( Mar 21st, 2011 11:37 am)I just absolutely love the canvas background that you use for the family shots, everytime I see it I just savor over it! Can’t beleive you painted that yourself! start selling them, and I will be your first customer to buy it, or if you ever get bored of it, I’ll buy it from you Oh, that close-up. With the beads- that’s art. Cute! ( Mar 20th, 2011 4:05 am)There’s the hat I’ve been looking for!!!! In the black and white pic.. What is it called and/or can you tell me where you got it?!!!

Finn, Nora & family
So Ian emailed me a few months ago saying he wanted to surprise his wife for her birthday, by flying their family out from Florida for some family pictures! Is that not the cutest surprise EVER? He gave her a map to Utah to open on her birthday and that is how he told her. Talk about a little pressure. And of course the day they came in, was sooooooooo freaking cold and dark outside we didn’t get to shoot long outside. Luckily little Nora was so awesome and smiled for the whole session! These guys were so much fun to shoot and glad their little kiddo’s got to see snow for the first time:) Enjoy!
| Beautiful family, beautiful work! ( Nov 23rd, 2010 2:55 am)Wow – look at the eyes on those beautiful babies! ( Nov 22nd, 2010 5:55 pm)These shots are fantastic. The parents sure have great fashion sense for their kids. Their kids must be amazingly well-behaved, for the son to wear a blazer without complaint and for the lil one to wear a headband and not try to take it off. Great family to work with, I bet! Gorgeous work as always…love them all!!! Where did you find the backdrop used for the family photo? Denny? Which one? I have been having such a hard time finding a neutral backdrop in browns that I “love” and I love this one but can’t seem to find it. Help! ( Nov 18th, 2010 2:21 pm)WOW, the pictures couldn’t be any more Beautiful!! You’re right Amanda, the one of Finn & Nora together is absolutely precious! SO BEAUTIFUL!! Each and every shot is just amazing. Such beautiful kids! Wow! ( Nov 17th, 2010 1:53 am)Well, I guess I get credit for planning the trip but Katie and Dan get all the credit for making it a success. Great job you two! It was truly worth it!!! ( Nov 16th, 2010 9:58 pm)Why I am getting all emotional looking at these pictures!! I LOVE these!! What a GREAT husband Ian is!! Amanda and Ian are what make Banner Boutique so fun!! Thanks for doing such an AMAZING job on their pictures!! You guys ROCK!!! ( Nov 16th, 2010 8:54 pm)Thank you so much, Katie and Dan. I just love these and I can’t say how grateful we are. That picture of my two sweet babies together is priceless! It was an amazing experience and you two are phenomenal. Nora was a terror on the flights home, but it was all worth it. I’d do it again in a heartbeat! ( Nov 16th, 2010 3:31 pm)OK… I have to admit that when the kids told us they were going to Utah for a photo shoot, I couldn’t help but wonder (and hold my tongue), “Utah? What’s wrong with the photographers we have in Florida? Why go all the way to Utah for…photos???” BUT, after seeing these, I can understand what Amanda was talking about. They are amazing, as are all the ones below them. They had a great time on their little “photo vacation”. Finn got to see snow for the 1st time. Ian was sweet to plan all this out. What a great son-in-law! What a sweet family! What a proud Nani. ( Nov 16th, 2010 2:25 pm)How sweet is that guy?! What a gorgeous family! ( Nov 16th, 2010 12:46 pm)What a guy to do this for his wife…and family! So many shots are great, but the one with Mom and daughter second row from bottom is beautiful and touching! Almost brought tears to my eyes….something so innocent and pure about it. Hope you enjoyed your trip, and amazing photos as usual. I am one of the many who look forward to each new posting and it’s usually one of the highlights of my day when I see something new! What a gift ( Nov 16th, 2010 9:15 am) |

( Oct 29th, 2010 6:19 pm)yes Maam ( Oct 29th, 2010 6:22 am)BTW… Is there a chance you could white out Mason’s “orange” shoe lace and send me the pictures??? Let me know! Thanks girl! ( Oct 28th, 2010 9:36 pm)Ahhh….. I’m speechless. You guys did an AMAZING job… as usual. It was fun getting to know you, your husband and your sweet baby! Thanks again! Loves…..

Quinn just sent me an email telling me she has been checking the blog every day for her pictures. I only post a quarter of the sessions we shoot, I just don’t have time to blog everyone, but when someone tells me they have been checking the blog every day, I gotta post! Enjoy:)
| The Mom does love them! Thank you Katie and Dan! ( Sep 13th, 2010 2:48 am)What a cute family!! So glad we can be so far behind together. ( Sep 12th, 2010 7:04 am)Yes I love them. The little boy has the cutest dimples. So glad you did, they are beautiful!!! She should be thrilled! ( Sep 11th, 2010 7:42 pm) |


























































































Curious where the tutorial is for the fabric on frames!
Thank you, great work!
( Oct 10th, 2012 7:08 pm)Ive been wanting to figure out a way to put wallpaper up for a backdrop but can’t figure out how to do it?? Someone suggested gator board, but that is really expensive. Do you mind sharing how you did it?? Btw I now have all of my fabrics on frames like you showed in your tutorial…you seriously have made my life so much easier. I can’t thank you enough for sharing that! You are amazing!!! Thank u, thank u!!!!
( Jan 7th, 2012 6:05 pm)I have had a lot of my friends ask where I bought the cute poncho my baby is wearing.I got them from Little Warrior, My Favorite!! The clothes are all super soft and good quality besides being fun and unique. The owner, Mitra, is great to work with too:) I can’t wait to see what she comes up with for summer!
( Jan 7th, 2012 6:43 am)I can’t believe I didn’t mention how cute these outfits are too! I would never know how to coordinate the outfits, suspenders and combining the formal with the casual. What talent! Where did she get those tutus!?!
( Jan 6th, 2012 5:14 pm)These pictures are amazing!!! You are such a talented photographer, I really wish you could do our family pictures! A friend of mine came and had you do her family pictures and they had a fabulous experience! You’ve got talent!!!
( Jan 6th, 2012 4:53 pm)THANKS LADIES!!! I really appreciate all the flattering comments! You are all seriously too sweet. I think I will come back to this post when ever I am having a bad day:) So first I have to tell you I bought the cute headbands from Cozette Couture. I was thrilled to find out she has a Kiosk in the lower level of south town mall. Suzette the owner is such a sweetie and so great to work with if you want anything custom. I bought my pants from blend in Utah County, my new favorite store! My husband worked hard on the backgrounds:)(thanks babe) I don’t know how he did it, but he figured out a way to make the wallpaper backdrop portable. Katie and Dan are both so great to work with! We just love them!! With some of my kids getting older these pictures were so important to me and I wouldn’t have had them taken by anyone else. Thanks Katie and Dan! You will never know how much these pictures mean to me.
( Jan 1st, 2012 1:45 am)coolest family EVER! Best photos EVER! This is what photos look like when all the stars in the universe align! Wonderful Work!
( Jan 1st, 2012 12:42 am)OMG!!! Ok seriously, I have never seen anything like this! So, how big is your studio to have all these props? I love that red sled! Where did you find it? I love those southwestern style outfits! Sorry for the 20 questions but where can I find all those cute headbands & hats? love love love everything!
( Dec 31st, 2011 6:52 am)WOW WOW! This is the best family session I have ever seen!!! So they brought the wallpaper and you wallpapered an extra wall just for this session? Their clothing is amazing. A family/mom has to have this style to begin with! It is not something you can “get” a family to do for a session if the style is not there in the first place! I just love it!!!!
( Dec 28th, 2011 6:45 pm)I really- really wish I knew how to get my clients out of dull dark/neutral clothing and into fresh, colorful, fun clothing! I don’t think people understand the concept of layering:)
( Dec 28th, 2011 6:34 pm)Hi Sally- They brought it, but they got the wallpaper from anthropologie.
( Dec 27th, 2011 4:59 am)Where did you get that amazing tree fabric!? I love it!
( Dec 26th, 2011 6:07 pm)What amazing pictures.. Love them all .. What a great looking family… You rocked this shoot..:0)
( Dec 26th, 2011 5:11 pm)This family is super cool!
( Dec 26th, 2011 12:30 pm)You rocked this photo shoot Kate! Love everything about it
( Dec 26th, 2011 3:19 am)Ok.Officially obsessing over this family. Where the heck do you get that kind of style. I must find those pants that the mom is wearing. These are Genius. Absolutely genius down to every last detail. You guys make a killer team!!
