So thankful for the referral of this amazing family years ago! Each year we update this beautiful family and each year we aim for a new location.

With illnesses and bad weather we rescheduled to this beautiful day! No coincidence here! It was meant to be! We were blessed with fresh snow in the valley, happy kids and cooperating pets!

All the colors, the depth, the textures…oh my! Of course the kids gave mom and dad a hard time about getting pictures “again” but they all had fun and don’t let them tell you differently. They had hot chocolate, held hands, played ring around the rosie and threw snow. Nothing but smiles this day!!

Always an honor to photograph these guys! Always belly laughs and so fun to see these kids literally grow up in front of my lens. Thank you, Fineman family! I got to hang a beautiful canvas cluster of these images in their clinic, Paramount Animal Care. So if you take your pet there, you will see these images in print! My favorite!

Are you ready to get family portraits?

Anyone ready for the blooming trees, green grass, sun on the skin and toes in the water?

This beautiful family is an example of a gorgeous spring, leading into summer session! I’m not sure how I missed sharing these beautiful faces last year, but I did! But how perfect to share now on this warm spring day in Boise today! I mean, after all there are the 12 seasons of Idaho and may opinion on what season we are currently in below. #funnynotfunny

Hang in there friends and enjoy every season because it will be over before we know it. I am going to enjoy winter at least one more weekend photographing seniors and families in the snow. Snow in the mountains all week! So beautiful!

But if you are looking to get spring photos, it’s time to start planning. I personally think spring photos in Boise are May through June. And then of course in April we will be in the tulip fields in Oregon. So many options! Let’s talk!

This crazy crew is one of a kind amazing! If you know this family, you know what I am talking about. It has been fun getting to know them. We met seven years ago when all our kids were in BYRDS. Then swim team in the summer where the kids swam in circles, yes, a circular pool! haha And now Carolyn is one of my favorite mountain bike buddies. We typically see eachother on the trails or in Hyde Park for a beer. Either location, we always have fun! It only seemed appropriate to capture their family in the foothills where they love to be. It was a perfect spring evening, beautiful people and a beautiful backdrop!

I was honored to be asked by another photographer to photograph their family, in their home, with their kids and dogs. It was a beautiful morning on January 13, 2015. We had wonderful natural light coming in the windows as this family snuggled their dogs before they had to say their final goodbye’s on January 16, 2015. Maddox and Abby have been a very big part of this family. Maddox had bone cancer and Abby had muscular myositis and complications from the treatment resulting in liver failure. Thank you Jussel family for trusting me with your memories!
