Ward Family // Bruneau Sand Dunes Family Session

This is Cassi's beautiful family. Cassi is a super talented photographer based out of Boise CJ Ward Photography .When she mentioned she wanted something different for her family session, something with open skies and more muted colors, we came across Bruneau Sand Dunes Park. This park had a big fire come through this year and I was nervous of what it might look like plus there were dark clouds and threats of rain, just everything you dread as a photographer. But it was perfect, no rain, no crazy fire damage and just the right amount of wind. So we played barefoot in the sand and somehow I got sand down my pants so you know it was amazing! LOL.

 

Let me know what you think!!

Mitch & Kelsey // The Grove Hotel // Boise, Idaho Wedding

It was a beautiful sunny day to be married. If you were there you saw how ABSOLUTELY beautiful Kelsey was in her wedding dress. You saw Mitch's smile from ear to ear when he watched her come up the aisle. You would have laughed at the loud music that so delicately interrupted her as her father gave her hand to Mitch and you may have cried along with her when Kelsey said her vows. You would have stood in awe of how beautiful the ballroom was decorated and how amazing the food was. I bet you had a wonderful time laughing and dancing until the night was over.

What you didn't see was the butterflies he had the moment when Mitch saw Kelsey for the first time in her wedding dress, how he tried to spin her and her veil wrapped around her and they laughed at the awkwardness. You also would have missed the way he looked at her while we took photos of her...how he took every moment to kiss her over and over. It was absolutely beautiful.

Kelsey and Mitch, thank you for choosing me to document your wedding day and the beginning of your "us". It was truly an honor to spend this day with you. 

She Said YES!! // Steven and Cassie // Idaho Botanical Gardens Proposal

Steven called me this last Friday from Tennessee asking if I had a last minute opening to come out and photograph his proposal to his girlfriend Cassie. He was coming into town for the weekend. His plan was to go to the Botanical Gardens, find a good spot and have me capture it. The only issue was that he had never met me and how was I going to get close enough and not be suspicious...SOooo I thought I'll bring the family. I had Aaron play with Amelia super close to them so that I could pretend I was taking pictures of her. (with a 70-200mm lol, you can see them in the background) So it was the perfect cover!! I am so thankful! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
