Snow in Boise

Those of you familiar with Boise know we rarely get a lot of snow. Normally, it's enough to color the grass, and is gone by noon. This week, though, we've actually gotten snow - and it's been here for several days. It was so beautiful sitting on these berries.

New Personal Project - Gestures 365

With the new year I'm starting a new personal photographic project. Along with colleagues around the country, I'm shooting and posting a picture a day for a year. I've started a new blog for these pictures - http://gestures365.blogspot.com/. Feel free to take a look as the year goes on - literally to see what's in my world.

Here's one of the first photos:

Vicki & Nathan's Wedding

I had the great honor recently to help a very dear friend of mine remember her wedding day with photography. Vicki is one of the most amazing people I know, and her wedding to Nathan was nothing short of perfectly representative of this wonderful couple and their life together. The day started off a little cold, since it was October in Montana, but they were prepared with heaters and a great bonfire by the lake, and it turned into a magical evening under the stars. Here are some of my favorite visual memories of the day.

Scenery in Montana and Northern Idaho

I've been in Montana and Northern Idaho for the last couple weeks, and am always awed by te scenery there. The fall colors make it just that much more spectacular.

Angie

This is Angie - she's a senior this year, and is enjoying (almost) every minute of it. What a beautiful combination - her obvious love of life, and the beautiful colors of the fall.

What About ?! Promotions - Golfing for Jackie

The What About ?! Promotions Bikini Classic Golf Tournament was last weekend. If you remember the weather on Sunday, you know it was a very interesting afternoon. Needless to say, the W.A.P. Bikini Girls didn't spend much time in their bikinis... it was way too cold!

They did, however, assist the golfers during registration and throughout the tournament, and everyone had so much fun. Following the tournament, prizes were drawn for those participating in the tournament, as well as one for which raffle tickets were sold throughout the day.

All the proceeds went to benefit a local family whose beautiful daughter was released from the hospital just in time to visit the tournament to thank everyone for their participation and join in the prize drawings.

MACI Salon Stylists

The stylists at MACI Salon & Spa needed some new photos for their marketing material. We met for a few minutes one evening this week, and came out with some beautiful contemporary business portaits.

I love that I can help fellow business owners in the area make sure their clients see "the vision" of their business. Every business has an image they hope to project to their clients - artistic, contemporary photography is a great way to help make sure that happens.

W.A.P. Bikini Girls at Dirty Little Roddy's

Yes - they're out again! The What About?! Promotions Bikini Girls were at Dirty Little Roddy's in Boise promoting the Bikini Golf Classic. With all the people there, it was not hard finding interesting things to point the lens at!

W.A.P. Bikini Girls at Centennial Golf Course

The What About?! Promotions Bikini Girls were at Centennial Golf Course getting ready for the Bikini Golf Classic the end of this month. It was late in the evening, so the light was very limited, but the pictures turned out to very interesting because of it.

Brian & Sydney

Last week I went with Brian & Sydney to the park to do some casual, fun pictures of daddy and daughter together. It was such a fun time - playing in the water, finding the flowers, trying not to sit on Daddy's lap... "-)

Gail Jacobs

This week I worked with a realtor in Boise to update the photo for her business cards, website, and other marketing materials. She wanted something very professional, but also warm and comfortable. We chose an outdoor location for the light and the color in the area.

W.A.P. Bikini Girls at Hannah's

This week the What About?! Promotions Bikini Girls were at Hannah's downtown taking registrations for the What About?! Promotions Bikini Classic. What a fun group of girls!

Beautiful Family

This week I spent some time with this beautiful family, for some pictures of them together, and pictures of the kids individually. They are such a fun family, from the little girls playing in the sprinkler with their toes, to the break-dancing moves of the older brother - what fantastic memories we captured this evening.

The Liddell Family

The Liddells had a big birthday in the family this month, and their four generations came together from around the country to celebrate. It was such a joy to meet them all and spend a couple hours with this beautiful family!
