons here in Utah means there is always a new beautiful backdrop to be captured!  I'm loving how these sweet snowy winter wonderland photos turned out that I took yesterday.  We added a furry family member to our family this year... our cat, Oreo.  The girls absolutely adore this kitty and play with her all day long.  They begged me to bring her along for these photos.  How could I refuse? :)  I couldn't stop smiling at the sight of them pulling her on the sled in her cat carrier.

I just have to say thank you all for such an amazing year.  I'm way behind on keeping this blog current, but I hope to get lots of new posts coming now that my busy fall season is winding down.  I have so many gorgeous sessions to share still!  I had my busiest year ever, and captured so many adorable babies and beautiful families.  I can't wait to see what 2018 brings.  Stay tuned to my social media accounts... I'm kicking the new year off with a giveaway!  Also, if you love this amazing winter backdrop, shoot me an email and we can plan your very own winter wonderland photo session in the next couple months!  I absolutely love photographing families and children in our gorgeous winter landscape!

Without further ado, here are some of those fun photos.  Merry Christmas!


November and December 2017 Mini Sessions

17 October 2017

Bundle up in those cute winter clothes and get ready for some final mini sessions of the year!  I can't believe this year is already coming to a close soon!  This fall has been my busiest, by far.  Thank you so much to all of you who have reached out to me for your photography needs this year!  It has been amazing to meet so many great new families!

I am booked through the end of October, but I do have some November and December options for those of you still hoping to squeeze in portraits in time for those holiday cards!  The fall colors will be mostly all gone, but I still love the gorgeous greens and browns in our landscape this time of year.  If we are lucky, we will even get some snow in the higher locations in the mountains as it gets into December!  I can also provide the holiday props you see in these first few photos, upon request.  Feel free to bring your own fun holiday props, hot chocolate, or anything else you would like to make it your own!

Mini sessions are 30 minutes long, include 20 digital images of your choice, with the option to purchase more images at $5 per photo.  Session fee is $200 and is allowable for immediate families, maternity, couples, or children/siblings.
