Cade - 7 days new! | St. George, Utah Newborn Photographer

I was so excited to be able to do these newborn photos for my cousin. Ever since WPPI in Vegas, I've been dying to do a newborn shoot. I felt newborn photography was a direction that I wanted to move into. I've been slowly adding to my "studio" and that made me even more anxious to photograph a sweet new baby. Cade was amazing. It took him a little bit to really fall into that awesome newborn dreamland (you know, the kind where there could be a hurricane outside and they still don't wake up?), but once he was in that deep sleep, that's when the magic happened :)

Thank you, Hannah and Curtis and Congratulations on your new baby.

Calvin and Jordan's Wedding Day | St. George Utah Wedding Photographer

The Vesco wedding was fantastic. Jordan's family did a superb job putting this wedding on. I was able to stay the entire day and I enjoyed every minute of it. I was able to photograph the bride getting ready and her mother and sisters helping in every detail. She was absolutely stunning. I photographed the venue and the beautiful decor, the ceremony, formal photos, a few of the bride of groom, and the ceremony with the bouquet toss and cake cutting. I felt so lucky to be apart of their special day. Thank you Vesco and Borst family!

Congratulations to Calvin and Jordan!

Kynzlee is OnE! | St. George Utah Child Photographer

Ok seriously.. I think this is the funnest one year old session I've ever done. Kynzlee was absolutely adorable and full of smiles and personality. Her mom and I laughed and acted crazy the whole night while shooting these photos. At one point we were in my studio room and our husbands were watching the kids in the other room. They asked us if we turned into animals because we were laughing and making funny noises and such to get Kynzlee to look/smile/laugh. My cheeks were hurting I was smiling so much! 

I love sessions like this because when I edit them, all those memories come back and I get to see a cute girl looking back at me on my screen and I can't help but smile all the way through the editing process too. 

Happy 1st Birthday sweet Kynzlee!!

Ohh ya, the infamous cake smash. She was hilarous! When her mom put the cake in front of her she started licking her lips! So Cute!! Then once she really got into the cake, it was more fun to throw and fling the cake than eat it :) What a blast she had!

Her mom had a wonderful idea of the "O" "N" "E" letters. It turned out super cute! I used these pictures to design her birthday invitation.

80th Birthday Celebration - Southern Utah Event Photographer

A couple of weeks ago I was asked to photograph an 80th birthday party. It was SO much fun! The woman  who turned 80 is incredible. She has an incredible family too. All of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren were so adorable and cute. I was grateful to have spent the time there photographing and seeing the love of families in full force. 

Happy 80th Birthday Patricia!
