Beautiful Bride • Utah Bridal Photography

I had the wonderful honor of donating my services and a portrait package recently to the Living Planet Aquarium, when they had their fundraiser to bring PENGUINS to Utah! 

La Caille hosted the evening's events, complete with a wonderful dinner, fun hosts for the evening and both silent and live auctions. Heather Brown Photography donated both a family sitting as well as a family portrait package. We were so excited to have help raised over one thousand dollars to bring the penguins here. 

Kristie and Gregory were the happy recipients of the family portrait package and were lucky enough to be getting married the following week. So, we did a combination family/bridal sitting that was a blast! We had such a great time, and this wonderful couple's love filled the studio.  I am so happy that they found each other. 

They had an amazing story to go along with their love. They both are from Utah, and have family here. They both, through numerous events in their lives, ended up living in New Jersey a mere 10 minutes away from each other. So where would you guess that they met? In Utah? In New Jersey? No- it couldn't be that easy... they met in CHICAGO! In the airport, no less. Their story can be read Here.

Without further commentary, meet Kristie, Gregory and (Gregory's son) Jason! 

Gregory's love for his son was so touching. You can just tell that they are the best of buddies. 

Jason was the cutest little eight year old. He adores Kristie and they have so much fun together! 

Isn't Kristie just gorgeous? Gregory absolutely LOVES this image of her. 

I love how their happiness just shines through in their images. They are so perfect for each other! 

Kristie MADE this amazing dress herself. The detail on it is amazing! She is such a talented lady. 

We all fell in love of this image of Gregory. He is so handsome! 

I love how serenely beautiful she is! 

This is a perfect example of how our entire session went! So much fun, laughter and love. It was so great! 

What can I say Kristie and Gregory? I had such a wonderful time getting to know all three of you! You are a wonderful couple and I think that you are perfect for each other. I'm so grateful that you were the recipients of my donated package. Not only did I get to give to a wonderful cause... but I also was able to meet some great people and and have a fun day with you! 

I wish you a long and happy life together. Come back and see me whenever you are in Utah!

Beautiful Maternity • Utah Maternity Photographer

Kelcee is a darling, sweet and happy mommy-to-be, and when she came in for her maternity session we had such a fun time! She was willing to try anything and her images turned out so beautifully!

Kelcee came in for her ordering session and picked these gorgeous images for a storyboard. I can't wait to see it printed! 

Kelcee, thank you so much for trusting me with such a special time in your life! You look beautiful and I'm so excited to meet your new little guy. We'll see you in a couple of weeks!

Sweet Baby Charlie • Salt Lake Baby Photographer

I love clients who own their own businesses. It's so fun to see what ideas other people come up with. This awesome client owns a business that sells these wonderful 'bibbies' for babies. They are darling shirt-style bibs that are so cute! I wish that i'd had them when my children were small. Check her designs out at www.dillydallychic.com.  

Sweet little Charlie was so much fun to photograph. He came to me at nearly a month old, which is a bit old for a newborn, but he was great! He was sleepy and sweet the whole time. He hardly fussed and was quickly comforted when his momma snuggled with him. 

Charlie is such a special baby! He was adopted by his mother and their two terriers, Stella and Winnefred. These dogs were so darling! We had an interesting time getting them to pay attention to the baby when what they really wanted was the treat! They are so cute. Charlie is a lucky boy to have such a loving Momma, and two built in best friends as he grows! 

Charlie's Momma got this image in a 20x30 canvas. It is so beautiful! I love it when parents go big with their newborn's images. It's a piece of art that they'll love forever!

I love this content baby with a full tummy. 

Charlie's mom brought in these darling overalls and I love this little bum shot! I love his little feet curling under him, and how you can see his dark hair.

Charlie hadn't yet begun to smile, but he sure gave his momma a sweet smile here! We were so thrilled to have captured it! 

I love his bright shining eyes. He is so precious! 

Charlie's momma and I both adored this image of him curled up in her arms. What a sweet little family. 

Thank you so much for bringing sweet little Charlie to me for his newborn pictures. I loved getting to know both of you and your cute dogs too! I look forward to watching Charlie grow!

Perfect little Paisley • Salt Lake City Baby Photography

This adorable little angel was two months old when her mommy brought her in for her session. Normally I try to get babies in before they are 10 days old, but this client came to me from Wyoming, and couldn't get here any sooner. I wondered at first how she would do, but, bless her little heart, Paisley fell asleep and was such an angel the whole session. See? 

This is my favorite image from the the whole session! It perfectly portrays her sweet little personality. 

I think this image need to be in a large canvas. 

I loved her beautiful wide open eyes too...

Isn't she just so kissable? She is so sweet! 

Thank you so much for bringing Paisley in for her baby session! She is an absolute angel and I loved working with you and your sweet family! I hope that the future brings you many trips back to Utah!

Cutest Little Cutter! • South Jordan Child Photography

This adorable little guy absolutely lit up my world when he came in to see me for his session. Normally two year olds can be a little... let's say, challenging? Lol! Although I do always enjoy their free spirits and strong will. But Cutter was the most adorable little guy from the first minute to the last! Every suggestion that I made was met with a super enthusiastic "OKAY!" from him. I could have just played with him all day! What a lucky family he has to have such a happy and eager spirit in their home! 

Here's Cutter! 

Whenever he was away from his mom for too long, he would hold his arms out to her and say 'Momma, I want to hold you!"  It melted my heart! 

Can you believe that this beautiful lady is Cutter's Grandma? She was as smitten with him as I was. 

I love you little Cutter bug! Thank you for coming to see me! I hope to photograph you again and

again!

Beautiful Baby Cameron • Salt Lake Newborn Photography

This cute mom to be came in for her maternity portrait sitting a while back...

Now her gorgeous little boy is here and I had the honor of photographing his newborn session too! 

Just look at how beautiful this little boy is. This is my favorite image from the session and, in my opinion, should be a huge canvas in his home! It's a timeless art piece.

We did most of Juli's maternity session outside and thought it would be so much fun to photograph little Cameron outside as well! He loved being naked in the warm summer evening. 

I just love this soft sunset lighting on his skin. 

What wonderful new changes await this awesome couple! They were so loving to each other during the maternity session, and were even more so now. They were also so tender with their new little son!

I have so many sweet images where it looks like Cameron is talking to his mommy and daddy. In this one it looks like he is telling her how much he loves her!

Steve was so tender to Cameron. He kept kissing him again and again. It absolutely melts my heart seeing daddy's being so tender with their little sons.

OK... is this not the best face ever? Every time I see it I giggle. He is so dang cute!! Can you even imagine the faces he'll make when he's older and is told that there's chocolate cake for dessert? 

The happy, new little family...

Thank you so much Juli and Steve, for trusting me with these precious photographs! I know you are going to just love all of them, I can't wait for you to see them!
