A little bit about me

My photo
Boise, Idaho, United States
I am a mother of three wonderful girls and a birth-mom to a wonderful young adult. I am my husband’s girlfriend, and I feel so blessed that he and I found each other. I believe he is my soul mate.

I fell in love with the art of photography in the early 80's when my dad handed me his Nikon camera and asked me to take a picture of him and my mother. The camera bug got me.

I am a natural light photographer. I love the way the sun looks on our skin, our hair, and our earth. That is why I use the light God gave us.

Enjoying the Holidays

I hope you all are enjoying what is left of the Holidays, for my family and I have just started to celebrate The Christmas holiday. We finished our shopping today my husband and I. I have to say it was nice hitting all those after Christmas sales today. I found that doing Christmas on a budget this year a lot easier with all the sales I was able to find today. You must be asking yourself why is she just getting stated now? I get that a lot. One of my four daughters is away in Texas enjoying some much needed time with her father. They are going on a hunting ranch to hunt Axis Deer. While her baby sisters, her step father, and I sit here and wait to have Christmas. I hope her hunt is fun, and safe. I miss her dearly. I have enjoyed looking at all your Santa pictures and all the pictures of your Christmas trees. It has been fun to sit here and watch you all enjoy the Christmas season. I look forward to a busy year with you all. I have many new things planned for this year to come and many special sessions for you all to enjoy. May you all ring in the New Year with close Family and Friends. May we all be blessed with the things that bring us joy and success.

Thanksgiving Special...

I would like to take a moment and thank all the family's that took part in my First ever Thanksgiving special in Phoenix Arizona.It was a long drive to get to you all, all your beautiful smiles have me thinking of when I can do it again. I enjoyed each and every shoot while I was there. I do want to post a few shots of the Black Friday shoot here on my updated post.
I Love that I can check this shoot off my bucket list... As I was driving home to see you all I kept looking at the beauty around me I was seeing this shoot in my head. I think my favorite part about it is the getting it all together... at one point we talked about strapping this antique couch to the roof of a car... I am grateful that we did not have to do that as I would have just been sick if something had happened to the couch.
While I am still editing many of the portraits, here are a few... I will also be posting my entry for Rock the Shot from my Black Friday shoot!

Families


I really enjoyed my time spent with this family, an hour never seems to be enough with an amazing family like this one. I know the love over flows with this family as there were a few moments of tears, smiles and lots of laughter  through out the shoot but all in all a good time was had. I always find the laughter of the children my highlight. I wish I could have joined them for ice cream afterwards. I look forward to their next family photo shoot.
