As I mentioned before, last week was a huge week of shooting for me.  Just a crazy busy week but one of the bonuses of the week was hanging out with this AWESOME FAMILY!!  I love these people!! Meet Rich, Sarah, Sebastian and their little beauty Sophia!

I photographed Sophia’s newborn photos a while back which you might remember, as well as six month photos for Sebastian when he was a giant wonderful ball of love, and now it’s family photo time with both of them!

Rich and Sarah first got to know us when they came to us for engagement photos several years ago, since then we’ve just built a wonderful friendship and now our families are growing up together.  They’re amazing people with an adorable family.  Of course just about all of the family photos have Sebastian trying to escape Red Rock, but that’s ok cause even those will put a smile on their faces.  The real bonus was that I got to photograph Sophia again and she’s just a complete bundle of love.   Rich and Sarah, we love you guys and hope you enjoy this quick sneak peek.  There are lots more coming your way soon!! xoxo, Trish

Last week I also had a great time shooting our awesome friends Rachel & Ron and their adorable boys David & Daniel.  I LOVE THIS FAMILY!! Rachel & Ron are two of the absolute nicest people you’d ever meet.  And they are so patient with these boys.  Boys have soooo much energy, but these two were masters at corraling them into photo fun.  But I have to say that overall their boys are just pure sunshine.  So sweet and loving.  I just love their little persons:)

Rachel & Ron, hope you enjoy a quick sneaker peeker!! Love you both!    

This past weekend I was swamped with shoots.  But luckily one of those shoots was a maternity session for two amazing people, Nicole & Eric.  They’re expecting their first baby and I couldn’t be happier for them!! Nicole has been such an amazing friend to me for so many years, it was a complete joy to spend the morning with both of them since she’s relocated to Costa Mesa.  I sure do miss her and our girl time, but I’m so so so glad to hear she’s going to have a new baby girlfriend soon, little Kaydence.

Nicole and Eric, love you both so much and hope you enjoy this quick little sneaker peeker!! MUAH!! T   

Been a busy week, and today I photographed another awesome family!  Ashlon & Leslie are my neighbors and their son Creighton was visiting for the weekend, so they thought it was a great opportunity for a family shoot.  I agreed, so we made it happen!  And luckily we still got some awesome fall color and tall grasses before the cold takes it all away.

Their kids are adorable!  And let me say this, without Creighton’s help today, I’m not sure I would have gotten all the cool captures of the twins.  He and Leslie were working super hard to get these two to cooperate and participate.  And I think the results are pretty wonderful!

Ashlon & Leslie, thanks for rallying and getting everyone going so early.  And hope you enjoy this quick sneak peek!!  xoxo, Trish

Today was a really fun day shooting Steve & Annette Blankenship and their absolutely adorable son, Oliver.

Kind of a funny story; basically Oliver & Giada, my daughter, have become best friends.  Annette & I were in the same birthing class at the hospital prior to the birth of our children.  I had to leave the class early cause of some work/moving/family issues, and she looked me up on facebook.  And since then, we’ve become really great friends as well as “mom sounding boards” for each other.  She and her husband Steve are just wonderful people and we’re so excited to have Giada grow up with Ollie.  He’s just got the most beautiful, sweet spirit and a constant smile.  Just love, love, love this little boy!

Anyway, today was their first professional shoot, so I really wanted to do a great job.  Hopefully everyone will love these photos cause there were so many great ones that it was tough to choose what to blog:).  Annette & Steve, we love you guys!! Enjoy the sneak peek of your adorable, beautiful baby!    

About a week ago Todd & Patricia came to visit us from NYC with their little boy Damien.  We’ve photographed them a few times through the years and they’ve become amazing friends.   We had such a fun visit until everyone got sick!! That part of it was no fun at all.  Luckily they were finally able to catch a plane back to New York after being sick for the last three days of their trip and it was such a relief.  Giada had the sickness and they it just sort of traveled around our families.  Another parenting lesson learned!

Well, half way through their trip, they decided it would be a great day to do photos.  So we went out to the old train yard, which was pretty crazy exciting for Damien!  He was a little jumping bean! and of course he just didn’t want to be still, which we all totally understood–it’s just part of the awesome excitement of being a kid.  So we shifted gears and went for some seriously fun editorial shooting.  And I was reminded of how it is to be a mom.  Often times you’re taking photos of whatever you can but likely take very few photos of yourself with your husband or baby.  So, I thought, let’s just focus on what makes this family wonderful.  And it was magic:).

Todd & Patricia & Damien, we love you guys!! Thank you so much for visiting.  We miss you already and wish you’d just move here and be our neighbors.  Hope you enjoy a quick sneak peek and sending love and hugs from Utah! xoxo, Trish & Jared & Giada  

Last weekend I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Amie & Wayne and their little bundle of love, Xavier!

Boy I wish this kid would smile more!:):)LOL!  He’s obviously so far beyond loved it’s just pure magic to be around him.  He’s so sweet and adorable, the entire time I was shooting him I just wanted to hug him and kiss his little cheekies!!  And I also love seeing his mommy and daddy cause we were pregnant at the same time so we always have such a great time catching up.  Just love this beautiful little family:)

Ok Amie & Wayne…get ready for cuteness overload!!! I seriously could have put like 40 photos into this blog post!! Muah! Trish

Well Diana finally had her baby after working so hard to get to full term!  But she didn’t quite make it and boom! Little Keanu is here!!  And he is ADORABLE!! But he really really really didn’t want to sleep…it was just too exciting for a little guy at 5 days old!

As I was going through the images I actually even texted Diana to let her know how cute this baby is.  He’s got a very sweet demeanor and seemed pretty entertained by his older brother during the shoot who kept photobombing us, but that actually just added to the phone.  Diana & Jason, I wish you both so much happiness with this gorgeous baby!! I hope you enjoy this quick sneak peek cause there are tons more images coming your way!! Much love, Trish
