Utah + In-Home Newborn Session

This family was the absolute sweetest! It was such an honor to document their newest addition, in their beautiful home. Little Bode was such an angel for his session. I adore in-home newborn sessions, and they are even better at home! It relieves so much stress for the new mom. During this session, big sister needed a little break and it was so easy for her to take few minutes downstairs and have a snack. There’s no rushing to get everyone ready and in the car, so you can get to your session on time.

In-Home Newborn Session | Baby Charlotte

Baby Charlotte is my newest niece and and I have been looking forward to doin an in-home newborn session with her! This day was the first time I met her, she was just 8 days old. She is the sweetest little thing! The whole family is clearly obsessed with her, but watching her siblings with her was my favorite. They just adore her! She will be well watched over, protected and spoiled by them. There is already such a special sibling bond between them all. I’m excited to see her personality develop and I can’t wait to get her in front of my camera again! Welcome to the family baby Charlotte!

The Pink Square

I recently got a special package in the mail. If you knew my mom, you know she crocheted a ton! I wish I had a count of how many of these blankets she crocheted for baby gifts. Before she passed away, she was working on this blue one for a future grand baby. She wasn’t able to finish it. Her twin sister offered to finish the blanket and she crocheted the most perfect pink square where my mom left off. I will treasure it forever and ever.

If you have a blanket my mom crocheted, will you send me a picture of it? You can email them to madison.jj@hotmail.com or post on social media and tag me.

Haylee + Lifestyle Newborn Session

I’m so grateful I was able to photograph the Baumgartner family and their newest addition, Haylee. They were referred by another client of mine and it seriously means the world when you guys refer me to your friends and family, so thank you! Julie and Lincoln are both originally from Utah, Julie from Mount Pleasant (small town girl) and Lincoln from Kaysville. This session was two days ago during the crazy snow storm we got here in Salt Lake City. Traveling to the studio was a little nerve wracking and slow, so I’m grateful we all arrived safely. Thanks to this family for braving the crazy weather! This session went so well! The studio we shot at had limited availability that day, so our time together was shorter than I prefer. We got so many great shots though, it made my job of narrowing them down difficult. The star of the session was obviously sweet Haylee. She arrived 3 weeks early, so even during her session at 4 weeks old she was the tiniest little thing! Her older sister Payton is 5 years old and in preschool. She was a little shy at first, but it wasn’t long before she was running around and showing off her energetic personality. She was so sweet with her baby sister, they were melting my heart! Lincoln is the cutest dad to his little girls. Even though adding another child is challenging, he said he was enjoying the extra time home with his family. I could tell Payton was loving having dad around more too. While Julie was feeding the baby, I had fun capturing them playing and interacting. And beautiful Julie. She was so relaxed and easy going during the whole process. If she is sleep deprived, she hides it well. She is just gorgeous! Thanks Baumgartner family and congratulations on the new babe!
