W2W Wednesday!

So sorry I missed last weeks edition. That's why I didn't promise I'd have one up every week. I knew I'd drop the ball eventually (I just didn't realize it would be week 3 haha).

I love putting together these fun style guides and I also hate it. I love fashion but I'm pretty sure my husband would kill me if I were to buy all of these cute outfits. So I'm just left wanting all of these things.

This week features some cute styles for a senior girl to wear.

Kid on a Bike - Utah High School Senior Photographer


I was a little nervous for this session. It was my very first senior session and it was a boy. So when he rolled up on his bullet bike, saying I was intimidated was an understatement.

I had NOTHING to be worried about. This kid was a natural. I think he was even getting a little embarrassed over all the praise but I couldn't help it. He was good.

He knew how to pose. When to smile. When to pull a straight face. He didn't need any coaching. It made things super simple for me.

You see, I'm used to chasing little kids around praying that I get at least one decent shot.



Graduating high school is such an exciting time. You have your whole life ahead of you. You can take on the world pretty much. And Kyle's going to. He's planning on joining the U.S. Coast Guard. I have a feeling he's going to be great at whatever he chooses for himself.



This kid and his bike. Man, I couldn't have asked for a better prop. I love how the pictures are a little mysterious but still fun. And they show who he really is. Adventerous.





I really enjoyed getting to know a little bit about you Kyle. Congratulations on your graduation and good luck with everything ahead of you!

RAMBUNCTIOUS - Utah Child Photographer

I love how every single session I have presents a different challenge for me. I love that I'm learning and growing in photography every day.

I had so much fun shooting this rambunctious little two year old. He was so full of energy and running around any chance he could get. At least a quarter of the pictures were of the back of his head as he ran away.


I think toddlers are my favorite age to shoot so far. I just get to chase them around while they discover the world around them.



It's so fun to see their faces light up upon discovery of a truck, or a river, or a big huge turkey. (Scary, scary, right Adrienne?)


So often, I have people apologize when their child is acting out, or they don't want to do what we have in mind. Please don't apologize. I come to every session with the knowledge that there's probably going to be a tear or two shed. It's nothing to be worried about. We'll get all the smiles we need, I assure you.


I love my job, and I love getting to know your little ones.

All sides of your little one.



I really enjoyed spending some time with you guys, and am glad you're back so we can get to know each other better.


I can't wait for what's in store next week! I'm going to shoot at a location that I've been dying to get into for a year. Thanks to everyone for stopping by!

Enjoy your weekend.

What2Wear Wednesday

One of the most frequently asked questions I get is "What should we wear?". First and foremost, I want you to come to your session feeling COMFORTABLE.

My biggest tip is that you don't need to be matchy matchy. Would you normally go out with your family all dressed in white/black shirts and khakis? Probably not.

The key word is COORDINATE. Find one or two colors that you love and build your wardrobe around these. Don't be afraid of prints and accesories. Scarves, jewelry, hats. These are all your best friends.

Lots of colors and layers photograph really well. Have fun with it!

Most importantly, if you're feeling a little stuck, don't be afraid to ask for tips! I love to shop and would love to help you look amazing!

Each Wednesday I will try to bring you some wardrobe inspiration. But, I'm not making any promises.
