One of my favorite parts of being an in-home newborn photographer, is my tired new mothers get to enjoy their own homes and space while I work with baby!

As a mother of four beautiful children and one among the Utah newborn photographers, I know how hard those first weeks can be and how I can best serve my new mommas out there. Instead of making you get up and out of your house to have your newborn’s photos taken, I come straight to you!!!

Me and Jacci… we go way back. We were best friends back in high school and we ended up marrying brothers. Then we both ended up divorcing…

Little Brayleigh is the sweetest little 2 month old baby. She has the most amazing mother who spends so much time just wanting to make sure she’s happy and comfortable. When Brayleigh struggles and cries, Lara gently bounces her while whispering “shhhhh” in her ear and it calms the cries and comforts Brayleigh. Lara was […]
