Britta: Utah Maternity Photography

Britta and I were in college together studying photography, we met when we were both struggling to draw a garden gnome in our required intro to drawing class. Let's just say it's a good thing we both stuck with photography. She is a fantastic Utah based photographer available for weddings, families and the like.

Britta is pregnant with her second boy and I am so excited to see what kind of personality this little one is going to have. Her two-year-old son, Ben, is adorable and quite a handful. He is so sweet with Britta's protruding belly.

We decided to shoot Britta's maternity photos up at Soda Row in South Jordan. It's my new favorite. Britta is one hot mama! I can only hope that someday I will look as cute as she looks as a preggers. My fave is her sweet shirt she got at Target, considering the day she had it was fitting for our shoot.

Michelle: Utah Headshot Photography

I met Michelle back in 2004 when we lived in the same apartment complex in UT. She is one of the most fun, spontaneous and joyful people I know. One of my favorite memories of that year is the Batman Date a bunch of us planned. We all dressed up as characters from Batman (I was Vicky Vale the newspaper photographer, figures) and Michelle was Poison Ivy. Our dates were picked up in a U-haul driven around in circles and then dropped off at the date location. We had a blast!

Because I can't not show you pictures...

Ok, onto the actual photographs of gorgeous Michelle. She needed headshots for her auditions. She is a teacher by day and an actress by night. I couldn't get over her eyes with the color of her hair. Completely stunning.

Mugleston Family: Las Vegas Family Photographer

I am lucky enough to be related to these adorable little kids and their parents. Misty is the sister of Sir Luke. She and her husband are the parents of twin two year old girls and a one year old boy. They were staying with us for a couple days last week and we made sure we fit a quick photo shoot into the mix early on Friday morning. It was pretty hot even at 7am but we were still able to get some adorable shots, even if the girls were much more interested in rocks and dirt than me and my silly camera.

I think some of my favorites were of the girls following daddy as he mimicked the model airplanes that were flying overhead. Goodness, I could have had another week with them if it was possible. Those kids are all so darling!

Sir Luke took some video whilst we we out there as well. Thanks to him and his mad skills. Check out his video work at Tripod Productions. You should hire him to shadow us on our next shoot. And you'll get a sweet video like this.

Boswell Kids: Las Vegas Children Photography

This is another session that I neglected to get up, heaven only knows why because I had so much fun!

I've been spending a lot of time with these cute kids as of late. I seriously love them. Blaise has so many things to say and will talk your ear off if given the chance. Little Aspen kills me with cuteness.

Two days before the shoot I helped Melissa, mother to Blaise and Aspen, out while she got her windows tinted on her car. There happened to be a pet store right next door. "Don't go in there," she said, "it will break your heart." Melissa and I both have a serious affinity for pugs. She knows I've been on the hunt for a long time. I went in anyway. Two adorable pug puppies sleeping in a tiny cage behind a glass wall stared longingly at me. I was seriously losing it. SO CUTE! I wanted to save them. The male puppy was $399 and the female was $499. If you know the price of purebred puppies you know these prices were ridiculous. Melissa and I toyed with the idea of going "halfsies" on the little male pug. I was so tempted.

The next day I was having a rough day and Sir Luke decided we should go take a look at that lonely puppy from the day before. And maybe get him. So we headed over to find that he was gone. I was sad. I got a text message from Melissa saying to call her when I got a chance.

I called her back; SHE WENT BACK AND BOUGHT THE PUPPY! Only about 15 minutes before I arrived. I barely missed her. Crazy.

Little Memo had his first photo shoot with the kids the next day. So I'm ok with how it worked out.

We had a blast photographing on a blustery morning. There were hoards of yellow flowers all over the community so we found some perfect spots and got some fantastic photographs of these kids. I love when parents think there's no way we got anything and then see the images and are thrilled and surprised. I always find those special moments that you didn't think existed.
