Boise Family Photography: Hawley Family


When Candice wrote me, she said that she hadn't taken family pictures without a tripod EVER! I was immediately giddy with excitement when she sent me a picture of her little girls...a red head, blonde and brunette!! Are you kidding!? This family is perfect! From the moment we got there the girls were running and throwing sticks into the pond! It was the most perfect evening. This is how I want my family sessions to be! Enjoy!



 






















Boise Child Photography: Rylie Turns ONE!!

 There is something so heart warming about a MOMMY-DAUGHTER session. Rylie loves her mommy. I had such a special time spending Rylie's first birthday with her. We, of course, had a blustery cold day in February and planned the second part of the shoot outdoors. Rylie was a tough little girl and made the most of her photoshoot. She was the perfect little model.

I decided to blog mostly black and whites on this session- just something different. Thank you to Ashley and her beautiful daughter Rylie!! XO (I'm not even her mom and I LOVE her to pieces!)











 

Would you like to photograph the "Perfect Family"? YES PLEASE!: Boise Family Photographer, Boise Children Photography, Boise Child Photographer}

BOISE FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER: When I met Mandy last year I had to literally pick my jaw up off the ground! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!! Then I took a look at her boys and freaked out again! Seriously! How did I get to take their pictures!?? So when she contacted me again for a family shoot with her husband, I couldn't contain myself! I practically jumped out of my skin! So to kick of 2012, I'd like to present the kind of session that I would love to offer! It starts of exploring...picking up sticks, throwing rocks, playing hide and go seek and making faces. We plop the kids in a pose here and there so that we don't get them too cranky. I have found that if you make something sound fun and look fun, they will want to do it! I want to create a memory instead of just a photo session! So this session pretty much is exactly that! We had a blast! It was kinda cold but you know boys, they didn't care a bit! We ended the sessions with giant suckers and I couldn't have been more pleased! So.... Perfect family...YES PLEASE!!!!
 Happy New YEAR!!!!

Boise Child Photography: Woodland Fairy, Polka Dots and Balloons! Veronica Turns ONE!!!


 I am always so excited to spend any amount of time around kids! They are so silly and fun and pretty much don't care what they look like or what they do! Just my type of people! Veronica was a little hesitant with me at first but by the end of the day she finally warmed up to the camera. Grandma Patty was the most gracious and fun host, she was coloring with the kids and laughing!! This day everyone was having fun! When the cake was set in front of Veronica she very daintily touched it and when she got something on her hands she would cry for a napkin. She was definitely the cleanest one year old Ive ever been around! Here are some photos of the birthday party!



Boise Children Photography: Sarich Brothers Playdate!

 When Kelly asked me to come over for dinner I already started planning out in my mind what I was going to have the kids do for a photo shoot! Kelly and I have known eachother for about a million years, well more like 12 years, but before she had Hallie so a LONG time. She made chicken alfredo and we all sat at the table and laughed at Ayden telling stories about zombies! Yes he is 4 but he knows how to kill zombies! I told him to go put on a superhero outfit to take some pictures so he ran to the room and came back with a Barbarian outfit! We went outside and played in the front yard. When we came back in Bennett was put to bed but I hadn't shot him yet so we decided to go up to his room and take a few of him playing in the crib. He was NOT tired so Kelly grabbed him and dressed him up- time for photoshoot #2! So much fun even though it was not planned...I just love these kids!!

Boise Child Photography: Jakoby on the move!!

 Have you ever spotted the cutest little kid and wanted to just sit and stare at them?? Normally kids will just stare back so its totally fine right?? Well this little girl was ADORABLE since the first day she came into this world! I have known Lisa for a bunch of years and when she moved away I lost track of what she was up to. I saw her and Jakoby eating one day at the mall and just about died! What an absolutely gorgeous little girl! Of course she has a beautiful mommy so it was just inevitable. I pretty much vowed from that day, a year ago, to get that girl in front of my camera! I finally got that chance! What a fun day! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE me some silliness and she let me have it! Here are some fun ones from the shoot!!

Boise Children Photography: Twin Brother and Sister

 OH MY GOODNESS!! I literally squeeled when i saw these kids!  I was so happy to hear from Amanda again this year to do pictures of her twins, this time for a surprise Father's Day gift! We decided to go try a new location out of town advised by a photographer friend of mine and it was AMAZING!! Grandma and sister came to help be silly and make the kids laugh! I am so happy that Amanda brought such cute outfits to change them into! All and all it was a super fun shoot and I couldn't ask for a better day!

Boise Child Photography: Gabby gets serious!

 So I believe that I have successfully infiltrated the "police department"! My bestest girly Sonia Lopez works for dispatch at the police department and can't seem to keep her mouth shut about me, I just don't know why! LOL! I am so thankful for her and all the ladies that have chosen me for their family photos. 
Crystal called me as a referral from another client there and needed to get pictures of her little girl Gabby.  We decided to keep it simple and head out to the field near both of our houses- she lives a stone throw from me. The second we got her out in the field, she stayed very serious. As she watched the cars drive by, Crystal and I probably sounded a little crazy with our high squeeky voices and looked a little strange waving our hands around to get her to look and to smile. All in all we definitely showcased little Gabby on that day. She is absolutely adorable.

Boise Family Photography: Mandy and her little gentlemen!!


I am always so thankful when I get to meet a new client- especially when they are a referral. A referral is the best compliment I could ever receive. First of all, a client must really have a great experience and love the service to share that with their friends or family. And that is simply the greatest gift to me. SO with that I introduce Mandy Haynes and her little boys.

Mandy is a referral from Debbie Lehnert. I shot Debbie's family a couple months ago and received the most amazing feedback from her! She loved every proof picture and had to have every one of them! I still smile thinking about that day. Mandy and her husband attend the same "core group" as Debbie through Calvary Chapel Church, which so happens to be the church Aaron and I go to. So we were simply destined to meet! 

 Mandy is B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! I joked with Aaron saying "She looks like a cover girl". They all look like models. I can't wait to get her husband out next time to shoot the whole family.  Check out these pictures of the day!!
