Baby M {Newborn Photographer}

It is spring and the perfect time of your to capture new life. This sweet baby girl was probably the easiest baby I have ever worked with. She was asleep when I got there and slept through almost the entire session even through most of the outfit changes! Here are a few more of my favorites from the session.

Look at that cute smile. I will tell you why she was smiling. There was a lime green egg sitting on her foot and every time I went to take the picture and would get up on the ladder to shoot down she would kick the egg out of the basket! Little stinker. It seriously happened a half dozen times.

Cutest little Easter bunny I have ever seen!

Baby M's Mom makes tutu dresses that she sales on etsy. She made this special little lavender and grey one just for Baby M. Here is a link to her store - KimberlyKsCreations.

This cute little outfit was Baby M's going home outfit. There family tradition is that Daddy picks out the going home outfit. Daddy has pretty good taste don't you think?

Baby J {Cache Valley Newborn Photographer}

I forget how tiny newborn babies are! Granted my babies were never this small but still. They grow so fast and then you forget. I had so much fun working with this little guy who had just gorgeous skin. I also had a very special assistant - his older sister. Thank you Bell family for having me photograph your new addition! Below are a few more of my favorites.

Are you expecting a new addition? Schedule you deliver/hospital and newborn session with me before baby arrives. Here is a brief description of the delivery/hospital and newborn sessions:

Delivery Session. I will come up to the hospital during labor and delivery and capture the experience. Don't worry I won't take pictures that expose you. ;) This is a great option because it allows Dad to focus on you and not worry about trying to capture pictures of you and baby. I will stay at the hospital as long as it takes. This session also includes the disc with your full resolution images and is $250. 

Newborn hospital session. I come to your recovery room during the day, after baby is born and take pictures at the hospital. I will take pictures of the baby, siblings with baby, Mom and baby, Dad and baby ect. Here is a link to a newborn hospital session. This session lasts about 45 minutes, includes the disc with your full resolution images and is $65.

Newborn Session: This session takes place at my home within the first 10 days. I take pictures of your sweet newborn and his tiny details including hands, feet and hair. This session takes some time and usually lasts about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Your session also includes the disc with your full resolution images and is $125. 

To schedule your hospital, delivery and/or newborn session please call or email me (435.764.3598 ~ iotamaker@gmail.com)

Little Man {Cache Valley Childrens Photographer}

How cute it this little guy! I can't believe how much he has changed and grown in the last 4 months.  It seems just a few weeks ago I was taking pictures of him at the hospital and his newborn photos and now he is so big! 

This session was taken over at the Cache Valley Photography Connection's Studio. This is a great option in the winter and with babies. Below are a few more of my favorites from the session. If you have an upcoming milestone ie baptism, graduation, birthday, mission and would like photos please give me a call or drop me an email. (435.764.3598 ~ iotamaker@gmail.com)

Studio J Love

It is a well known fact that I LOVE Studio J! What is Studio J? It is Close To My Hearts' online digital scrapbooking program. In one afternoon I created 19 layouts!!! Ok I kind of cheated. I used the Express Collections. Basically the layouts are created for you and all I had to do was add my pictures and the journaling. Could it be any easier? I think not. Now are you ready for the icing on the cake?  During March, Close To My Heart's Studio J 2-page 12" x 12" layouts are only $5.

Did you know that statistics show that most scrapboookers spend about $9-$10 per 2-page traditional layout they create? That includes paper, embellishments, photo developing, etc. So, at $5 per 2-page digital layout you are saving some serious dinero! Plus, that's almost a $2 savings per layout from our regular price. PLUS, you don't even have to be a scrapbooker to use Studio J. You just have to be someone with photos who wants to preserve them beautifully for their family. It's THAT EASY!

To play with Studio J, just head to the Studio J Page on my website. It's absolutely FREE to play and build layouts...and it's SO SIMPLE AND USER FRIENDLY. You don't pay a single penny until you purchase. Of course, you'll want to be sure to purchase in March to to get that $5 price. On April 1, it's back to $6.95.

What do you get for  your $5?

• Your 2-page 12" x 12" layout
• 1 high resolution .jpg file of each page. This way you can print more at a later date if you want to. This is emailed to you after you place your order
• 1 lower resolution .jpg file of the 2 pages together (like you see here in this post). This is great for posting online for friends and family members to see. This is also emailed to you after you order.

If you have questions give me a call (435.764.3598). I've shared a few of my Studio J layouts that I created yesterday. Enjoy!

Birthday Girls' Indoor Studio Session {Utah Children Photographer}

Just because it is cold outside doesn't mean we can't still get great photos. We just need a fabulous indoor location and lucky for us there is one right here in Cache Valley. I had the opportunity to take these cute birthday girls' pictures at the Cache Valley Photo Connection studio.  We had a great time trying out different props and backdrops. Below are a few more of my favorites. If you need a session and would prefer an indoor studio look give me a call and we can schedule your session.

Ok we are done. 

Hall~June Temple Pictures {Utah Wedding Photographer}

The day this couple were married it was blizzard conditions and after getting those group shots everyone was frozen so the couple opted to come back after their honeymoon to take their temple shots. It was a much warmer, sunnier day. Here are a few of my favorite from their session.

Hall~June Wedding {Utah Wedding Photographer}

In December I had the opportunity to photography this fun loving couples wedding day. It was a cold snowy blizzard sort of day but it was gorgeous! I met the bride and groom early at the temple before the ceremony so we could capture those first sight shots. Lindsay had been very careful not to let the groom see her dress until their wedding day. It was such a sweet moment that I am grateful that I could be a part of. Here are a few more favorite moments from their special day.

 These poor Californians were not loving our blizzard freezing cold weather.

This was a great experience and it was made even better because I was able to spend the whole day shooting this wedding with my BFF and Sister Lynette Kankamp. Obviously we can't be serious all the time!
