Baby Belinda

Well since this sweety is close to a month old now, it's about time I post her picts! This is my sweet niece! She surprised all of us by coming out at 9 lbs 11 oz! And as proof as to how small my sister was while pregnant with this 9 pounder, I'm doing a combined maternity/newborn post. This maternity session was done a week before she delivered, and was a thrown together mini session at the last minute. It was actually comical to me since I was in a skirt and high heels. And for those of you who've seen me take pictures, know that it's hard for me to stay in one position at once. So it was a challenge for me, but we still got some of the shots I wanted.

Well so as I was putting the pictures together that I wanted to post, I found pairs with corresponding themes.

Pair 1: Very proud big sister!

Pair #2: Parents

Pair #3: Tender moment between sisters

Pair #4: A beautiful mother!

Pair #5: Kisses

Pair #6: Jaw Dropping

Ok so that's it! Here are a couple more of just Belinda. One of my favs is saved though for my upcoming updated website (soon! If I can find the time to update it)

Some Mood

Elise & Scott :)

Elise and Scott went to the same high school in Texas. However, they never took much notice of each other. Scott was one of her older brother's friends, and she thought of him as too "cool" to take much notice of her at the time. Besides, the two of them were already busy dating other people at the time.

Well fast forward several years after the high-school years . . . Now they are both at college in Utah, and by chance ran into each other. Elise's eyes were a little more open to this handsome friend of her brother's. But she was determined to be the matchmaker and set him up with her friend. She told her, "He's so nice and fun!" Well Scott knew that Elise would be able to help him as he dated her friend and came to her for advice. Elise was trying to help Scott become a great boyfriend for her friend. However, she didn't realize that slowly he was falling for her, and she for him.

Now here they are. Sometimes life brings you to be with a person that you never anticipated. But it's wonderful. It's love.

Read the shoes: "Not Rated." I thought it ironic for this picture!

Isn't she just gorgeous?!!

These were just a few funny ones!

Wow their colors just worked perfect for this fun building, huh?

There really were way too many favorites of mine from this session! Maybe I'll get my engagement section on my wedding site updated one of these days . . . then I can include more of this gorgeous couple!
These two are getting married in Texas in May. I wish them tons of happiness! Thanks for letting me capture your engagements and the love between you two!

Reagan's Bridals

Wow! Talk about gorgeous bride! I was so excited to do these pictures for Reagan! She is just model gorgeous, and it was way fun hanging out with her when we did these! She wanted a fruit market/Italian feel to her pictures since she did a Study Abroad over in Italy. Of course we're in Utah. Soooo not Italian, especially in March. But luckily the location worked out pretty well, and her mom brought some baskets of fruits and veggies at the last minute which gave it the final "fruit-market" feel! I loved it! Well here are a few of my favs:

Oh yeah . . . and of course this bus wasn't exactly the look we were going for, but when we saw it, both Reagan and I just thought it'd be lots of fun!

Talk about beautiful smile!


I liked this next one a lot because I feel like I can just feel the wind blowing by just looking at the picture!

Simply Beautiful!

We got a bunch of rockin' awesome close-ups of Reagan! You can tell she feels really comfortable in front of a camera. So photogenic!


Thanks so much Reagan for letting me take your Bridals! Hope you love them, and I wish you luck in your upcoming marriage in April!

Girls: Sugar & Spice

This first picture is of one of the best little sleepers and most flexible newborns I've had so far! We were excited though to get this perfect little smile of hers with those adorable dimples! At one week old (the perfect age for newborn pictures), we got some really fun images that I'm excited to share later!

The next two little girls were fun to work with too. This next little sweety is a cute 2 month old. I love her expression in this picture. So innocent . . . :)


Haha! This next one was just too cute of a candid, not to post! So often I post all the cute, happy pictures, but sometimes it's fun to see some of the candids that come along with trying to get a 2 year old to cooperate and get her picture taken! My little guy sometimes gives really funny/sad pouty faces too, and I always regretted never catching it on camera, it's just always so unexpected! Well we caught this cutie's pouty face just in time before Daddy came to cheer her up!

Honestly, this little cute 2 year old was sooo well behaved, we had lots of time playing together, and we got so many cute ones of her and I'm excited to share later. We even became friends! She's also a very cute big sister now!

Shandi & Greg's Engagements!

"Once upon a time, Shandi and Greg went to the same high school. Shandi's contagious, beautiful smile caught Greg's eye, and he knew she was something incredibly special. Shandi loved Greg's gentle kindness and thoughtfulness. They quickly became high-school sweethearts. Even after graduation, their feelings for one another remained."

And now here they are, after all this time, engaged to be married this May! I absolutely loved working with them! They were so fun to be around and were totally up for anything! I'm so excited to be photographing their wedding at the Manti Temple in about a month!

Way cool!

I thought this next one was pretty fun!

(and yes that was my first attempt to tell my version of their story with pictures and words! Hope it wasn't too cheesy and not too far from the truth! :)
