Sister Company {Utah Photographer}

I recently discovered a LOVE for fitness/body building/physique photography and I can't walk away from that.  The fitness photography style I have is SO incredibly different from my Maganda Studios photography and because of that, I have decided to open a sister company that will specialize in fitness photography.  That business is called Pro-Fit Photography (short for professional fitness photography).  It is more edgy and dramatic and I'm so thrilled to be launching that!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me so far!  Your business and support is priceless to me!  I hope to work with you in the future.  If you have time, please take a moment to share my businesses with your friends and family.

BC Bodybuilding / Physique / Fitness Photo Shoot {SLC, Utah Photographer}

A bodybuilding / physique / fitness shoot is something so different from what I normally shoot but I absolutely love it.  I understand how much work goes into bodybuilding and have SO much respect for those reaching their fitness goals.  There is no "easy fix" to getting in shape.  Believe me, I've looked.  :)  This takes a lot of time, dedication and a LOT of work.

I want to introduce you to my client, Brandon. At the time of this shoot he was only a few weeks away from his first all natural body building competition.  He has worked day in and day out for months to lean down, build muscle mass and create his best self.  I am so thrilled and honored that he asked me to document this moment in his life.  Here are just a few of the images from his shoot:

If you are interested in booking your own bodybuilding / physique / fitness shoot, please contact me.  I would love to work with you!  And to Brandon, I wish you the very best at your upcoming competition!  I can't wait to hear how well you did!

Evolving Workshop with Abbey Kyhl

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Evolving Workshop by Abbey Kyhl.  In a few words, it was life changing!

I learned so much from that workshop and I know it will improve my business as well as myself!  From the yummy food, vast amounts of information, fun giveaways and then to the beautiful shoot, this workshop was an amazing experience!

Abbey is truly incredible!  Not only does she know how to do her job well, but she is so personable and truly a pleasure to be around!  I noticed during the workshop how her she interacted with her past brides and grooms.  You can tell she invested so much time, energy and love into these couples.  How can you tell?  Well her clients just seemed at ease and they lit up when they were around her.  It was fascinating to watch!

This workshop was a couple of days full of "A-ha" moments and it has given me tools to better serve you, my amazing clients!  I am beyond thrilled to start implementing these changes! I think you'll be excited to see where we go from here.

If you are looking to improve your business or maybe your just starting out, I highly recommend this workshop!  You will receive so much information that will propel you forward so that your business will explode.  I am extremely grateful to Abbey for her generosity in sharing her knowledge.

I am so excited to work with you all, to help capture such special moments of time in a beautiful portrait!  Email me today, I would love to work with you!

Nevaeh 1 year old session - Utah Child Photographer

Words just can't describe how adorable this little girl is!  She was all smiles and we had a blast for this special 1 year birthday shoot and cake smash.  I LOVE working with children!!

 

Happy Birthday beautiful Nevaeh!

Mama Kelly - Utah Maternity Photographer

I had the pleasure of shooting with the glowing mama to be, Kelly.  She is such a stunning mama and they were expecting their first girl.  The brothers are so excited!

I loved this part of the session.  Mama asked for some tummy pictures in black and white with her boys.  They tried making a heart with their hands and then they took turns giving baby some loves.  It melted me!

A little different edit with their sultry expressions.

Seriously, she could be a model, right?

Even though it's not clear, the men in this mama's life are all in the background and I just love how this turned out!

And how can you not have a kissing picture?  I love that daddy pulled up his shirt too.  :)  LOL!
