Baby Wren & Company - St. George Utah Family Photographer

This little family, well I can't really say little, we're talking seven kids here, this big, little family was an absolute joy to photograph. I was a little nervous about doing a newborn along with 6 siblings, any one would imagine it would be pure chaos, right?  The amazing thing, it wasn't.  This family is incredible.  Dad, Stu and Mom, Danielle have got to be the most patient and calm people on the planet.  We did the shoot in their home on an early morning before school, and I was in awe that Danielle had 7 children ready and looking adorable and looked fantastic herself and was calm and collected before it was even time for school!  She is incredible, no wonder she has seven kids, she makes it look easy!   The kiddos were all so much fun and so well behaved.  Of course we had our toddler meltdowns, but that is normal no matter what!  Really, they were amazing.  I left feeling like I was a pretty big loser, thinking of how often I get impatient with my 3 kids, feeling inspired to be a better mom, and seriously thinking I need to be more like Danielle!  Not that I'll be having seven kids, but her patience was endless and that is such an admirable trait, especially for family pictures!  Anyway, it was great, and I'm excited to share some favorites!


I absolutely adore this shot of all 7 kids!  What a darling bunch they are!




Grandma got to be there for a picture!

I adore these sister shots!







Wren wasn't super thrilled about me trying to get her to go to sleep and pose her, she just wanted to be in her Momma's arms!
I love this shot of her gazing at her beautiful Momma!

Then she was happy and went right to sleep!


Thank you Stu and Danielle, you guys have the most incredible family and I loved getting to know them!  You guys are seriously amazing!

Tommy - St. George Utah Children's Photographer

Look who's 5!  Seriously, this kid is the cutest.  I was telling his Mom and Dad today, after finishing his pictures, "he is beautiful!"  I don't call very many boys beautiful, but he is a beautiful boy!  Every time I do his pictures, (lucky for me, he has been one of my "practice models" and continues to be a regular for me - I am so lucky I have such beautiful friends with such beautiful children!) I just sit and adore his beautiful eyes!  Seriously, his eyes are amazing.  He's going to be a heart breaker for sure!






These shots were so fun, he loves his firetruck and so he was having a great time stacking blocks on his truck!  I love how they turned out!







Thank you Joe and Julianne for having such beautiful kids and sharing them with me!

I was so happy to have another opportunity to photograph a newborn and especially during Christmas time! She made a perfect little stocking stuffer. Here are some of my favorites...


Mom, Kelsey, is so beautiful and photogenic, I love how these shots of her her turned out.  Wish I could ever look this great with a newborn and my hair in a ponytail!  Seriously gorgeous girls!


I love these mistletoe shots!








Love this little smile.  I was just trying to have momma comfort her a little and she gave this perfect little smile with Mom's hand on her, love!

Thank you Kelsey and Andrew, you guys were so great and I loved meeting your little doll!
