On the 3rd day of Christams (in July)...

August dates are gone. Mini sessions are still available, BUT today's giveaway is fabulous...an EXTRA 5 (yes, FIVE) digital files with your full custom session. That gives you a total of 10 digital files with the rights to reprint, plus ALL of your images in a low res copy as well. I must be crazy since that means you probably won't be upgrading to a package, BUT, I'm feeling generous. I had a wonderful weekend and I'm in a fabulous mood. :)Don't forget if you are a returning client, not only do you get 10% off the session price, but you also get a $25 returning client discount! And I will leave you with a sneak peek of a recent newborn session. I ♥ it.

Sweet Baby T | Utah Newborn Photographer

Remember this beautiful maternity session? Well, I was so excited to photograph their sweet baby, T. He was such an adorable little guy, and it came so timely when earlier that week I was having mini breakdowns over being done having more kids. And baby T was such a hoot...he loved being held, but not so much being placed in anything...so I got to cuddle a little longer, which was so nice. And mom and dad were just so great and go-with-the-flow kind of people that we just got to do hang out...but we were sure to get some of the shots she wanted...like some of dad and T, because "he is so cute with him."









And I love when my clients see something I've done and want to do it for their own session. When T had had ENOUGH...mom told me that the only thing she wanted to make sure we tried for was my chair shot and luckily we got it!
Thanks you guys...hope you are enjoying that sweet little babe, and I can't wait to see him again soon...I'm guessing he's grown and changed ton already!

If you are interested in scheduling newborn shots, contact me. We schedule right around your due date to be sure and get them in before the first 10 days! My schedule is filling up quickly, but I always fit in newborns. I can't help it...I might just be addicted to them. :D

Read all about it

I just got done cleaning a portion of my house, because the thought came to my mind that I'd be mortified if something happened to me and someone had to come into my house and see this disaster. Then they'd wonder what kind of person I really am. Yeah, with four kids+holidays+six (yes SIX) cases of strep throat, it's gotten pretty out of control. Okay, so it's not likely that someone will be forced to come into my home while I am hypothetically out of commission, but still...I'm a thinker. My hubby has noted that I'm an irrational thinker sometimes, which may be true. Regardless, I think a lot.

Like last night as I was lying in bed, Mr. Taylor sound asleep next to me, and I thought to myself, "In this moment I am so happy. This spot in life is so good." And I reveled in it for another 45 minutes while I tried to fall asleep. Sweet slumber finally found me, but so did crazy dreams from days past, which woke me up and got me thinking all over again. It made me realize once again how blessed I am. In life, in love, in business. Has it always felt that way? No. But I'll keep hold of it while I can.

Because of the way my life has fallen together so far, I've learned to embrace change. Change can be a good thing. And in the new year, we often find ourselves thinking about the changes we will be making for ourselves. Right? Of course I have to think about the changes coming in my business this year, and even though some of it is scary, I'm really excited for the new opportunities that will be coming my way.

So I thought I'd tune you in on a BIG CHANGE for Joanna Taylor Photography. Something I've been keeping under wraps for some time, but am super excited to share with you!

Joanna Taylor Photography now has studio space in Salt Lake City. I'll be sharing space with some INCREDIBLE, INSPIRING photographers (and for this I feel blessed). Can I tell you who? First, the amazing, artistic Duston Todd. Next, someone with beautiful perspective, Matthew Ryan. And last, the fun-loving Sheryll Lynne, who has the most amazing style. And I have a top secret project going on with Sheryll that will be announced in February.

I have to make goals for my business, and one is to blog more, to offer more information. I'm going to start a Q&A series, so if you have any questions, please send them my way! I'm going to start showing you more products that I offer. I'm reworking pricing again...as I enter my fourth year of business I've seen some trends in my pricing and have finally started seeing where I need to be priced for the Utah market. I'm going to be focusing a lot more on weddings and newborns (so if you have friends with either of these, be sure to refer them my way! I have a great referral program!). These are all good, exciting things for me, and I'm excited to watch them unfold for a great 2010. Join me, won't you?

And since we're talking about change, something a little different from me:

Adorable | Utah Child Photographer

Oh my word, can you say adorable??

Genevieve | Utah Baby Photographer

Oh my word, do you think they come any cuter than this? Genevieve gave me a good little run for my money, but little did she know that I know some tricks and I caught her anyway. Isn't she darling?

6 months old | Utah baby photographer

This has got to be one of my favorite ages to photograph: one where they are wide-eyed and adorable, almost sitting or sitting, but not crawling away. It doesn't get much better than being six months old.

Twins | Utah Child Photographer

I had so much fun photographing these two! So much personality and so much love. I am always in awe of the secret world that twins share and I really loved getting to capture some of that. We brought little sister in for the last picture in their Easter dresses. Aren't these girls just gorgeous?
