You’re here because you want something real. Not just a photo session, but an experience that captures your family’s story as it is right now! Honest, emotional, and full of connection.
At La Bella Sole Photography, we work with families in North Ogden who want more than posed smiles. You want to remember the little moments, the relationships that matter, and the love that fills your home. That’s what we’re here to help you hold on to.
Embracing Connections Experiences
You love your family, your partner, and the life you’ve built. But lately, you’ve felt a little disconnected. Our Embracing Connections experience is your invitation to slow down, see each other again, and rediscover the bond that brought you together in the first place.
Whether you’re celebrating years of partnership, the unbreakable connection with your children, or the woman you’ve grown into, this experience is a chance to feel seen, loved, and deeply connected.
Because the love you share is worth remembering every single day.
Family Photography
Life doesn’t slow down, but this experience gives you a chance to catch your breath and reconnect. Our outdoor and studio family photography sessions in our North Ogden studio or outside in the surounding areas are designed to capture the love, laughter, and connection that make your family unique. Whether your kids are toddlers or grown and out of the house, this is your time to hold onto the connection you share now. We’ll guide you every step of the way so you can simply enjoy being together.
First Year Baby Plan: Baby Milestone Photography
Your baby’s first year is full of incredible changes, and this plan is designed to help you hold onto every one of them. From those sleepy newborn snuggles to sitting up, and finally smashing their first birthday cake, we’ll document every stage of your baby’s story.
Your Baby Plan includes three milestone experiences: a full studio newborn session, a Little Sit session around 6-8 months, and a joyful first birthday experience. You’ll also receive a bonus maternity or family session.
Newborn Photography
The newborn stage is beautiful, overwhelming, and over before you know it. Our studio newborn experiences are designed to give you space to slow down and soak in these once-in-a-lifetime moments. With a calm, baby-led approach, we’ll capture every tiny detail, from curled fingers and milk-drunk smiles to the deep love surrounding your growing family.
Choose from packages that focus just on baby or include parent, sibling, and family portraits too. Our most popular option includes a full newborn experience, a studio maternity session, and time for everyone in your family to be part of the story. Each session is fully guided, beautifully styled, and followed by a product reveal where you’ll select the images and artwork you love most.
First Birthday and Smash Cake Photography
Your baby is turning one, and this experience is all about celebrating everything they’ve become. From sweet smiles to curious hands, we’ll capture all the personality, milestones, and joy that mark this major milestone.
Your one-hour First Birthday session includes up to three outfit changes and three unique sets: a playful white backdrop with balloons, a rustic wooden scene to highlight your baby’s achievements, and a custom themed birthday setup just for them. We’ll guide you through everything, including what to bring.
Bonus: We provide the cake and balloons, so you don’t have to stress about a thing.
Limited Edition Children’s Experiences
Wands at the ready, wings in place. Our Limited Edition Experiences are all about bringing a little magic to your memories. Whether it’s our Wizarding School in July or Fall Fairy portraits in October, these one-day events are designed to spark imagination and create something unforgettable.
Each themed setup is handcrafted in our North Ogden studio to fully immerse your child in the story. These sessions book up quickly, but you can pre-book your spot at any time and be first in line when the magic returns.
Empowering Boudoir Experiences
This isn’t just about beautiful portraits. It’s about stepping into your own power.
Our boudoir experiences are for women who are ready to reconnect with who they are. Not once they lose the weight. Not when life slows down. Right now. You’ll be guided through every step, from choosing outfits to celebrating your portraits at your Reveal Party. The real transformation comes from within.
You’ve always been powerful. This is your moment to feel it.

Real Stories from Families in North Ogden
“If you’re looking for a photographer to capture your newborn’s most meaningful moments, stop here. From the first meeting, Shae felt like family.”
“It’s not just a photo. It’s a feeling. From start to finish, Shae made this unforgettable. Her kindness and talent show in every single detail.”
“Shae was so patient and kind. Even when the babies weren’t in the mood, she captured exactly what I hoped for. A true lifetime memory.”

Get to know our owner
As a mom I know firsthand that our children are always changing. One year they are fascinated by dinosaurs, the next year trains, with fireman, princesses or pirates, and before you know it they are senior in high school. Each one of those memories holds a special place in a child’s heart, and yours if you think about it, because together they weave a story that defines their childhood.
With today’s busy schedule, I know that most families struggle with trying to find time for a portrait session and often “wait until next year”. The problem is the years fly by, the portraits never get created and our children grow up right before our eyes.
When you open the doors to our studio a magical portrait adventure awaits! We have made capturing forever moments an easy process for parents. From dreaming up the perfect session scene to creating finished portrait artwork to display proudly in your home and to give as gifts.
My passion for children’s photography has come from watching my own children grow and change. I am obsessed with finding ways to slow down time and having the ability to remember every detail of their lives. One of my biggest reguest as a mom was not getting in the photos with my children as they grew.
Let me help you capture this moment in your life and freeze time for you. These are the days you will never want to forget!
I can’t wait to help tell your story!
-Hugs

Can we book our session on a weekend?
Oh my goodness YES!!!!! However, these appointments fill out months in advance, so if you are wanting a weekend session, please book at least 3 months in advance. If you are looking for Fall location sessions, these spots book about a year in advance. I know that is crazy but they do! I mean Utah fall is stunning do you blame them?
Please note that in Nov. our Saturdays are held for our Christmas sessions. If you need a Nov date, it will have to be a weekday.
What is included with your sessions?
Our sessions include a very detailed in person consultation done at our North Ogden Studio. Your 30-60 minute portrait experience or as you might call it, your photo session either at the location of your choice, or in our portrait studio. Your reveal party which you might call your viewing and ordering appointment, editing of your portraits, artwork creation, and your product pick up appointment. So yep, that is right, for every session we will see you 4 times. I know this seems like a lot with busy schedules, but I promise we do this to ensure that we never miss any detail you are wanting.
How many people are included with the session fee?
As many as you want to bring! We do not charge extra for photographing extended family! Other than that weird uncle. He costs extra! haha, jk!
Do you offer digital images?
Yes we do! They are available to purchase from your session in a variety of ways. We want our clients to have printed versions of their images to last a lifetime, but we know how important digital images are to moms as well! All of our custom-designed albums and keepsake image boxes come with matching digital images with a print release. You can also purchase a collection of high resolution digital images at your reveal party as well if product isn’t your jam. But we will always gift you a social media file that is low resolution and watermarked of any portrait you purchase.(same you see on our social media accounts)
How much is your session fee?
