Simply Beautiful

Meet Ashly. She is a hair and makeup stylist at Hair International in Boise! She asked me to do a few head shots for her. It was hard for pick only 6!

Thanks Ashly (and Nick) for allowing me to help in the pursuit of your dreams!

These are not in order of favorites... however I do LOVE #2! It was my favorite right out of the camera!!

A New Spot On Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was such a beautiful day this year I wanted to get out and take some new photos of my kiddos. So, I went to a new spot (thanks Kam) and wouldn't you know it the light was great and my kids had resigned themselves to letting me take their pics... what good kids! :)

My son is getting so big! Just last week I had the sad realization that he is taller than me! He had to look down a little bit to say, "Good morning Mom." Wow, I am not sure how I feel about that, but what can a mom do?



My daughter is a great sport when it comes to getting pics of her. She does what I say and makes it look so natural. She is a beauty inside and out!





Here they are, my kids. They are two of the best people I have ever met. They are kind, considerate, and helpful. I am a blessed momma!

A Dreamer... and a new tattoo.

I was asked by a friend (and beautician, Heather from Hair International) to do a session for her nephew. She said he is an aspiring model. I thought, "That's cool!" So we made a plan. I asked my little sister to help out - she did a great job but, she will never have a lighting job! :)

This is Justin. He is a great kid and was fun to work with. He did everything we asked with a sense of humor and a great smile! Thanks Justin for being willing to be cold, just cold....never purple!! :)

Enjoy.

5 Year Pics and A Little Trespassing...

This is my cousin's oldest daughter, Katelyn. She is a beautiful 5 year old as you can see.
We took these pics at one of my favorite spots and yes, we were trespassing... a little... Katelyn asked at the end of the session, when she hears sirens, if it was the police coming! She is a smart cookie... not to worry it was a fire truck going past where we were.
She did a great job doing everything I asked her to do. It was a fun session!

Thanks, Suz, for another beautiful session of photographing your kiddos.... now for the hard part...deciding which ones to print! Good luck!

My Baby Sisters

These are some pictures I took of my baby sisters at one of my favorite spots here in Boise.

Katelyn is so beautiful!!
And so is Alyssa!
Dandelions are fun!!

Kids and a Wine Barrel

This was a spur of the moment shoot I did with my kids and a new prop... a wine barrel. I thought, when I got it, that it would be a cool prop... that "I would use it all the time." But after hauling it, rolling it, and trying to get it onto place.... it will just be upon request!



I am glad my friend, Kam, was there to help my haul it, move it, and place it! THANKS KAM!


I love these pics! The setting is great and so are the kids!
