Posted No Trespassing

Okay, sometimes you have to trespass... a little, to get the good shots. :)

This place is being torn down... It was a great place to take photos.
This is some glass that caught my eye. Sometimes there is a certain beauty in destruction.

This is wire... it is beautiful! I reall love this photo.

Rod and Randee

Meet Rod and Randee...
It was very fun to photograph them, although I do have to say I was a little nervous at first because it was my first time shadowing my mentor Kam Taylor. I wanted to do a good job not only for me, but for her... I didn't want to let her down.


They got married in a hot air balloon!!

Thanks, Rod and Randee, for the great session!!

Awe, I love this photo. I think it is the way they lean into one another. Rod said he doesn't smile much, but I think he saves those smiles for Randee!

The Brouwers Family

Here are some shots of a wonderful family!! We went to visit them in North Idaho... it is a beautiful place for sure!

Here is another shot of our friends! I asked them to take off their shoes. Dad, on the left, kicked off just one boot! :) I love it!!!








From Little a Town to the Big City

These kids are from a little town called Peirce, ID. Whenever they come we always try to do something fun that they can only do in Boise. So, we went to the Boise Train Depot. It is a great place to take photos and the view looking out over the front lawn in the Capitol Building.



Here is Chase looking at a bug he found. It was hard to get him and his brother and sister to hold still long enough for a photo, much less a session, but we finally got the shots and it was a fun day with old friends!

A Boy at the Park

The sun was out and so was school...sort of...



This photo was taken at Katherine Albertsons Park... or more commonly known as "the picture park." It was a hookie day from school that was appreciated by a mother and a son.





Tulips and Aspen

This photo is great because my daughter just finished painting. There is paint on her hand and chips in her nail polish... that is her to a T. :)




These were taken in Post Falls, ID at my grandmother's house. Her tulips are, as always, beautiful. My daughter picked them, much to my chagrin, but they made for a great session with her. She had fun and that always makes for great shots.



The Things We Often Miss


This photo is one of my favorites. I was walking home after I dropped my daughter off at the bus stop, the sprinklers had just gone off leaving behind these wonderful water drops on the leaves of my lillies. Sometimes beauty is in the simplest things we walk by everyday and never notice.

Just Getting Started


I have had fun over the last months getting out, taking photos, and working with my friend and mentor Kam Taylor! Now, is the time to make my dream of having a successful photography business a reality. I know they say, "Baby steps", but in my case I just have to take the leap out of the nest and get it going. Thank you to all of you who read this blog and all of you who have given me gentile (or not so gentle) pushes... I need those.

I will be posting photos and information regarding them soon... keep on the look out!!

Have a great day!!
