My Natalie girl turned 4 in May and I always try to do a photo shoot with her around her birthday. To be honest, I was dreading it a bit. Any photographer can tell you about PCS, Photographer’s Child Syndrome. Our kids are always the hardest to photograph. I dreamed up this vision of what I wanted
her photos to look like this time around, bought specific outfits and accessories. I knew I’d get maybe one or two photos because of PCS. Let me tell you, I was wrong, wrong, wrong. If 4 means loving to have photos taken, then I’m loving 4!

Plenty of silliness!

The ears! LOVE HER!

The day started out pretty interesting…windy, pouring rain and cold…hello spring! We almost rescheduled but crossed our fingers and went for it. It turned out that the one place in Boise it wasn’t pouring was our location. Rad! Although it did threaten us a few times, we made it through without getting wet and celebrated with a nice tall glass of barley mixed with quality client time. My favorite part of the session…meeting Henry, what a good puppy he was! He’s turned me, I want a Yorkie now!

Thanks guys for a fun evening! I can’t wait to shoot your wedding this fall, it’s going to be seriously awesome!

One of my awesome clients seen HERE contacted me needing some special photos done for her husband who was called upon by the Army to do another tour flying helicopters in Iraq. We braved the not so wonderful windy weather and had a blast, just like we always do! B family, you are so very appreciated for the sacrifice you make to serve us, a thank you will never be enough. Stay safe.

When trying to figure out where Nick and Michelle wanted to have their engagement session, Michelle says, well we love our wine so how about a winery. Perfect! So I got on the phone and called up one of my favorite Idaho wines, Ste. Chapelle Winery, and although they close early on Fridays, sweet Mary was kind enough to give us permission to walk in and use the grounds. We had the whole place to ourselves and it was quite a weather adventure. We got rained on more then once, but powered through it and even messed around with some off camera lighting and captured a rainbow.

You’ll see this lovely couple again in the fall when I shoot their wedding in downtown Boise!

My girl got her hairs cut Saturday, she’s so cute. We had yet to get any photos of her with her dance gear on so this was the perfect opportunity.

Showing me some dance moves!

She’s a little teapot!
