Teagan the Toddler- Rocking out with the Terrible Twos

By now Teagan is an old hand when it comes to WLP photoshoots.  I believe I have now had 5 or 6 different sessions with Teagan over the last couple years, and have seen him grow from a nice chunky baby into a rambunctious and energetic two year old.  He's always been a poseur, and this shoot was no different.

Raps Family

I love repeat customers! It's so fun to watch a family change and to be there for different stages in their life. I shot the Raps family in California last year when I photographed Kelsey and Alec's wedding. They were such a fun family and we got along so well that I was delighted when Arlene Raps called me to let me know they were coming into town for Lauren's (Kelsey's older sister) graduation and they wanted to book a family portrait session.

Kelsey and Alec will be celebrating their one year anniversary soon, and are still just as in love today as they were on their wedding day.

The entire family was a blast to work with, but little Ava definitely stole the show.

It's really hard to beat taking photos in a big green park on a beautiful summer day.

It was good to see Jeff and Lauren again. Thomas and Jeff have been friends for years since they served LDS missions in Mexico City at the same time. That was originally how Jeff's sister-in-law Kelsey found me for her wedding photography. Hooray for referrals!

It was so cute how Ava had all these stock expressions. Jeff and Lauren had taught her so that they could say "Ok now Happy Smile," or "Now Excited Smile", or even "Now do a Shy Smile" and Ava would instantly pose and look right at the camera with the right expression. No bribes required!

She seemed to have gotten the catwalk down on her own though. She was fascinated by high heel shoes and kept stealing Aunt Kelsey's and Grandma's so that she could strut her stuff. Someone's going to end up being a model!

The one thing I hope for from my clients is PERSONALITY... in this shoot, I hit the jackpot. They were laughing and being playful from beginning to end. I loved it!

A recent shoot I did in my studio was a head shot session for Kelli, a candidate for Miss Utah. My head shot sessions are a little different than standard portrait sessions- they include 5 different photos, but I do a lot more on the editing above and beyond the standard portraits. Kelly needed a few different photos for the promotion of the pageant, including a few wearing a crown! (a first for me, i admit)


Now here's a few photos from some past studio shoots.

Southwick Kids

Here's another quick studio shoot.

Tullis Kids

This time we got to do a bit of studio photography, as Leah wanted some photos of her little girl in her baby blessing dress, as well as a few photos of her two boys for Christmas cards. Even though we shot this back in December, I'm only finally getting around to posting the photos. I'm very efficient.
We switched up the subject every few minutes, depending on who was feeling cooperative at the moment. There were many bribes involved.

Beauchamp Family

Here's a shoot I did for Christmas for my sister Chelsea and her family while we were up in Spokane. Their son Elijah is super adorable; I love getting a chance to shoot him! :)

My Niece and Nephew

During our trip to California to shoot Kelsey and Alec's wedding, we were fortunate enough to time it in a way to be able to spend Thanksgiving with Thomas' family. The food was fabulous, and it was great to relax with family in the warm weather. While I was down there, I couldn't resist the impulse to take a few photos of the in-laws, especially my adorable niece Rebekah and my nephew Michael. Becky is not quite 3 and Michael, despite being the hulking specimen of emerging toddlerdom that he is, isn't even 10 months. They got a little dressed up, and here are a few photos I especially enjoyed.
