This is my life.

I think getting your family pictures done is important.

So important, in fact, that it's what I do for a living and as a hobby.

But as a photographer, it's a lot easier to stay behind the camera. Obviously, I have an insane amount of pictures of my baby girl, and of her and her Daddy together. But the ones of her and I are few and far between. It's important to me for her to be able to look back and know that she actually did have a Mommy in her life.

I also think it's really easy to push pictures to the backburner. You always have a few extra pounds to lose or more important things to get done. THESE ARE YOUR MEMORIES. I'm not sure there's anything more important than preserving this time in your life RIGHT NOW, RIGHT AS IT IS.

So I scheduled for Vanessa to take our family pictures. We haven't had any done together since Nora was born and I think the time is overdue. But my sweet (and extremely busy) photographer has had important things come up the last two times we've scheduled to get them done. This last Sunday we were ready and walking out the door when I found out she wouldn't be able to make it. So we decided to call my mom down (who can barely work a point and shoot) and see if she could snap a few. Luckily she brought her boyfriend Dave who was capable of pushing the shutter button and we captured a few really good pictures.

I can't wait for our real photoshoot but thought I would share a few of these for now.

W2W Wednesday - Salt Lake City Boutique Photographer

I know, did you even know W2W Wednesday even still existed? I'm sure you thought I was done, but alas, here is a new one for you. The perfect Fall Grunge wardrobe for your family pictures. Hope you find some inspiration from it!

Album Pictures - Utah Custom Photographer

I'm so excited to be showing pictures of my newest album!

It's true when they say that big things come in small packages. This beautiful little album is only 5x5 but has big impact. I wish these pictures could even give it justice but I'm definitely not a product photographer.

The perfect way to get all of your session images, these albums are offered in:

5x5 - 20 image

10x10 - 30 image

With so many cover options, there's definitely something to match your personality and session!



Gracie Lady - Salt Lake Childrens Photography

Those cheeks.

That smile.

Those eyes.

I mean honestly, could this sweet baby girl be any cuter? She has the personality every parent wishes their child could have. Always happy, always smiling. Just the sweetest little thing.

And I just don't think I could say enough  about Mommy. I've only known Kerri a short time but she is by far one of the kindest people I've ever met. One of those rare people that make you feel warm and welcome the moment you speak to them. One of those rare people that make you feel like you're special. The kind of person that doesn't mind showing that they care about you.

Thank you for letting me capture this sweet time in sweet Gracie's life and enjoy your sneak peek!

This one just makes me smile.
