Issie – Winter Session

by Leave a Comment

Season 3 of 4 for this senior!

That much closer to graduation! She has really grown up and become quite the young women over the last 9 months. She is more confident! She sees her beauty that we all see. She has had so much fun capturing these fun memories during such a big milestone in life. Her next session will be spring time. I hope we can sneak in a family portrait at that time if big brother comes home from college for a few days.

For her “winter” session she wanted to be more relaxed with her hair and outfits. I loved the scrunchie on her wrist, I loved her outfits, I loved her hair, and I mostly love her personality!

Season Seniors is a fun way to capture senior year. We do four mini sessions, one in each season. We meet for a planning session in May or June, at the end of their Junior year/summer before senior year to start planning. We go over all the details and what to expect. Do you plan on having your senior do “senior seasons” with me this year? If so, please book a “planning session” here (scroll over to May): https://directory.bookedin.com/photography-by-kam

Do you have any questions about this offer? Just message me, I’m happy to answer them!

See you in the spring, Issie!

Fall and Winter were his choices for senior portraits! I like his style!

His Fall pictures he had a mustache and winter he shaved it off! This kid is just a treat to be around. He is so funny! Like most boys, I was able to bribe his smiles with food talk. I had his favorite snacks for when we were done! haha I’m all about bribery when it comes to pictures!

We were headed up the mountain for his senior portraits and it was so pretty and clear and then at the top it was super foggy!! UHG! We did our best and got a few shots on the chairlift and skiing down but ended up going up a second time to a bluebird day. We waited a bit for the sun to be at the perfect angle and ended up with some amazing shots of him.

Enjoy the rest of your senior year, Carter! Thank you for being you! You are one cool kid!!

It has been a long while since I had a newborn in the studio!
I have actually turned them down many times the last few years. This beautiful family was given the perfect gift though, a gift card for portraits! They chose newborn portraits! I did have one rule though, the diaper stays on the whole time. haha

Meet little Clarke…he is so sweet! He loves the touch of his mommy and the warmth of his daddy. He loves his hands free and his toes spread wide!

He is such a sweet addition to this family. But as we all learn with newborns, lack of sleep is in the cards. As I was getting the last shot of Clarke with the hat and blue wrap, I looked over and his tired mama was sound asleep in the most uncomfortable looking position on the couch. It was so great to see her get a much needed nap in. As much as we sit and stare at these sweet angels and it’s easily said that all they do is eat, sleep and go potty…it just isn’t true. It’s a BIG job that is so rewarding but so exhausting.

I tell everyone to try and enjoy every minute, even in exhaustion because it goes by so fast. One day they won’t remember that he was this tiny. Suddenly…one day they are a senior in high school and you are asking yourself, where did the time go?

I’m so thankful that the priceless gift of a gift card for family portraits was given to this family. The gift that truly keeps on giving. This new family of three now has professional portraits to look back on and remember these days.

Comment with the age of your “baby” or “babies”…can you believe they were once this tiny??

Do you just have love for a few specific seasons? Do you love all the seasons? How about two seasons like this beautiful Capital High Senior??

Ashley is one beautiful girl, inside and out! We captured her in the Fall with the Fall colors. Ashley loves welding!! How bad @ss is that?!!!? So, of course we captured her in her welding attire! She is so photogenic! Look at those lips! Such a natural in front of the camera even though I’m pretty sure she wasn’t super excited to be in front of the camera! No one really is until they get a few shots under their belt and then let loose and have some fun!

Ashley is a ski instructor at Bogus so you know she spends many weekends and holidays on the mountain teaching your kids! We had to capture her in her happy place! What a magical location!! Don’t you think???

Enjoy the rest of your senior year, Ashley! It was a honor to capture YOU as you finish high school and approach your adult life!

Comment below on your favorite season!
My favorite season? I’m with Ashley on this one…Fall and Winter make the most beautiful backdrop and some of my favorite outdoor activities, mountain biking and snow boarding! Punxsutawney Phil…your prediction may be wrong this year.

Meet Rylee P…

She chose winter…and I think it was a perfect choice!!!

Meet Rylee! She spells it just like my Rylee! So fun! Rylee is a senior at Idaho City. So, of course we met up in Idaho City to capture her! Who she is now!

Rylee loves to play Volleyball and has a special place in her heart for her silly dog, Bo! Rylee is a quiet and somewhat shy kid but I managed to get some real genuine smiles out of her. I also got some of those, “are you kidding” looks! haha Nope not kidding! Lay down, sit down, get on your back, lay on your stomach, sit on that snowy cold fence, walk through the deep snow…hahaha She was a trooper!

It was an honor to photograph Rylee in her home town! Enjoy the rest of your senior year, Rylee! Have so much fun! It goes by way too fast! Whatever you decide to do in life, make sure it makes you happy!
