She does a fantastic job! Her Christmas mini sessions are ADORABLE! We also had her take our son’s 1 year pictures, which wasn’t an easy feat. She managed to capture some really beautiful and unique photos, we were blown away! Such a talent, thank you!
Danielle Coates
I love Wendy! She is very nice and talented with her work . I came to her when I wanted to redo my newborn pictures I took with someone else because I wanted more wrapped styles. Wendy is very friendly and was willing to accommodate what I wanted to make my mommy heart happy. I couldn’t be more happy with how the pictures turned out. I highly recommend her for your newborn photos!
Caroline Quach
Booked my grandsons 1st birthday & cake smash photos with Wendy and I was not disappointed! Even though my grandson was not feeling like his usual outgoing self, Wendy was so patient and was still able to get some of the sweetest shots! I’ve received so many compliments on his pictures and definitely recommend Wendy for your photo needs!
Heather Romero
Highly recommend Wendy. She was very nice to work with. We booked her to capture our son’s newborn pictures. She was so professional, kind and so friendly. We absolutely love our images!!!
Karen Smith
Had such a great experience with Wendy and absolutely loved how all of the photos for my girl's one year cake smash turned out! Plan on doing more family photos with her in the summer!
Brittany McCarble
We booked Wendy for my little guy’s 1st birthday cake smash photos, and she did amazing! She was great to work with and had so many different options for photoshoot backdrops/props/outfits, etc.. She captured the best photos that we will cherish forever! Would definitely book again and recommend her to friends.
Braidy Falk
Not knowing when my daughter was going to be born, I panicked and reached out to Wendy to try to book a shoot. She was absolutely amazing and flexible as newborn shoots are very time sensitive. The shoot itself was very calm, warm and a great experience for my family and my new daughter. Not only was she a baby whisperer but she takes the most perfect photos! Thank you so much for this snapshot in time. Best decision ever!
Kimberley Pavao
Wendy is one of the best! We went with her bundle shoot that includes newborn, 6 months, and one year for our daughter and she did such a great job at capturing our families newest addition. She's very thorough and has everything you need to make the shoot a success. She was so patient with our daughter and is the best at getting those split second smiles. We loved working with Wendy and look forward to the next time we get the opportunity to!
Alex Rico
We drive several hours to see Wendy and she always makes it worth the trip! She has done everything from a cake smash to Christmas mini’s to our extended family session — and we are always thrilled with the pictures we receive. Highly recommend!
Marie O'Dowd
I had the absolute best experience with Wendy. She did newborn photos of my daughter, and she’s truly an artist. It takes such skill to keep a newborn calm and get them into all the adorable poses, and she’s so gentle. The fact that she had all the props and I literally just had to show up with my baby was a lifesaver!
Jenna Smith
Just book her already! You will not regret it at all. Wendy is simply amazing. She did my maternity and newborn photos and they turned out great. She has such a good eye. She’s patient and makes you feel comfortable. I see more photos in our future. Thanks Wendy!!
Julie Santa Cruz
Wendy is an AMAZING photographer! I highly recommend her for all your photos! I have used her for my continually-growing family photos (several), headshots, and graduation. They are all some of my favorite pictures! In the latest (fall 2023), she helped the babies, toddlers, and the adults smile, and our photos look wonderful! I am especially happy because with one child leaving for a church mission, this was our only chance for 18 months. She also adjusted when the planned location did not work out exactly as planned when we showed up, but the result was beautiful!
From the beginning, I appreciated her academic training in photography and she has a great understanding of what makes a unique and beautiful picture. Thank you Wendy, and you will not be disappointed if you choose her as your photographer!
Andersen family
"Wendy did an amazing job with my sons pictures, she definitely went above an beyond with details and positioning with all the photos. She was fairly priced and even sent more photos then I had asked for! I definitely recommend her for a photo shoot to anyone."
Iliana Vasquez
What I recommend about Wendy is that she takes her time to make sure the pictures come out perfect for both her and her clients. She makes sure she’s always ready for her clients to arrive. She has very beautiful backgrounds and the way she takes the photos is fabulous which makes her my favorite photographer!❤️ I highly recommend her!
Philomene
Wendy is great to work with! She is great at communicating and provides a variety of backdrops. She is patient and can make your little ones smile. We've really enjoyed working with her and will continue to do so!
Edna Castro
I am so happy with how our little boy’s newborn pictures turned out! I was a little nervous being a first time mom and taking him out for the first time but Wendy made the session stress-free for us and all we had to do was sit back and relax. She has the cutest props and outfits. She does so good handling the baby and knows how to do so many cute, poses and swaddling. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Danielle Edgington
Wendy was very accommodating at my session. I had head shots by her for my business. She was patient and went the extra mile to be sure I was happy with my photos. 10/10 will recommend and use Wendy again!
Patricia Tann
Wendy was wonderful to work with, down to the tiny details. All the pictures from my sons one year old cake smash were adorable. Exactly what I envisioned. She was also so quick to get the pictures back, which I loved. I will for sure be using her for future sessions!
Emily Dayton
Wendy is amazing! I have done multiple photoshoots with her and I always love my photos. Wendy is great to work with for customized backgrounds and even travels to beautiful locations. I would absolutely recommend her.
Dawn Kelsch
Wendy did an amazing job with my son’s 2 year old pictures. He made us truly work to get smiles from him, but she was patient and we we’re pulling out all the cards (squeaker toys, mops, lotion) to get cute pictures. She also got us in even though I decided very last minute to get pictures done. Would recommend her 100%.
Rochelle Cox
Wendy has photographed my family for the last 10 years. We hired her to take our wedding pictures 10 years ago and since then she has done multiple family sessions, mini sessions and newborn sessions for us. Wendy is more than our photographer, she’s become our friend. She’s so easy to work with and produces beautiful photos. Thank you Wendy for capturing our family year after year.
Roxanne Hayes
If y’all need a professional photographer, I recommend you go to Wendy. She’s the best photographer in Utah!
Wendy is the best photographer I've ever worked with. She is so patient, kind and gentle with her young clients. She has everything you could ever dream of for her newborn and cake smash shoots. She makes the entire process so smooth and comfortable for all. She goes above and beyond to make sure each backdrop and prop are exactly what you would like. Her turn around and process to recieve your images back is fast and easy. I am so grateful I had her as my photographer and you will be too!
Brandee
Wendy is such an amazing photographer and is amazing at what she does! I 1000000% recommend her!
She has so many cute props, outfits, and ideas and really works to make your ideas come to life! We went to her for my son's 1st birthday pictures and she was absolutely amazing with him! Definitely will be using her again in the future :)
Melissa Bird
Wendy really is amazing! She has such a good eye and knows what she is doing! She is very energetic and I love being able to show up and have her just take over a shoot! I will cherish all of my photos she has taken for years to come! I highly recommend her! 11/10!
Lynsay
Wendy is amazing at what she does! She is awesome with newborns and toddlers. We love all the props, backgrounds, outfits and bows that she has! I would highly highly recommend getting your photos done with Wendy!

Wendy is a fantastic photographer! She was so great to work with and shot in a new location for us! The photos turned out wonderful! Even with my two little ones, she was able to capture them smiling and get great photos that we will love forever! I highly recommend her! The photos are clear and sharp! Great photographer.
Emily Edman
Wendy is amazing!! I would recommend her 110%!! Our baby girl wasn’t the easiest to work with during her newborn session and she still captured the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever and ever! She has the cutest studio with the cutest props/outfits. We can’t wait for our sitter and cake smash pictures!!
Courtney Casey
Wendy is an amazing photographer, wife and mother. She has been photographing my family for years. She does awesome work with young and old. She listens to our ideas and then makes them come alive. 10 out of 10!
Cook family
Having Wendy do our newborn photos was worth every penny! It was so nice being able to just show up and have her take care of the rest. It was amazing to watch her work and it was very clear that she knew exactly what she was doing. Wendy captured the most precious pictures of our son that we'll cherish forever!
Alexandra Dey
I recommend everyone who’s looking for nothing but best quality! Y’all need to start booking Wendy. She’s an amazing person, talent lady and amazing at her work. One thing I love about her is how patient she was during my son's session when he was just three months. She just took our first mommy and son holiday! I’m in love and I love everything she does. Forget about how much she charges. Focus on the outcome of the photos! She’s so understanding and she always has great ideas even if you don’t know what to do! Don’t be shy, she has all the answers ready for you. See you soon Wendy!
Natacha
Wendy went above and beyond with her time, engery and talent. Our entire experience with Wendy was unreal! She provided all of the cute baby outfits, props and set ups. All we had to worry about was getting oursevles ready and there. She worked so well with our baby and was able to click her camera at the perfect times. You never would have guessed he was fussy almost the entire time! She even bought rainbow props for our shoot since he is our rainbow baby! We got our first family pictures with her and I am obsessed! Wendy was: flexible, creative, patient, quick to respond, easy (and fun) to work with, affordable, and we are THRILLED with the beautiful pictures she took!
Lizzy
I highly recommend Wendy. She was fabulous to work with for our newborn photo session. She does everything to make your baby happy and comfortable. Wendy has amazing attention to detail and takes the time to help your baby position every finger and toe.
Wendy also has wonderful creative vision and will work with you to create the perfect portrait. She will work with you to select the perfect props and colors to achieve the look you want.
Her photos are an investment to capture a moment you will cherish forever. I will definitely be booking Wendy for future portraits of my little one. ♥️
Aysa
Wendy is very professional, so patient and dedicated to her work. We had a wonderful time, and her attention to detail makes her photographs something to cherish dearly. I can't recommend her enough!
Gabe
Wendy is the absolute best. She is so creative with backdrops and props for each photoshoot. Her studio is amazing, clean, and comfortable. She is so communicative before, during, and after the session. She was so patient with my little guy and always captures the best candid shots. I am never worried about getting good photos after a session even if my baby didn't seem to be cooperating.
She is an editing wizard and makes it very difficult to narrow down favorites.
I refer EVERYONE and ANYONE to her!!! Thanks again Wendy.
See you for our next photo session!
Breanna
Words can’t express how grateful I am to have found Wendy! She is so skilled in her craft and so thoughtful of those she works with. Especially the little babies! Her studio is beautiful and you can clearly see she is invested in her art. Take this photo for example, she caught such a perfect moment of my baby ♥️
Jazmyn
Wendy did such an amazing job on our photos. They turned out so beautiful and the quality of them are amazing! Not only that, but she took such sweet and gentle care of our girl. I am all around so pleased with the experience and product!
Madelaine
Wendy went above and beyond our expectations. ❤️
Her photography studio is cozy and full of beautiful props that she passionately creates. Our three week old was a little tricky and wouldn’t sleep but she still managed to capture beautiful moments that we will cherish forever!
Ashley
Wendy is absolutely amazing! My family is anything but easy to photograph with a severely special needs son that likes to hide whenever there is a camera in sight. She always goes way above and beyond to get that perfect shot. This last time when looking at our proofs we noticed that while one picture wasn’t the best of our family, it was the best picture ever of said son. She managed to turn it into an individual shot that I am so happy to have! I would, and have, recommend her to all my family and friends!
Melody Terry
Wendy does beautiful work! She is very talented and has an artistic eye. I definitely would recommend her!
Alyson
We hired Wendy because she has a lot of experience working with big groups. We were doing extended family photos and we had limited time, so we needed a professional that knew what they were doing. She was awesome. She was quick and efficient but also very precise and made sure she got all the shots we wanted. She handled our group perfectly. We had all age ranges and she brought out the best smiles in all of us, from the babies on up to the cranky adults ha ha. We have one member of our family who is living overseas and she worked out a plan to be able to Photoshop her in seamlessly. She did such a good job that anyone who wasn’t there can’t even tell. She has an eye for lighting and background composition and our picture turned out so well. She was fantastic to work with and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Amanda Shaw
Wendy is absolutely amazing, and can I say SO patient! My little babe did not make it easy on Wendy whatsoever, but she really went above and beyond to get us amazing shots! I can't recommend her enough for all of your photography needs!
Cierra
I can’t say enough about how amazing Wendy is!
I have been using her as my photographer for 10 years now. My daughter was 6 months old when I found Wendy and boy was my she a hard one to crack a smile, but Wendy made it happen! Now all three of my kids and my husband are difficult, but she gets them to smile and captures their personalities perfectly!
I have had Wendy do many, many photo shoots. From family pictures, extened familiy pictures, newborn sessions for both of my boys, milestone portraits, cake smashes, Halloween minis, Christmas pictures and my wedding pictures!
Wendy has all sorts of fun ideas, beautiful locations that she is willing to travel to, great prices and is very patient!
We love Wendy and recommend her to everyone!
Shawna Duvall
We absolutely love using Wendy for our newborn photos! She does such a great job and is super easy to work with! We also have done an extended family shoot and she did an amazing job as well!
Jessie Horman
I have known Wendy personally for several years, and always knew she was a photographer. What I did not realize is that she isn't just any photographer - she is an AMAZING photographer. I happened to be at an event where she was the photographer and she was knowledgeable, professional and courteous to the client. Because of this, I decided to have some headshots done and asked Wendy for her help. Her services are priced very low for the quality I received. She spent time making sure that I was not only getting several choices, but making sure I was comfortable, natural and that my personality shined through in each photo. She had proofs back to me in record time and even had them all edited and ready to go extremely quickly.
I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone and can't wait to use her for our family photography in the future.
Brittany
Wendy did an amazing job with our newborn pictures. She had so many setups and color options. She was able to capture the sweet newborn moments we wanted, and we were very pleased with how the pictures came out. We are excited to have Wendy do our Christmas pictures this year!
Samantha Hong
We had a wonderful experience at the photo shoot for our newborn baby Calvin! We LOVE Wendy's art and enjoyed every moment of the session! We have a beautiful album to treasure with our baby's cute pictures. Wendy is so talented and we loved her nice energy!
Thank you Wendy for the pictures! We love them!
Samanta Clark
Wendy makes me feel very comfortable and confident during our shoots. As well working with my family she makes everyone feel comfortable while making photos a breeze.
I’m always confident the photos will turn out natural, perfect and timeless.
Hazel Atwood
Wendy is a high quality photographer. She is very professional and friendly at the same time. I loved how comfortable she made us feel and how experienced she was with handling our newborn.
The pictures turned out great because she is so creative. I would recommend her to anyone!
Brooke Schroeder
Wendy had the daunting task of photographing our entire family - parents, spouses, kids, and grandkids. Over forty people in total. We requested pictures of the entire family as well as individual family shots and individual couples shots. The only thing we didn’t ask for were headshots of every single person there.
Wendy rose to the task. She was professional, friendly, and quick. We were amazed at how efficient she was and how well she got the job done.
The pictures turned out beautiful. She’s a professional that knows how to do her job. We’d call her again!
Kelsch Family
Working with Wendy was an amazing experience! She's patient, attentive, and is very careful. We enjoyed the service she provided and are pleased with our photos.
We definitely recommend her if you're interested in some quality photos with a professional.
Ashley & Michael Ford
Wendy is so talented and fun to work with! She took our engagement, bridal and wedding pictures. She pays close attention to detail and captures every moment perfectly. We love how timeless our photos turned out and will cherish them forever. I highly recommend using Wendy as your photographer!
April & Trevor
Wendy has photographed our daughter 8 times since she was a newborn and now she’s 2! We were initially referred to her by another photographer who said that she does amazing newborn photos, which is so true! I cannot say enough good things about Wendy. She is amazing with children. During our newborn shoot, she would often hold our daughter to get her to calm down and get the perfect shot. As she grew and got more difficult to photograph, Wendy was always so patient, and would follow her around waiting for the perfect photo opportunity. It made the photo sessions stress free for me. Plus the photos she takes are AMAZING! She always catches the most genuine, stunning shots. We will treasure these pictures forever. It has been an overall wonderful experience to work with Wendy, and we will continue to go back to her.
- Tabitha Wilson
Wendy is absolutely amazing! She takes her time to make sure you get the perfect picture of your baby. I recommend all of my family and friends to use her because I love every single picture she’s taken of my babies. I had her take my first daughters newborn pictures and then again this last time I had a baby. I will use her as long as I can. She’s prompt and responsive and makes sure you’re getting what you want. I love how quickly we have gotten our images each time and am obsessed. I end up printing almost all of them off! She truly does amazing work!
Brittney Hauser
Working with Wendy was great; having a newborn I was already nervous so it was great to find that she was vaccinated as outside of the hospital she was the first contact our daughter had! Her patience is unbelievable; at our 3 month photo shoot our daughter would not cooperate; thankfully Wendy was willing to try again for a quick session so we could have some photos of her smiling. Outside photos are our favorite and she had great locations to use to give some variety for our photos. She was super quick with the proofs and edited copies. Unfortunately we moved out of state and were not able to complete our first year photo package and she graciously allowed us to gift the rest of the package to a friend. I would recommend her for everyone and wish I could find someone as great when we move!
Amber & Jim Merrell
I can’t say enough good things about Wendy! She responds timely and gives tips & tricks to make photos seamless. Along with professionalism, she was extremely flexible with dates. She has many props, swaddles, etc to customize the shoot. I so was impressed! Wendy had different setups already picked out with a vision in mind for our little Winifred. The room warm for transitioning between swaddled & nakey photos. Wendy got a variety of amazing shots. She thought of any hurtles we might have before coming & was able to quickly adjust to our specific needs. I was able to pick out my favorite choices through an online portal, with the option of purchasing extra photos. I love how she edits them to be bright and realistic. I can put these photographs in any frame and it will match other decorations in my home. I see these timeless photos aging really well because of that! It is great to look back and have accurate representation of my baby. We plan on coming back to Wendy soon! I would recommend her not only for infant photos, but any occasion you are looking for!
Belle Robinson
Wendy is amazing!
She has been my "go to" photographer for years! Her prices are fair, she is an absolute pleasure to work with, and the quality of work is phenomenal.
Family portraits, newborn photos, maternity pictures, wedding, extended family photos, she has done it all and we have loved every photo!
Emma Petersen
Wendy was so great to work with for our first child’s newborn photos. She was very flexible with our time line as our little guy was in the NICU a week past our originally scheduled date. She was very sweet and professional with our little man who was still on oxygen when we went in for our shoot.
She knew exactly what to do with him and was capable of showing off just how perfect he is.
We would recommend her to anyone and can’t wait to see her in a few months for our sons 1 year photo shoot.
Rachel Means
I have worked with a dozen photographers which I honestly haven't been fond of. I was really nervous that my session with Wendy wouldn't turn out. My daughter was extremely reluctant to sleep and was a bit of a pill. Wendy was so patient and understanding. Her studio is the absolute CUTEST and walking in you can tell she has really great ideas and knows what she is doing. When I got the pictures I was so happy! They more than exceeded my expectations. I have never been more satisfied in investing in someone's talent than with Wendy. I recommend her to everyone and can't wait to do our family photos with her! She's super creative and knows exactly how to photograph your baby.
Teya Clarke
I have used Wendy as a photographer many times through the years and she is absolutely the best! She is the whole package: artistic, gifted, professional, and patient. She can handle very large groups, and even gets the little ones to smile! We have even paid for her to come to family reunions in other states so that she could do the large group photos!
We have been so happy with her work.
Thank you for capturing our family in such a beautiful way so many times over!
