BLOXHAM FAMILY // AT HOME FAMILY SESSION

BLOXHAM FAMILY // AT HOME FAMILY SESSION

the time i spent in their cute little home seriously warmed my soul. the trust and vulnerability that goes into inviting someone (especially someone you don’t know, though i have photographed them before) into your home is not lost on me. it is a huge honor and every time i am invited into a home with my camera, my heart grows about 3 sizes, a la The Grinch.

LINDSEY, JAMES, + ADDY // SALT LAKE CITY

 

are you guys ready to see one of my favorite families in action?? i shot addy's birth story, and then her newborns, and then her 6-month photos, and now their family pictures a year later! she turns 2 soon and i can't believe its been that long. i am obsessed with how their photos turned out. can i do all the families at home, please?

 

MI CASA ES SU CASA

it has been awhile that i've wanted to do another "day in the life of" with my boys. basically how i would capture them if they were my clients (which, if anything, they'd probably pay me NOT to photograph them, lol) but i wanted things shot just as they are around our little house, our little family. minus their parents and plus their cousin (who makes a cameo in a few shots). let me know what you think!

TAYLORS // AT HOME

photographing a fellow photographer whose work you greatly respect is always nerve-wracking. but when hannah asked me to take her family's photos in her home i was ecstatic. they have the cutest little family in the cutest little house. i had an amazing time following them around their house for a few hours. i told them what to do in a few shots, but most are just a candid look at their everyday. but you wanna know a secret? what makes these photos special is not their cute house and their nice clothes and their general attractiveness. i mean, that helps. but what speaks to me the most, and what i hope is conveyed in the images, is so much more than all of that stuff. it is the way a mother looks at her son. the way her son looks at the tv (ha!). the bodies in the home in which they live. all of the little moments and quirks that make up their lives. the way sweet little maddox hands his momma his sippy cup. how he stands around in his diaper. the way his dad smiles at his mom. THAT is what gets me excited to shoot. THAT is what i care about. and THAT is what i am excited to share with you today. i hope you enjoy.

TREY // FRESH 48

fresh 48's are sessions done (usually at the hospital) within the first 48 hours after a baby's birth. sometimes i do these along with the birth story- though they're a great option for those wanting photos at the hospital but not a full birth story. this mama had her birth story done by whitney of grey giraffe photography (highly recommend, btw). i couldn't do the birth story because, well, i was a little preoccupied... giving birth.

YES this is the fresh 48 session for my own (third) son. so i am in these photos. my husband and sons are in these photos. my nieces and nephews and assorted family members are in these photos. most of the ones i am in i either set up a timer or handed the camera to someone and gave instructions. the rest i took. and then edited and curated (obvs). but who am i kidding, no one is still reading this! you have all scrolled past my blabbing to see the PICS. i get it. don't blame ya. isn't he the sweetest?
