The wonderful Pennington Family! Some of these awesome people come to our annual Little Heroes Fundraiser and a few other events throughout the year so it was so awesome to meet the rest of the family! They were spicy and fun!
We had a wonderful morning in the foothills capturing this family. We captured the entire family, each individual family, grandparents together and with the grandkids and cousins! You won’t regret a session like this! Such amazing memories captured!
I get to photograph Kai and Sammi every year, sometime with their moms, and sometimes just the two of them. This year was just the kiddos and boy was it a beautiful evening! The colors, the reflections…wow!!
I have had the pleasure of watching these kiddos grow up for probably at least the last six years, if not longer. I have watched them both race mountain bikes, graduate, and it’s always fun hearing what they have been up to. They are always giving each other a hard time and at the same time they are each others biggest fan! The life of twins!
Thanks Sammi & Kai…Have an awesome year! See you in the fall!
To know the Beach family, you know love, kindness, and genuinely good people!
Our relationship started on Tami’s birthday in December of 2021. Tami stopped by for some updated headshots before joining her family for birthday dinner. I loved her energy, and loved her genuine kindness. Fast forward to 2022 and she has two daughters graduating and one that recently got married. We met for a planning session and planned Katie’s session as she was graduating from BSU (her photos will be shared tomorrow). We also planned a family session (current post) to be held a day before her graduation while big sis was in town with her husband. And then we also planned Megan’s high school senior photos (will be shared on Sunday) as she is graduating in spring 2023. So much to celebrate, so much to document, so many relationships and BIG memories that just cannot be skipped!
I can’t wait to hang their wall portraits (see last photo). This is what we designed for their wall! The picture is exact size on their wall, pretty cool huh!?!
Snow Sessions!! ❄️⛄
We are booking for Winter and don’t want you to miss your chance to get your family or high school senior in front of my camera during the magical season of winter!
Seriously! One of my favorite seasons. I have all the tips and tricks to make it enjoyable and warm! That’s right!! I’m kind of a unicorn.
We actually booked all dates we thought we could offer but since those booked up we decided to open up a few more dates! Woohooo! Here’s your sign to get booked!
We will start with a planning session in person in my North Boise office that takes about 45 minutes. We go over all the things…your goals, products, pricing, location, clothing, etc…
Get your planning session booked! Message Kam today!
Can’t wait to hear from you!
His favorite color was purple. He was a remarkable kiddo that never got a chance to meet his little sisters on earth but I have a feeling he knows them otherwise. Although he wasn’t here on earth to be part of family pictures, he was certainly talked about, remembered and we all felt his presence during this beautiful evening, this beautiful session. Notice the bracelets…”We love you JJ Harper”. 💜💜💜💜💜
To say pictures are important for this family, is an understatement. I was welcomed into their home to hang their portraits and felt nothing but warmth and love as I walked around their home and enjoyed all their pictures that go back for many years! If you know this family, you know how amazing they are! They are beautiful people, inside and out! How do I get so lucky to work with so many great people??!!
When Amy came to me for a planning session we had a great time planning this session and we cried together multiple times throughout the experience. It was so great to capture them with grandma, with the babies and the entire experience including JJ someway, somehow.
We ended up putting a beautiful grouping on Amy’s wall and also on grandma’s wall. Family is art and all of it looks so amazing and no doubt these wall portraits bring a smile to them daily, multiple times a day! This makes my heart so happy!!
Thank you Amy and Brian for choosing me to capture your family. I loved working with you and love all your babies!
Who are my friends who love to color? I LOVE to color! So when Shelley Hodges came in for a planning session and she revealed her amazing color book, I was so excited. She wanted family portraits but to also feature her coloring book as she is a family girl through and through. So we decided that a branding session was ideal and that is what we did. We spent one hour downtown capturing her colorful and fun little family!
If you have ever met Shelley, you know she has a cute southern accent and her energy is so fun! You just want to hang out with her! Her coloring book is so clever! If you love Boise, check it out! I sent one to my daughter in college in Colorado. She misses home and this was a fun way for her to color the iconic locations in Boise.
Shelley even designed our coloring page for our Little Heroes Fundraiser Event. Of course we had to have a coloring contest and of course the winners won one of her coloring books! Coloring and puzzles are one of my favorite things to do before bed. Hey Shelley, how about puzzles with your art??? I think I’m onto something! 😉
Boise friends…check out her coloring book for your college kid that is out of town or what a great stocking stuffer! You can find it on Amazon and if you follow her page on Instagram, she shares local locations that carry it as well! So fun!
When clients become friends and family! I get to photograph this beautiful family every year! If you know this family, you know they are extraordinary people, inside and out! I love that they appreciate and value getting their family portraits updated each year. Every year I try to get them to go some extra fun, crazy place but they like to keep it close! That’s okay, I will talk them into it one day. 😉 I have watched these awesome kids grow up for years now, starting with little stuffed animals that had to be in the pictures to now their full cooperation with a few distractions but so expected! Little guy got grass stains on his knees right off the bat but mom says, that’s who he is, no worries! I agree with her! I have pictures of my girls together when they were one and three and it used to bother me that I didn’t edit out their bruises on their shins, but today I am thankful I didn’t! After all, that is how shins on a toddler look! And I miss those days! The saying of the days are long but the years are short is such a true statement! So take those pictures, enjoy the moments and don’t blink!!
We are baaaaaack!! What a fall season that was! Anyone else feel like the year crept by and then BAM we are getting ready for Christmas??!!!
I want to share this cute little family today. Dad hates (not using this word lightly) pictures but he came, he conquered and though he may never admit it, I think he had a little fun! No matter what feelings were had, the pictures show love, friendship, compassion, and family! It was a very warm evening but with cool beverages and willing hearts, I would have to say they nailed it! I have never shot at the botanical gardens before but after this magical evening, I will be back! So beautiful!! I love the added touches of flowers to bring all their outfits together, I love the colors they chose and I am a huge fan of the wall portraits they ordered and I hung on their walls. I only show one of the groupings in this post, the other grouping was up a staircase and I was literally sweating bullets. I had a tall ladder, a plank and my cute little toolbox and tools. But you see, I’m SO afraid of heights. But I did it, both groupings look absolutely amazing on their walls and I have no doubt they all smile when they walk by them every day!
Thank you, Nicolas family! Loved that I was chosen to capture your memories and relationships!
Some sibling love in front of my camera!
When big sis is about to head out to college, you get a few fun shots together to enjoy until you can see one another again! It’s not goodbye, it’s “see ya later”!!
Bella was one of our 2022 graduate season seniors. Her last session included family at a location that has so much meaning to their family, Botanical Gardens. What a magical evening we had!!
This share is part 1 of 2 because I love their images so much and because I felt like although one session, it tells two different stories. Notice the last images. This is a canvas cluster that looks beautiful hung just about anywhere but more particularly up a stairway. This grouping is just of the kiddos together and I LOVE how it turned out! The picture is actually a picture straight out of the program I use to show you your pictures on your walls exact size! Cool huh?? Well, today I am actually hanging these for the Nicolas family! So fun to see these in real life!
At this point, Bella is away to college figuring out her new life and her family is now a family of three at home and are trying to figure out their new normal. I have been through it and I can tell you it is all the emotions! Hope college is amazing, Bella! I know your family misses you like crazy!
I say it over and over, my passion is capturing family memories and relationships and the icing on top is capturing them at a location that has meaning. This session with the Lee family was so amazing! We had epic skies, beautiful family, and gorgeous weather at this private waterski lake. The Lee family spends their days at this lake so it only made sense to capture them there!
Sam booked this session as a gift to his wife for their 25th anniversary! It’s that cool??!!!! Now they have these beautiful memories and soon I will be hanging their large wall portraits on their wall! I love seeing them in print!
If your family were to be photographed at a special place, where would that be?
Family pictures look different for everyone. I LOVE the pictures I had done of my girls and I after my divorce. They are a sign of a new beginning. Don’t get me wrong, divorce sucks but the pictures of my girls and I were a fresh new step. They were a sign of moving forward. So when Angela came to me for pictures with little Hazel, it brought me back 12 years ago with my girls.
I love these images of Angela and Hazel, oh…and of course Jude the dog! You FEEL their special connection. You FEEL their love! You see their strength for their new normal, their new life.
I can’t wait to hang these pictures on their walls for them to enjoy every day in their home! There is something about having printed images on your walls! I have an awesome program that shows you your images on your walls, exact size! I have so many ideas and shoot for your goals! Are you ready to update your family portraits yet?
