Baby Lucia: December 31st 2013

My dearest friend Sonia had her sweet little girl yesterday and I wouldn't miss documenting this beautiful day for the whole world!

When I arrived Sonia's mom and her husband, father and sister were waiting in the waiting room. Her boys were busy playing video games while we watched the clock tick. A couple hours went by while a bit of worry crept in. She had a scheduled c-section and was typically a pretty easy procedure. 

Finally, Miguel came through the doors and we all leaped up! He said everything was fine and that a few of us could go see the baby while the doctors worked on mommy. Oh what a moment that was! Her mom, sister, dad and I got to peer through the glass at the "minutes old" baby Lucia! We ooed and awhed a bunch, a few tears and hugs then we came back to the waiting room. They said it would be awhile before we could see Sonia so we all had a bite to eat and came back. They gave the word and we finally were able to go see mommy! The boys came in the room and the reaction was priceless! Welcome sweet Lucia!!!

Forest Winter Family Session // Washington State Forest

This session was destined to be EPIC! The outfits, the setting, the people...I mean... When you have all the ingredients together it literally just happens! I can't tell you how much fun I had playing in the Washington snow! A huge thank you to Tasha and Isaiah for being so awesome! Ike & Tash + #littlemisswisdom Christmas family photos 2013. Let it Shine Photography.

Foothills Winter Engagement // Boise Idaho Wedding Photographer

Engagement shoots with me tend to be more of a "Moment in the life of..." the couple. We find something fun they may typically do and just record the real moments. This trail is up by their house in the foothills where they walk their dog. PERFECT! We loaded up and took off for the trail. You should have seen how excited their doggy was to get 2 walks that day! There was this beautiful tree on the edge of the hill that couldn't have been any better! I get more excited about photos than I should but oh well!

When Jessica called me about an engagement I was SO hoping that we had snow! It had snowed a few weeks ago and mostly melted so I was a little bummed but the days leading up to our shoot we had this amazing fog that left frost all over the branches and shrubs. It was sparkly and absolutely stunning!! I couldn't help but be excited to play!

Ike & Tash + #littlemisswisdom: Pioneer Square, Seattle Washington

I had the BEST time in Washington this week! I had the pleasure to shoot for one of the best photographers and marketers in the Northwest, Ike & Tash Photography & Motion. If it weren't for the time crunch and the weather we would have shot all day long!! I love Seattle! No wonder there are so many amazing photographers based there! Before I left to go back to Boise we had time for a mini shoot. I am in love! I am so grateful to know Latasha Haynes and Isaiah Haynes. #littlemisswisdom was an absolute angel! I can't get over her!!
