Newborn : Baby Sam

I had the opportunity to shoot my first newborn session this week with two-week old little Sam. I usually get nervous before shooting, but this one was even more so because I have never worked with a newborn before. Needless to say, he was an angel (seriously, this little guy just took whatever we dished--I was impressed!) and I think the photos turned out pretty well! I wanted to keep the editing "warm and soft". Check out some of the photos from the shoot below!

The Severson Family

While this shoot was sabotaged by very cold temps & wet weather, the members of this family proved to be troopers! Look at them--coatless and all in the middle of a Utah winter! I was excited to receive a phone call from Erma who wanted family photos that would include herself with her daughter, and her cute grandkids so that she may have them for posterity--and here are a couple of photos from our shoot. Thanks for being such great sports guys, you're great!

The Brady Family

I had the privilege of doing a photo shoot for this fun family's Christmas cards/yearly family photos. We tried our luck at a few locations and I think we got some great shots. These kids are very patient and held up really well through the whole shoot. I was impressed! Thanks for letting me work with you guys, hope you like enjoy your pics!

Thorpe Family

This is the Thorpe family (how about that baby, cutie eh?), I happen to work with Lisa and was thrilled when she asked if I would take some photos of her family to use as Christmas gifts, and for sentimental value as her son will be leaving on a mission soon. Although we had some issues with the weather/overcast we were able to squeeze in a few good shots and I was grateful for their patience. Here are a few pics from our shoot--we managed to capture some of the beautiful fall colors.

Cristie & Kole Photos

Although I'm no pro, after the Vincent kids' photo shoot my friend Cristie asked if I would take some photos of her and her son Kole, so we loaded up and headed to the farm and got these adorable pics. Isn't he a cutie with that grin & his mom so photogenic? Sure helps an amateur like myself.
