You may recognize this sweet little face, this is Baby Peterson, a few months older than when you last saw him. His mommy brought him and a bunny into the studio for some easter portraits. we had so much fun with the bunny and easter eggs. He also got to enjoy his very first easter peep! What a funny new texture and flavor for a baby!

This is sweet little Graham Su at 4 months old. I have the pleasure of photographing this little tike 4 times over the course of his first year. We had him in as a newborn, he came in for this session at 4 months and I will get to see him again at 8 months and 1 year old. I just love doing these baby collections, I get to see how the little ones grow and change every few months. And believe me they really do change!

what a perfect little baby Asher is. He was happy and expressive and up for anything we wanted him to do for his portrait session. I can’t decide who he looks more like, his mom or dad. When his mom holds him, he looks just like her and when his dad holds him, he looks like a mini version of daddy. What do you think? Pretty cute kid right?

I am also very lucky to be photographing Asher every few months which is so much fun with such a happy and expressive baby with so much personality. And just look at those gorgeous blue eyes. Thank you so much Brooke for bringing the little guy in! I look forward to seeing Asher in a couple more months, I think we are going to do something outdoors!

This is sweet little Sawyer and she gets to come see me every few months because her mama has invested in the baby collection with sprout photo. It is so much fun for me to see her and how much she grows every couple of months. And I am so happy that her mama will be able to remember all those first year changes forever through our photography.

Thank you Sharla and Sawyer for being so so wonderful! And thanks again for the lovely set of wings you gave us for the studio! We will definitely use them!

If you would like to learn more about our baby collection, please call us at 801-244-2778. We look forward to speaking with you!

After talking to the mama of these sweet little ones on the phone, listening to her gush over their cuteness, hearing about their upcoming trip to Utah and the great ideas she had for their session, I was SO excited for this session in their beautiful home in Deer Valley, Utah. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day and a more welcoming family! From the minute I walked in the door, I felt like an old friend as we chased these little ones around to capture this precious time in their lives. I even was able to be there for them to hang out in the snow for one of the first times ever…SO cute!! It was so fun to watch them interact, each of them with such a distinct look and personality, as well as both of them basking in the adoration of not only mom and dad, but aunt and grandparents too! It was obvious these girls are very much loved, as it should be.

A big thank you to the Kercher and Belnick families for their warm welcome…I can’t wait to see you all again next year, and see how much your beautiful girls have grown!

And….we’re back to normal blogging, hooray!

I was so happy to have this sweet little one with her proud mama and daddy in the studio this past week…it’s always so fun to watch the parents so completely enamored over their baby girl (as you can see in the pictures), and so gentle (note the baby sticker on the side of her leg that neither one of them could bear to rip off of her)..I just love it. I can’t wait to watch her grow up in the next sessions I’ll have with her!

And just a little news, we have some exciting schtuff in the works for 2011, including more Out and About dates that were a big hit last year and a few other things, and we’ll keep you updated on the blog and our Sprout newsletter (sign up here!)

i had the privilege of meeting baby b while he was brand new still in the hospital and for a session in our studio…it is amazing how babies change every single day when they are that young! anyway, I loved photographing his cute little toesies (i confess, i HATE adult feet..if walking wouldn’t be so difficult, I’d say do away with them all together…but baby and kids feet, I adore! Nothing much is cuter than a brand new babies feet!) Anyway, about a week later we were lucky enough to have him visit the studio, and got a few more of his preciousness! I really do love my job, I get to snuggle newborns just long enough to get rid of my baby wants, then send them home while I get a good night’s sleep..it’s a perfect setup.

Thank you to Holly and Jeremy for having me photograph sweet baby b…he is a beautiful addition to your already beautiful family!

If you are expecting, contact us about a month before your due date so we can get you on our schedule, then we will arrange when your lil’ one decides to make their entrance!

kelli — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:00:49 +0000

after having the privilege of being there for sawyer’s birth, I was so glad when his family brought him into the studio for an official newborn session.

My first thought when I saw him was that he had changed so much already…and he was only nine days old! I was so happy to capture these first precious portraits of him, and will be so excited to watch him grow!

If you are thinking of scheduling a newborn session, the best time for these are within about the first 10 days of birth for these squishy, sleepy pictures. We’re happy to photograph them in our studio, or we can also come to you!

birth story | sprout photo

kelli — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 13:00:45 +0000

heather and I have been friends since 4th grade, forming an instant bond over four-square when she was the only one that would play with me at recess, hahaha…I have so many fun memories of us growing up together, from Indian Bread to the many H & K’s businesses that we started in her basement. (I still find it hard to believe that our fashion design business didn’t take off…we had some solid skills for sure!)

Through the years, we’ve always stayed in touch, sometimes well…sometimes not so well. But every time one of us picks up the phone to call one another, it’s like we never skipped a beat. I’m so grateful for her friendship through the years, and was so honored to be able to be a part of this beautiful experience.

Click on the “View Full Post” to see the rest of my favorites from the birth of Heather and Jeremy’s beautiful baby boy, Sawyer.

Heather had a really long labor, but was a trooper throughout!

Once she was ready to push, however, that went really quickly! One contraction and baby Sawyer was introduced to the world!

I’ve never been in a delivery room for a birth other than my own babies, so it was kinda neat to see what they did right after she had him..the washing and weighing, etc…

As daddy was getting ready to make the phone calls sharing the good news with the families, he wrote the stats as to not forget.

And mama seeing her baby and getting to hold him for the first time is just a magical moment.

Check out that tongue!

Safe in daddy’s arms…

I just love the way they’re looking at him in this image…

Welcome to the world Baby Sawyer!

baby mason part 3

logan — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 13:30:16 +0000

I can’t believe it has already been a year since Mason was born. Last year I photographed his mommy all glowing in a maternity session and a month later we photographed little newborn Mason in our Sugar House studio. He just celebrated his first birthday with a big party at Gardner Village. Now as a one year old he is such a smarty-pants! He can already say dinosaur and light among many other complex words. Thank you Rachael and Rob for having me photograph your little guy. I just love documenting all the important stages and I am already excited for our next shoot! Happy Birthday Mason!!!

I met up with the Romrell family this past week for a video session including the fabulous Aubrey of AubMarie Productions. These sessions often turn into my favorite ones, this one being no different, and I’m so excited to post the video of this session when it is ready!

We had so much fun wandering around Wheeler Farm on an absolutely beautiful night and this family was just so cute…both willing to do anything to get their little guy to laugh, and I get the feeling there’s a lot of laughing going on in their home, and that makes me smile! E was such a sweet little guy who loves sneezes, blocks, Leo the Lion and really *loves* his blankie.

Big thanks to the Romrell family…it was great to meet you, and I’ll be in touch with the rest of your gallery!

Sweet baby “E” | Sprout Photo

kelli — Wed, 26 May 2010 14:30:03 +0000

It was such a privilege having this sweet one in the studio this past week…he’s my nephew! This little guy made me an aunt for the 27th time (my dear husband comes from large family!) So glad I was able to capture him at this precious young age…he’s very much loved by his brothers and sisters and the rest of our family!

And a reminder if you’re wanting newborn portraits, they are best when done within the first ten days after being born, so call us when you know you’re expecting, and we’ll get you on the calendar, then set a firm date once your precious little one makes his/her appearance!

kelli — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 14:00:46 +0000

I can’t believe these sweet babes are one already! I first met them when they were just teeny tiny, and it’s unbelievable how much they have grown and changed! We had these little cuties here in the studio for their one year old session, and man, they *worked* me hard! Both me and their mama were sore after this session! Cid, it was great to see your cuties again and I can’t wait to capture them again and again as they grow!

This first image here is from their first session with me:

And look how big they are now!

Toward the end of our session, we gave the girls their very first cupcakes to celebrate their birthday! I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!

baby portraits | eva jolley part l | sprout photo

logan — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 14:00:59 +0000

little eva jolley came into the studio for her 1 year old portraits. she was such a little darling and had the absolute best laugh i have ever heard come from a little one. i even took video of her so i could record that laugh and i listen to it when i need a little laugh. her mother anna, was so prepared for the shoot with the exact type of clothes and props i love to shoot. i advise parents to bring items that are simple and personal like a special blanket made by grandma or an antique rattle that belonged to mom as a baby. eva’s dresses were family heirlooms, worn by several generations of the women in anna’s family. the little neclace was even an antique passed down. i just loved the little white dress, so simple and so fresh. Also, the super sweet leg warmers were hand knitted by eva’s mom anna. i loved them so much that i have made sure to have her make several pairs for the studio.

eva was totally into her apple during the session, she just wasn’t interested in anything else besides her shiny red apple. we didn’t mind, it made for some great shots. now i know that i said eva came in for 1 year old portraits… check back in for part ll of eva’s birthday shoot. we had some fun with a birthday cake!

last summer i was so lucky to photograph the wedding of zach and tiffany up in jackson hole, wyoming. i met their brother and sister in-law and their sweet little baby girl, haven. fast forward a few months later and i received a phone call from haven’s mother wanting to come in for a portrait session. i am always so excited when a friend/client relationship leads to another and another. it actually turns out that I have also photographed tiffany’s cousin’s children but i had no idea of the relation until i saw them at the wedding. it is such a small world!

anyways, this is haven and she is such a sweet little girl… so expressive with so much personality!

sugarhouse studio | let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!

logan — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:20:53 +0000

i just adore our sugarhouse studio, but on a day like today i am so thankful for this space! i wish i could control the weather, but unfortunately i don’t believe the technology has been invented yet. today we were supposed to have a portrait party downtown but with all of this snow, i had to have a plan b. for those who had their hearts set on outdoors downtown, we have rescheduled. but for those who are more limited by time and had to have their session today, we were able to simply shoot in our studio. this pretty little thing is named london and she is one the smiliest babies i have met in months! i won’t have today’s shoots edited until next week but i just had to post one sweet image from the day.

another bonus of the sugarhouse studio is that we are just around the corner from the soup kitchen on 1100 east! i have kept warm sipping on homemade chicken noodle soup… mmmmm.
