Gines Birth Story | Ogden Utah Birth Story Photographer Jenna is a dear friend of ours at Kylee Ann Studios! Kylee got to photograph her first birth. Rachel photographed her second birth. Finally I got to photograph her third birth. It was such a special experience. She progressed really quickly and luckily I was hanging […]

I’m one of those weirdos that actually LOVES being in the hospital. Seriously, I missed it the second I got home, and wanted to go back. I love having one-on-one time with my newest little babe. I love being able to lay in bed all day with a nakey baby on my chest and not […]

Rowen Bruce Maughan was born on November 26th at 11:53pm. It was a Sunday afternoon. I was sitting on the couch watching a cheesy Hallmark when labor(?) started. My contractions didn’t hurt but they lasted a minute and came every 3-5. I started timing them. Three hours later they were still consistent and uncomfortable so […]

Oh what a beautiful morning it was hanging out with the Cascios last Saturday. It was truly an honor watching these two work together to bring their SIXTH baby into this world with so much love and grace. Completely natural, absolutely beautiful. ❤ I love this sweet momma, and her incredible example of rockin motherhood and […]

Wowza, my sister in law is my hero. On Monday morning she went in for her 39 week check up and didn’t leave. Due to high blood pressure, she had to be monitored and induced. It was a LONG day of excruciating headaches, puking, hunger and pain. At 4pm they started her IV of magnesium. […]

Oh my heart. Yesterday was a beautiful, perfect day. I woke up at 6:00, looked at my phone and saw texts from my sister keeping me up to date on the entire night. Labor started at 1. Contractions got consistently painful by 3. They left for the hospital at 5. AHH! Freaking out, I jumped […]

Oh how I love these cousins of mine. Steph and I were “best cousins” growing up. We had the best of times playing on our grandparent’s farm, inventing the Island of Kapoopoo, doing all sorts of country life things in their little town (Grace, Idaho) and have hundreds of incredible memories. We played games –school, town, war, […]

What a crazy birth story. Jenna messaged me a few months ago to book her birth, but we didn’t book the date because I knew I would be in Washington over her due date. Last Tuesday she posted on Facebook to get suggestions for a different birth photographer since I would be out of town. Hours […]

Jason and Shandi were so excited to welcome their sweet baby into the world on Independence Day. Jason was insistent on the 4th of July so the baby could have fireworks on his birthday every year. It took a bit of convincing and scheduling to get the doctors and nurses on board with waiting one […]

Remember that beautiful surrogate birth story from January? Well, right after I got home from the birth, they scheduled another session for the next day. I love fresh 48 sessions. Their birth story was full of so many emotions and priceless memories, but a lot of commotion. This fresh 48 session was much calmer and […]

Remember that AMAZING Surrogate Birth Story?! Well, after their birth story they decided to preserve these memories forever. They ordered two flush mount albums. These beautiful light blue linen albums are full of beautiful memories from that emotional special day! One for them. One for their surrogate mother. I wish everyone in the world could have an […]

Brennan and Austin arrived at Logan Regional hospital around 10:40 AM to prepare for the delivery of their baby girl. The nurses got B gowned up and Austin scrubbed up. They started Brennan on fluid and connected her to all the monitors. I showed up just after 11. We spent the next two hours chatting […]
