Mckay - Utah Newborn Photography

Here is the first official teaser of Mckay's Newborn photoshoot. This shoot was so much fun and I LOVED working with this darling couple and their new bundle of joy. Grandma to baby Mckay was there as well and she was so helpful and so proud of her new little grandson. I can't wait to show you more but in the mean time enjoy!

Ashlan - Utah Senior Portraits

Here is Ashlan's teaser for her senior portrait session. Let me just say that with how beautiful Ashlan is, it was so HARD to pick out just a couple to edit and be certain that more will be posted soon from this fun session. It was such a privilege to meet Ashlan and her mom. They were so great and easy to work with and up for anything (which is always an added bonus for me :). I look forward to working with them in the future and in the mean time, enjoy this fun sneak peek of Ashlan's senior portrait session.

A Walk Down Memory Lane: To Childhood Friends

"How do you spell 'love'?" - Piglet
"You don't spell it...you feel it." - Pooh"
— A.A. Milne







I was looking through my hard drive for pictures for my mom for Mother's Day and came across these pictures taken almost a year ago. These two little beauties are BEST Friends, anyone that knows them would agree. They are both also very dear to my heart. The blonde is my beautiful niece Brinlee and the other is Savannah, a sweet little girl that I used to watch. These snapshots were taken on the day that I took Brinlee's 2 year old pictures in the field (hence the curlers in her hair). I love the pictures of them sitting on the ledge together as I was testing my camera and getting it ready for that night's shoot. The fact that Savannah has one sock on is so her :). Sweet Savannah has moved away, at least not too far that they can see each other occasionally and I know that Brin misses her dearly. I LOVE Winnie the Pooh, he is so wise for a fluffy ol' bear ;). This quote brought tears to my eyes as I thought of a child who doesn't spell but understands something so huge and intricate that many adults fail to miss. What it means to love and how to show love. I cannot forgot my sweet best friends from growing up that meant so much to me; Lauren T., Alyssa G., Whitney S., Kara P. and the amazing and fun adventures we had. Enjoy!

Baby Tegan

"A new baby is like the beginning of all things - Wonder, Hope, a dream of possibilities." -Edna J. Le Shan

The One Inch Journey

"Always in the woods when you leave familiar ground and step off alone into a new place, there will be along with the feeling of curiosity and excitement, a little nagging of dread. It is the ancient fear of the unknown...(but) nobody can discover the world for anyone else. It is only after we have discovered it for ourselves that it becomes a common ground, and we cease to be alone."
-Wendell Berry

Senior Portraits 2011

I'm starting to book up Senior Portrait Sessions for the next couple months. I have to say that Senior Portraits are honestly one of my most favorite sessions to photograph. I love how much fun they are and getting to work with a variety of personalities (and of course the fun outfits worn). I am planning a trip out to Texas in May because of the inquiries I have had so far, email me so I can save you a slot if you are interested in these fun sessions. For my Utah Clients the weather is starting to look happier and the fun spring colors are about to burst so don't miss out on that window of time to get your pictures done.
