Cute camera bags

I’m always looking for great camera bags and I think I’ve found the perfect ones! Have you heard of Epiphanie Bags? I hadn’t until today but I suspect I’ll be getting to know them real well now. Those bags are delicious!

Sweet newborn | utah newborn photographer

Is there anything more precious than a soft, sweet smelling newborn? Yeah, I didn’t think so either. This little chunky monkey is the newest addition to Jake and Erica’s family and everyone couldn’t be happier.

Speaking of sweet smelling babies, my husband hasn’t really been around newborns enough to remember and appreciate how wonderfully intoxicating their lovely scent really is. Since Jake and Erica are good friends of ours, they came over a weekend or two after their session so my husband could meet the baby in person. As I smell her head and swim in the sweetness, my husband out of curiosity does the same. “Oh my gosh! She DOES smell good! I didn’t know what you were talking about but I totally get it now,” he exclaimed. I think Erica and I laughed about that the rest of the night. Well, I laughed between inhaling that is.

Look at how sweet she is. Can’t you almost smell her now?

Don’t you just love newborn fuzz?

Until next time,

Big annoucement!! | utah boudoir photography

Confession time: I’ve had a goal to launch a boudoir photography division for about two years now but couldn’t ever get around to focusing on it because of, well, life and other important distractions. My poor friends had to listen to me talk about it incessantly for the past two years though.

Well internet, I’m thrilled to say that my friend’s ears will be getting a rest because I’ve just launched Utah Boudoir Photography – a division of Photography By Shay!!! I’m super excited. If you can’t tell, haha.
:D

I will still be photographing families, weddings, and portraits of course, and those will continue to be featured right here. But all the boudoir sessions will be featured on my boudoir blogsite. I’m quite pleased with the division and now you won’t have to worry if your little ones are peering over your shoulder when you come to this blog, you can simply jump over to the boudoir blogsite when you feel comfortable to appreciate the gorgeous women celebrating their beauty.

Be sure to bookmark the site or add it to your RSS feeds! Oh! and don’t forget to fan the fan page on Facebook.

Friend two | utah boudoir photography

In my last post I introduced you to the sweet and beautiful girl I named “friend one” and today, internet, you get to meet the equally sweet and beautiful girl “friend two.”

They came to the session together for support, admitting they were a touch apprehensive about their comfort levels but as they left, they beamed at me exclaiming how surprisingly comfortable they were and how much fun they had. I simply smiled right back basking in the joy I get from empowering women in celebrating their beauty.

Ladies – I have specials for buddy boudoir sessions! Or get a group of friends together and make it a Girls Day and save even more. Wanna hear more? Just contact me for the scoop.

And obviously she too granted permission but asked to remain anonymous …..hence the creative cropping again.

Don’t be shy now, let me know what you think!

Until next time,

Friend one | utah boudoir photography

The brave men and women serving in our military deserve extra special thank you, don’t you agree? Well, for one lucky guy, at least this sweet girl did. She and her friend (who I will be showcasing soon in her own post) contacted me for a boudoir session. They brought some fun military type themed props like a shotgun (!) and dog tags…..it was super cute and way fun.

They both opted for one of the beautiful custom designed calendars I offer so I’ll share some images of those too soon.

Also? Things have been rather busy around here….I have 2 boudoir sessions I’ll be sharing, and possibly two more if permission is granted, a newborn session, and a maternity. Like I said, it’s busy. I like busy.
:)

Obviously, this cutie granted permission but asked to remain anonymous …..hence the creative cropping.
