{Liberty Charter Prom}, Nampa Prom Pictures

Umpteen years ago I attended Prom with my football/wrestling boyfriend. It was an event of the year. To begin the evening of Prom, we had our pictures taken by a professional picture which I cherished! This photographer would open up his studio for 2-3 hours for high school students to have their Prom pictures taken. It was one of the high lights of my night, getting our pictures taken in front of a beautiful NATURAL background with great lighting and a professional behind the camera. No waiting in lines, wasting precious dancing time, cheesy backdrops, and crappy pictures.
So, when I got into photography a little over a year ago, one of my first thoughts was back to high school and my prom pictures. I never got brave enough to accomplish one of my little dreams, UNTIL a sweet High School senior by the name of Devon texted me; asking if I would like to take some Prom pictures! Isn't it funny how your dreams come a reality through ways you would never expect?

Thank you Devon and Jarom for introducing me to your ultra cool friends! I had an *epic* night (in the words of sassy, fierce and amazingly cute girl McKenna)thanks to you two and your friends! Jarom, next year? I sure hope so!!!

{Rhett} 2 year old/Star Child Photographer

Rhett and his mom are two of my favorite people! We had one of the most fun mornings playing with wooden planes, reading books in a field, crawling through crates and eating cupcakes in celebration of Rhett turning TWO!

It has been so rewarding watching Rhett grow up and taking part in his many milestones! I first took his picture when he was a mere 6 months old, then when he turned one, and now a third time for his 2nd birthday. I am truly blessed with good friends and happy memories!













Lookie how cute Rhett's mama Nicole is! Just looking at this hot mama, would you ever guess she had a bun in the oven? Yeah, she is 20 weeks and not even showing a bit. She SWEARS she is just covering up, but girlfriend, that little boy in your belly needs to display himself!!! Some ladies are way too lucky!

I had the cutest assistant with me on this shoot: His name is Tian! He is 2.5, loves super heroes, has the greatest dance moves (he LOVES Justin Beiber and requests Baby Baby Baby quite frequently!) and on this special morning, he was dressed in his new "cool" coat as he calls it to impress his friend Rhett!

{Margaret} class of 2011/Columbia High School Senior Photographer/Nampa High School Senior Photographer

This Senior picture photo shoot was one year in the making; and when the day finally arrived, I was pumped! Margaret is full of life, spunk, and SASS. She knows how to work it in front of a camera, she has got some serious smarty-pants brains (she got into BYU-Provo, no problem!), and she is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful 17 year olds you will ever meet. Her smile is warming, her eyelashes go on for years and years, AND, I find her smile and looks VERY similar to a certain Reality Star by the name of Kim K.

A few days before our shoot, I told her I would take her pictures with ONE condition: if she would show me how she gets her amazing eye lashes. I am very jealous of anyone who has naturally long and thick eye lashes. SO, the day of our shoot, I purposely didn't wear any mascara or curl my eye lashes. I told her, "This is me when I haven't curled my eye lashes. What is your trick?" She took one looked at me (probably in disgust because I am very unsightly without make-up!) and said, "You curl your eye lashes?" Like, are you from Jupiter?! Yeah, this girl doesn't need a heated eye lash curler like I do to make her amazing eyes!

 Thank you for your trusting me with such an important part of your Senior year. I enjoyed every moment of our photo shoot! Even the part where the annoying birds wouldn't stop singing us a tune AND running away from the bees in the orchard! Memories of Margaret!!!

May your future be bright and wonderful Margaret. You will make an excellent nurse for sure.

So, these are the two I SWEAR reminds me of Kim K!
