Johnathan The Dragon {Utah Baby Photographer}

I first saw these crocheted dragon get-ups on Etsy and I fell in love with it instantly.  Michael's cousin Rikki was so amazing and knew how I lacked in the crocheting/knitting talent department and made this outfit for Johnathan.  I couldn't think of a better way to document our little guy at just over a month old than this...I look forward to using them as ammo one day when he brings a girl home :)

Michael + Marissa {Utah Wedding Photographer}

Marissa is one of those girls with an absolutely infectious optimism and laugh.  And you can tell Michael adores her for it.  Photographing this gorgeous couple was exactly the right way to come back from my maternity induced photography hiatus.  Can't wait until the wedding in May!

Baby J {Utah Baby Photographer}

On January 10th we welcomed our beautiful son, Johnathan James Nelson, into our family.  He is such a sweetheart and quite the cutie in my opinion ::wink::  Of course we had to share his loveliness with all of our family and friends so here is a look at the quick mini session and announcement I put together for him.  Welcome to the world little guy, we already adore you so much!

Nelson Maternities {Utah Maternity Photographer}

One of the perks of being a photographer is you can document your own life quite beautifully.  However, funny thing...when you are the one behind the camera, getting pictures of yourself can be quite tricky.  So how did I accomplish such magic?  My amazingly beautiful and supportive best friend/human tripod, Amy.  She patiently bit her tongue and helped me as I coached her through the angles I wanted, stole the camera and adjusted the settings and would say things like "ok now try to get a little higher and little further behind me".  Let's just say it's a good thing she's my best friend because anyone else would have just said "use your tripod and stop being so picky!!"  So here's to you Amy!

The Bishop's Christmas Came Early {Utah Family Photographer}

Mark and Kristin are one of the most awesome couples we know.  There's a funny backstory to these two that basically involves my husband working with both of them at two different jobs and then pushing Kristin to date Mark.  Long story short these two love birds have now been married for a while and are expecting their first baby! They wanted to announce it to their friends and family via their Christmas card, so we did a mini session and I designed an announcement to help them share their amazing news.  Congratulations you two!!

The Archibalds {Utah Family Photographer}

The Archibald family was an absolute blast to work with.  They are one of those families that you just feel a part of immediately.  They radiated love and laughter.
