Lovin me some silhouettes

2011-11-14T11:52:00.000-08:00

I don't think I ever learned how to spell silhouettes in school. I had to google that one :).

Love these colors!

2011-10-29T21:17:00.000-07:00

When our orchard that we trespass in to take pics was in use, we took off to find another close location to take some family pics. I was so excited when we found these old crates, I love the colors they bring into the picture. Thanks C fam!

Lovin the repeats

So there is a super saturday coming up where the wards are doing these amazing picture frames and I had a few families needing pics to go into the awesome picture frames. So the next two posts are for them to choose which one should be "the one". What do you think?

eeney meeney miney moe.... if that's even how you spell it

Nothing like shooting in tornado weather. Thank you Twin Falls for the awesome wind storms.

Case study... schmase study

2011-09-26T20:56:00.001-07:00

I'm supposed to be doing a case study, but I'd rather not. So I think it's time for another before and after. I love adding brightness and depth to my photos, I think it really makes them pop and adds character. This little girl is a doll. I don't think I had one bad shot of her. Ahhhh... if all shoots could be as easy as this one :)

Don't leave your kids with me...

2011-09-16T12:59:00.000-07:00

I might just make them do something they don't want to :) N did not want her picture taken, but I couldn't resist. I got a few smiles from her, but mostly annoyed looks. Oh well, at least I had fun!

One Word...

2011-09-13T20:58:00.000-07:00

STUNNING!

ok, a few more words :) I've come to call this picture my signature wedding pose. I love the simpleness of holding hands. Its something you come to miss when they are filled with kiddos!

Love these...

2011-09-09T21:15:00.001-07:00

So I just love it when my favorite photogs post before and after pics. I love to see how they edit and what a difference photoshop makes. It is also a way to put your own personal touch on the photos you take. So I thought it would be fun to post a few every once in a while so you can see how I have fun in photoshop!

Black and white mood latley

2011-05-17T12:40:00.001-07:00

I've been seeing things black and white lateley. Sometimes I get in moods when I love black and white, while other times I can't get enough color. What do you think? Do you prefer black and white or color???

I'm back in business

2011-05-16T08:58:00.000-07:00

With one year of nursing school behind me and the warm sunny days of summer ahead, I feel like I can finally breath and get back to the things that I LOVE to do. So here's to 3 months of family, fun, and fotos.

P.S. I know it's kinda early for Christmas photos, but once school starts again in August, I'm out. Just so ya know :)

And of coarse, what's a post without pictures? Weddings are such a magical time in life. I'm glad I was able to catch a few of those magical moments.

Dear Blog...

2011-02-01T21:50:00.001-08:00

Dear blog,
I know I have neglected you over the last few months. This new thing in my life called nursing school is taking up all my fun time and replacing it with big books to read, notes to study, and tests to take. But sometimes.... I still think about you. Especially when I am studying and would rather not be. So even though I have a test coming up that I should be studying for, I would rather pay attention to you. Plus, who can resist this super cutie? ahhh, I love babies.
Don't give up on me blog, someday you'll again be my numero uno.

Happy Birthday!

2010-12-22T09:13:00.001-08:00

One of my favorite little girls turned one, Happy Birthday little N!

Family + Engagement

2010-10-30T23:26:00.000-07:00

It's crazy late. I should be in bed, or studying, or cleaning, but....sometimes I just want to sit lazily at the computer and photoshop. Well, that's what I've been doing today, so here's to being lazy at the computer... enjoy!

NICU

2010-10-16T22:26:00.000-07:00

Not only do I have an awesome sister that works in the NICU, but there are also some amazing ladies that have helped take care of my kiddos when they were newbies that work there. I have so much respect for these awesome girls becaues they are seriously the best at what they do. It's great to be able to give a little back to someone who has done so much for you. Thanks J and M, you are awesome.

The leaves are changing

2010-10-13T08:22:00.001-07:00

I always know it's getting into picture season when the leaves start changing colors. It's the perfect time to get those Christmas card pics before it's -10 degrees outside. I've been crazy busy and have lots more sessions to post.. so, stay tuned.

But for now, enjoy this cute little family!

Super fun C Fam

2010-09-29T23:00:00.000-07:00

Here's to a four pack... of motorcycles that is. I got to decide how good the cute little boy was during the session. The better he was, the more motorcycles he got. You can tell from the pics he definantly gets the four pack. Thanks guys, you rock!

Sneek peek just for you MC

2010-09-24T20:28:00.001-07:00

If you want the rest of your pics, you have to give Amanda Christmas Day off ;)

2010-09-23T20:51:00.000-07:00

I'm so glad I was able to take pics for this fun family. I have to say, this was the first shoot I have ever been chauffeured around in a golf cart. It was fun to try a new location that I'd never done before. Enjoy...

Simply in L.O.V.E

2010-09-14T22:11:00.001-07:00

So I'm completely in love with newborns. I'm so honored to be able to take those first precious pictures. I of all people know how fast these tiny babies grow, and how important it is to perserve these memories while you can because...... somday they won't be little anymore. So, thank you E for letting me capture a little moment of time for your cute little family!

Ps. The older kiddos are just as adorable, I think I'm just wallowing in the fact that my baby is way bigger than this adorable newborn. boo hoo. Why do you have to go and grow old on me?

J & B Groomals

2010-08-18T09:19:00.000-07:00

We had such a great time on this shoot with moms, sisters, and friends all there to help. We had a makeup crew, a dress crew, and ... oh yeah, the groom. I love this idea of getting pictures together before (or after) the wedding so that you don't have to stress about picutres on the big day. Congratulations you guys, I wish you the best.

Sweet Wheat

2010-07-23T10:23:00.000-07:00

I've never really trudged through a wheat field before, so I came completely unprepared for this shoot. A fellow photog needed some pics and suggested we try a wheat field. Since my home is surrounded by them, I thought that was a great idea. I guess flip flops and shorts is not the right thing to be dressed in when taking on wheat. I was so itchy and pokey that I was literaly ready to drop my pants before the shoot was over. Good thing it was only a few houses down from mine, or I might have! Anyway, lesson learned... pants and shoes in a wheat field... got it.

Summer time

2010-06-24T23:31:00.000-07:00

Summer time is always so busy with vacations, t-ball, potty training. What? Potty training? Well, this summer is full of that and so much more. Needless to say, I've been terrible on keeping up on my editing. And even though I have sworn off the blue wall in hopes of greener pastures, this family really loved it. So, here are a few pics for the A family.

Ahh...New ones.

2010-06-03T00:24:00.000-07:00

Babies make me smile... enjoy!

As promised...

Sneek Peek... J and B Engagements

2010-05-24T15:02:00.000-07:00

I had to give this cute couple a sneek peek at their awsome engagment session. This took place on the coldest day we've had this month. In fact, it snowed a few times...yes, in May. Oh, Idaho weather, how I love you. But when we set out to take these pics, the wind died down and we were able to get some amazing shots.

More to come... I promise!

Super Cute Dude

2010-05-03T08:31:00.000-07:00

This super cute dude is so photogenic with amazing blue eyes. He's such a cutie and also doubled as a model for the hats I was shooting. I'm also a little partial because he's my nephew. What a doll!

And speaking of dolls, I better post one of two other cuties I'm pretty partial to.

New Hats

2010-03-19T15:34:00.000-07:00

I did this shoot for a local Dr. who wanted some shots of these awesome new hats. These hats will help with babies who have flat spots on their heads. They also can be used as a preventative measure. Either way, I think they are great and can be used just about anywhere.

The long awaited reveal...

2010-01-19T00:55:00.001-08:00

I had such a fun shoot with this family up in the snow in the south hills. They are so cute and I couldn't wait to get home to post these for them....Unfortunatly, my computer got a crazy virus and crashed everything. After days of trying to figure it out, we called for back-up. Tek Hut finally got it running after a week, so I jumped on to start editing to find out my photoshop program had gotten wiped out. ARRGGG! So after much anticipation, I finally have theses pics to post. Thanks for being so patient, I think it was worth the wait!

So fun!

2009-11-30T20:59:00.000-08:00

So I don't usually put words with my posts, but I just have to tell about this amazing, dirty, old, you could probably get a disease from it, couch that we found at my favorite picture spot. Yeah, just sitting there begging for someone to come along and take some pics with it. This family was so awesome and just went along with my crazy impulse. I love the vintage feel of these pictures. Thanks for letting me put your adorable baby on this nasty old couch. You guys are the best!

Super Cute Family!
