I met with Eric & Casey at the beginning of the year at a little coffee shop in downtown Boise. At first glance I knew this couple was cool, stylish and beautiful. In our chat, I found out that Eric used to be a photographer, how honored did I feel that they wanted me to shoot their wedding in August.

We met up a few weeks ago in downtown Boise for their engagement session. All day long the weather was decent but in true Idaho Spring 2010 Weather, it took a drastic turn in the afternoon/evening. We stuck it out and it turned out to be a gorgeous evening!

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!

I recently delivered a brand identity update to Kristina Young Photography. Kristina is a natural light, lifestyle photographer based in the Boston, Massachusetts area. She previously had a simple, one color look and just wanted to change up her logo text and add a pattern that will fit with her clients, location and let her bring in some more colors to her marketing materials. Whala…inspired by Lilly Pulitzer, True Religion Jeans & Tori Burch Sandals. Happy branding Kristina!

Ever heard of the I Heart Faces site? They hosted a nation wide photo walk a few Saturday’s ago where a gathering of Boise peeps interested in photography (professionals and non professionals) met up to walk a mapped out course ending with lunch. It was a great time and I look forward to the next one! Why you ask did I mention the word rebels? Let’s start with the qualifications.

To qualify as an IHF Photo Walk Rebel, you must:
1) Be ten minutes late, when you were supposed to be ten minutes early – missing out on actually meeting everyone.
2) Not pay attention to where you should be going even though you have a printed map highlighting the route – ending up making your own route. Wait, does that make us rebel pioneers? Awesome. The Photo Walk Rebel Pioneers!
3) Order alcoholic drinks at lunch when everyone else gets water and sodas.

Thanks to my friend and assistant, Stephanie and my good friend Brittany for embracing the rebelliousness with me!

Now, on to some of the photos!

Partners in crime – I made them do some “engagement” shots. lol!

This is Clayton he got “lost” with us, but wasn’t late and didn’t order alcohol.

One of our stops was the Boise State Stadium!

The short story – I turned 30 in Vegas last month & went for the Supercross finals. It was awesome. I love Vegas.
