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,

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.

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.

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.

She slipped and when he questioned her further it didn’t take long before she was confessing her plans, haha. You know, in all honesty I don’t think anything was spoiled though because he still is still super excited to receive his gift. In fact, after she had gone home she sent me a message saying he wanted to come over that night to look at them, lol.

So, without further ado, here is the sneak peek of my favorites for her anxiously awaiting sweetie:

Oh, and Ladies – if you would like to schedule a last minute boudoir session for your honey’s Valentine’s gift, let me know asap. I might be able to squeeze you in this weekend.

I can certainly understand where they’re coming from so in addition to prints, bedside albums, and calendars, I offer beautifully custom designed keepsake image boxes. On the outside they look similar to a book but when the cover is lifted, the real treasure is revealed! Nestled on a satin ribbon are the printed images from your boudoir session.

These image boxes provide a perfect way to appreciate all the wonderfully sexy images from your session and a discrete and safe method for storing the images between admiration times.

P.S. If you’re interested in securing a spot for the Boudoir Mini-session Sale — don’t hesitate — there are only 3 spots left!

Until next time,

Oh, Hi! I’m slowly awaking from my sugar coma inflicted by the holiday season tornado that sucked me up, spun me around, and spit me out 6 pounds heavier. Although my holidays were wonderful (hence the 6 pounds I gleefully put on) I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of things so I’ll be posting more soon. How were your holidays?!

Until next time,
