carrieowensphotography | Utah newborn, baby, children, senior and family photographer

hello...

and welcome to the carrieowensphotography|studio blog!

My name is Carrie and I'm an on location photographer based out of the greater Salt Lake City area.  I'm also a mother of three young ones and I use this blog to showcase sneak peeks of my shoots as well as to talk about upcoming promotions or design ideas as they relate to photography.

I love my job, photography is my passion. Capturing those fleeting moments is what I strive for, showing the real life relationships between people and getting that image that makes your heart happy everytime you see it.

Feedback is great, so please, if you see something you like, don't be shy! Comments make my day and questions are always welcome.

Thanks for stopping by!

Utah Wedding Photographer | a quick peek...

This lovely newly married couple is somewhere warm right now, but as I sit in my chilly Utah home I can't help but share one quick photo.

As soon as they get to see their photos, I'll post more here. I had a great time with the two of them and all of their family and friends on their very special day - thank you guys so much for including me!
 

Utah children's photographer | fall photos round one

I took the kids up this past week to try and get my fall photos and holiday card photos out of the way...and I think I got what I needed with only one scraped ankle and one set of tears :) Here are some of the shots from the outing:

 

my next trip with the kids will be up one of the canyons...I simply can't pass up getting my kids in the fall colors. Now I'll just have to make the time :)

back to school | Salt Lake City children's photographer

This September my youngest child went off to Kindergarten. It was bittersweet for me as I am so happy for him to go on this new adventure and also somewhat excited for me to have some time for me...but also so sad to know that my "baby" is now at a real school (not that preschool wasn't real...this is just so differnt). With back to school comes the kids backpacks full of paperwork from teachers, new homework assignments and school photo forms.

Last year (due to an error on my part probably, but one that I like to blame on my oldest) I ended up taking my son's school portraits myself. I needed to get the same little setup for him as I had for my younger ones (the ones that actualy brought their forms home). When I got the photos back from my lab and compared them to my other two I was convinced that this was going to be what I needed to do each year. So after some prompting from one of my favorite clients I put together packages for you as well.

These photo sessions are different than a regular session in that they are faster paced and take place at one location. There is no session fee for these back to school photos and you will have a handful of images to choose from in a private gallery online including color, black and white and sepia versions. All packages will include images of the same pose. Portrait CDs are available after the purchase of a package and will include all images from your gallery. Other add-ons are also available.

Call or email me for more information and to schedule your sessions now! More promotions coming soon...
