This Chicago couple’s engagement session was so fun to help plan and photograph!

The groom wanted to propose in a place that held meaning for them. They both love to ski, and this spot overlooking some of his future bride’s favorite ski runs was perfect!

They love Park City, so we found some fun spots downtown to take some photos. It’s such a beautiful town, it was a fun morning with a great couple!

Congratulations Kale & Chelsea!

This engagement session was so much fun! The sweetest couple, Fall leaves, the first snowfall of the season & beautiful cars. This ’65 Mustang had my heart!

Congratulations Robert & Lisa!

It was an honor to be hired to photograph the start of such a special night for this adorable couple!

Their Senior Prom kicked off with a portrait session at the beautiful LaCaille Restaurant in Sandy, Utah. A 1964 Austin Princess Vanden Plas vintage car named Princess Ivy was rented from Something Vintage Something Blue for the evening, and it made quite a grand entrance. The gorgeous succulent wrist corsage and boutonniere were from Flowerpro in Draper.

After a fun portrait session on the grounds, the couple enjoyed appetizers including their favorite charcuterie board and then drove off in style to the Juan Diego Catholic high school senior prom.

This extended family session brought everyone together for their parents’ wedding anniversary, and was just in time for the Holiday Season! I love capturing family moments they will cherish for years to come.

When this family contacted me for their portrait session, I was excited to find a location they would love! This rooftop was perfect!

A year ago this March, I was contacted by the sweetest couple from Tennessee to photograph their pregnancy announcement photos. They were married at Utah’s Canyons Ski Resort 3 years prior, and wanted to announce their pregnancy with images from the slopes as well.

We met for Paige & Garret’s photoshoot at Snowbasin Resort with perfect weather – sunshine and a mountain full of snow! They had printed up the cutest onesie’s with “Guess What?” and ” Best Day Ever” on them. I was able to borrow a toddler snowboard from the Lifthouse in Salt Lake City, along with the cutest little snowboard boots to use for props.

I had such a great time hanging out with these two on the mountain! They were so fun, easy to talk to, game for any ideas, and really excited to be new parents.

On the ski lift, Paige told me their story… they had been trying to build their family for a while now, and had gone through 3 miscarriages. This was their 4th pregnancy, things were going well, they’d made it past 10 weeks and were so excited.

Sadly, I heard from Paige shortly after their trip that they had miscarried once more. My heart just broke for them.

But guess what? They never lost their positive attitude and faith that someday… they would be parents. That struck me from the first time she had shared their struggle, and as sad as I felt for them I was equally amazed and inspired by their strength and positive attitude.

Fast forward one year…

I just received an email from Paige, AND THEY ARE PREGNANT!!!

You couldn’t peel the smile off of my face as I read that email! They are in their second trimester and are due in August 2017!

Still living their inspiring, positive attitudes, this is what Paige wrote… “I really don’t think I would change a thing about our story because it has strengthened my faith and truly enhanced my appreciation.” This couple is truly blessed, and not just with this new baby coming.

They are excited to share their joy with family & friends, and show their fun images!

I cannot wait to someday meet this little one on a future Utah trip to introduce that darling baby to Utah’s ski resorts! hint hint Paige & Garret 😉 come back out to UT anytime, I’ve got a huge hug waiting for all 3 of you!

Ok… now that you know the full story, please take a look at their images and see if your smile doesn’t reach your ears too!

This sweet couple was fun to photograph – they were so obviously smitten for each other … pretty adorable. I wish them the best for their upcoming wedding and life together!

2016 Winter Sessions!

Let’s get out in the snow and play!

I have great locations available with fresh Utah snow, beautiful mountain scenery & my favorite… tall pines covered in snow.

Contact kari@karisikorskiphotography to book your Winter Session.

This couple’s engagement session was shot on two separate dates to include locations here in Utah that they love! Because they were getting married on an Alaskan cruise, they wanted to include formal images taken in their wedding attire.

We shot their images at Snowbird, Little Cottonwood Canyon, La Caille, and the Bonneville Salt Flats. They are such a fun and adventurous couple, and their engagement session was truly a lot of fun!

They are so excited and I’m so excited for them! Babies are such a sweet blessing… Congratulations Rick & Gillian!
