I love kids. Under a year old is some of the greatest stages to capture in a child. Donna (Evan's Mom) was visiting Emmett and Boise to see family and friends and wanted some updated photos taken. He was such a cutie! Definitely not a shy one, and those eyes....my goodness he's gunna swoon the girls with those baby blues.
Here's a slideshow of the fun we had

Spaces are filling up quick for my 2010 Holiday Mini Sessions - {Emmett, ID Holiday and Christmas Card Photographer}
With this heat wave we are having it sure doesn't seem like it should be fall, let alone start thinking ahead to Christmas. I do assure you that it is in fact fall and almost October already and that the Holidays are coming just around the corner. There are only 57 more days til Thanksgiving, 63 more days til Hanukkah, and 87 more days til Christmas. It may seem like alot of days and time, but time sure does seem to go fast these days.
My 2010 Holiday Mini Session were announced a few weeks ago and are booking up quick. Below I reposted the information and now you can see the days and times that are still open. I would suggest booking immediately before they are all booked and this awesome special goes away for another year. (click on image below to enlarge)
What are Holiday Mini Sessions? Holiday Mini Sessions are a client favorite because each collection is offered at a great discount and are ONLY available during the days and times specified. Mini sessions are short 25 minute sessions designed to capture a few fabulous images for your holiday cards & gifts. They do not include slideshow and one-on-one image proof presentation. All sessions are by appointment only, are limited to certain days and times, and book fast.......so call immediately! (For faq's, click here and scroll to the bottom of the post).

Sept. Special being postponed til October - Emmett, Idaho Photographer
9/11 was a very sad day for me this year. I personally don't know anyone that lost their life on the 9/11 attacks but it's still a day of remembering for me. Each year I pray for those lost and their families.
Well this year hit me even harder. My Aunt lost her battle on breast cancer. She was diagnosed over 10 years ago and immediately chose to fight it. She did what she had to do and rocked the battle for many years. There are two people that I Relay for (American Cancer Society Relay For Life) and Melanie was one (my Dad is the other). Aunt Melanie gave me inspiration each and every time I saw her and I admired her fight to live. As you read, her fight was cut short. So I will be traveling to California to be with family and to attend her funeral.
Because of my traveling, the September 2010 Special is now being postponed.It will continue into October so that my families can take advantage of this awesome deal for their family sessions. I have stopped taking bookings for the rest of September 2010 and will not be back into Idaho til October 9th. There are dates already booked in October so if you want to take advantage of this awesome family special, contact me immediately to secure your shooting date.
So what's the Special again? Book a family session during the month of October 2010, and receive your choice of 1 16x20 Metallic Finish Float Wrap OR 1 5x5 Custom Storybook Album for FREE. That's right....FREE! THAT'S A $350 VALUE FOR FREE!!!!!!!
AND NOW FOR AN ADDITIONAL GOODY!!!! Take advantage of this special and secure your October family booking by October 2nd and you'll receive a set of 24 5x7 Single-Sided Customized Holiday Cards with envelopes for free (a $48 value). Yes, you read that right....a complimentary set of Holiday Cards showcasing your favorite images from your family session for free (remember, session fee must be paid in full in order to secure your shooting date).
Here's the fine print......
Family session must be booked and shot during the month of October 2010. Gift certificates, referral cards, and holiday mini special cannot be combined with this special. This particular family session special is ONLY for single families; meaning single parent with their child(ren), parents with their child(ren), and yes stepparents and stepchildren are part of the family too. Your choice of the 16x20 Float Wrap or 5x5 Storybook Album and the Holiday Cards must be ordered during the proofing/ordering session. If your proofing/ordering session happens to be booked in November, you can only partake in this October 2010 special and not the November 2010 special.

Patricia, Middleton High Class of 2011 - Middleton, Idaho Senior Photographer
I love my clients! They refer me to all their friends and family! And this is how I met Patricia. She contacted me immediately after Karen had hers taken and her photos were uploaded onto facebook.
Patricia has the coolest family friends. She had 2 friends that offered their houses and surroundings to us specifically for her shoot (now that's some good friends!). Right in the beginning of shooting we were interrupted by mother nature. There were dragonflies all over the pond and one finally landed and stayed long enough for me to focus and capture this awesome shot
OK...back to Patricia. Patricia is a beautiful girl. She was shy at first but after about 5 or 6 shots she finally let go of that shyness and was laughing it up for the rest of her session.
I love to shoot seniors that are open to my quarky way of seeing something and telling them that I want to shoot them with it. That's what happened with Patricia and a barrel. There was an old barrel laying on its side. It looked like it had been there for years and was full of spider webs and dirt. When I showed Patricia the barrel she looked at me weird but trusted me. This is what came of that weird barrel.
Then there was the hay bales and the camaro and the tire swing that we saw and of course just HAD to get some shots.
Don't you just love her pink heels? I loved how they contrasted perfectly with the pristine blue camaro!
I am so proud of Patricia too. Patricia is a young mother and has managed to take such great care of her son all while staying in school and is going to graduate on time with her class. That takes alot of discipline and hard work and I'm proud that Patricia is so focused and determined. Michael (Patricia's 9 month old son) is so cute. He was just starting to try to take his first steps but would give up and crawl instead so I captured a few shots with Patricia and her son.
Isn't her collage awesome?!!!!!
And now....a glimpse into Patricia

Rain rain go away.....but let the rainbows stay! - Emmett, Idaho Photographer
I was sitting on the living room couch working on a Sudoku game when a bright light caught my eye. It wasn't a flash of light, it was a constant bright light and it was bugging me. So I take a look out the window and my eyes about bulged out of my head.
I run downstairs, grab the camera, slip on my shoes the best I could not caring that they weren't completely on but enough so my socks and feet don't get wet from the rain soaked cement, and start photographing.
OH MY GOODNESS.....the most brightest and gorgeous rainbow! Then I see the second rainbow above the bright one. A double rainbow!! And it's right above my house!!!!

(I absolutely love how the above shot tricks the eye to believe that the colors of the rainbow are dripping as it keeps raining)
Today was a first for me - Emmett, Idaho Senior Photographer
Today was a first for me in my photography business. I've been photographing High School Seniors for quite some time now and I've shot them with lots of "props". From the class ring to their car to climbing a silo to the railroad tracks, but today was a first for me shooting a senior with her horse.
I was nervous at first. At least I admit it! I'm not nervous around horses, as a matter of fact I really love them. I always wanted one {{insert here in a whiny voice "Daddy, I want a pony for Christmas."}}. I was just nervous because I've never photographed a horse up close and I personally don't have experience with a horse and know their behaviors. I went into the shoot with a plan, but Ria (Chyenne's horse) had plans of her own. She didn't want to cooperate right from the start. She wasn't bucking or anything like that, she just didn't want to be photographed showing her beautiful mane and then she didn't want to go into the water. I think it was more of that the rocks probably wasn't the best stability for her than the water being chilly; but what do I know?
I was able to capture some beautiful shots with Chyenne and Ria and will share those much later when Chyenne has her other sessions that'll take place next month. But I just had to share with you this great shot of Ria giving Chyenne a hug........

Brittany, Emmett High Class of 2011 - Emmett, Idaho Senior Photographer
Brittany had sent in an application to me to become a Senior Rep right after she saw my ad in the Emmett High yearbook. After reading her app I realized that we had alot in common and knew that she was the right person for the "job".
When we met for her consultation, I had asked her about her racing. Her face just lit up like a Christmas tree. This beautiful, young lady has a passion beyond belief for racing her sprint car PLUS her dirt bike.
Brittany is such a fun girl to be around. I was raised around racing so we "talked shop" alot. She was up to anything that I wanted to do; which of course makes my job so much easier. At first she was a little shy being in front of the camera, but she warmed up to it quickly.....especially after I got her into the water!
HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE EYES??!!!! No, they aren't colored contacts....those are her real eye color. I'm jealous!!
We took a break in between locations to drop off her trailer with her dirt bike on it and her little brother saw us. He was staring at us through the window and I turned and got a picture of him. He didn't like it and let me know it. So Brittany's Mom let him come out with us to see what the commotion was and I was able to bribe him to like me with some candy. I always have lollipops and Smarties candy in my camera bag ;) He finally liked me and wanted to have his picture taken with his big sis.
Here are a couple more pics that are Brittany and her Mom's favorites.
Thank you Brittany! I had such a blast with you and your Mom (and of course Sam too). I hope you enjoy your Senior year and I look forward to working with you this year. By the way.....you better invite me to one of your races!
Check out her video!!
