    salt lake city utah newborn photographer | beautiful baby s

    Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

    Recently I had the opportunity to meet this beautiful three week old baby girl in her home with her mom and dad while big brother was away at preschool. When I arrived she was sleeping soundly in her swing, but once we moved her, she wasn’t wanting to close her eyes and miss a thing. She finally snoozed a bit and we were able to get some sweet shots, both indoors and out (the beauty of hot Utah Septembers!). I loved her little silver bracelet, so delicate and sweet.  Here are a few of my favorites from the session…

    adorable baby k | sandy utah newborn photographer

    Friday, July 8th, 2011

    I was so very excited to meet this little guy. I love this couple and had such a great time photographing their wedding and I remember telling them that I couldn’t wait until they decided to have babies as I knew that they would make some beautiful children. I wasn’t wrong :) I was so happy when I found out that they were expecting and had a great time shooting their maternity photos in my studio. When baby K arrived I was so happy for them and couldn’t wait to have him in my studio. We got many great shots, but the photo below just might be one of my favorites. Babies grow and change but you can usually still see their faces in those baby photos as they grow…but they are only this little for such a very short time. Those tiny feet and little legs will grow and run and play and have many fun adventures but they are only able to be cradled close like this for so long.

    This is the adorable guy that was showing me how strong he was when he first got here…he was so tempted not to sleep, didn’t want to miss a thing. I just love the little wrinkles in his forehead and those gorgeous blue eyes.

    We did get some sleepy shots…some calm moments when he was swaddled tightly. Such a peaceful little guy.

    More toes…how can you resist baby toes? So perfect and tiny.

    I just love these next few shots of baby boy and his momma. You can feel her love for him as she quietly looks at him, kisses him softly. She is a wonderful mother, just as I knew she would be :)

    six days new | salt lake city utah newborn photographer

    Wednesday, May 11th, 2011

    I recently had the pleasure of meeting and photographing this sweet beautiful baby girl just six days after her arrival. She was such a trooper, slept for us so well and we were able to get lots of shots in her adorable pink accented room.

    thursday three things | I love my job.

    Thursday, March 4th, 2010

    Last night as I was finishing up editing some newborn photos and moving onto another set I realized that my mind was racing…I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I really love what I’m doing. It was late, the kids were already asleep, I had some DVR’d shows (American Idol) that I needed and really wanted to watch…but I didn’t want to stop doing what I was doing to go into the other room to relax. I was thinking about the shoots that I have planned for next week – including a 2 day shoot at a school that I am so very excited about, and the shoots that I have in my mind that I want to do and I realized that I was just so excited about them.

    I know that I am very lucky to have the opportunity that I do to live out my dreams and be a photographer. I know that I’m lucky that I have my three kids who are willing (most of the time) to model for me, test out locations for shoots and try out some of the ideas I have floating around in my head. I know that I’m lucky that I have a super supportive husband who encourages me and pushes me to be the best me that I can be. I’m lucky for the amazing clients that I’ve met and been able to get glimpses into their lives.

    I think that before I go on too long about all this, I’m going to stop and show three photos of a recent newborn session for my Thursday Three Things of the week. If you ‘d like to see more of this sweet family check out their maternity session and a sweet peek at their baby here.

    thing one:

    thing two:

    thing three:

    Another reason I love my job – I get to play with sweet babies…can’t really beat that.

I had to throw in a photo of her doting older brother since he took such great care of my beanbag while I was there :) You’re photos are almost ready, Momma, expect an email from me soon with the details, but for now, enjoy this collage of your adorable younger two babes.
