goodmama | sprout photo | models needed!

Posted by logan on February 27th, 2010 — Posted in sprout news

goodmama.jpg i am so excited to be joining forces with Suzanne Atwood of goodmama cloth diapers. she has created an amazing product that is “fun, fashionable, available, responsible and sustainable!” these diapers are just so darn cute! i am so lucky to have a few in the studio for our baby portrait sessions, but i would encourage everybody who is either already cloth diapering or may be thinking of doing so to check out the goodmama website! Get your baby one or two and bring them in for photos! In fact, i would like to offer a free 5×7 to anyone who comes in for a portrait session with a goodmama brand cloth diaper and we use it in the portrait session.

right now, sprout photo and goodmama are looking for newborn models to wear the newborn goodmama cloth diapers in a private portrait shoot. please contact me (logan) for details. 801-244-2778 this will be so much fun!!!

baby portraits | haven bailey | sprout photo

Posted by logan on February 18th, 2010 — Posted in babies, in studio

Bailey09_080main.jpglast summer i was so lucky to photograph the wedding of zach and tiffany up in jackson hole, wyoming. i met their brother and sister in-law and their sweet little baby girl, haven. fast forward a few months later and i received a phone call from haven’s mother wanting to come in for a portrait session. i am always so excited when a friend/client relationship leads to another and another. it actually turns out that I have also photographed tiffany’s cousin’s children but i had no idea of the relation until i saw them at the wedding. it is such a small world!

anyways, this is haven and she is such a sweet little girl… so expressive with so much personality!

Dunn09_149.jpgi would like to invite anybody who thinks it is too late to order holiday greeting cards and portrait prints, that it most certainly is not! aren’t you relieved there is still time? it is getting close though so i would like to invite everybody who still needs portraits to give as gifts for the holidays to submit their order online or call me right away to submit your order over the phone.

it has been a very busy holiday season and i have really fallen behind with my blogging. i am so sorry for that :) so here is the post i promised a long time ago for the wheeler farm portrait party we had in october. it was a gorgeous day and the colors were vibrant! i would like to thank all of the families for coming out their fall family portraits. i had a great time with all of you! l, logan

university of utah | graham family portraits

Posted by logan on November 16th, 2009 — Posted in families, kids, on location

  Graham09_013.jpgplease meet the beautiful family of katie and john graham. i had the pleasure of photographing their family a few years ago before they moved to south africa. i know it has been a little tricky for some of my older clients from my old studio to find me since i opened sprout, so i was just thrilled when i heard the cheerful voice of katie graham on my voicemail. after traveling around the world, they have settled back in the salt lake valley and they were due for some updated family portraits. we had a wonderful late afternoon session up on the the university of utah campus where john and katie first met and fell in love. “that is the building where i realized i was in love with your father” she told her kids. hopefully we created a few more lovely memories of the campus for katie and john. thank you grahams! i just adore you! l, logan

sugarhouse studio | let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!

Posted by logan on November 14th, 2009 — Posted in babies, in studio

soup-kitchen-sugar-house-utah-photographer-7926.jpg i just adore our sugarhouse studio, but on a day like today i am so thankful for this space! i wish i could control the weather, but unfortunately i don’t believe the technology has been invented yet. today we were supposed to have a portrait party downtown but with all of this snow, i had to have a plan b. for those who had their hearts set on outdoors downtown, we have rescheduled. but for those who are more limited by time and had to have their session today, we were able to simply shoot in our studio. this pretty little thing is named london and she is one the smiliest babies i have met in months! i won’t have today’s shoots edited until next week but i just had to post one sweet image from the day.

another bonus of the sugarhouse studio is that we are just around the corner from the soup kitchen on 1100 east! i have kept warm sipping on homemade chicken noodle soup… mmmmm.

newborn portraits | bebe weissman

Posted by logan on October 9th, 2009 — Posted in babies, families, in studio

Weissman09_064.JPG this is baby weissman. this is a great example for what parents should wear to a newborn session. i prefer mom and dad to wear nice clean shirts with arms that can be rolled up. The beautiful skin tones of a new bebe stand out beautifully against the dark tones of a black button-up shirt. these are just a few of my favorites from the weissman’s new bebe portrait session.

salt lake temple | summers’ summer portraits

Posted by logan on October 8th, 2009 — Posted in families, kids, on location

temple-family-portraiture-summers_diptic.jpgi have photographed down at the salt lake lds temple too many times to count. 99% of those shoots are newly married couples fresh out of the temple. so when kimberly summers requested to photograph her family down on the temple grounds, i was really excited. it’s really fun to approach a old location with a new subject in mind. shooting a family on a weekday evening is totally different from a bride and groom on a saturday morning. we didn’t have to wait our turn for the stairs or strategically compose the family and avoid 30 people in the close vicinity. we had such a relaxing shoot and the children were just darling. the smallest is named saylor and she definitely kept us moving. thank you summers!

harrison david seibel | sleeping bebe

Posted by logan on September 11th, 2009 — Posted in babies, on location

Seibel09-138.jpg sweet sweet harrison david seibel was one week old for his first photo shoot. i love newborns when they are still super-flexible and like to be snuggled into a ball. we did the shoot in the seibel home where harrison was comfortable and we could use special items like his crib and bedding or his mother’s bedspread. They are small details that mean so much in image. who remember’s what their crib bedding looked like? i certainly don’t, but harrison will always have record of the uber-cool bedding his grandma gloria picked out for him.
