Sweet and spunky

These boys were a riot to photograph! They really showed me their sweet and spunky personalities.

They could literally go from this:


To this in .35 seconds flat. LOL

I love boys.

Their mom is a strong, beautiful woman. But I also see where the boys get their spunkiness from – she’s a hoot!

Beautiful maternity session

I only received permission to share a few from this maternity session but you can see just from this small sampling what a fun session it was!  This is my friend Meagan and her husband. Meagan owns an adult dance studio in Ogden that specializes in pole fitness, circus fitness (i.e. trapeze, aerial silks and hammock, aerial hoop), jazz, hip hop, zumba, chair, kick boxing, and belly dancing, just to name a few. I actually spend quite a bit of time there myself. Physically, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been but my self-confidence really increased from the empowerment the studio gives women. If you want to try any of the classes, let me know and I’ll get you a free pass.:)

Until next time,

Joy - These are lovely! I love that shirt he is wearing, so clever!

High School Senior Photography

I admit it; I can definitely be a procrastinator at times especially when there are so many important things to get accomplished during the day. I have a little suspicion there are some high school seniors who they themselves may be procrastinators and have not scheduled their graduation photos yet, but good news is it’s not too late. Give me a buzz and I’ll be sure to squeeze you in!

This girl was so fun to photograph. She brought three very different looks to her session: a fun girly top, a cowgirl outfit, and a biker outfit! I love when high school seniors show off all the dynamic angles of their personalities or the things they’re interested in. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention this girl is a welder too! Love when women go into traditionally men-oriented careers and show them how it’s done. So awesome.

Until next time,

Kim Bullock - I love photos. I enjoy seeing other photographers shoots and style. Nice work.

Office closed

Ok, so I know I’ve been totally MIA lately…but really…things have been buuuusy. That’s busy. With a capitol B. And in this crazy busy-ness I have kinda, sorta, been neglecting my family just a little bit. Ok, a lot. But in my defense all photographers tend to crawl into a perpetual shooting-editing-ordering- cave and we don’t emerge until our clients are taken care of and the crazy busy season has passed.

What I’m getting at is that the office will be closed beginning next week (Christmas week) and will remain closed through the end of the year so I can spend some quality time with my family before they boycott me from being Mom (not that I can blame ‘em either).

Feel free to email me during this time and I will be sure to get back with you once the office opens again.

I hope y’all have a wonderful Christmas (or whatever you celebrate) and a joyful New Year! See you in 2011!!!

Sanders family | utah family photographer

Fall. One word and it’s easy to become flooded with sights, sounds, smells, and feelings, isn’t it? Well, at least I do. This time of year I yearn for the rich savory spices that sweeten end of the season vegetables and warm the soul. I embrace the cold bite in the air knowing the holidays are quickly approaching and try not to think about February when I’m sick of the snow and longing for summer to chase off bitter Old Man Winter.

Another great thing about fall is the peak of family photo sessions. I love meeting my clients and spending time with these wonderful families. To me, it really is an honor that they choose me to capture their family as it is today; to allow me and my lens a glimpse into their beautiful lives.

Meet the Sanders who have such precious and sweet little darlings.

Until next time,
~Shay
