Carter Family: Logan Utah Studio Photography

This cute family was in studio last week celebrating a big milestone for their littlest member. Baby C was turning 1 last week and this family enjoyed capturing this occasion with pictures for the whole family!

​​

My favorite are these two little guys who were just so naturally fun in studio. Big brother was absolutely perfect and smiled non-stop. His little bro was so comfortable in studio and posed himself most of the time. 

​​

The best was seeing this cute family interact. Mom and Dad were able to get such natural smiles out of their boys and it was an absolute joy to capture these cuties. 

Happy birthday baby C!!

Into the Woods Newborn Kit

I've been working on this kit for a bit. It's inspired by my adorable friend, Britney, who is expecting a little boy. It's also inspired by one of the most classic boy themes ever- the woods. 

Whether it's going off to the neighborhood forest to build a fort out of fallen tree branches, or exploring, or just hunting for bugs. Little boys, and big boys escape and play in the woods. 

Britney's darling nursery is based off of this theme, with a definite modern-hunting theme. There are modern deer silhouettes, and arrows. It's so very fabulous and fits in well with her husband, Ryan's, love of hunting. 

To suit her nursery and blend in with her family's olive and cream family portraits and decor, I created the Into the Woods kit and Bitty kit. 

The kit is defined by lots of different textures and layers. Like what you would find walking through the forest, there is smooth and rough, hard and soft, all working together to bring a beautiful, earthy, natural look without looking out-dated. 

Just check out some of the details on these wraps and hats and such. 

Just perfect. 

And it looks even better on!

Four Generation Family Photo

The standard story of most of my photography clients is that they find me (often through a friend or family member) and book a session, then continue to book beautiful sessions throughout the year to capture amazing moments for their family. 

Darcy is one such client who has been an amazing person all around. Her kids are adorable, she loves to recommend me to everyone around her, and she lets me capture amazing things for her. She is the epitome of why I am passionate about affordable photography for my clients. 

This last week, I had the priveledge of seeing Darcy's parents again (who tagged along at the Halloween shoot) as well as Darcy's 92 year old Grandmother as we did a four generation shoot between mothers and daughters. 

Oh, this was beautiful and made me want to do the same thing with my family. 

There is nothing better in the world than the love of a mother. 

Except maybe capturing that memory and holding onto it for ever. 

Cache Valley Amateur Hockey Association Photos

We really do have so many amazing people in Cache Valley, Utah. Being an affordable photographer, I specialize in making beautiful photography accessible. This fits in so well with local youth groups because I can offer packages and prices that meet parent's wants for beautiful photography as well as their budgets. 

These boys and girls in our local Hockey League (located at the Eccles Ice Center in North Logan) are so great. They are out on the ice working hard, and they were such perfect subjects. Happy to smile or be serious depending on their age and their parents. Team pictures were a bit chaotic,  especially with the younger groups. Who knew adding ice, skates, and dozens of small children to a portrait would prove difficult. It took several tries, and a bit of loud cheering but we finally got (most) of these cute kiddos to stay put for a shot. 

Meanwhile, we had some great package prices for parents to choose from that offered flexibility and affordability. Here's a sneak peak at what it broke down to. 

Single Images: $10. (Parents were able to choose a digital or print file, as well as if they wanted a team or individual image)

Two Images: $15. The most popular package by far was the digital two-image package, it's a great price per image and you get a print release to make and share as many copies as you want. Print images were also an option. 

Three images: $20. With a head shot, a full shot, and a team shot, three images provided the most for parents and were also available in print or digital files with print release. 

Now it's off to deliver all the players images. The best news- Photo by Memories has one of the shortest delivery times for team pictures, same as family and children pictures. All images, print and digital will be delivered in 2 weeks. 

Because this kind of photography should be shared, soon.
