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 :)
