Meet Harper

Hooray! She is here! Meet little Miss Harper. After capturing Travis & Hanna's wedding last summer, then their maternity portraits, and now their first family portraits, I feel like we are great friends, and not just their photographer. One of the best things about my job, meeting great people and capturing their lives as they grown and change. Welcome little one, I look forward to watching you grow!

The Leather's Family

Such a beautiful family! The crazy Idaho weather is so hard to predict, I have had to reschedule so many sessions this spring due to weather. Well this day was of and on raining, but it was fairly warm. So we went ahead with the shoot. Wouldn't you know it it started to POUR as we really got into it. Luckily we were shooting in a backyard and we took shelter under the porch as we waited for the little storm cloud to pass by. It would stop for a few minutes, we would get all set up again, and then here came the rain. Ha! Oh well we had fun with it anyway. How could I complain shooting in such a fantastic spot?! (I dream of MY backyard looking like this someday!)

The Pink Mohawk Project

Stephanie is one of the most amazing women I know. After 4 children she decided to go back to school, and became a Math teacher. (Teacher + Math= amazing in my book!) She was planning her daughters wedding when things just didn't seem right. And 2 days after the wedding she got the diagnoses.... breast cancer. After Stephanie's first round of chemo she had a "pink mohawk" party to shave her head. "if I'm going to lose all my hair, I'm going to have fun with it" said Stephanie. Joe, her husband, joined in and is sporting a pink mohawk also. Not only is he the love of her life, but her biggest supporter also.

It was truly an honor to capture these portraits. As we continue to pray for God's healing in Stephanie, I pray for strength and joy through this journey. I am positive Stephanie and her family will be able to look back on this one day and smile (maybe even chuckle a little too).







I think this photo should be titled Cancer cannot take away my JOY

Shantel & Steven, engaged!

When planning a portrait session one of the biggest decisions is location. Although we are blessed to have an abundance of beautiful parks it is always exciting when a client choses a new (to me) location. Shantel & Steven suggested this abandoned farm in Eagle, and it was amazing. Ok we did have to deal with a few mosquitos (OK, a lot of mosquitos) luckily being a Mom of 4 I had some repellant in my van. (always prepared!) We had a blast exploring the old buildings, posing by rundown fences, and the gorgeous sun setting on the tall wispy grass... LOVE! And make sure to check out Shantel's amazing shoes, I had recommended wearing some sassy heels and I'm pretty sure she crossed the border and went for sexy! (And she she rocked them I might add!) Congratulations Shantel & Steven, I absolutely cannot wait to shoot your wedding next fall!

Taylor Class of 2011

I love that Taylor decided to include her family in her Senior portraits. It is a milestone when the oldest graduates from High School, and begins on a new journey of their own. So it also is a perfect time to think about capturing this through family portraits. No worries, we did lots (and lots) of pictures of Taylor too. I really enjoyed photographing her, she had a lot of fun in front of the lens posing and showing her personality. Congratulations Taylor and lots of blessings in the future!
