April – Adorable and With Child

I've had some interest in seeing more of my maternity pictures, so you'll see some this week that never got posted! I first posted a few of these over a year ago! My friend April went through the photography program with me at BYU and had an adorable little munchkin that I still haven't met.

These first ones were all taken in their old apartment in Washington - they had amazing light!

Love these next ones... . I imagine every woman who's been pregnant can appreciate these camera angles!

The boat pictures are my favorite!! While driving to our next location we shouted when we spotted this row boat in the middle of a field. It was raining (as you may see), but we ran out and shot as fast as possible. It made us so happy.

April wanted something different and kind of edgy. She found this way cool location, that worked out great because it protected us from the rain (most of the time)!

April and I ran excitedly around the dirty, abandoned building like children (not that you would usually take children to such a place). It was different than many of my shoots, but it was awesome.

By this point, it was pouring, but it created a really cool reflective look on the cement outside our hiding spot. Isn't her belly the cutest?

When April went into labor I started getting text updates every now and then. I later found out that I was included on the exclusive texting list for the grandmothers - I was equally as excited!

Shay and Dan’s reception

Part 2 of Shay and Dan! It was a lovely reception. Check out these amazing centerpieces!

Cake buffet!
Enter the bride and groom!
Working last minute on the toast .
This guy much be quite the story teller!
Due to the airline mishaps my luggage didn't make it, but Jenna lives in black clothing and was able to throw some stuff together for me!
The toasts created quite a wide range of responses.
From tears...
to laughter...
to embarrassment?

More laughter.

I find these next two quite funny.

Time to decorate the car! (Dad is an organic onion farmer, hence the onions).
Everyone got involved.
Though not everyone wanted to be known.

Farewell!

Shay and Dan’s big day!

After some crazy airline mishaps and lots of stress I actually made it to Washington
much to everyone's relief! It was a little hot, but such a beautiful day, which started bright and early in the hotel rooms getting ready.

Aren't these shoes so cool?? The other one says "I Do."

Shay sneaking up for the first look .

Shay gave Dan a note that she wrote when she was a teenager to her "future husband." It was hilarious, and adorable!

All the little girls were SO darling!!

The reception is coming tomorrow!

Shay and Dan!

I just got to Utah on Thursday night from my family reunion in Minnesota and I'm back in business. I'll be showing plenty of pictures of my adorable nieces and nephews (we had 19 people in one house, including 8 children under 9), but first up, lots of pictures of my wonderful clients and friends.

I was so happy Shay trusted me with her wedding as she's a photographer herself! As are her mom AND her sister. It's a lot of pressure.

Introducing the lovely couple!
