So Very Sweet…. {Boise Idaho Newborn Photographer}

Just one… {Boise, Idaho Family Photographer}
July 1, 2009 – 10:30 am
… for the G family.
What an honor it was to be asked to capture this family as a celebration of mom and dad’s 50th wedding anniversary! 50 years!!! I think that is just amazing!
Mom and Dad were originally from Boise, and so what an awesome location for pictures. This is definitely one of my very favs from the evening…. Everyone looks fabulous sitting on top of beautiful Boise!
Congrats again! You guys were all wonderful! I hope you enjoy your sneak peak!

… yup… it’s more snapshots from california. I leave for Georgia in 4 days and am trying to get caught up with editing, blogging, etc, before i come home from my trip and have more editing, blogging, etc to do.
My mom has always had a nice garden. When we were little, we lived on an acre and the garden was huge! We all helped plant, water, and harvest. Now my mom lives on a much smaller lot and has lots of deer that she fights with, so the garden is much smaller, but still just as good.
and forget about florida… this orange tree has some of the best oranges I’ve ever tasted! The kids had so much fun pickin’ and eatin’
Howarth Park… {Boise, Idaho Children’s Photographer}

… has got to be one of the best parks in the world. This is a park I grew up going to all the time. I remember my grandma taking me, so having my kids get to go with their grandma was extra special.
This park has everything you can imagine! These pics were taken over 2 days, and I still didn’t capture everything!
Growing up, we referred to this park as “the duck park”. Going here to fee the ducks is definitely one of my favorite childhood pastimes…. and going back with my kids brought back so many great memories. This is definitely part of home for me.
On the weekends in the summer they bring in animals for a petting zoo and ponies for pony rides. I think this was one of the kids favorite parts. ( although Jack REALLY didn’t want to ride a girl pony; one with purple reins)
This park has a kiddie train that goes around a small portion of the park. The conductor tells ghost stories and points out a stuffed gorilla in a tree. I loved this train as a kid!
The little carousel is still there too. This is another ride my kids would’ve loved to go on over and over.
The park also has an awesome playland area. It has all of your standard play equipment but it also has a huge spider web that they loved climbing and a huge make-believe play area. My kids favorite section was the jail..
So yes… just tons and tons to keep em busy here. I only wish we could get a park like this closer than 12 hours….
onto my own….. {Boise, Idaho Children’s Photographer}

So I’ve finally finished all of my california clients and it’s time to move onto the other 15 gigs I shot while I was there. The shots of my own kids! Now most of them are snapshots, but still need to be blogged so that they can show up in my blog book at the end of the year. However, the first day we were there I snuck off with Haley and my neice to try out a location I had planned for a client. We didn’t have much time, and they mostly wanted to run and play, but I was soooo loving this tall grassy field and ended up getting a few keepers.
she looks just like my sister
slowly but surely, i’ll get through the rest and have plenty to share and bore you all with, i’m sure… Stay tuned

I was so excited when this familiy requested an urban shoot! … and then… even more excited driving around my old hometown of Santa Rosa discovering such fun locations. I’m gonna have to go back lots just to be able to use all the fun stuff that this place has to offer.
Anyone wanna schedule some more Cali sessions so I can come back and have more fun?
Thanks so much Heidi! Enjoy your sneak peak!

Little A’s mommy is a friend that I went to highschool with. I hadn’t seen her since our 10 year reunion when she was pregnant with this little beauty. Fabulous Facebook is how we’ve reconnected
This was such a fun session. By the end I think A and I were best friends!
Enjoy your sneak peak. I’ll have the rest ready for you soon

So I’m finally back from our funfun trip to California and i think I have enough pics to keep me blogging for a while. After downloading almost 30GB’s of cards… I’m thinking that it’s going to take me a while to catch up. I have tons and tons of snapshots of my kids having fun while we were there, but i also have several california clients waiting and waiting for sneak peaks… so my kiddos just might have to wait (maybe i’ll sneak some in here and there)
The first shoot that I did in Cali was a sweet little newborn. When I heard that he was born a few days early I was tempted to pull my kids out of school and head out there so I didn’t miss that sweet curly stage. I held off and left as planned and i got to photograph him at 15 days. He was VERY alert which made it tough for those sleepy curly pics, but I think we managed to capture a few.
Just walking into the home and being around mom and dad, who so clearly love each other and their sweet baby boy, I knew that this baby was very blessed to be welcomed into such a loving home.
Enjoy your sneak peak B&B!
He goes up…. {Boise Children’s Photographer}

…but he can’t get down. And mean mommy thinks it’s soo cute that i have to get a picture before rescuing him.
Now… I’ve had several people ask on facebook, or email me about my new camera…. They want a post, so here ya go…..
The Canon 5d MKII ROCKS MY WORLD!!!!! Seriously, it is one incredible piece of equipment! The high iso capabilities and the lack of noise simply BLOW ME AWAY!!! If you’re wondering what camera i shot with previously ( and still have) it was the old 5d. I purchased that camera about 2 years ago to replace my old xti. I could tell it was a great camera and had some features that were much better than the xti…. and with the price, it had better be better, right?! BUT… the jump from the 5d to the 5d mkii has oddly, been a much more noticeable jump for me! Maybe because now… 2 years more into my “hobby” i know more what i would be missing without it, I don’t know… not really sure, BUT…. I’m IN LOVE!!!!
so the above pics were taken about a month ago, before getting my mkii… I’ve taken several since then, including the last 2 posts…. but here’s one of the very first pics taken with it, just a few hours after ripping open the box.
one more thing… I’ll be leaving for sunny california in a couple of days so you probably won’t hear from me for a few weeks… but with my poor blogging habits, what else is new? Anyway… I have 5 sessions scheduled for while I’m there, and lots of fun planned for the kids and I, so look for some fun posts when i return!
Me and Mine….. {Boise, Idaho Family Photographer}
May 25, 2009 – 9:09 pm
and would you like to know who my photographer is?…. well my friends, it’s me! and I’ll tell you why….
Our last family picture was taken almost 6 years ago… 2 kids ago… and before the age of me knowing what an SLR was. Since owning my own SLR and running my own photography business, I’ve managed to come up with any excuse possible to NOT be on the other side of the camera. Anything from being pregnant, to not pregnant but still fat, to not having the right clothes, to needing a haircut…. and yes… many of those still might be true for this picture(not the “being pregnant” part - i promise!), but i still went through with it - and i’m proud of that.
For mother’s day, Cliff bought me this pretty green settee that not only looks perfect in my living room, but had soooo much potential for photographs. I really wanted to be able to use it in an alley or a big field, but it really wasn’t going to fit as well as I had planned in the back of our sequoia. HOWEVER…. A few weeks ago, while I was in Mesa, the sequoia got hit while parked in the walmart parking lot. Some kid left his car in neutral and ran into walmart. As soon as the car “holding it in place” left, his car rolled across the parking lot into ours. Nice, right?!? Anyway… We took it into the shop last week to get fixed and the rental car company showed up with a pick-up for us to use. Hmmmm… it must’ve been fate that I ended up with a car to fit my pretty settee in, during a week of nice weather, right?! So without a photog handy, I through some outfits together, had cliff help me shimmy the settee into the back of the pickup, grabbed my tripod and remote and we headed off - 4wheelin’ to the best place I knew of for this shoot. It wasn’t the most pleasant shoot of my short photography career, but the craziness of it all was worth it. I now have a picture that’s worth hanging on my wall that my husband, 4 children and ME are all in together! It may not be the best, but it’s us… ALL OF US!
(and don’t be surprised if you get a christmas card from me in a few months with this picture on it… i don’t see us getting another one any time soon.
