Miss Adelae

You may remember Miss Adelae's entrance to the world here... well, four months later the Michelin Man aint got nothing on this babe.

So sad this lovely family moved to California days after this shoot... you will be missed!

Ries Family Album

Sometimes there are those families that you encounter that just seem so perfect for you... well, meet the Ries family. This is exactly how I felt when entering their home. I have wanted to share this shoot for awhile, but decided to wait and share the album design instead. Such a wonderful way to share your family images with others. I kind of went out of my comfort zone a bit using these sweet watercolor illustrations, but in the end, it felt right and looked adorable.

And for the record, I walked out of this shoot with the words "I wuv you picture lady", ringing in my ears... yep, totally sold on this family.

Sulivan June's Birth Story (Utah Birth Photography)

Miss Sulivan joined us early last Tuesday morning. She gave her mama a good 18 hour run for her money and I was present for the final six. When she finally arrived after 3 hours of pushing, many tears were shed... mainly by me. I am kind of baby when it comes to babies. (Prefer a slide show? You can view it here).

Kirstin's mama drove straight for 10 hours to see her first grandchild born and made it with time to spare.

Due to the early hour (it was about four in the morning at this point), I received permission to enter the nursery and capture Suli's first bath.

I feel so honored to be apart of each and every birth. Thank you Weston and Kirstin (she also is a photographer) for this grand opportunity.
