Baby A…

Baby A, you are so loved…

I arrived at the butterfly room to meet baby A and his family. He was born at 38 weeks, but had a lot of medical problems that only allowed him a few short hours on earth. He passed away peacefully during the session.

I am not allowed to share names or full images so I got creative to share enough. My favorite image is with the butterflies. I think butterflies are a beautiful sign to let us know our loved ones are with us in spirit.

Please say a little prayer for this family. They lost their sweet baby. We are so thankful we were able to go into the hospital to take these images for them.

Oliver…Bikes and Beans

Bikes.

Beans.

Awesome kid.

This combo makes for a pretty epic senior session. Oliver loves skiing and mountain biking. He is a hard worker and works hard for the things he wants. It made sense to get a job that is in line with your interests. Oliver started at Bikes & Beans as a barista and is now a bike mechanic. You can see in these images that he truly loves working on others bikes and keeping his bike tuned up. I got to capture Oliver bleeding his brakes, drinking a cup of coffee that he made, and cleaning his chain. I personally love the details in the images and the pride and joy you see in his face. I love the moodiness of the black and white and being someone that loves bikes, I really loved this session.

This session was one of two sessions for Oliver. His next session is actually in the foothills on his bike next month. It’s very important to me to capture these kids in their element, capturing things they love. The foothills is where Oliver spends a lot of time. So capturing him in a few outfits by himself and also on his bike in the foothills is so perfect. One day these kids will look back at their senior portraits and either still have the same interests or hobbies or giggle at the ones they had.

Thank you, Oliver for choosing me to capture you. Love ya, kid!

Tim & Christine w/ sweet baby Sylas…

Kids are grown up and moved out, so Tim and Christine are empty nesters with a puppy! Yes, this big boy is a puppy!

Amazing how time flies! I met Christine many years ago when I took pictures for PAL. Remember them? Are they still around? This session was such a beautiful, respectful way to capture the bond of husband and wife. Best of friends, loyal companions. I have so much respect for this.

I loved working with these two and hope to capture their entire crew next year in the snow. There is just something magical about the snow. Do you agree?

I photographed my last sessions in the snow last night. It’s bitter sweet but how lucky are we to have four seasons in Idaho? Every season has it’s own kind of beauty.

We are booking out this year and truly only have a handful of dates left for evening spring sessions. We have started booking mornings at some locations.

What season are you planning on updating your family portraits?

Garrett in the Winter…

Garrett has ONE more session left in his Season Senior series! When he signed up at the beginning, he signed up for two seasons…but when we finished his first session, his parents said, “sign us up for all four seasons”!! haha Okay!! We have captured so much to feature this awesome kid! All of his changes throughout the year, all of his hobbies and interests and he might even enjoy being in front of the camera now. We captured Garrett in the snow with his dog, his family, his girlfriend and of course just him! Always a good time!

Are you interested in your 2022 senior being a part of our “Season Senior Tribe”?? The time is approaching to get on the list! There are two ways to get on the list…
1. click the link in my bio and book a “planning session” for the end of May or beginning of June (make sure you mention Season Senior interest in the comments)
2. DM Kam and she will add you to the list and get a hold of you as it gets closer.

One session to fours sessions! What is your cup of tea? Time to start thinking about this, class of 2022!

Such an honor to go to this day school and update pictures of these kiddos!!

My girls are both in high school and going to this day school gave me a little reminder how little my girls once were. Hard to remember this age. The food on their faces, cute outfits, boogers in the nose, shoes on the wrong feet…oh my heart! Loved it all!!

Here are a few of my favorites. I hope you love them too!!
