  • Welcome..come in and look around!

    Thanks for visiting Images by Jami.I have two passions in life, motherhood and photography. I have five boys and a wonderful husband. I photograph newborns, maternity, kids, families, high school seniors. I also do a few select weddings each year.  If you are interested in scheduling a session check out "The 411" in the menu bar. I am usually booked out 4 weeks in advance, so if you are interested in a date shoot me an email. If you see something you like feel free to leave a comment. I love to hear from those who stop by. Thanks for looking.

     

I’m off…

Just a quick note that my offices will be closed until Monday Aug 2nd, you can still reach me through email jami@imagesbyjami.com

Yes there are still a few spots left in the Aug 14th class- so email me if you are interested!

Have a great weekend!!! Off Off and Away.. with five boys in the car, this is one of them!

Just a one from last night {Utah Maternity Photography}

Here is a quick look for Miss Cyndi! I could not resist editing a few, despite trying to get out the door on a family trip! If you can believe it she is 34 weeks pregnant with TWINS! Can’t wait to meet them!

Doesn’t she look like “bring it on.. I can handle whatever comes my way” in this picture?

Kit and Kim Getting Married… stay tuned {utah wedding photography}

It was my pleasure to do a bridal/groomal session with this cute couple two weeks ago. They are adorable together and are so in love. They were up to going to a few different locations. This is a new trend in wedding photos, do the photos of the bride and groom before the wedding day. Why you ask? Well from a photographers point of view, more control of light, locations, and usually a longer session to get “the shots” From the couples point of view, not keeping guest waiting while photos are taken, no worrying if the weather is icky, and more time to celebrate their day!

I love these sessions… I will post more from this session in the weeks to come, but for now here is a quick look!

Amy and Grant Married (and blogged!) {utah wedding photography)

These last few weeks we have been able to spend a TON of time with my husband’s family. I adore my nieces and nephews. They are the most amazing examples to my boys (my husband is the youngest in the family so most, not all, of the nieces and nephews are older then my kiddos) Thursday my niece Amy got married. It was an amazing event at the Salt Lake Temple, luncheon at The Lion House, and wedding reception at The Willow Creek Country Club. Here is a small sampling of the days events! We love ya Grant and Amy!

My beautiful nieces! Which one will be next…. things that make you say hmmmmm!

Mother of the Bride, just joyous!

my feet hurt so bad! So off with my shoes!

Not looking so happy…why do our mother’s drag us to these things!

Cousins comparing ties! Sooo cute!

Wendy Buhrley - Hey James! Stunning! — My favorite word to describe your work! Seriously – you are amazing! This baby is oh-so-adorable and the wedding pictures below are INCREDIBLE! WOW!

So I want you to do our family pics again this fall. I’m so thrilled that your sis ended up staying here so that you have a fun reason to come and visit (besides me) :) So let me know when you are headed this way. XOXO -Wendy

We will bring the world his truth

Watch out South Africa and Brasil. You have two awesome, dedicated, hard working missionaries heading your way. I am always honored to to be asked to do a missionary session. If you do not know what LDS mormon missionaries do, visit www.lds.org or www.mormon.org. These young men always keep me motivated to work hard with my boys so that at one point in their lives they choose to serve the Lord by “bringing the world his truth” Good luck “S” and “E”!!
