Valentine's Day Pink & Purple

Valentine’s Day. a super cheesey holiday full of lots of girly colors & hearts & glitter. I know, some of you are cringing, but (not so) secretly I love this holiday. What a wonderful excuse to bust out the hearts & giltter & hot pinks. It all sort of makes me smile. And, really, how can a bunch of adorable hearts not make you smile? So myself & some other wonderful vendors in Salt Lake City banded together in all the pink & purple glory and created a little Valentine’s Day inspiration shoot… fun for bridal showers, or a DIY wedding, or even that Valentine’s party you’ve been wanting to throw. The lovely pastries & cake are by the awesome Haley Burke. Hair & Make-Up by Janelle Ingram. And the lots of fun by all three of us :) 

So get ready to smile real big - and appreciate the girlyness. :)

Megan & Kendal :: Salt Lake City Engagements - Downtown

I am sort of really loving the timing of this adorable engagement session. The soft light, Megan’s coral shirt & sweet greys… perfect for a close-to-valentine’s day engagements session :) Plus, we got to shoot at one of my favorite spots in Salt Lake, The Rose Establishment. The subway tile & beautiful wood make for lovely coffee dates, or scrabble dates. :) Megan & Kendal love to play scrabble, so we decided this would be the perfect spot.

Of course, all good dates include a warm tasty drink. And these two happen to be hot chocolate connoisseurs(a favorite of theirs is milk chocolate & peanut butter - doesn’t that sound divine?) I also just love how they look at each other. :)

The Taylor Family :: Salt Lake City, UT 

I love taking family photos, and I love taking photos for families that I already know and love, even more. It’s such a fun window into people’s lives to spend an afternoon taking photos. Especially when there is much laughter involved. :)

Josh & Diana are some great friends who used to live in Salt Lake. They have since lived in all sorts of fun and exciting places around the world. But, they were able to sneak away from their California home and spend sometime in beautiful Utah. So taking pictures was a wonderful way to spend a little extra time with them and to get to know their gorgeous daughter a little. She cracked me up. So much personality for this little girl.

She LOVED her mamma’s make-up kit. And, you know, all fabulous girls prep for their photo shoots.

This pose was all A. She knows how to work it already.

How much do we all love that chandelier!?! Gorgeousness.

Josh & Diana wanted a “family room” feel to their shoot… I’d say this about sums it up :) Love how these feel like just a small glimpse into their daily life.
