The 10 gallery wrapped canvas portraits I donated to McKay Dee Hospial are finally up in Labor and Delivery.

They look fabulous! It was so fun to see them up. Here’s one of my with my little man…the inspiration for the images.

My baby just turned 8 months old! My how the time flies. I decided to get shome shots of him in all his “big boy baby”-ness. We took him down to SLC for some fun urban shots. I love the bright colors and different textures. This type of session would be fun for older babies, children, seniors, and even families…especially if everyone wore colorful and funky outfits.

I can’t believe how fast babies grow. I look back at the many (many, many, many) pictures I’ve taken of my little guy and am just amazed by all the changes. Right now he can sit up on his own and can stand with help. I believe it’s so important to document the stages of your baby’s development.

My hubby Troy seems to think that Ben looks like he is a midget in giant-ville in these images…I think they show how big (or little) his is and the relationship in sizes between him and his dad.

I love his silly little face in this one ^^^. Isn’t he just a riot?!

Not sure why, but this image of Ben looking away ^^^ is just so him. I love it to pieces. I also love that his little piggy’s are exposed.

Josie, another McKay newborn, is such a doll. She didn’t want to sleep at all but we finally got her to doze off for a bit. Here are some favorites:

When I was pregnant, I worried that I wouldn’t be a good mother. This fear consumed my thoughts. Even after Ben was born I still wondered if I was doing it right. I think all women/mothers think like this. Finally, when Ben was about 5 months old I had an “aha” moment where I realized I was okay. Ben had started getting sick and he had been coughing and then choking on his saliva. One time he started coughing/choking and I held him and patted his back and put my other hand in front of his mouth. He then proceeded to throw up…in my hand. At that moment all I could think about was my baby and how scared and uncomfortable he must be, I was more worried about him than about the puke in my hand. I believe that is when I realized I could do this…I could be am a mother. I’m sure all mothers come to this realization at some point.

I bring this up because today I’m sharing some images of the beautiful Kennedy. I come to a newborn session prepared for the baby to pee. Kennedy decided to poop…all over her mom. And, being the fabulous mother that she is, she just said…”Don’t worry about me, let keep shooting.” What a woman! Regardless of the poop, I think we got some fabuouls images. It was so hard to pick favorites but here are a few of mine:

When I was pregnant I didn’t really fell beautiful but looking back, and looking at other pregnant woman, I can see how beautiful a pregnant body it. I think it’s so important to document this time in your life so you and your children can look back and see the miracle of a life developing. Here are some of my favorite materniy shots of all time.

enjoy!

And here’s another McKay newborn. Kenlee was such a beautiful little princess. She even had a tutu and a flower hat…what a girl! It’s so fun to play with a little girl since I just have the little buddy boy. I still am surprised when I photograph newborns and see how tiny they are. My little guy is now 6 months old and definately not a newborn. I cherish the newborn pictures I have of him and know Kenlee’s family will feel the same way. Here are some of my favorites:

Gevin is another of my “McKay babies“. He was such a darling! Once he got some food in him he slept right through the session. I love sleeping babies! Here are some of my favorites of the little guy.

Ryan is such an adorable baby. He chose to stay awake the whole time (!!!) so any of the sleeping shots we got were just him blinking. But, at least he was easy going and relaxed. He seems like the perfect baby boy.
