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

EnJoY!

Magic Valley Photography

I was so excited when Jackee booked her session. We went to High School, and were in band together. And as many high school friendships seem to go, I haven't seen her since. So it was extra special to not only get to see each other again, but also to meet her two beautiful children. It was a gorgeous morning, everything was so lush and pretty. We even crashed a wedding at the rose garden. LOL (ok the wedding wasn't going yet they were just setting up...) We chatted bout how it was a perfect picnic day and how we all were hankerin' for some sub sammies. Yummm!

This photography session was done in Twin Falls, Idaho. Although I live in the Boise area I have family in Twin, and visit from time to time. Watch my facebook page for announcemenets of special session dates in the Magic Valley, sessions are very limited when I do! Or if I have 3 or more sessions booked I am happy to make a special trip down for you.

The Huskys Funky Downtown Family Portraits

I love it when a family is open to try out anything! It was great photographing this family, on a rainy summer evening. Actually the weather made it quite nice. It was a casual session where everyone was just themselves and had a fun time doing it! The best kind of shoot!

My daughter joind us on this shoot (as she often does...my little future photographer in training). Although she is only 6 she has many times been a huge help, making kiddos smile, holding reflectors, and more. But as many of my clients have witnessed she can be a bit of a clutz too. She has more than once tripped, fell, even once had to be rescued off a huge rock. Well this time she managed to fall off a 5ft high rock wall...belly flop onto the pavement. Ack! She was fine though....maybe I should be photographing all these little incidents and someday compile them into a post.

Oh La La!!

I always have fun on my photoshoots, but every now and then a session comes along that just ROCKS! This was one of those sessions. I had so much fun with Carie, she was so beautiful and natural in front of the camera. We did this shoot for her hubby who is on deployment, I'm pretty sure he'll like them! (thanks Carie for letting me share them too!)

Family = Russ, Nancy & Jess

I was thrilled when my sweet friend, Nancy, asked me to do some family portraits while her daughter was home visiting from CA. I knew we would have a great shoot, they are such a beautiful family, how could we not? I even think that Russ had a good time (even though I hear he grumbled about it beforehand) Thanks Russ for rescuing the damsel in distress (my daughter who came along, who somehow got stuck when climbing on some rocks) what a great guy!

Can you bleieve these love birds have been married for 31 years! They are such an inspiration to me!

And as always, their verse:

EnJoY!
