Watching Him Grow

Let me re-introduce Bennett (you can see his newborn pictures here). I mentioned in that post that he wasn't a big fan of the camera, but mom and dad have done a great job the last few months preparing him. I could photograph this cute face all day, Bennett is one happy kid! I can't believe how fast he is growing. He was trying to crawl during the whole session, I have never seen a kid more determined to get to something. I told Debbie he'd be crawling any day, and sure enough a few days later and he's off.

Mom and Dad are Disney fans, so we had to get a few shots of those mouse ears!

Debbie is a wonderful mother and so full of life. I could photograph her all day long too, such a natural beauty. It's fun to watch her interact with her new treasured baby boy. There is something so sweet to me about  photographing mother and baby together. You can feel that loving bond.

Burr Family Sneak Peek

This family is awesome, I have so much fun photographing them. We rocked this photo shoot out in 35 minutes! They all know me so well that it was super quick and a lot of fun. It was freezing cold outside, but as promised, it was well worth it. What a beautiful family!

Baby Bennett

Our dear friends just entered the realm of parenthood when they welcomed baby bennett into this world. We are thrilled for them and this new adventure they are beginning.

Bennett is such a cutie, yet he doesn't seem to be a big fan of photo shoots thus far (but we'll change that soon enough).  I've never heard a baby snore until now, but let me tell you it is the cutest thing ever! 

My children are smitten with this kid, too. It will be exciting to watch them grow up together.

Congratulations Steve and Debbie, he's beautiful!

Cedar

Isn't that the most beautiful, unique name? I grew up as a one and only with my name and loved it. I think she will too, with a name as pretty as she is.

Better Together

There is no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard
No song that I could sing, but I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepia-toned loving
Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it's so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

Mmm, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

And all of these moments
Just might find their way into my dreams tonight
But I know that they'll be gone
When the morning light sings
And brings new things
For tomorrow night you see
That they'll be gone too
Too many things I have to do
But if all of these dreams might find their way
Into my day to day scene
I'd be under the impression
I was somewhere in between
With only two
Just me and you
Not so many things we got to do
Or places we got to be
We'll sit beneath the mango tree now

Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmm, we're somewhere in between together
Well, it's always better when we're together
Yeah, it's always better when we're together

I believe in memories
They look so, so pretty when I sleep
Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We're better together.

Water Fight! Sneak Peek - Utah Kid's photographer

This session was a blast! These kids had fun bombing each other with water balloons, squirt guns, and running around with their towels. Good thing it was hot and sunny outside!

Sierra - Baptism Photography Mini Session

This sweet little lady is getting baptized on the same day as our son Kai! She looked so beautiful in her white dress, such a special occasion. I can't wait to see Kai in his whites that day, too.

Stars & Stripes- Mini Session

Aren't these patriotic kids just the cutest?! I had a blast doing their Stars & Stripes mini session the other day. I was going to wait to post, but it seemed fitting to do it today. Happy 4th of July! Thanks to all those serving our country and protecting our freedom!

(p.s. I was in a huge hurry and for some reason they all look really pixelated, sorry. I'll look into it after the holiday.)

Jake & Christi - Salt Lake Wedding Photographer

Meet Jake & Christi, they were such a fun couple to photograph! They are a smart couple and broke up their events, having the wedding one day and the reception a week later. Christi is my assistant's sister, so I got to come shoot the temple portion since she was a part of the bridal party. I wish I could've come to everything, I'm sure their reception will be beautiful. Thanks for letting me come share your day, you were both so great despite the crazy heat. Yet, I am so glad we had the place to ourselves, this first shot took my breath away!
