“Talk to me Goose”…what movie?? One of my all time favorites!! Comment with your favorite quote from the movie…I have so many!!

Little miss Brynna’s fall session was a success. Her mom looked through my blog and asked if I still had access to this place. I had only shot here one other time and kind of forgot about it since it had been years since I was there last! I was beyond excited to go again and even more excited when Brynna sent me her outfits! Nailed it!!!

Another persons junk is someone else’s treasure. This place may be junk to some but it is an absolute gorgeous and unique location to me and obviously Brynna.

It’s crazy to think that this girl is half way done with her Season Senior Sessions. Is it me or does each year go by faster and faster? Time. Slow. Down!

Thanks for being fun and adventurous and feeding my creative soul, Brynna! You rocked it, girl! See you in the snow!

Look at this beauty!! Not only is she super talented and have lots of fun hobbies, she is freaking gorgeous! That hair, that smile, the kindness in her eyes! She truly is all of it!

This girl loves some steam punk, loves to read, plays piano, a magician baker, snow skiing and plays violin. We captured it all! We started in the studio yard and ended in the foothills for a few more shots of Paige and then a few family portraits. It was a beautiful night!

I am not one that likes the kitchen at all. So I do appreciate people that do. So when Paige showed up with homemade cupcakes for me at her ordering session, I was beyond thankful! I got two flavors. Last night I cut off a small piece of one thinking I will just have one bite! bwahahahaha Nope! The flavor was too good to stop! Ginger Molasses! SO GOOD! The other flavor is tara massu and that one will be taste tested after lunch. Hopefully my husband shares it with me.

Guess what?? I just got delivered another box! Just now! Oh my goodness! Seriously so appreciated! So good! If anyone would love to try one, please stop by! I will share! Maybe Paige is for hire to make cupcakes or a cake for your next event??? I appreciate not only a beautifully baked good but one that tastes amazing! Paige nailed it! Thank you, Paige!

I can only imagine she is also just as talented in all of her other hobbies. I hope she looks back at these pictures one day and either still has the same hobbies or gets a big smile on her face over the ones she no longer does but a great memory for sure!

Time flies! Capture the memories! That is exactly what we did with Paige. Have an awesome senior year, Paige!

Meet Miss Tayla…
Tayla has decided to take advantage of our Season Senior Sessions, welcome to the Tribe!! Tayla’s summer session was a great mix of ONE of the many instruments she plays, business attire she rocks and some sunflowers to round off our evening.
This girl is beautiful, kind, classy and very talented! Loved her confidence and her style! Her next session in the Fall will include some family portraits, which I always recommend an updated family portrait before your senior is off adulting! The Fall session will be all about the senior until the last 15-20 minutes, then we get the family portrait updated.
Senior portraits are a big milestone. Don’t miss out on them. Whether you come to me or go to someone else, get them done.

My first kayaker! Brynna is one of our season seniors and she rocked her summer session! We wanted to capture the look of summer in a dress, water and one of her favorite activities to do in her spare time, kayak!!!
We have some fun sessions planned for each season with this girl! She is very talented in many things and knows what she wants. I can’t wait for her next sessions but I’m sure her mom would like time to slow down!
Senior portraits can be done anytime between the summer before senior year, all the way through spring, right before they graduate. If you are doing one session, I would not wait until spring. I promise it gets a bit busy around that time and you need pictures for those graduation announcements. Summer is pretty much over but you still have Fall and Winter and if you have to wait until Spring, then so be it. Don’t miss this big milestone in your seniors life. It is so fun to look back at these photos many years down the road and see not only the clothes and hairstyles but also the things you were interested in.

Quinn is part of our Season Senior Tribe this year! Class of 2022!

Summer session complete and I can’t wait to watch him grow and change through his senior year. Senior year is a BIG milestone! Quinn was very simple, so kind, and we had a great time! Such a handsome kid and I look forward to working with him and his mom during his senior year.

I have to say, I love something that Quinn and his mom do every Monday…they have dinner at grandma’s!! I love that they make time for family and get caught up every week!

See you in the fall!! Enjoy your first, last day of school!!

I can’t believe we are beginning a new year with a new group of Season Senior Tribe members! We did two summer sessions with Tyler. We did a senior/family combo session in Sun Valley at one of my favorite water locations and then we hit the gym.

We try to get water and/or flowers in the summer session but not always. Not everyone loves the outdoors so I have some fun seniors this year that have me on my toes and getting creative! We are still capturing seniors each season, it just may not include the usual. I’m more than okay with this.

The gym sessions I have done, are some of my favorite. But really, my favorite is capturing people doing what they love. I think watching people do what they love, is the most beautiful thing ever!! So, I’m a fan! Tyler spends time at D1 Training Boise and wanted to capture these memories. It will be fun for him to look back on these and remember the things he liked in high school and if it is still an interest. That’s what happened when I looked back at my senior pictures…guess what I had in mine??? A camera!!!!! Well dang!! Yep, still love my camera!

Thanks for a few fun summer sessions, Tyler! I look forward to seeing you change and grow in the next nine months. Enjoy your senior year!!

Miss Mira, you are stunning girl! My favorite part of your session was when I showed you the back of the camera and you saw how beautiful you are!! I saw it! You walked a little taller and your smile lit up the city!! You walked with a little more confidence than before! I loved seeing that change because we all see how beautiful you are, inside and out!

Mira is graduating early, maybe by the end of this summer if I remember right! We captured her downtown and then near her home in the foothills. We also snuck in a few family portraits at the end, which I will share in a few days. Let’s just focus on this girl right now and wish her luck in her new adventures!! Class of 2022 is now class of 2021. I can’t wait to see where life takes her! Your new adventure awaits. Have fun and enjoy the ride!

I am a big believer in shooting at locations that mean something first, and then of course have a ton of ideas for the ones that don’t have meaningful locations. Either way works for me! Miss Bella spends a lot of time in McCall. All three locations have meaning and she rocked them all!!

It was super smoky but Bella brought the bright light with her beautiful smile and fun personality! We started in Charlie’s Garden. It is a hidden gem in McCall that I have heard about and finally got to enjoy this magical place. We then went to a special family spot where ashes have been spread of loved ones. It overlooks the lake and the views will take your breath away. Although smoky on this day, it is still so beautiful! We ended at a family location on the lake where she goes boating and loves to wakeboard.

Bella is part of the Season Senior Tribe and will be doing a session every season leading up to her 2022 graduation. It goes by so fast!! If you have a 2022 graduate and are wondering when senior portraits should be booked, I suggest you start inquiring now. Senior portraits are typically done the summer before senior year and then can also be done anytime throughout senior year. If your senior is in sports and when school starts, it’s a whirlwind and suddenly its graduation. Don’t blink! After having my first senior last year, seriously…don’t blink!!

One of our 2022 Season Senior Tribe member! Summer session is complete!! We captured Tayten downtown and then at one of his favorite golf courses!

The golf course was busy and interesting. The golfers kept us on our toes as we took cover behind big trees. haha I might wear a helmet there next time! Oh my goodness! Lots of not so straight shots that night.

This first shot is one of my favorites! What it took to get this shot is crazy!! His mom, Monica made the “hole”. I was on my back (with moss falling in my eyes), two people were holding lights (wasn’t anticipating needing extra lights, so cell phone lights were used), one person holding the golf ball, one person holding the “hole” and one person watching for other golfers so we could run behind the tree to take cover. I’m sure it was a very funny look to anyone walking by! Whatever it takes to get the shot, right??? 😉

I have watched Tayten grow up for many years and I can’t believe he is a senior! I love his family and am so grateful to be the one who captures his BIG milestone senior year!

The Season Senior program is not for everyone but if you have a 2022 graduate and are wondering when senior portraits should be booked, I suggest you start inquiring now. Senior portraits are typically done the summer before senior year and then can also be done anytime throughout senior year. If your senior is in sports and when school starts, it’s a whirlwind and suddenly its graduation. Don’t blink! After having my first senior last year, seriously…don’t blink!!
