Beautiful little 3yo | utah portrait photographer

You probably have been wondering where I’ve been and why I haven’t posted anything to my blog for the last little while… or not. Well, I have been really busy shooting and I haven’t been able to keep up with all that’s going on. This is a very busy time of year. OK… enough excuses.

Check out this adorable 3yo that I shot about 3 weeks ago. I couldn’t believe that she is only 3… she is about the height of a 5yo! If you are in the market for some cool beanie hats for the girls this winter send her mom Danielle and email and tell her that Ryan sent you.

James and Danielle are in for a teenage treat! LOL
Keep up the good work!
Lots of love,
Nikki, Chris and the Girls!

Our vacation is on fire… literally!

As most of you know, my family and are are in the San Diego area on vacation. I spent the day shooting (images will be posted soon) and came back to pick up my family at the hotel so we could hit the beach. On the way to the beach, we saw black smoke billowing into the air about 10 miles inland. We drove over to see what was going on and this is what we saw.









When we finally made it to the beach, we watched the planes skim across the surface of the ocean long enough to fill up and then pull off the water to make another run. It was really fascinating how the pilots were able to repeatedly maneuver their planes across the top of the ocean and back into the air without even coming to a stop.



It was extremely disheartening to witness families packing their cherished belongings into their cars as fast as they could so that they could leave everything that wouldn’t fit behind. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has been or will be impacted by this disaster.

Dew Tour SLC: BMX Dirt

I have been really busy lately so hanging out with Ayden at the Dew Tour in SLC was a lot of fun! We had a blast watching the action from the front row and then walked over to the Gateway mall and had some dinner. It was some long awaited father and son time that I cherish so much.

Here are some shots of the action as we saw it.

The sun was setting behind the building (Triad Center) and shining right through the atrium.


James Foster, last years SLC Dew Tour winner.

The man… Ryan Nyquist!

Here is a shot of Mike Aitken, the local rider who took the #1 spot. The light you see in the top of the image is from a huge flood light mounted on a crane and yes, that’s the moon in the top right.

Check out this video to see how crazy good Mike is.

Another shot of Nyquist after he crashed on his second run. He didn’t have a good night and he wasn’t happy. Ayden was able to get is autograph on the back of his shirt.

This image is a prime example of why I LOVE my Nikon D3! It was taken on the street corner at 9:30 PM with available light (no flash) at 1600 ISO as we were leaving the BMX Dirt venue.

sneak peek: Savannah

What a treat it was working with this beautiful little cheeky. She was so good during our shoot and you can’t deny how darn cute she is! Her aunt Jackie is one of my most loyal clients… love ya girl!
