Lifestyle Newborn Session | Davis County Photographer

April 2, 2020

Lifestyle newborn sessions are some of my favorites! I love being able to snuggle a brand new baby! And I love seeing how the parents and siblings adore their new addition! I also love being able to do photos for people that I know, I am so happy when friends get to grow their family! Working with Lexie is so fun, she is the talented florist behind Carpe Diem Floral Design. I have ways been so inspired by Lexie, she is such an amazing and talented florist! I love it when I get to photograph her arrangements and bouquets. She is an all-boy mom and she is such a good mom! I love seeing all of the activities and adventures that she does with her boys! She also has the best style when it comes to dressing her kiddos and herself!

We started this lifestyle newborn session in their beautiful home in Northern Utah. When you are planning your lifestyle newborn session, I love using the parent’s bedroom, nursery, and living room. We ended their photoshoot outside near their home, it was the perfect spot to get a little variety in their lifestyle newborn session. I am so thankful Lexie and her family chose me to photograph such a special time in their life!

Here is a link to her gorgeous maternity session we did! This was also one of my favorite photo sessions!

Bonneville Salt Flats Family Photos | Salt Lake Family Photographer

May 31, 2019

Meet The Holbrook’s, I have been photographing their family since the very beginning! I started doing photos for them when their oldest was in 5th grade! He is now in college! I have loved getting to connect with them every year, their kids have grown up so fast! They are always so much fun! Over all of the years that I have done photos for them, not once have their kids dis-liked getting their photos taken, they are always full of ideas for poses and things that they want to do. When you schedule your photos, get your kids involved in the process, have them get together some ideas, and they will love the photo shoot even more!

I was so excited that we did these photos out at the Salt Flats, as soon as she called to schedule a date, I wanted to take them out of Cache Valley and out to the Bonneville Salt Flats. In the spring and late fall they are covered with an inch of water, and it made for some beautiful light and landscapes to play with. The Salt Flats take awhile to get to, but it is always worth the long drive to get this beautiful scene!

They always have the best outfits! I always look forward to their shoots, because I know that they will be beautifully matched. The neutrals that they chose were perfect, I am obsessed with the linen pants and rompers! I know outfits can always be a stressful part of family photos, two things that I tell families is to find moms outfit first, if she is happy in what she is wearing everyone else will be too! And don’t choose outfits that won’t match in your home. If you are wanting to make a big canvas for your home you won’t want it toot match, so choose colors that you will be happy to hang on your walls. When you are choosing your outfits and can’t decide, I am here for you to help you figure out what will look best! Text or email me your outfits and I will be happy to help!

Summer sessions dates are filling up fast, and I am getting so excited about how full my calendar is! If you are wanting to get on my schedule email me now to set up your appointment! jessica@jessicasphoto.com

What to Wear for your Engagement Session | Utah Photographer

March 4, 2019

I’m so glad you decided to do engagement photos before your wedding! An updated, professional photo of the two of you together is the perfect way to announce your wedding day. Engagement sessions are also great way for us to get to know each other and for you to get comfortable in front of my camera before your big day. It’s going to be so fun! Here are five tips for choosing engagement session outfits:

Class it up.

I usually have couples bring two to three outfits. I recommend at least one formal outfit and one casual outfit. The formal outfit really makes your engagement photos classy and timeless. You can do full formal for both of you, or for the bride to wear a dress and have the groom add a sports coat or nice sweater to a casual outfit. For your casual outfits, don’t choose clothes with logos, as they’re distracting in the photos. Neon and florescent colors put off weird color casts on your faces.

These photos are a great excuse to get something new for yourself. Find something you feel comfortable and confident in. I recommend something that dresses you up a little more than your everyday outfits to make these photos special. I encourage the bride to find something she loves first, and then match the groom’s outfit to what she is wearing. I love flowy dresses because they make for great movement photos and they’re flattering on everyone. If you’re pulling items from your closet, make sure they are pressed and laundered.

Don’t be too matchy.

Use coordinating colors, but don’t choose outfits that look the same. Patterns are nice, but I would try to keep them to just one of your outfits, so they don’t compete too much. Variety is good!

Choose your outfits based on the seasons.

If it looks cold outside, dress warmly so you match your environment naturally. Don’t wear short sleeves or shorts in the winter. If you’re dressed warmly with appropriate clothes and shoes, it will make fall and winter shoots look better and be more enjoyable. If it’s summery outside, dress accordingly—light colors and thinner fabrics.

Consider getting your hair and makeup done.

Hair and makeup artists will enhance your natural beauty to help you look your best and camera-ready. This is an investment you’ll be so glad you made! Here’s a list of hair and makeup artists I love to work with (in no particular order):

If you still need help with your outfits, here is a Pinterest board I’ve put together with some ideas! If you still need help deciding, I’m happy to help. Just text me some photos of what you are thinking and we’ll find a combo that will help you and your fiancé look stunning in your photos!
