Real families • beautiful loctations • Timeless Memories
When I first started photography, I wanted to be a newborn photographer. I mean, who doesn’t want to hang out with cute little babies?
That was, until I realized that newborn photography is not easy!
When it comes to newborn photography, not only does it require a lot of equipment and props, but it also requires proper training. It takes a lot of skill to not only pose them but to keep them calm and asleep.
For years I have admired the work of Tracy who owns White Space Studios. So when I got the opportunity to attend one of her workshops, I jumped at the chance.
When I get my studio in September, I knew I was going to hold a day for Santa photos. I’ve been wanting to do a Santa session for years and was so dang excited to finally do it this year! I worked on getting the studio ready, painted the walls and re did the floors because I wanted the all white look.
When Kylie reached out to do her family session at Little Sahara Sand Dunes, I was sooo excited. Little Sahara is located in Nephi, Utah and gorgeous place to do a session. Whether you want to go for an engagement session or a family session, you won’t regret it.
While it is a drive, it makes for a stunning backdrop. That being said because it is a drive, I have a couple recommendations for your next session there to make sure it goes smooth and easy on your kiddos.
One of the many perks about having a studio, is the privacy. We all know a lot can happen when you leave the house and get to the studio. We’ve all been there when you’re in the car and someone spits up or has a blow out. Can’t exactly clean that up with a wipe. As parents we have a lot to think about so I though I’d share a few times how to prepare your kids for a family session.
Sunday I checked out Oktoberfest up Little Cottonwood Canyon. Oktoberfest is a great activity to do as a family especially this time of year. You get to see the gorgeous colors and nothing beats being in the mountains.
I wanted to share a little bit about my photography journey because it fells so evolving.
Because these sessions are scheduled back to back, you’ll want to be ready for a fast paced session. This is why coming on time is super important. If you arrive early, you’re welcome to come in the studio or wait in your car for your time slot. I’d suggest waiting in your car to help, so we can capture that early excitement with your kid.
Last year I did a day of Santa mini sessions and had so much fun! I knew I wanted to do it again this year and am excited to announce that we’ll have the same Santa! These will be done in my Draper studio just like last year with a couple surprises. I can’t wait!
I have been a Utah family photographer now for about 7 years and and am so excited to finally offer products to my clients. Now, don’t worry, I’m still offering digitals but am now offering a full service experience. I’ll take care of the ordering, you just worry about showing up and having fun during your session!
