"Thinny" and her family/Boise Family Photographer/Meridian Family Photographer

Our friendship began 10 years ago. We met in Radiology school and became the best of friends. I was a bride's maid in her wedding, and we planned on starting our families around the same time. Lucky for us, our first born were born on the exact same day, perfectly planned. 10 years and 4 children between the two of us, we remain friends and I am so grateful for her friendship. She is beautiful, a wonderful mother, and a true friend. Thank you Ang for asking me to capture your family through photography.

Sweet Angie asked if I could be in some of the pictures with the girls.  Thanks to Geoff, these were a product of him!

And THIS is why I call her"thinny."  As I was shooting my gorgeous friend Ang, I meant to either say "skinny" or "thin" and it came out as "thinny!"  Love you Ang. 

Bradie and Josh/Nampa Family Photographer/Homedale Family Photographer/Idaho Family Photographer

When I pulled up to our destination for our photoshoot and saw these two little tykes, I think I let out a scream. They were SO stinkin' cute and later I found  out these two little toddlers were FULL of personality! What a great evening it was spent with this young, loving family! Thanks to Amy for giving me the opportunity to not only take this families picture BUT a huge thank you for wrangling the children when needed! Every child needs a little "wrangling" now and then!

The first picture is one of my favorite. I could see Josh's "tat" peaking through his crisp white polo shirt and just had to take a picture of it with sweet Tommy! What a sport Josh was.

Rachel/Nampa Senior Picture Photographer/ Boise Senior Picture Photographer

I was contacted through Facebook by Rachel. She wondered how much it would be to go out one evening and just take some pictures of her. I have watched Rachel grow up throughout the years, but have never had the opportunity to spend an evening with her. I told her to convince a friend to come along, for moral support of course, and we would go out ASAP!

To me, Rachel screamed Downtown Boise. I had just gone out the week before with my friend and also fellow photographer friend Emily and found a perfect place for Rachel.

Well, Rachel, her friend Abbey and I spend the evening walking the streets of Downtown Boise. Rachel said she felt like she was on America's Next Top Model! I am glad she felt so comfortable; and as long as she doesn't compare me to Mr. Jay, we are cool!

FYI, if you bring along a friend for a photo shoot, BEWARE! Your friend might be conned into getting her picture taken too!

After spending the evening with Rachel and Abbey, I wanted to run out and buy an over-sized red purse and an ultra cute owl necklace.

Abbey and Rachel, you were so much fun! Lets do it again sometime soon!

Hill Family/Bend, Oregon Family Photographer/Boise Family Photographer

I have known him since he was 12 years old. He was my best friends little brother, and often, I would drive him to work after school. He is all grown up with one of the sweetest wives I have ever met. I wish we lived closer because I think Em and I would be good friends. Now, to see Nick with his little guy Kaden and his gorgeous wife just about brought me to tears. Nick and Em are the greatest parents. Kaden is the smartest little 2 year old I know (next to MY 2 year old of course!), this was one of the greatest families.

baby Olivia Jane/Boise Newborn Photographer/La Grande Newborn Photographer/Boise Newborn Photographer/LDS baby blessing photographer

What a special day for my niece Olivia. Even though Olivia will not remember this day, I will. Fondness, love, and unity will be feelings I will always remember from this day. Great Grandparents, Grandparents, 3 uncles, 2 aunts, 2 great cousins and 2 cousins from my side of the family all joined together in La Grande, Oregon to celebrate this special day. Sweet baby Olivia, you are so loved.

Miss Tori Columbia High School 2010/Boise Senior Photographer

I have watched this pretty little lady grow up and now, *sniff sniff* she is off to college! I was so happy to have received her high school graduation announcement with one of these pictures attached to it. Good luck Tori in all of your studies! You are going to be an awesome forensic scientist.
