Young Women Part Uno/be the Seniority/Natural Light Photographer/Boise Photographer
I received a message through Facebook a few weeks ago from one of the sweetest individuals in our Nampa Stake. She is the leader over the 14-15 year old young women in her ward and she was planning an activity about professions. She was hoping I could come and teach her girls about photography and then do a photo session with them. I immediately got giddy and responded within seconds, "Yes, yes, I would love to come play "America's Next Top Model" with your cute Young Women and teach them a little about posing, my camera, etc. Yes, count me...." and then I hesitated and got VERY nervous and self conscious. You see, in this sweet friend's ward there are TWO, count them TWO photographers that I completely admire and "stalk" on a religious base. Their photography skills inspire me, their blogs make me drool. So, in my message back to me friend, I said, "Ummmm, Erin? You have two perfectly capable photographers in your ward who can put my skills to shame. They are amazing, why me?" She told me when she was brain storming this Young Woman Activity, my name was the first to pop in her head.
What an honor and a privilege to spend the evening with these 4 amazing young woman. If only I was as sweet, caring and considerate as these 4 girls when I was their age. Some were a little nervous and very conscious, but with a little help and positive reinforcement from their friends, we all had a wonderful time. Their encouragement inspired me that evening!
I have always wanted to check out this property very close to the Stake Center we were holding the Young Woman activity, SO, this was the perfect opportunity. I had hoped the girls didn't mind me using them as my lab rats for this shoot. I was given permission to shoot that evening on this property, and it did not disappoint.
Thank you Erin for having faith in me. I enjoyed our evening together. I hope the girls like their pictures!

Mackenzie Nampa Senior 2010/be the seniority/senior photography/Boise photographer
They found me on Facebook. Love Facebook! Mackenzie was graduating from Nampa High School, my husbands alma mater, and when we met in Boise on chilly evening, I about screamed. Not only was Mackenzie gorgeous with the cutest hair, she had in tow a VERY stylish mama and two younger sisters who were following in her footsteps! Spending the evening with Mackezie and entourage pulled me right back to my senior year and the fun I had taking my senior pictures!
Congratulations Mackenzie on all of your accomplishments. She is smart, a total reader, and on top of it all, an amazing Basketball player. What CAN'T she do?!

Late one evening we received a very stern knock on our front door. Our neighbor a few doors down was standing on our porch, a little out of breath due to running to our home. He was throwing a 35 year anniversary party for his Dad's CPA Accounting firm. His Dad originally wanted to rent out a Movie Theater for all of his clients to enjoy a free movie. His son had something else in mind. Something "popping" is the word I think he used. He said their would be balloons, a band, food, and even a roasted pig. "You had me at roasted pig" is what I wanted to say, but professionally and accurately I said, "I would love to be there and take pictures." This party gave me permission to outwardly people watch. People watching is one of my FAVORITE past times, and when I am given permission, I get a bit giddy!
Pictures of Jumphouse: Check!
Picture of Balloon arch made by my neighbor by instructional video off of You Tube: Check!
Picture of Roasted Pig AND Grandson "petting" the pig: Check!
Picture of the band and it's rocking members: Check!
Pictures of kids enjoying themselves: Check!
Pictures of food: Check! (Justin was bummed I didn't bring him a plate of the yummy food. He loves H M Meats! I didn't feel comfortable stealing the food!)
Paul, wonderful job my man. I think you could possibly have a knack for party planning! The blue and white was an excellent choice, you chose a great jumphouse and rock band, I think your dad and family were proud!
Congratulations Dille and Associates! May you have many, many more years of success! (I was so impressed by Mr. Dille! He knew every client by name AND by profession. He began his company PRIOR to being married. One of his associates has been with the firm for over 30 years! Amazing man and a huge company in the Nampa Area!)

It all began several months ago. Talking of family photos were always at the top of conversation. She hadn't had recent photos taken of her children and wanted them done before her new baby was to arrive. Over the course of many texts, a date and time was chosen. I had suggested many locations I had never gone to but had wanted to use them on her three cute kids. Just before our session date, I received a text stating, "I have the perfect place." She boasted of several ponds, rolling hills, a putting green and many trees. I was SO, so there!
I was led to a dead end of a very busy street in Star, Idaho. When we had to take a turn off the beaten path onto a gravel road, I knew this was going to be the greatest place EVER! The road turned into a one lane "bridge" which led us to the most beautiful log "cabin" I have seen in a long time. Seriously, this was NO cabin. It was more like a lodge. I started getting a bit "twitter-pated" as we walked around the grounds and knew this was going to be the greatest location EVER!
Thank you Angie for not only letting me spend the evening with your 3 children, but introducing me to my new favorite place!
AND a huge, big "thank you" goes out to the greatest Child Wrangler (I THINK that is what they are called in the movie business. The person in charge of keeping the children actors in the right place and under control!) Tina, Angie's sister who was in town from Utah. You were the greatest of help!
