"I Do" & "It's A Boy!"

Ok so I admit, I have been a terrible blogger over the last several months! I don't know what it is but every time I tell myself I'm going to blog, a million other things get in the way. Anyway, I am hoping to make up for some lost time by posting not ONE, but TWO of my most recent sessions.

I have been on a natural light kick lately and shot two sessions over this last weekend using almost 100% natural light (aside from the stuff I shot in my studio) and I am really pleased with how they turned out. I have a weakness for warm, yummy lighting that just pours over my subjects and these two sessions did not disappoint!

First we have the lovely Ashley and her camera shy, but very appeasing fiance', Jake. These two are beautiful together and I always have so much fun photographing them. Ashley has been a client of mine for going on three years now and I am super excited to be photographing her upcoming wedding in Moab this August. Here are some of my favorite shots from their engagement session:

Next we have Jon and Jenn, one of the cutest couples I know. They too have been clients of mine for a couple years now and are expecting their first child, a baby boy, next month. I had the privilege of taking their maternity photos and I absolutely LOVE shooting maternity pictures! There is something about a pregnant woman and being able to capture the essence of a new life about to be born and the beauty of a woman's body when she is pregnant. It may sound cheesy, but that's how I feel, especially after having a child of my own. I just think pregnant bellies are so beautiful and I love being able to photograph a glowing mommy to be :)

I had a really hard time choosing only a few photos to post from this session because I love them all so much, so you get some eye candy overload today. Enjoy! :)

So there you have it, two beautiful natural light sessions, four very awesome clients that I had so much fun photographing, and one vow to try to keep on top of my blogging in a commitment to continue bringing you more fabulous images. :)

Happy Ground hog's Day!

Keilani

I had the privilege of photographing the beautiful Keilani for both her engagements and bridals. When I first met up with her she "warned" me that she felt awkward in front of the camera and needed "a lot" of direction. I beg to differ...she and her fiance (now husband) were both complete naturals! I hardly had to give them any guidance at all and their chemistry was so apparent!

They got married in beautiful Hawaii this past weekend, which I would've have been there to photograph if I wasn't 9 1/2 months pregnant...a bittersweet situation.

But I was thrilled to be able to work with them as much as I did and couldn't be happier with the photos!

Here are my favorites from the engagement and bridal session.

The Levin Girls at Gardner Village

I have had the privilege of photographing the Levin family for the last 4 years and every time it gets better and better. I've been able to watch their oldest daughter, Ava, grow up into a beautiful little lady and now they have two adorable 1 year old twins, Elyana and Kaia who are so much fun to photograph!

In June I met up with the Levins at Gardner Village and took pics of all three of their girls. They are soooo photogenic! I just had to share some of my favorite shots from the session with you.
