Ron and Tracy Sitting in a Tree {Saint George, Utah Photographer}

These fabulous people were in town and we headed out for a little mini session. (Really I just wanted pics of me and MY man, and these guys agreed to help me stage the situation. ha ha ha.) It was a lot of fun and they were naturals. Thanks for a fun weekend you two!!


3 Months {Saint George, Utah Photographer}

Say hello to the smallest man in my life. For such a little guy, he sure takes up a HUGE space in my heart. He is such a sweet baby. You can feel that his little Spirit came to us straight from Heaven when he smiles. Davis, also known as Baby Babis, Little Man, and Baby, has already changed our lives for the better. We are so blessed to have him in our family and home. He was in a particularly good mood today, so we had an impromptu mini session using window light on a cloudy day. (Who's idea was that??) Despite the lack of light, I think they turned out okay. It must be the perfect subject that overtakes the technical flaws. Love you Babis!

Grandkids | Saint George, Utah Portrait Photographer



I love doing photography for MANY reasons, but one of them is I get to meet and befriend so many neat people!! I am doing a booth at a little boutique in Washington. (See this post!)The owner of the shop is the cutest lady! She wanted to do some photos of her grandkids to put in the FRAMES that another vendor at the boutique makes. So we picked a day and I headed over. It was windy, rainy, and freezing. Makes for some GREAT images right?? . . . uh . . . . . maybe not. We did the best we could and had a fun time despite the sleet and goosbumps.

Thanks you guys! It was fun meeting you. We'll have to do it again sometime and make sure the weather gets the memo!! ;)

My Cute Dad | Saint George, Utah Portrait Photographer


My Dad needed some pictures of himself and of course I was happy to oblige. Hope you like them Dad! Thanks again for letting the hubs and I get out for a night!! We really needed it.

I haven't been posting here since FOREVER ago!! So readers, if I have any readers, I'm sorry to disappoint. Stay tuned for a few more posts. I've been busy setting up my booth at a new boutique in town, photographing the opening of a new restaurant, and all of my other great clients have kind of been put on the middle burner. (Not the back, just the middle. ha ha ha.) It's time for me to get busy. Post at you again soon!!

Two More Darling Families {Moab, Utah Family Photographer}

Here is a little sneaky peaky for two more of the families I shot Thanksgiving weekend. (Only two families and the BIG group shots left! Hang in there guys!) I know I've said it before, but this family rocks. So many good pics to choose from. Once I'm done with this family, I have some cute newborn baby girl shots and an engagement session from today to get ready for their online galleries. Do you think I can finish by the end of the week? I hope so!

I've been listening to a web seminar ALL DAY today! I took a little break to shoot some engagements and then back to the computer. I've learned a TON and can hardly wait to try out all of these new ideas. Know anyone who is a Junior in High School right now?? Check back for an awesome Senior Model program I'm starting up.

Hope you are having a great end to 2009 and a fun holiday season. I am loving being with my family and SLEEPING IN. Check back again soon! Lots of fun things in store for Jenny Lynn Photography. I can hardly wait!!

Another Darling Family {Moab, Utah Family Photographer}

Christmas at our house has been so much fun. We've slept in until at least 10:00 every morning and spent the days playing with the kids and editing photos. We may be poor school teachers, but it pays off on weeks like this! I love my little family.

Here is another family I photographed Thanksgiving weekend. I cannot believe how well behaved their kiddos were! And super cute too. It was so much fun. I have three more families to do from this shoot AND the GREAT BIG group shots to go through. I promise I will get them ALL finished before school starts again! Thanks guys for a great day!

Happy Birthday! | Saint George, Utah family and child photographer

Our good friends came over for pizza the other night and we did a quick mini session for their darling little boys' first birthday. He has the cutest curly hair and beautiful blue eyes. What a heart throb! He is seriously the HAPPIEST baby you'll ever see. I don't think I've seen him upset ever! Thank you guys for a fun night! I love a little adult time!! ;)







Happy Halloween | Saint George Family and Child Photographer

We took the kiddos out for a Halloween photo shoot, along with our good friends' little boy. It was wet and muddy, but they are cute so it turned out okay! Thanks for coming with us Baby B!!







Mini-Session | Saint George, Utah Portrait Photographer







This was the greatest mini-session ever! I had originally thought I was going to have a BUNCH of sessions for a fundraiser this weekend, but it fell through. :( I did have one and I am so glad. His Mom wanted a series of black and white pics of him pulling funny faces. It was so much fun! I've never had so many "keepers" from such a short session. He was very photogenic, has the SWEETEST personality and KILLER eyes!!! Watch out mom! He is going to be a heart breaker! Thank you guys for a fun night and thank you R for being SUCH A GOOD SPORT! (Seriously! He would do ANYTHING I asked him to!) If you want to see more from this session, check out my Facebook Fan Page! And become a fan while you are there!!

Moab Utah | Family Portrait Photographer

This little family was DARLING!! They ended up being my ONLY mini session on our trip to Moab. :( But they were worth every mile of the trip!! The middle boy cracked me up. I tried every trick I know to get him to look, let alone SMILE and he wouldn't crack. When he was good and ready, he warmed up. It was totally worth the wait! He is so stinking cute. And Big brother was awesome to help. Thanks you guys for a fun afternoon!! I am working on some really fun Christmas cards for them! wink wink. Go Cowboys! I am excited to show them!







There are more samples from their session on my Facebook Fan page!!! Check them out! And if you are in need of family Christmas Cards and portraits, I know someone you could call . . . . .

Moab Trip | Utah Family Photographer

We made a trip to Moab last weekend for a few sessions. I was a little disappointed when all but one of them canceled, but it was still a fun trip and I got to do a fun little shoot with the in-laws. Thanks for a great weekend guys! (There are more pics from their session on Facebook including a super cute one with my little munchkins. If you want, go check it out!)

I did another session with another DARLING little family that I am working on so check back soon!! Also, I want to show you the AMAZING float wraps I just got of the temple! Taking pictures of them and posting them is also on my list of things to do. For now, I'm off to finish watching the dumbest movie ever with the hubs. (Year One. Never watch it.) Love you hunny!






Holy. Cow.

I have been working on a mega session from a week or so ago and I am overwhelmed with awesomeness!! I did some photos for the GCHS cheerleaders and they are amazing. I am pretty sure I was NEVER this photogenic/unakward/BEAUTIFUL in highschool. I am having a hard time deciding which ones to use because they are all great. It made me miss cheerleading just a little bit. And it made me miss being skinny A LOT! :) I'm still not finished sorting through all of these, but I wanted to show you a little bit of what I've been up to for the last few days!

There are more on facebook also!

Southern Utah Senior Portraits

Holy cow! I feel like I haven't been at this computer in ages! (I'm not sure if that's a bad thing, or a good thing. . .) Our little family has been going non-stop to squeeze whatever fun we can in before school starts. I did a few photo session while we were out of town for the past little while. They were all so much fun. It's always a challenge to shoot somewhere new and I love it.

Here's a peak at an awesome senior from Moab. Thanks so much for an amazing afternoon! You totally rocked this session Laci!! I have lots more photos on their way if my children will let me work for a little while. Ha ha ha. Enjoy this cute girl and stay tuned for more.

P.S. If you are waiting for your sneak peak, I haven't forgotten about you!!! ;)
