Utah Baby Shower

If you need baby shower inspiration, keep scrolling. We're not just saying it, for real. Do it. We were honored to be apart of Lindsay of Harvest Moon Event's baby shower. Not only did Kasey of Harvest Moon Events plan the entire baby shower, but she hired us as a surprise gift for Lindsay.

Everything at this baby shower was cute enough for a baby and classy enough for a grown group of women. The adorableness of this shower almost ALMOST made us want to have a baby of our own. Yes, Kasey is THAT good at events. Don't worry though, after the twinkle lights and delicious pink punch left our memories, we regained our DINK status.

To brag a bit about Kasey, she is a young, beautiful woman entrepreneur in Park City, Utah. We felt included in the baby shower instead of the hidden photographer crouched in the corner wearing camouflage. Lindsay, the one that is pregnant in the pictures, she is equally as amazing and not to mention is a BEAST. Lindsay was still working and lifting heavy wedding coordinator things the day before her Park City baby shower. Who are these women? We feel a bit of superhero powers just from association.

Let's discuss beverages for a second. This punch champagne concoction was AMAZING, so much so, we tried to blend random juices and whipping cream from our fridge the next day to replicate it. Scouring through your fridge + being too lazy to go to the store= a weird not even close version of the punch in the pictures. So don't be lazy like us, GO TO THE STORE, and maybe ask Kasey for the recipe because our recipe will create a gross punch you won't want to serve to anyone.

Soak in the pink punch, mini burgers, tender meat, pallet table and ridiculously adorable tipi-pillow-covered-tree nest. Now that you've had your baby shower inspiration, you can continue your weekend smiling and thinking of how Monday is super far away from today.

Lauren & Caleb Proposal

EngagedLauren Wester1 Comment

Another photographer and I were waiting to capture Caleb proposing. The problem was, we had never met Caleb, he only explained what he and Lauren would be wearing, and also that he was a "baldingish man." I laughed a little that this was the only feature I had to go off of. What if by some chance two people wearing white sneakers and a "baldingish" man walked by us? A little fear set in, but then I saw two people fitting the description. The other photographer pretended to take pictures of me while she captured Caleb talking to Lauren, great name, right? Then she signaled me to turn around and my heart sank. I had to keep my composure and keep shooting. As he got down on one knee I could see her joy, surprise and her deep love for Caleb. I circled around after it was clear she said yes, and then she pointed at me in confusion. I'm sure she was thinking, who is this creeper taking pictures of me?? Caleb whispered something in her ear and her mouth dropped, suddenly her confusion turned to shock and happiness. We would soon learn she was a pro at having her picture taken since she previosuly owned a fashion blog in San Francisco. 

As we shot more and more portraits, I could feel the genuine goodness from Caleb & Lauren. These are the people you instantly want to be friends with. I could have photographed them for hours, not to mention it was cloudy that day, so the sky looked fake. Trying my best to capture their loving spirits, every click made me smile. I am so happy for Caleb & Lauren and know their wedding day will be nothing less of momentous. 

Love,

Lauren at Quirky Shutter
