Ellie

Going into this session I had no expectations or premeditated plan. I was just gonna go with the flow and hope for the best. All I knew was that I HAD to have pictures of this girl.

Ellie is so gorgeous and has such a unique style. She impressed me down to my core. She is a super talented young woman. A SPECTACULAR artist, warm soul, and real-hearted human. I am so lucky to have met her and got the chance to work with her.

And not to mention she sells these badass dread extensions. So if you want to go purchase some head on over to her etsy shop.

Jackie Counts // BraBar Boutique Collab

Jackie is like, my favorite person to photograph. ever. She is so cute, sweet, real, and we just work and get along together so well.

Throw in Mimi Porter, who designed all the amazing pieces and works for BraBar Boutique, and you have some serious freaking magic. 

You will recognize the garland hanging on the wall from BlueJay Floral (from the maternity session I blogged a couple posts back). It worked AMAZING for this shoot. We went to The-Photo-Shop studio in Payson. It was a little cold, a little dirty, and lot of AWESOME. perfect for this shoot and the garland.

One of my favorite sessions to date! I hope you all love it as much as I do!!

Jiajing Yi Portraits

This cute girl reached out to me to do a shoot and I was completely THRILLED. I mean, come one, look at her!

This winter has been suuuuuper slow for me (has it been for everyone?) so I have been doing a ton of collaborations and styled shoots which have been amazing. This one by far one of my favorites! 

We went up to Salt Lake to Paradise Palm, then we walked around the streets for a minute and found the cutest antique shop, then we went to a Baskin Robins. and it was all amazing. 

There are so many favorites in this collection so heads up. be prepared for about a million images to look through. ;) 

Stacey Maternity // BlueJay Floral Collab

I got to put together this adorable maternity shoot for Stacey with the help of Mckenna from BlueJay Floral. I knew that I wanted some kind a garland that we could drape over Stacey's arms and shoulders like a shawl. Mckenna TOTALLY nailed it and brought my vision to life! I could not have asked for better. 

I haven't gotten to do very many maternity shoots lately and I felt like I needed more in my portfolio. So here we are. I wanted something unique and different. I also had to choose a location that would really highlight the garland and not take away from it or Stacey. So I chose to go out to the Great Saltair out on the flats. And it was freaking perfect. 

It was a little bit hard to work in a location where there's literally nothing... but it tested my creativity and challenged my mind to get unique images. And I loved every single second of it. 

Stacey was such a trooper walking through the cold and muddy flats! I have not shot out there ever.. and didn't really know what to expect. Especially with it being winter! Winter without snow for that matter. 

I'm so happy with how the session turned out. HUGE thanks to BlueJay Floral for making my maternity dreams come true haha! 

Mandy Seniors

I got to take pictures of this FREAKING GORGEOUS high school senior last weekend. And can I just say.... IM OBSESSED. Mandy was so sweet and so easy to work with. We also got to take her pictures on her 18th birthday! How cool is that?! She chose to spend her birthday shooting with ME. I took that as such an honor! Her sweet mom came along too and carried all her clothes and shoes. She was such a trooper in the freezing cold!

I have really loved to learn single person portraits. GIVE ME ALL THE SENIORS :) 

Jackie Boudoir // Natalie Krall Artistry Collab

My first blog post on my new website. How exciting! Not that I think a whole lot of people will see it. but it's fun for me ;) early this month I was able to work with Natalie Krall Artistry on a boudoir shoot. We asked Jackie Counts to be our model and I asked my friend, Taelor Drury of Tiel Photography to shoot with me. We shot at ECD Studio in American Fork. AMAZING.

 To say "it was so fun" would be an understatement. I loved working with all these amazing, talented women! Here are the photos from that shoot! 

Heads up, this is a BOUDOIR shoot sooooo be prepared to see Jackie in some seriously gorgeous lingerie pieces ;)
