Hi and Welcome!! Thank you for visiting my blog! My name is Marta Smith and I am a wedding and family photographer in Utah County.

That is what I will do my very best to capture- the heart and spirit of you and your loved ones.
A smile happens in a flash~its memory lasts forever!

Such a big miracle from such a little boy!

Babies are one of my favorite, both to take pictures of and to love! This sweet baby boy, and the journey to his amazing family, touched my heart beyond words! This sweet, one-of-a-kind couple have been waiting for baby Cal to come to thier home for a very long time! They loved him, and the memories they had yet to make, so much! Yet they had not met him. They were so patient and oh so faithful! Then, just a few weeks ago, one of the greatest miracles and gifts was placed in their arms for the very first time! From that special bonding moment, they were a family!

I loved watching the love they have for this little boy. You can see it in their eyes, hear it in their voices, and feel their love all around them. This is one of those times where you know, without a shadow of doubt, that God is all around. His spirit is in this home and the love felt for this precious baby boy and the birth mother is very strong!

We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life.
But those who make their journey home across time & miles,
growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them,
are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us
by God's very own hands.
--- Kristi Larson


Now that I got all sappy, without further adieu, I would like to indroduce you to...
BABY CALAN
Get nice and cozy, I had a hard time choosing! So, sit back and enjoy this sweet little boy and the HUGE miracle and blessing that he is!

Thank you so much, Patrick and Erin, for trusting me to capture these first, precious weeks! I hope you like them! I will get the rest of them to you soon!

Dear Marta,
Thank you so much for these darling pictures of our little Cal. Your words and your amazing photography touch me deeply. We feel so blessed that this precious baby has come into our family. We have prayed for Erin and Patrick to become parents for so long. Getting little Calan is an answer to those many prayers and we are so thankful.

Your wonderful pictures will be treasured by all of us. I have no idea how you got him to smile...you are amazing!!!

Thanks for your love and for these precious pictures.

These pictures are so beautiful. What a talent and gift you have, little Calan's pictures turned out so well. I especially loved that you captured his little smile, so precious. :) BTW, I'm a friend of Lura's, and I just had to come over and take a look at the photos when she told us how good they were.

Dear Marta,
I posted one of your pictures of Calan on my blog and told my readers about your wonderful photography. I told them to hop over to your blog to see them all. I hope that is OK with you.

Have a great day, Grammy
