Whether we’re outdoors, in your home, or in my studio, I’ll take care of every detail. I’ll help you select a beautiful location, guide you on what to wear with thoughtful styling support, and gently direct you throughout the session so you’re never left wondering what to do. Many of the families I work with haven’t had professional photos taken since their wedding and that’s okay. I’ll walk you through everything.
For newborns and mothers, I provide a curated wardrobe, so there’s no need to shop for a dress or worry about what your baby will wear. I bring soft swaddles and a simple Moses basket for those timeless, cozy portraits — everything you need for beautiful, heartfelt images. From start to finish, I’ll prepare you fully. When your session day arrives, you can simply be present with your family and enjoy this fleeting season.
I’ll take care of the rest.
The Details
I’m here to capture your family in the most natural and meaningful way — with soft, beautiful light and a calm, thoughtful approach. My goal is to create timeless photographs that feel like your family: connected, real, and full of love. These are the quiet moments you’ll want to hold onto the ones you’ll look back on and treasure, remembering just how this season felt.

I. Session Planning
From the very beginning, my goal is to make everything feel as simple and easy as possible. I’ll send over a short family questionnaire to get to know you, your vision, and any special details you’d like to include. As a lifestyle newborn and family photographer who often photographs babies at home, I’ll help you plan every detail, from color palettes and wardrobe to location options that work best for your family. You’ll also get a step by step guide so you’ll know exactly what to expect. No need to overthink a thing — I’ll walk you through it all and have everything ready for you.
What to expect
II. Session Day
If it’s a newborn session, I’ll arrive at your home in the morning when the light is soft — perfect for natural, cozy newborn photos. Most other sessions take place in the early evening, but I also offer shaded locations if your little ones have an early bedtime.
Throughout your session, I’ll give you guidance so you’ll know what to do. I’ll capture a mix of classic portraits (yes, smiling at the camera!) and those sweet, in-between moments that show your family just as you are, connected, relaxed, and full of love.
III. Special Delivery
Within three weeks of your session, you’ll receive a link to your private digital gallery where you can view, download, and begin selecting your favorite images. All full sessions include a carefully curated set of 25 printed photographs, delivered straight to your home in a beautiful vintage glass box — a timeless keepsake to treasure for years to come. Your images will include a thoughtful mix of color and black and white edits. You’ll also have the option to elevate your experience with custom framing, heirloom albums, and additional print options — perfect for turning your most meaningful moments into art for your home.

Family Photography
I provide each family with style tips and preparation guide. Family sessions are perfect to capture baby milestones, pregnancy or any important family moment. I focus on capturing connection, genuine emotion and all the moments in between. Sessions take place in the comfort of your home or outdoors.
Inspired by timeless southern tradition, my vintage-style heirloom portraits capture the sweet essence and innocence of childhood. These petite, carefully crafted sessions take place in my natural light studio in South Jordan, against a simple white backdrop, focusing solely on your little one’s expressions and unique personality. Each session is designed to create a thoughtful collection of images meant to be printed and cherished — beautiful heirloom portraits created to be displayed in your home and passed down for generations.

''Iris did an amazing job with heirloom photos of our three boys!
MY PAST CLIENTS SAY...
The photos are absolutely beautiful! They are very active, wiggly boys and she captured them so well you wouldn't even guess. We are so happy and highly recommend Iris!
-The schmidt family
-Catlyn & neil
Iris was exceptional to work with, she was responsive and informative. I told her what I was looking for and sent her a couple of photos that I liked, and she couldn't have done a better job. She captured my family perfectly in our maternity shoot, aside from having two-2-year olds that were interested in anything other than taking pictures. I highly recommend Iris as she has a keen eye for beautiful moments.
Hiring Iris was 100% the best decision we made for our maternity shoot.
-THE WINDELLS
She took her time ensuring that the lighting was great for each area and was specially great keeping our 4-year-old interested in taking pictures so we could get all the shots we wanted. She was super responsive and was able to get our photos back so quickly! We highly recommend her!
Iris is phenomenal! She took newborn photos for our family and was amazing to work with her.
