Madisen, Emmett High School Class of 2011 - Emmett Idaho Senior Photographer

Madisen is such a sweet and loving young woman. When we met for her consultation she was soooo shy and I assured her that we'd have lots of fun.

A week later was her shooting session and we met at a local park and her shyness went away, her smile lit up her face and her guard was down. Now it was time to really have some fun!

I've been told that Madisen rocks the Oboe (musical instrument for those that don't know), so I asked her to bring it. I LOVE this photo!!

Madisen loves her pugs with a passion and has the most clever names for them; Biscuit & Gravy.

Right after the above photo was taken we started to pack up and head to our next location but mother nature had something to say to us; clouds started to roll in quickly and were really dark and then we heard it....thunder. Oh nooooo. We decided to call it a night because we didn't want to get rained on nor get struck by lightning.

A few days later we tried again. Beautiful day, no clouds, not too hot, really just a perfect day for us.

Last but not least, Madisen was game for some real excitement. She told me that she was game to get wet so I took her to the river. She charged in that water like it was warm Hawaiian water. Such an awesome and brave girl!

Thank you Madisen. I had such a fun time with you and your mom! Keep smiling girl!

Karen, Emmett High Class of 2011 - Emmett Idaho Senior Photographer

Karen is a beautiful girl that absolutely loves the camera....and the camera loves her. She is full of spunk and has such a fun spirit.

I moved to Idaho a little over a year ago and got lost one day on my way to the Nampa Costco (totally missed a turn!). I ended up coming across this awesome bridge and just wanted to photograph on it someday. Well, for the past year I have been trying to find that bridge (figures, I'd find it when I was lost! LOL). Somehow this bridge came up in topic with Karen and her boyfriend Cole (see his Senior Portraits here) and they both knew the bridge that I was talking about. OMG!!!! YES!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

The funnest part of shooting at the bridge was stopping traffic. LOL We had to stop traffic (only a couple of cars) a few times so we could shoot in the middle of the bridge and against the sides of the bridge. The people in the cars didn't mind (well at least I don't think they did since we didn't get any glaring looks nor yelled at).

We headed just below the bridge and there were some huge boulders and I had her lay back on them. I bet they were the most uncomfortable things to lay on, but beauty is pain ;)

We started to head back to Emmett and stopped off in Middleton to shoot on the little bridge and Cole & Karen played on the swings. Then we came across an abandoned shop that had an awesome green wall. So we detoured over to the wall. Coming closer to home I decided to check out the winery that's on Hwy 16 and soon realized that there was a wedding that was about to go on. Ooops. I didn't want to totally crash the wedding so we just shot in one area and quickly left (the guests didn't see us....only the groom and his groomsmen and they were fooling around themselves).

Here are a few more of my faves from Karen's Senior Portrait Session.......

And last but certainly not least of my faves........

I WANT A PAIR OF THESE CHUCKS!!!!!!

And now a glimpse into Karen........

My name is Karen Marie Owens

 
My nickname is Boo (by mom) or Sunshine (by dad) or Goober Head

 
I go to school at Emmett High School

 
My favorite class is Art, any Art

 
My favorite color is Blue

 
I love to listen to the sound of peace in the mountains

 
My all-time favorite movie is Dirty Dancing. Patrick Swayze is a BEAST!

My favorite possession is my car "Blurple"

I never leave home without my not so awesome cellular device

My favorite high school moment is when I was setting up for a friend’s Senior Project dinner, I was setting up tables and I tripped and took the table with me and threw the other table I was pushing into Cole. Cole, my friends, my friend’s parents, and my other friend all laughed with me due to my clutzy actions. The cherry on the top of the entire situation was that the school caught the entire thing on camera. Ah… The power of technology for Black Mail.

 
After I graduate I want to go for a road trip to the Golden Coast, drive all the way down Highway 1 stopping at all the cool beaches along the way with my best friend, Tabetha, and my man, Cole. Oh, then I'm gong to BSU to be a civil engineer. That's important too :)

 
My dream job is being a civil engineer in an area with a lot of water and getting to design appealing bridges that people who drive or walk them will remember for years to come.

 
Dead or alive, who would you like to meet and why? I would meet Jared Padalecki because he is an amazing actor and one FINE AND TASTY piece of man pie. And I would meet Walt Disney because he is the true inspiration for my art and an amazing role model.

 
I love Barbara Walker Photography because when someone gets photographed for the first time, it’s awkward. However, Barbara makes the “awkwardness” disappear because of her bubbly attitude, her unique style, and her obvious passion for her job. Not to mention the pictures are absolutely beautiful, even when she has you do some of the weirdest things :) 

Butterfly At Rest Cross-Stitching Project - Emmett Idaho Photographer

Now that the All Is Vanity project is completed and sent to my friend, I have started another cross-stitching project. This one has a bit of history to it. See, many years ago (no kidding, like over 6 or 7 years ago) I started this same cross-stitch pattern for my best friend Janet. She had seen the progress of it here and there and anxiously awaited its completion. Fast forward to my moving to Idaho........I lost it. Yes...I lost the more than halfway done cross-stitching project for my best friend. I kept searching and searching in boxes and cabinets for it while I working on the All Is Vanity project but alas it was lost. :(  I promised Janet that once I was done with the All Is Vanity that I'd re-start her Butterfly At Rest and she'd have it soon (secretly hoping by Christmas 2010).

So I started working on this beautiful project. It's a nice transition using lots of beautiful colors now as opposed to the black & white & gray tones from the All Is Vanity.

I started the Butterfly At Rest Project in May (don't remember the exact date, but I know it was towards the beginning of May). It killed me to start with a clean slate again knowing how far I had been on it before, but alas it is for my best friend of over 20 years so she's worth it!!

Starting with a clean slate.....

As of May 28, 2010 I had completed almost 1/6th of this beautiful project....

Now take a look at it. June 28th and I'm practically 1/3 done with it (minus the outlining/backstitching). It's starting to take beautiful shape now and check out the colors!!! P.S. Sorry for the glaring TV screen behind the canvas.

These pics were taken with my dinky 2MP cell phone camera so please don't judge on the quality of the photos ;)
