Fun guests and so. much. DANCING!!

Meet Hannah and Henry...

L Family |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

Studio sessions! I loved photographing this family and photographing 3 babies at once sure was a challenge. It was fun to test my abilities and I definitely had to work QUICKLY.

This studio is absolutely perfect in Sandy, Utah and all the sessions turn out simply FABULOUS. This momma looks unfaily amazing for having 3 little ones. I mean, seriously... U N F A I R. Definitely shows you what we are all capable of! 

Meet this adorable family of 5!!

N Family |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

This cute family is a fellow photographer and you can check out her amazing work at her website Stacy Marie Photography. I was seriously obsessed with how her session turned out. Stacy's hair color with the colors of our location worked so well together I couldn't ask for more.

She found this great little spot in Lehi, Utah and it turned out so great! I was so nervous photographing a fellow photographer but they were just great to work with. 

Marissa & Zane's Wedding |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

It was a cold and rainy day for this October wedding at Louland Falls in Park City, Utah. It was chilling and of course the rain started to come down right as the cute couple started walking down the aisle. 

Everyone was wrapped with and tried to keep warm while they watched the two love birds exchange vows. Louland Falls was a dream location for the wedding. With incredible views and amazing rocks everywhere, this location could not be more perfect for these two. 

Congratulations Marissa and Zane!

2015 FALL MINIS |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

Fall took a different turn this year. 

The colors took a while to change and when they did they didnt last long! 

Even so these gorgeous families got some gorgeous images and 

here is a little peak at my fall minis.

Kylee Ann Workshop- Couple Session

This was another great session put together by Kylee Ann Photography. Fun fact; the cute lady in this adorable couple is Kailey from Kailey Rae Photography. I have been following her work for a long time and literally felt like I was meeting a celebrity! Yes, that is cheesy but hey, that's me! :)

We went to this cute little spot by Kylee’s house in Logan, Utah and it was just perfect! Tiffany Johnson Beauty did an amazing job on her hair, I mean, that braid!! Jessica Nelson Make Up Artistry did a great job on her make up! 

So there is about 5 of us photographers but because there was so much open space, luckily we had more time to move around and get some amazing shots! Engagements are something I feel like I'm starting to enjoy. It’s so fun to work with a couple that is in love and start out a little shy. But by the end of the session, it’s fun to see them all warmed up! 

Check out this cute couple below. :) 

Kylee Ann Workshop- Family session |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

I dont think I will ever be able to explain how amazing 

Kylee Ann's workshop was.  She put so much work into 

the entire weekend providing awesome information 

and making all of us girls feel so comfortable. 

She put 3 sessions together and this was one of them! 

She asked this adorable little family 

to be our models and they were just so cute! 

Their little boy Liam was shy in the camera but everyone 

did such a great job at helping them feel comfortable 

and he was giggling in no time! 

 

Bridal Collaboration

Putting this session together was a bit stressful but

so INCREDIBLY rewarding. I got the opportunity to work 

with amazing vendors and I couldn't ask for a better team! 

Flowers - Over the Top Floral

Cake - Hannah Bright

Dress- Gateway Bridal and Prom

Hair and Make up- Lisa Frehner

Table and tablecloth- Rent Event Utah

Photographer - Me

Model- Megan Kielsmeir

Khloe |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

This sweet girl is Khloe. I have known her mom and we follow each other and social media and she is absolutely ADORABLE. We did our session in Herriman, Utah and we decided to use the Teepee and the flower crown. 

I have noticed that little ones like to say is “We’ve been looking for you!” I’m pretty sure Khloe said something similar to that. J   

Weekend of workshops, meeting new people and living the dream

I had the most AMAZING weekend! Along with it being my baby's 2nd birthday, I got to attend the KyleeAnn Workshop and it couldn't have been better!

As much as I love photography, it was a little hard for me to know I wasn't going to spend the day with my baby on his birthday. Being a mom is hard, we put ourselves through guilt trips when it is completely unnecessary. My son had no clue it was his birthday and that I was missing it but of course, it still hurt me to be away from him.

Now on to the good stuff! 

We photographed this adorable couple at the 

cutest greenhouse, Freckle Farm.

Liam turns 2 | UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER |

This little boy, has me wrapped around ALL of his fingers 

and I wouldn't have it any other way. 

There really is no way to explain how your life changes

when you bring a child into this world. 

Labor Day Weekend

So this weekend I decided to take some time to spend with the family. The last few weeks have been difficult and busy so we need to recharge. It was also crazy busy so I had to readjust my shooting schedule which made taking a break a bit easier. September is going to be NUTS, so taking the time of with family was absolutely necessary. 

Saturday we went downtown to take photos of my soon to be two year old. I still cannot believe how fast he grew. I mean, how does that happen? I feel like just yesterday we were at the hospital at Intermountain Healthcare hospital in Riverton, Utah looking at our 6 pounds, 3 ounce little miracle. 

But here we are 2 years later with our little peanut that is moving, running and playing 24/7. Its true, time really does fly. I leave with a little sneak peak of our 2 year olds session and our time in Downtown Salt Lake City. 

and the new logo is here...

For some time now I have been wanting a new logo. While both of the logos I have had, none of them felt like me or what I really wanted.

I stumbled on to Pace Made and fell in love with her work. Best decision ever! Being a Utah photographer is turning out to be quite the journey! I feel myself finding my groove and getting closer to finding my style. So having a logo to represent a clean and versatile look was very important.

I am just so happy with how it turned out.

Shoot with Olivia Wares |Utah Photographer|

This summer I got the amazing opporutnity 

to do a shoot with local clothing store Olivia Wares Boutique.

Normally an online store opened a shop in Sugar House, Utah. 

Cash & Teepee Mini |UTAH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER|

This darling boys session is on the blog! Seriously such a sweetheart! "We've been looking for you all day!" We did this cute little session on a Friday night in Herriman and it was perfect because we got great color as well as wonderful Utah mountain views.

 

Cutest girls & a cute teepee |UTAH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER|

Sometimes in the process of building a photography business,

you got lost in the shuffle of succeeding. It's important to 

do shoots that are fun and help the creative juices flow. 

So I created this cute little teepee set up in Herriman and I absolutely loved it! 

How cute is this? 

Deer Creek Reservoir |UTAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER|

I was given the AMAZING opportunity to shot this GORGEOUS lake wedding with In Frames Photography and it was just so amazing.

The wedding was held at Deer Creek reservoir at the gorgeous Dock of the Bay Restaurant.
and it was simply amazing.

The couple showed so much love after having such a rough start to their wedding. This wedding at Deer Creek reservoir was so intimate and perfect for such a wonderful couple.

A little back story. 

The brides grandmother became Ill and was 

rushed to the hospital the day of the wedding. 

So to say they had a rough start would be an understatement. 

A weekend with Parade of Homes

Life has a funny way of throwing you curve balls and testing you in ways you never could have imagined. 

Rob Marley said "You don't know how strong you are, until being strong you are is your only option."

This last weekend we got to check out some amazing homes with Parade of Homes. These are some of my favorite decor pieces I can't wait to have in my home.

No direction & open fields... |UTAH SENIOR PHOTOGRAPHER|

Hannah and I wanted to check out some spots in downtown Salt Lake City but mother nature had some other plans for us. Instead we drove around in West Jordan, Utah, pulled over and just started taking pictures!

We had so much fun and this weather was so unique it was so awesome to play around in. 

Kylie and Jason First Look |UTAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER|

This couple is so perfect for each other and have the cutest itty baby. We did their first formals at Tibble Fork which is always and amazing location. 

There was a girls camp around the location we were photographing and the girls just couldn't stop starting and I couldn't blame them. 

Jason could not stop stating at Kylie and saying how beautiful she looked.

Wedding, coffee shops & giveaways ||UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER

This weekend I had the opportunity of helping a photographer and photographed a reception. The photographer had a prior engagement but the couple just love her work and still wanted her as their photographer. 

I was shocked and so excited to have this opportunity and to know that someone trusted me enough to help them with this wedding. So, this is me at this weekends wedding! 

Robyn & Brett Family || UTAH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER||

So, fun story. Robyn and I went to school together and were cheerleaders our sophomore year! 

As most High School friendships, after High School we lost touch and found each other through what else? Yup! Facebook! 

I felt so honored when she asked me to take her family pictures and I am so happy with how they turned out! Her little boy was just the cutest and his first words to me where "We were looking for you all day!" Haha! Meet Robyn and her cute family :)

Gentry and Ryan |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

Because I have awesome friends like Jennifer with Portraits by Jennier, 

I got to tag along with her on this awesome and so fun session.

Thse two are so in love and were amazing to be around. 

Meet the newlyweds Gentry and Ryan!

Zane and Marissa |UTAH WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER|

Let me take a minute to talk about these two. By far the most relaxed couple and SOOOOO easy to be around! They were beyond easy to photograph and I cannot WAIT for their wedding in October.

Callums Newborn |UTAH PHOTOGRAPHER|

 I have been dying to get pictures of this cutie and it finally happened. 

How adorable is this little family?

My family | UTAH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER|

This year I made an enormous effort to get my family together and for family pictures. 

To make it even MORE interesting I decided to take the pictures myself! 

Meet my family ♥
