I just love this family. They were some of my first clients and I have seen them every so often for a family shoot ever since their first shoot…maternity. I remember their dog the first time we met, sweet Toby, my favorite Beagle dog. I remember meeting an excited mom and dad to be as they were getting ready to bring their baby into their home. And meeting little baby c and seeing him every few months for additional sessions has been such a joy to watch him grow. Each time we meet, he’s always a little cautious, but this time he was eager to show me his legos (which, by the way, were awesome duplo Cars legos…I want some!)

He and his dog are such good buddies, it’s fun to see them cuddle and to see how very patient Toby is with his best human buddy.


Look at the lashes…big beautiful eyes and lashes the girls would die for!

After our session was complete we headed to the table in the backyard so C could enjoy a snack…couldn’t resist getting a couple more shots. Thanks for another great session, C! Can’t wait to see you again!

Welcome back to the what to wear wednesday posts with a little look into Spring. As much as I adore the snow here in Utah, once that sun starts shining and the snow starts melting I begin to get really excited for all of the new beginnings that Spring offers. I love the selection of outfits below and they can all be easily adapted for the people in your shoot. Notice how the colors all blend nicely together, yet are not to matching. Also remember when selecting outfits for your family to take into consideration all the children together, each child alone with each parent, the parents together and all family members together as well.

Another week of my 4 the love of focus weekly project group. We will be posting every week our two images side by side like this. I am so thrilled to be a part of this great group of women from all over the country who have the same passion for their photography and business that I do and to be a part of this challenge. If you have time, be sure to check out the 4 the love of focus blog to see the other images that have been posted as well as some great member spotlights and other fun tips and insights for photographers.

This week we were given the prompt “guilt”…I thought that was pretty funny coming off of a week of “resolution” and so my image was pretty easy for me. I am still doing great with my fitness routines and really enjoying getting stronger and more athletic, but I still have one vice that I can’t seem to shake and that is my soda…diet coke? Nope…that’s regular Cherry Pepsi and it’s just not good for me. And so I’m quitting, slowly. I would probably do a lot better if I would just go cold turkey, but that has been hard this week. But that is my goal…no more soda, no more guilt about drinking it.

My partner for this year long project is the very talented Kristyn of Kristyn LaPresPhotography (portrait and lifestyle photographer in West Michigan) so please take a look at our images below and be sure to check out her blog as well! And if you get a moment, please check out Veronica Starr and see what she and her partner posted about!

It’s that time of year when the snow starts falling here in Utah…the homes are warm and the hats and gloves are out. The holiday lights are on the houses and in our mailboxes we start getting those holiday cards from our neighbors, relatives and long lost college roomies. For those of you that are past or current clients (or those wanting to try and sneak a photo session in soon) I have an offer for you. Before that first card comes in the mail and you think…”oh, man…I’ll get to ours next week”, take a look at the boutique section in your cart and check out the holiday cards that are available…and for those orders placed before December 1st, receive 25% off your holiday card order (send me an email to get your code before checkout). We can use images from any of your past sessions, just give me a call or send me an email and we can work out the details!

it’s Halloween cookie time around here…My mom sends us cookies to decorate for just about every holiday and the kids always look so forward to making their creations.







I did have some icing…but no cookies. Saving myself for the boatloads of candy these three are going to bring in this weekend…

The cooler weather is officially upon us, the leaves are turning and it’s chilly enough to make sweaters mandatory…especially in the evenings. If you’re struggling with ideas for your session with Carrie Owens Photography, check out the what to wear category here on the blog or take a look at this fantastic new resource Wardrobe Wednesday. And for clients of Carrie Owens Photography, there is a digital what to wear guide that can be found in the client section of the blog.
The newsletter came out last night…were you on the mailing list? If not, be sure to sign up here because a supplemental newsletter with mini session information will be going out soon…and those that are on the mailing list get first choice of time slots.
Have a great Wednesday everyone…it’s short day here in Utah for the kids as it’s UEA weekend, which means no school til next Tuesday!

This family session of three was such fun, we got to explore this little area up the canyon here in the Salt Lake Valley. It’s still amazing to me after almost 10 years living in this area that less than 30 minutes from my doorstep there are beautiful locations like this. The colors are getting bolder each day, so if you’re looking for family portraits in Utah or children’s portraits – now is the time!!

Today is a great fall day here in Utah…a little rain, some overcast skies a little chill in the air, I love it. Fall is my favorite season for so many reasons…football, school starting, leaves changing colors, Halloween and Thanksgiving, warm sweaters and socks. I don’t think I’m quite used to fall here in Utah even after 9 years of it…it’s still strange to me that the kids are going to school in shorts and tshirts all the way through September and into October even. I forget each year that if you’re not careful, you might miss the fall colors…seems like they were around longer in Washington. I do remember the years here where we’d get snow on Halloween and not see the grass again til spring…and as much as I LOVE snow, I think I’ll pass on that
Have you scheduled your fall session yet? There are lots of great locations where we can go and get that perfect shot of your family or kids that you’ve been hoping for. Holiday cards on your list? We can get that checked off too. Once you’ve got that session scheduled, are you trying to come up with ideas on how to style your session from a clothing standpoint? Just not sure what you all should wear? Wondering if you should all match or just coordinate? Wondering if you should get dressed up or stay casual? The biggest thing I tell my clients to remember is to wear something that is comfortable – especially for kids. Nothing gets a cute happy kid grouchier faster than an outfit that they’re pulling at or that mom or dad has to keep adjusting. Wear something that reflects you as a family and as a person…these images should be treasured for years if not generations to come, you want them to be a true representation of who you were at this point in your life.
Feel free to browse through my What to Wear Wednesday category for more ideas.
