John First Birthday

2011-11-08T17:17:00.000-08:00

I die over how cute he is! I have loved having this extra time in New Zealand to actually edit pictures of my own children! He'll be 18 months next week and it's crazy to see how he's changed in just a few shorts months. Love him!

I'm so far behind on blogging! But, I just had to post a few of this cute baby.

2011-05-19T23:09:00.001-07:00

I have neglected this blog for far too long so here's one for tonight!

Love this family! I really just wanted to eat their adorable little butter ball all night.

2011-01-25T23:32:00.000-08:00

This baby was a DREAM! He let me do anything. I don't think I've ever had a baby let me change backgrounds and blankets this much. It was so fun!!! And isn't he just adorable?!

William {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

2011-01-25T23:04:00.001-08:00

I love this one! What a sweetheart! His mom brought a few things that were acutally his dad's when he was a baby. It was so fun to include them into the photos!

I'm always amazed and relieved when an older baby cooperates and we can get some of the newborny photos.

Go Giants!
This is my newest nephew. Isn't he so cute!
I so wish they lived closer so I could have really curled him up in this glove right after he was born. So, this is the best we could do 5 weeks later. He was not diggin' his photo session at all!! And boy did he let me know with an impressive explosion! His mom and I died laughing all the way to the sink to hose him down and needless to say that was the end of the pics.

Lydia {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

2011-01-03T21:07:00.000-08:00

I love when a baby will let me do this pose!!! I just think it's absolutey adorable.
Plus, she had all kinds of squishy "newborniness" to play with. She's not mine, but I could still just eat her up!!!

Blessing {Salt Lake Baby Photographer}

2011-01-03T21:01:00.000-08:00

I heart baby girls in long, beautiful, fancy dresses!

Scarlett Rose {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

2011-01-03T20:47:00.000-08:00

This beauty was a definite fan of the "fur" rug. She was soooo good for being 6 weeks. I always worry when I do a newborn shoot past the two week mark. You really never know what you're going to get. She...was a GEM! Pretty stinkin' cute too!

Ella Rose ....and Quinn {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

Super Cute Family.
Adorable baby.
Lively 2 year old.
Makes for a fun afternoon!

Adorable! {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

2010-12-08T23:51:00.000-08:00

Just a little taste...of newborn scrumptousness!

Baby M {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

2010-11-22T19:53:00.000-08:00

Hands down, this mama has had the best sleeping babes for me ever! Even her one year old slept on my chair for probably 80 percent of the shoot! Isn't she a beauty!

And, I know it's not December yet, but I just had too!

How good does this family look!
We had to really hustle to beat the rain with this shoot! I think I was in my car five minutes after we finished and sheets of rain were coming down!

Vacation

2010-10-26T15:45:00.000-07:00

I'm going on vacation for the rest of the week! I will return emails and phone calls the first of next week.

I've been meaning to post these for a couple months now. It makes me a little sad to see how much my babe has changed in a just a few months. It certainly goes way to fast!

Little Luke {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

2010-10-14T22:19:00.000-07:00

So, maybe I am a little biased, but isn't he absolutely scrumptous! Oh, I love newborns!

Sneak peek of Baby Luke! {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

2010-10-12T21:53:00.001-07:00

So this is my absolutely adorable little nephew! I could just eat him up!

I just had to post this one of him wide awake.

Baby Nicholas {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

2010-08-31T00:42:00.001-07:00

Another super cute tricky newborn!. This little guy didn't want to miss out on one thing. It was actually really fun to get so many with his eyes open. Isn't he just adorable?! Big brother is pretty darn cute too.

Goodfellow Family {Salt Lake Family Photographer}

2010-08-31T00:13:00.000-07:00

Love, Love this family! The wind was howling and we were drizzeled on, but they were such good sports!

Cambry {Salt Lake Maternity Photographer}

2010-08-31T00:05:00.000-07:00

This cute mom claims she is not photogenic! I beg to differ!!!! She was such a good sport. The wind was blowing like crazy and it was even starting to rain.

Bridger {Salt Lake Baby Photographer}

2010-08-25T21:27:00.000-07:00

This little guy was my best newborn to date! He certainly didn't disappoint for his one year pics either. One year olds are becoming my new favorite! More to come of this cute family.

Sweet SAM! {Salt Lake Baby Photographer}

2010-08-25T21:22:00.001-07:00

I had so much fun with this little girl! Isn't she an absolute doll!

Mason & Gage {Salt Lake Newborn Photographer}

2010-08-25T20:03:00.001-07:00

Loved this baby's hair!!! He was so tiny and sooo AWAKE!!!! He definitely made me work for his pictures. But, I think, I prevailed. What a cutie!

He's already a month old today and I'm finally posting his newborn pictures. He is the sweetest baby and we are all in love!

New Arrival

2010-05-19T10:14:00.000-07:00

Our little guy arrived on Sunday, May 16.

We are all in love with him and doing well.

Pictures will be coming soon!

I will only be doing newborn shoots on a limited basis for the next while.

Please email me with any questions.

Look at those cute pouty lips!!! This baby was sooo good for already being 4 weeks old. She let me do most anything once she fell asleep. And, don't you love those fairy wings her mom brought!!!!

I adore this picture. I'm not sure why, but it just is so tender the way big sis is holding her and looking off!

Carter and Corbin {Salt Lake Twin Photographer}

2010-04-12T21:58:00.001-07:00

TWINS!!! Aren't they cute?!
They did really well considering they were already 6 weeks old and had spent some time in the NICU. It was definitely a challenge to get them to sleep and to hide their little boy parts with all that leg chub. We would get one all settled and go to place the next one and they would start having their own little fist fights! It was acutally pretty hilarious. And, one little guy is still on a bit of oxygen which presented a bit of a challenge! Good thing I used to work in the NICU!

For a two week old she was certainly bright-eyed!

Just a sneak for tonight! I really need to go to bed. But, isn't the second one to die for. I would kill for a pic like that of my own children!

2009-08-23T22:38:00.001-07:00

Isn't this little one a doll?! We had so much fun chasing the ducks and snapping a few pictures along the way. She has the most adorable smile.

How cute is little Sam?!!! She has been my tiniest babe to date. She was like this little tiny peanut and so perfectly sleepy. She was a trooper for this adventurous shoot~as were her parents!

Salt Lake City Newborn Photographer {Baby J}

2009-06-29T20:09:00.000-07:00

This little guy was just too old (4 weeks) and smart for us. He knew when he fell asleep we were going to put him in all sorts of crazy positions. Lucky for me, we were able to get some great ones with him just lounging in mom's arms!

K & G - Salt Lake Children's Photographer

Baby Noel - Salt Lake Children's Photographer

2009-05-13T21:55:00.000-07:00

Sweet baby Noel. Don't let this picture fool you. She is one petite little fire cracker. She has three adorable older sisters that absolutely love her. They were thrilled to get their pictures taken. It was so easy to get them all to look at the camera. We had all kinds of fun moving furniture and playing dress up!

Adorable Sneak Peek - Salt Lake Children's Photographer

2009-05-11T21:31:00.001-07:00

I just had to post one from a session today. Isn't she an absolute doll?! I've been dying to try this hat I made and it was just perfect for her piercing blue eyes.

P Family - Salt Lake Family Photographer

2009-05-05T08:03:00.000-07:00

This family was so fun. I was laughing so hard it was hard to hold my camera still. And these little girls were absolutely adorbale. The older one was cracking me up with her poses.

Baby J - Salt Lake Newborn Photographer

2009-04-15T23:57:00.001-07:00

This little girl belongs to one of my best friends since fifth grade. Doesn't she have the most beautiful skin?!
It was so much fun to get to play with a baby girl again.

Baby R - Salt Lake Newborn Photographer

2009-04-03T14:09:00.001-07:00

This little guy was so much fun. He was already 6 weeks old, but was still pretty squishy and tolerant of my many ideas. The baby was adorable, the lighting was amazing and the props fabulous!

We lucked out and got a great day for these pictures. This is my cute sister and her family. Isn't their litte boy the cutest thing. As we were finishing up, all the wonderful protestors were lining up and talking with TV reporters. I was hoping to see if we made into the background of any of thier interviews, but I sort of forgot to check once we got home!

Maddy & Dawson - Salt Lake Newborn & Child Photographer

2009-02-14T22:55:00.002-08:00

MADDY

I had so much fun with this little lady. Aren't her cheeks so squishy and cute?! Her mom had some of the best things to put in her hair. It really makes me want to have another girl.

DAWSON

Cute Dawson! This guy LOVES trains. So, of course, we had to have the train in his pictures. He also wanted to make sure the trains could see him when they weren't in the pictures!

Joseph - Salt Lake Children's Photographer

2009-02-14T22:55:00.001-08:00

It was a serious group effort to get these pictures of Joey. I was laying on my stomach trying to get the best shot before he would crawl away and Katie was doing all sorts of acrobatics to get him to smile, laugh, drool etc..

I think they turned out pretty well. Now I just have to decide which I like the best.

S. Kids - Salt Lake Children's Photographer

Severson Family

I love how it is impossible to get all the kids looking at me at once. This is just so characteristic of the cute kids. I love this family! (They used to watch Katie while I worked.)
