David, Emmett High Class of 2011 - Emmett, ID Senior Photographer

When I first met David, he was the typical senior boy....not really caring about his senior pics but it's what Mom wanted so he was going along. Then we started to talk about where to shoot and what to bring. His eyes lit up when I told him that I'd love to shoot him with his love; his El Camino.




And now for his other "loves"....skate board, golf, shooting, and can't forget eating






And one of David's favorite things to do......HAVE FUN!!!!!





Now that you've had a good laugh.....here are some of the "nicer" photos of David that his Mom cherishes











Now for a glimpse into David........

Christina, Bishop Kelly High Class of 2011 - Boise, ID Senior Photographer

Christina is one of those girls that all photographers love. She had all the moves, looks, style, and attitude down. She was game for whatever I wanted her to do including climbing things, sitting on the wet ground, laying on dirt in her prom dress, and more. I literally could not take a bad shot of her. We started out with the weather not being too bad; soft clouds with barely any sprinkling going on. Then it soon started to rain heavily on us. We took cover under some stairs and in the cars but soon the rain parted and we were able to get some beautiful sunshine. Then the clouds came rolling in again. So we called it quits and decided to finish her session the following weekend (good thing too because we had much better weather the following weekend!).

















Here are Christina's favorites (some are mine too).....







And now, a glimpse into Christina...............
My name is Christina Gado
My nickname is Tina
I go to school at Bishop Kelly
My favorite class is Sports Medicine
My favorite color is red
My favorite website is facebook
I love to listen to Eminem
My all-time favorite movie is Wanted
I never leave home without my phone and ipod
After I graduate I want to study medicine
Dead or alive, who would you like to meet and why? Eminem because he is strongly opinionated and his music is amazing.
Who is your role model and why? Strong women in general because it is inspirational and a good quality to have.
I chose Barbara Walker Photography for my Senior Portraits because Miranda told me about her and I really like the way her pictures turned out.

Carmen, Emmett High Class of 2011 - Emmett, ID Senior Photographer

Carmen came across my photography when viewing her friend Madisen's Senior Portraits. I loved that she had her own ideas for her portraits and was really excited to get her portraits taken.

Carmen is a phenomenal artist. She brought a few samples of her artistic work and I was in awe of her talent. I even got to watch her paint too (but I'm not going to show those pics). She has such a beautiful smile that lights up even more than normal when talking about her painting.





 





 Thank you Carmen. I had such a fun time with you and your Mom and hope that you enjoy your Senior Portraits.

P.S. I wonder how far the balloons traveled ;)

Just a personal note

I have been horrible this month! The last post was on the 1st?!!! Awww man I'm WAY behind.

Life has been good to me this month. I've been keeping very busy. I went to training for Relay For Life in the middle of the month and the spirit of it all was very catching. I'm stoked about being a volunteer for the 2011 Gem Relay For Life and can't wait to get started with signing up teams and getting them stoked for an awesome Relay. Been really busy working on the Gem County Calendar too. I was asked to lend my design skills (which I really didn't think I had) to create the 2011 Gem Calendar showcasing all the winners of the monthly facebook photo contests. It's turning out pretty cool and I'm having fun creating it. Lots of hard work for a great community.

Speaking of community....Emmett is truly an awesome place to live. I've lived in "family friendly" communities before but this place is tops in my world. This community really comes together and everyone helps each other out. I am truly blessed that my life has taken me to this town.

Time keeps flying away from me so this is the end of my quick note. My apologies for not keeping up this month. November's special is underway and that'll be announced soon. And November will be filled with postings...I promise!

Relay For Life 2010 - Emmett, Idaho Special Event Photographer

Do you Relay? I do!

I have been involved with the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life for a few years now and each year just amazes me with such inspiration. I was honored to be asked to photograph this year's Gem County Relay For Life at Emmett City Park.

Instead of going on and on with my personal story of why I Relay, I'll let the video speak volumes to you and hopefully inspire you too to Relay.
