Two Sweet Peas | Northern Utah Newborn Photography

Mon, 14 May 2012 16:15:00 -0600

I have been waiting for these little ladies for a while! I met their momma and daddy when they did their maternity session with me this past winter. Then these sweet girlies came super early and had to stay in the hospital for a bit. But they are home, happy and healthy. And ready for their closeups! Enjoy the sweetness. I know I will :)

And just for fun, I thought I’d post a “behind the scenes” picture. You may not know it, but newborn photography takes a lot of patience and hard work. Luckily, I always have some tricks up my sleeve. In the photo below are a few of the tricks I have found to work for me. And sometimes, a client comes up with a marvelous fool-proof solution to a problem! And I’m always grateful to those parents who are willing to help hold a reflector or a baby for a moment during a scene-change!

Orchard Sneak Peak #2 | Utah Family Photographer

I am so fortunate to have such amazing and awesome clients and friends! I had this idea last week to take some photos in this beautiful orchard near my home. So many of them jumped at the chance to play in a beautiful sunlit orchard! Can you blame them! I am kicking myself for not taking my kids out. I mean, seriously, look at this light!

Little Bailey, 2 years old.

And here’s Kelsey. She’s probably already broken some hearts!

Sweet Chugg’s. What smiles on these cute kids!

Orchard Sneak Peak #1 | Utah Family Photographer

What a beautiful week we had! I was so fortunate to have some families who were willing to take me up on my bloomin’ orchard idea this past week. We had so much fun romping around in the orchard, dodging chickens, and other folks out there enjoying the spring goodies. Here is just a sneak peek of the fun we had.

The Thompson Ninjas!

Cute Cora and Croydon!

Seriously, look at those eyes!!

More spring goodness to come :)

My Personal Love | PhotoFlurry Friday

My absolute favorite season is spring. By far. There is just something about the earth’s renewal that pleases me. The circle of death and then renewed life after a season. Plus, it’s beautiful. That’s why I’m so grateful I found a new spring haven. An orchard. I took about 4 sessions there this week. And while it was completely crazy, I was so happy I got to stay a little later after one session and just take a look around. Admire the sun coming through the trees. The contrast of the bright pink next to the pale blue of the sky. Sometimes we need to just slow down and take in our surroundings. Lesson learned.

New Studio! | PhotoFlurry Friday

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 23:13:57 -0600

It’s been a long road. When we first put our house up for sale in January, I thought it would be a while before we actually sold it. But three weeks later, there we were, packing up and preparing to move. We frantically began the search for a new home for us. One that would accommodate our family, as well as my father in law one day. Luckily, we found something and it all came together. Sure there were some bumps along the road, but we made it. But there was one little thing I insisted on when we looked for our new house: A STUDIO FOR ME! I have been working out of our cramped little living room for so long. I felt I needed to spread out. And thankfully, I have a very supportive (not to mention super cute) husband, and he agreed we needed to find a house that provided a studio space for me. And we found it! In one day! I feel very lucky. So after a few weeks of getting settled, I finally found some time to work on my studio. It’s a work in progress right now, but it will be awesome. So for now, here are some pictures of my sweet kiddos in my new studio. Yay!

Beautiful Ashlyn | Utah Senior Photography

Tue, 27 Mar 2012 11:08:51 -0600

Sometimes you get some great opportunities. I’m thrilled beyond words to be a part of Photography Bootcamp. A couple of Saturdays ago, we had our first ever in-person basic photography workshop. We went over posing, lighting, metering. It was a great time! And sweet Ashlyn, who will be a senior next year, was kind enough to be one of our beautiful models. Thanks to all who participated. And if you’re interested in Senior Portraits, fall sessions are booking fast, so let me know!

My girl is growing up | PhotoFlurry Friday

Fri, 23 Mar 2012 15:50:21 -0600

Seriously, when did this happen? When did my baby girl grow into this little 6-year-old lady? I feel like it happened overnight. But I wanted to share some of her cute little personality traits with you.

She is kind, generous and loving. She will always give you a hug. When members of my family see her, they’re always requesting their “Kati-hugs”.

She is very observant. She can find anything. If I can’t find something, I send Kate out to find it, and she always does.

She loves to play barbies and pollies and jump on the trampoline and play on the swings.

She is very inquisitive and loves to learn and read.

She is a very tender soul. She will cry for you. She will hug you as long as you need it.
