Sneak Peek: Baby Caleb

I recently took a little trip to Star, ID to meet Baby Caleb. He's three months old, and the most happy baby I've seen in quite some time, and had so much to say! Watch out when he learns actual words, Mom.... So - here's a sneak of a couple of my favorites of this beautiful little family:

Best Friends

I recently took fun portraits with best friends "A" and "S". Even though it was 102 degrees when we started the shoot, we had lots of fun, and had some fantastic results:

Little Baby "C" isn't so little anymore....

Little Baby "C" is growing so fast, as they are prone to do, I guess. Even though she's only two, her speech and vocabulary is amazingly advanced. Her Momma' must be so proud.

Beautiful Girls

A few more pictures of Nikki's daughter and a friend. I love the simplicity of kids playing in the park... what a great way to bring out the sincerity and beauty of childhood.

Mom and daughter... such a CUTE family!!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph Nikki of Nikki Rose Photography - and her beautiful daughter. They were in Boise for the weekend, and were able to squeeze in a few minutes at the park to create some beautiful little family portraits:

Lake in the Mountains

I'm out of the studio for a couple weeks - spending time with the family at the lake in the mountains.... Here's a peek:

Clouds

The skies above Idaho have been beautiful lately. I find myself often with my camera pointed skyward....

Final Presentation

Following "S's" portrait session, I thought I'd show some examples of final presentations that I love for fresh, contemporary portraits like these. Whether framed with a bright metal molding or on canvas gallery-wrap style, these fun modern "memories" deserve a very special treatment.

Special "collage" presentations like these are available for all portrait sittings, and will be custom-designed to fit the subject and look amazing.

Little "S" is not so little, anymore

Little "S" is turning four next week - we got together today to take some pictures, to document this special time in her life.... What a beautiful girl!

Beautiful Babies!!

New from the Art of Being Series - Baby Squares. They're presented in square formats in a few sizes - printed with a white border, ready to be framed and hung in your nursery.

California, Nevada, Oregon....

The first in a potentially long line of images from a recent road trip around California, Nevada, and Oregon. More on the way, as they're finished. Proof that we live in a lovely, varied world. Enjoy!

Brave and Valiant Soldier

For Memorial Day this year, the city of Eagle, ID erected this temporary display. A field of flags, each with the name of a fallen soldier. What a beautiful and moving scene.

More Stacked Rocks

More of the rocks - from the previous post:

Stacked Rocks

On a recent weekend trip through with the family through the mountains of Idaho, we found ourselves on a gravel and dirt road, heading to the small town of Yellow Pine. The river was running very high along the road, and occasionally we came upon these rocks, stacked by the road and in the fields. They vary in scale - some only tiny pebbles, some so large that I think they must have been placed using equipment.

I was not successful in discovering how they'd come to be there or when, but thought they were beautiful, anyway!

Skies Overhead

I recently took a little road trip across Idaho, and was thrilled to have beautiful skies for the drive. It took a little longer than it should have, though, what with all the stopping and detours to admire the scenery.

Art of Being Series - Baby Art

I've started a new project in my studio - the "Baby Art" is the first to debut. This line represents the combination of my two photographic loves - people and things. B&W photos of some of the most precious parts of our teeny-tinys. They're presented backed by saturated color in abstract patterns and embellished with swirls and flowers for a modern and fresh design.

They're available right now in small notebooks - 4"x6" - which is a perfect size for purse or car, or by the phone or bedside table.

Soon they'll be available in canvas gallery wraps - to be used as nursery decor. These designs are square, and meant to be displayed as is, with no frame.

I've offered designs like this to my portrait clients for a long time, and am very excited to be expanding the offering. If you're thinking of having baby portraits done, these are a wonderful way to display the portraits of your own teeny-tiny!

Everything is available for purchase through my Etsy shop, or directly from me if you're in the Boise area.

Back in the Studio

With the beautiful weather lately, I've been spending a lot of time outside enjoying the spring weather. Today, though, I invited one of my favorite models back into my small studio to experiment with some new backgrounds. I'm so thrilled with this new style of portraits, and am excited to offer them to my portrait clients.

More Sunshine and Flowers!!

The sun is out again today! It's so beautiful here in Boise, I can't stand it! The trees are blooming and the earth is coming back to life. It's such a grand time of year!

Red White and Blue

Okay - I know it's a little early for the reference to the 4th of July, but the colors in these two are so lovely - how could I resist?
