As promised, here are some more pictures of Sheree and Bryce’s engagement session. They were so great to work with and I couldn’t be happier for them. Congratulations you two.

Mary is my younger sister and is one of my most favorite people in the world. She was born when I was in junior high, so its sometimes still hard for me to grasp that she is in High School already. Before I blink my eyes she’ll be applying for colleges and will be gone from home. Time passes by too quickly, which is another reason why I love photography. Photographs capture moments in time so we can always have them with us. Plus, its fun to see how much people change too.

I took these outside my parents house. They live on a 3 acre lot that has some awesome backdrops, don’t you think?

Here are some shots from a mini-mini-mini session I did with my sister Natalie. (Meaning, she was heading out the door for school but wanted an updated picture so I ran for the camera and she went where I told her to go while my brother waited honking the horn, haha.)

Can you imagine looking this cute as a kid heading off to school? I was lucky if I got my hair put up in a wet ponytail. (Granted, I did have to leave for school at 5:45 a.m. to catch our school bus and also tended to miss breakfast as well). Natalie is my youngest sister and has always been one of my favorite people. She is sweet, caring and full of spunk. I love that she takes teasing a lot better than I did as a kid, and she has a really great sense of humor. Here are a few pictures from the impromptu session.

Here are some images from a quick mini session I did with my cute niece Allison and nephew Maihi. They traveled all the way from Alaska. I don’t think kids come in cuter packages than these two.

Meet Allison: Cute, friendly and as beautiful as her mom. She was very easy to photograph and made the cutest gestures and smiles.

Meet Maihi: Charming, witty, and looks just like dad. These ones are my favorite because you can really see how his smile lights up his entire face. His mom was nice enough to help him balance on the log in front of him.

I was able to visit with my brother Kevin and his wife Sheila last month. Their family flew out to California all the way from the grand State of Tennessee. I hadn’t even met my sweet niece Jenna, so it was a special treat to be able to visit with them and take some pictures of their sweet family. Lydia and Matthew both seem to adore their little sister. What a cute family. Matthew, 4, was full of energy and cracked me up with some of the faces he pulled. I love seeing the sweet love this family has for each other. It’s really fun for a photographer to try to capture these special moments on camera.

Family love!

Sisters. So sweet.

Baby Jenna Adelaide.

I thought this one was so sweet of them.

All three. Couldn’t you just eat them up?!??

She reminds me of a cute model in this one.

Cute Matthew!

I have been editing some pictures from last weeks sessions and found this one of Mary, my 15 (almost 16) year old sister. Isn’t she gorgeous?!

I’m hoping to post more pictures of all my recent sessions soon. Stay tuned.

It snowed only a few days before we took these pictures, but it was beautiful, warm, and the wind wasn’t even annoying. Honestly, you couldn’t have asked for better weather. Here is a sneak peek of this cute family session with Carrie & Mike with their children Ethan, Evie, Emma & Ellie. More to come soon!

Precious baby boy {Utah newborn photography}

This little guy really is so precious to us. I can’t believe we are so lucky to have him.

I remember when we were expecting baby #2 I would look at my son Jack and wonder “How on earth are moms supposed to love 2 children equally? There’s no way.” I loved Jack with all that I had, and I couldn’t imagine being able to appropriately split that love. I was a little worried for the 2nd baby because how was anyone supposed to compete with my adorable, spunky son?

When Elena made her grand appearance, however, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn’t actually need to split the difference, but rather my heart simply grew and made room for another child. I couldn’t believe that I could love them both so completely, and yet it happened.

The same thing happened when Max joined our family. I felt like “The Grinch” when his heart grew another size. My heart grew up another size to make room for baby #3. I am constantly amazed at the beauty of newborns and just how precious, delicate, and perfect they are.

There is nothing that can quite compare to the first few weeks with a new baby in the home.

When Max was 1 week old we had to say goodbye to daddy, since he had just got his new job and was working in UT, and we were living in ID. I wasn’t quite feeling up to a move at that time, so we said goodbye to Jim and I played single-mom again with my 3 kids for another week (3, 2, and 1 week). I took this picture of Max an hour or so after Jim left us. What saved me that week? Meals from ladies from church, my siblings that I called on when I needed help, a lot of tylenol, and early bed-times for the toddlers.

You can’t quite capture these kinds of small details of newborns from memory alone. Yet another reason why I’m grateful for photography.

New babies are amazing because they literally don’t get smaller. In a month they look and change so much. Jim was able to help me get these beautiful shots of Max when he was 3 days new. We grabbed quite a few pictures, but these are my favorites. I wanted one with the kids and Max, but of course Elena would not cooperate. So we got a boys shot. Thank you Jack for being sweet and cooperative! James also got Max to hold up his own head, which is no small feat. I would say my absolute favorite, however, is the one with his sly smile on the bottom. Talk about sweet! Love you little Maxwell!
