SO excited I got to be a part of this couple's gender reveal!! I met Jackie and Paul when they let me come along and second shoot an engagement session with them and I had a blast! Jackie is also a photographer in Logan, check out her work here! She was so helpful and answered any questions I had and I have loved following her work ever since!
When she asked me to take pictures to help announce what they were having, I got super excited!! Jackie and Paul wanted a mountain look with snow being an added bonus. After scouting around Logan where most of it had melted, I was able to find some and was so happy!! This was my first time shooting in the snow and it was cold, but super pretty and worth it! I loved their idea to use balloons and could not wait for the session. A half hour before we were supposed to start, Jackie texted me they might be a little late because the baby was being stubborn. I was so happy they were able to find out what it was because I totally have been there. When we were finding out if Boston was a boy or girl, the nurse wasn't able to tell us the gender and I was a little over 22 weeks. I couldn’t wait to find out what it was and was so happy when they said it was a girl! I remember when we finally found out what me and my husband were having and how ecstatically happy we both were. It then felt so real and it was hard to believe we would be parents in just a few short months. Crazy to think to our surprise we would become parents two and a half months sooner than we anticipated ;) I am so happy for these two and can't wait for them to be parents! They will be the best! :)

It has been WAY too long since I did a maternity session! This one just made me want to do more- it was that amazing!! The lovely Carly Jensen of Carly J Photography invited me to come along on her session and I was so thrilled! I was so grateful she gave me a ride to the location because it was in a place in Logan Canyon I was not familiar with and knowing me I would have gotten lost with no service in the canyon. When the gorgeous couple walked out followed by their two dogs, I knew this session would be a blast. It was my first session with dogs and it made it all the more fun! Paige's little baby bump looked adorable in her cute outfits and I could not stop taking pictures of her! She makes being pregnant look good my friends! Tia Celise did her makeup and if you have not seen her work, go check her out she is amazing!! It sounds weird but Paige made me a little baby hungry and made me miss my little baby bump. It is so exciting because they are first time parents and having their first little one, a little baby boy! It is so fun because Carly just had her first baby too, a beautiful little baby girl a couple of months ago. We swapped baby stories on the way up the canyon to the location and it totally took me back! I do not miss those exhausting days of no sleep from waking up multiple times in the night. Carly's little one is barely two months and sleeps super good though! Since Boston was so little when we brought him home (4 lbs 3 oz), he needed to be feed every two hours. THANK goodness for my amazing husband who took shifts with me and would take the night shift from 11pm-3am and I would do 3am-7am. Honestly thought it turned into most night being like 11pm-5am that Sean would take and let me sleep because he is amazing like that.
Thanks again to both Carly and Paige for letting me be a part of this! I had so much fun!! Kellie and Matt are the cutest couple and are going to make the cutest parents! Kellie is due in two weeks with a baby girl. I know Kellie personally because my husband is good friends with her family and her brother is his best friend. She is from and grew up in my same home town, Thatcher Arizona. I went to Kellie and Matt's sealing when they got married and had to opportunity to take their family pictures later on! Their maternity session was taken at the Ogden Botanical Gardens and it is just beautiful there! They are just the sweetest and it has been so fun to watch them from being engaged, married, and expecting. Congrats guys! You are going to be the best parents :)
