Utah Newborn Photography

If I had to choose a favorite type of session, I suppose I'd have to pick our Newborn Sessions. There's nothing quite like spending two hours in a warm room, just playing and photographing a 5-day-old. We typically suggest bringing babies in within their first week to capture the newness about them that fades so quickly.

This little guy, Landon, came in at about two months however, and look how stunning these shots are!

We love to focus on the baby, but his cute little hat was too much fun to pass up. He was a doll to have in the studio and we look forward to seeing him several more times throughout the year.

Maternity Photography, Utah

Maternity photos are some of our favorites! We love to be at the very beginning of a life and be a part of the excitement! We recently had Rene and her husband Cody into our studio for a maternity shoot and after the formals, and the classics, and the casuals, and the photojournalistic, we decided to throw aside all the rules and really get the party started. My absolute favorite picture is really a work of art and it was the last shot of the day.

The emotion in this picture just blows me away. I can totally see Rene at home, at the beginning of labor, pacing the floors, and Cody taking her hand in his, resting his head on hers and helping her breathe while counting the contractions. It's miraculous, this thing called life, and I love being able to capture such wonderful moments.

Child Photography in Riverton, Utah

Because I don't have children of my own, yet, I am often in awe of just how adorable children can be. For instance, meet Brooklyn.

Seriously? How absolutely stunning is she?

Photographing children in this age group is so much fun! Watching the child interact with their surroundings and the camera is often more than enough to make some fantastic photographs.
