I just cannot go another day without posting a quick peek at this beautiful darling!

Whirlwind Nampa Trip ~ Sneak Peaks

I was pleasantly surprised several weeks ago to find an email in my inbox from the Dalbey family asking if I was planning on coming to Idaho anytime soon as they would like to have me update their family portrait. Nothing is more thrilling (or intimidating) as being asked to return. I did have plans for a trip to see family in the area so we scheduled the day along with a few other families and I shot the day away. :) It was a fabulous trip to be able to work with so many wonderful families.

This year they have a forgien exchange student living with them. Niina is from Finland. She is super sweet, I wish I had had more time to get to know her. She is a senior this year so we got a few shots for her to share with friends here and at home.

Gorgeous!

McCrostie Family
When I lived in Idaho I would come scrapbook at their house. Again intimidating.. she has seen A LOT of portraits, and she picked me.

Izatt Family
These guys have to love me... they are family.

Elko, NV engagements

Chelsea won a mini session with me back in August for helping me to win a slot in the JAG workshop. Here is a quick sneak peak from her session.

Dickenson Family

I LOVE this family. Not just in an oh-my-gosh I love to take their pictures, but in a from the depths of my heart love them. Tammie and I have been friends since we were in Girl Scouts together when I moved to this little town at 10, all through the turbulent Jr. High years and traveled together to Reno on a school bus more times than I care to remember. James' parents are good friends with my parents and I was overjoyed when they wed last fall. James is in the Marines and is headed to Afghanistan at the very moment I am typing this. He was recently home on pre-deployment leave and I twisted thier arms and insisted on a photo session.

Could their little girl be any sweeter?

Love you guys! We pray for your safe return James. Tammie, I am just up the street if you ever need anything.

Despite the weather this afternoon was AMAZING.
Snow or not these two rocked it

Best Friends

These two have been best friends for a long time, Jr High?, Elementary School? I wasn't quite clear... basically forever. School, jobs, family, the business of life keep them from being close geographically so when Jessie came to visit a few weeks ago they wanted to commemorate actually being together. It was so fun to have them in my little basement studio, thanks for helping me break it in!

Pink! a favorite color I'm told.

JaG Workshop

This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend a workshop hosted by Scott Jarvie. It was such an incredible opportunity and I learned a lot. At the end of the day we went outside and tried to practice what we had been learning. It was so much fun to work with Scott and to watch all the other photographers work as well.

Thanks again Scott!
