I had a busy week of shooting, which has been a nice breath of creativity to my life. I’m off to a commercial shoot today (wish me luck?), but had to introduce you to this sweet little one that arrived just in time for Mother’s Day. Isn’t she perfect? More of Miss Quinn to come very soon.
Normal posting to resume tomorrow (I hope).
Smooches!
RecommendI am so happy it’s February. February is one of my very favorite months! It might have a little something to do with it being the month I was born. 
I have been in a slump this January. January is always a transition to the real world after the busy work season, and who loves January anyway? Pretty much no one. It’s cold and miserable, nothing super fabulous happens in January, the kids are all cooped up inside… I think we can all agree that January is the pits. But February… February is the season of love. And if you live in the desert like we do, February is when Spring starts springing. (Punxsutawney Phil said so!)
This month I am going to try to do better than I did last month. I am hoping to cook more, clean more, stay more organized. I’m hoping to spend more time with my littles, be more available to my friends and family, and do more things that make me happy. It is my birthmonth, afterall.
To start off a happier month, I am sharing with you such a sweet little session today. Because what could be happier than two little twins turning one? I got nothin’.

RecommendAngela is my sister’s best friend and we have been so excited to welcome her new baby girl into the world. Baby Ayla is absolutely precious!
Merry Christmas Eve, my dear friends! We are having a nice relaxing day at home today. We plan on having dinner tonight and baking a birthday cake for Jesus and going to our favorite round of christmas light houses. If you’re from St. George, you know we’ve got some good ones this year! I’ll be so sad when all is taken down. It’s become our favorite nightly pass time.
Anyway, I thought the perfect gift to you would be a fabulous family session. It’s been a while since I posted photo stuff. :/
A couple months ago, I hosted a giveaway on my facebook page to celebrate 500 fans. It was an exciting milestone for me and even more exciting when Ashlee and her gorgeous family won!
They live in Provo but were still happy to have a studio session while they were down vising for Thanksgiving. We had such a magical session. The Chappell’s have such a cool style, they’re so down-to-earth and they have the sweetest baby girl. They were so sweet and grateful for their session, my heart wanted to explode. I remember having just one baby girl and how sweet that time was for us, I was so happy to be able to capture that time for Ashlee and Nick.
I’ve been so excited to share this session with you!
Enjoy.
Merry day to you and yours!

RecommendAre you all surviving the pre-holiday bustle?
I hope so!
I’m off to shoot today, but had to leave you with this gorgeous one-year-old.
Heaven on earth, I say. Heaven. On. Earth.

Remember this sweet birth? The Oliversons are back today with some newborn lovin’.
Have I told you how much I love having a fresh newborn in the house? I think that it is the most wonderful thing in the whole world. The time is so fleeting, but it is so magical. And while I can’t keep a fresh newborn in my house all the time, I am lucky enough to go soak up the newborn goodness from time to time with the families who share it with me.
Thanks for stopping by!

RecommendThe Hugie family is one of my very favorite families around. As soon as Kyann booked her session, I knew I was in for a good time. She’s so relaxed and easy and was stoked when I showed her this location. A few things about this session…
And I may have squished that little Beckam just once…. or twice…. 
Are you as in love with this family as I am now?

RecommendSo here is the final session of Cheri’s birth package. See her lovely maternity session, here and her gorgeous birth, here.
It was such an honor to go through the maternity, birth and newborn process with these guys. They have such a calm and peaceful energy surrounding them. Their house is just overflowing with love. Lydia was wide awake the entire time we were shooting, but I barely heard a peep out of her. She is such an alert baby with these giant, beautiful eyes. She gets her beautiful looks from her mama and has that daddy of hers absolutely wrapped around her finger. I can’t wait to watch this little lady grow up.
Enjoy!

RecommendDo you remember this sweet family? I had such a wonderful time sharing in their experiences of bringing their tiny new baby girl into the world.
For their maternity session, Cheri had thought of so many sweet and thoughtful details. During their session, we talked about the new baby and what she would look like. I was so inspired by how tender their love as a family was and the excitement and anticipation of this new little one was almost intoxicating. I couldn’t wait for her birth.
Just as I suspected, her much anticipated arrival was nothing short of wonderful. We all wept tears of happiness (oh yes, I cry at every birth) and marveled over this beautiful little babe.
Her birth story speaks for itself, so I’ll let it to the talking from here on out.
Enjoy!
I took some time off in May to spend with my family, and while those few weeks off are always nice and refreshing, I can never wait to get back behind my camera. I have so many cool projects and sessions I’m working on this summer and I can’t wait to get started and share it all with you. A lot of exciting new changes are happening here and soon all will be revealed.
I absolutely adored this session I had with Sweet Baby Jax and his darling mama, Karen. I spent the morning with them just lounging around and cuddling and playing… the perfect way to spend a morning with your sweet baby, I say! I was especially excited to get some shots of Karen nursing her darling babe. To me, there’s just nothing better. I loved the shots we got and I was so thrilled that she allowed me to capture such sweet and intimate moments between she and her son. I hope she’ll treasure these images forever. I couldn’t help but have a permanent grin on my face while editing these, I mean look how delicious that little Jax is!
Enjoy!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

RecommendThis sweet little girl turned one this week. I have been photographing this little angel since she was in her mama’s belly. It’s been so fun to look back through her birth and newborn and six month sessions to see how much she’s grown and changed.
This has been my first whole round of belly to one year sessions and it is so exciting! I have become such close friends with Bentlee’s mama, Jordan and I’m officially Aunt Cass to she and her brother, Boston. I always feel such a closeness to my “birth babies” and their moms and I feel so blessed to be a part of her birthday celebrations this year. Here’s to many more birthdays to come!
For her birthday session we set up a glamorous little garden party (the theme of her birthday) and I could not be more happy with the outcome. Not to mention we had the most beautiful, golden, hazey light! I was in heaven.
Enjoy!
Loved these shots of Jordan and Bentlee,
Isn’t she gorgeous?

RecommendTo me, there is nothing in the entire universe better than having a new baby in your home. I love the smells, the sounds, the calm energy, the bits of baby-ness making a trail all through the house (pacifiers, nursing pads, changing supplies, receiving blankets..) It’s all just pure heaven to me. This may also be the reason that I adore photographing new babies right in their own homes. I love when couples are too busy admiring their new baby to even notice I’m there. I love when families get all snuggled up in bed (where I always spent most of my days as a mom with a new baby) and just relish in all the newborn goodness.
The Griffin family was great for letting me come into their home and let me document them in this happiest of times. I was able to photograph Jessica’s maternity session, her birth session and their newborn session. Booking a birth package has so many advantages, At our maternity session I really get to know my moms/families, and like-wise, they get to know me. I get to see them in action and hear all about their pregnancies and previous deliveries and just chat all things mom and baby related (my favorite subjects). This gives me such a better direction in how I document their birth, and helps them see my approach to shooting and get really comfortable with me. As I’ve mentioned before, birth is really personal for me and when I know the family and we’ve had sessions together, it helps me document that birth in a more personal way. I feel like I leave a piece of myself in all my birth sessions. I am shooting the world through my own eyes, and as I get to know the mother, I can photograph her as I see her. This is essential in creating a personal and intimate session.
By the time we get to a newborn session, we’re all a big family. We can lovingly re-cap on how lovely the birth was, I can admire all the changes the baby has made in the week or two since I’ve seen him last. We often get chatting about nursing and sleep schedules and all that post-delivery care I’ve grown to love so much. At this point, the family is so comfortable with me and can truly open up to me. It takes the pressure off of both of us and we can just relax and create a beautiful session.
When I delivered the birth and newborn discs to Jessica, we sat and looked through them together with tears streaming down both of our faces. It’s these moments that I live and breathe for. It’s what makes this more than a job for me. I am truly a blessed woman to be able to photograph this pure love between a mother and her family.
I hope you enjoyed this session as much as I did photographing it.

RecommendBirth for me is more than just a session that I photograph, it’s more than an action or just another day on the job. Birth is my take-your-breath-away-goose-bumps-knot-in-your-stomach-divine-calling-from-the-heavens passion. I love birth. I love giving birth, I love witnessing birth, I love talking about birth, and I absolutely treasure photographing birth.
To me, there is no other act on this world more beautiful. There is nothing else that is more close to the Heavens above. There is no greater or more divine calling in this universe. For me to be able use my talents in a way that I can document a woman’s journey of bringing her new baby into the world is an absolute blessing to me.
It’s hard for me to describe, but luckily, I can show you what I mean.
Jessica is a dear friend of mine. You have seen her grace this blog a few times, the most recent being her sweet maternity session. Jessica is such a great mom, so sweet and affectionate to her boys and when she asked me to photograph her birth, I was absolutely elated. She and Dallas have such a great connection and being able to witness that in such an intimate moment in their life was so amazing.
Thank you, Griffins, for having me! Congrats on that sweet little man.
xoxo
