Senior Pictures FAQ {Eagle, Idaho}


The Gorgeous Ms. Kaylie

What can I say about Kaylie? She is energetic, loves to play tennis, has a great sense of fashion, and is so comfortable in her skin, that she makes taking photographs of her such an easy job!

I was so excited to get these photos of Kaylie for her mom….when Kaylie leaves for college, mom will be left with a house full of boys and I know that she will treasure these. We had a fabulous time!

Enjoy your sneak peak!

Kenna, Class of 2011

Kenna.
Student Body President.
Church member.
Daughter.
Sister.
Friend.

It would take pages to try to describe all of the great things that Kenna does with her time. She magnifies every role that she has. It was such a pleasure to spend some time with Kenna and get to know her a little better. She is amazing!

I can’t wait see where life leads you. There are great things in store for you, my dear.







Playing with Alexis

There is a wonderful young lady that I know who will be heading off to BYU-Provo in a few weeks. Her plans are to major in photography…but she might change that to journalism…she is an incredible writer as well as photographer.

We decided to go out and play a few weeks ago and she brought along some good friends so that we could photograph beautiful people in downtown Boise.

I had such a good time “talking shop” with Ali, and in getting to know these great kids. I might have scared them a little when I had a little hissy fit when the fast food joint that we wanted to go to closed literally a couple of minutes before we got there, but HEY, you gotta get the shots first!

You guys still owe me some sweet potato fries!

Hugs!!!






Taylor

Taylor’s family lives in a part of the country where they do not do senior pictures like we do them here in the west. Fortunately for me, Taylor’s dad wanted him to have some senior photos done and asked if I would be interested in photographing him if he flew him out to Idaho. SURE – I said. But wouldn’t it be funner to do them where Taylor grew up?

A few months, and few emails and phone calls later, I got to spend the day with Taylor in his home town. We went to some of the most amazing places and I had an incredible time getting to know this young man. He is talented, genuine, a great friend, and just a little bit of a smart aleck – which means that we got along fabulously.

Thanks for the great memories, Taylor. Keep me posted on all of the amazing things that I know are in store for you!


Ashley

I had the absolute privileged of flying to Philadelphia and photographing Ashley and her family. They were so welcoming and I spent an incredible week getting to know them. We visited some of the most beautiful places on earth and often shot until the sun went down. Every day was full of new experiences and I enjoyed every single minute of my time there.

Getting to know Ashley was a complete treat. She is one of the most giving, patient, loving girls that I have met. She is a fantastic big sister and a wonderful child.

Enjoy your sneak peak, sweetheart. I had such an incredible time being around you. Your smile is infectious and your heart is made of gold. I wish you joy and happiness in your upcoming adventure.

Courtney

Sen10rs! What fun.

Our first outing for Courntey ended abruptly when a huge thunderstorm rolled in. Thunder, lightning, high winds….but you would have never known it by how calm Courtney remained. We had such a fun time, but we kept moving. Makes my job so easy when a beautiful girl with fabulous fashion sense and full of grace is my subject.

Round two was in the studio. Courtney has been dancing since she was a little girl and dance has been a big part of her life.

When then we headed outside to try again. While we waited for the sun to go down, Brooklyn, Courtney’s younger sister – and my assistant for the night, pointed out some four leaf clovers. She was picking them out left and right and we decided that it was going to be our lucky day!

We ended our fun night with a few photos using a chair that belonged to Courtney’s great grandmother.

Good luck at BYU, Courtney! Congratulations!!!

Prom 2010

Bekah has cheated me out of a whole year of dance photos by graduating a year early….darn it! So when one of her friends called and asked if I would take pictures for her and her prom date, I jumped at the opportunity.

I have known 3 of these wonderful kids since they were around 13 years old. It has been so fun to watch them grow and mature. They have amazing opportunities ahead of them…

The fourth is an amazing young man with big plans – I know that he will be able to do anything that he sets his mind to. You can see it in his eyes.

On to the photos….
I asked one of the moms if she wouldn’t mind getting some helium balloons for the shoot, and because the dance theme was “Carnival” mom brought some lions and tigers as props. SO fun! As for the location, we decided that doing something a little different would be in order (do I ever do anything like the rest of the world?). Take four gorgeous teenagers and put them in front of some dilapidated buildings and you have amazing juxtaposition. The girls dresses just POPPED and I love how these turned out.

Thanks for letting me be a part of sen10r Prom. AND Happy Birthday, Tyler!!!

Enjoy!





Sadie’s 2009

My studio is pretty small.  Made for 2-3 people, it is a perfect place for seniors or small families.  But I LOVE it when I get to play with a big group.  Never mind that we almost took out a softbox on the ceiling fan.  Or that the temperature was a tad too warm….

Most of these kids have been friends for many years.  A lot of them are my daughter’s age (silly girl decided that she wanted to graduate early, so she is off at college).  So, I was so grateful that Courtney called and I got to play tonight.

If you have lost faith in the rising generation, try hanging around these guys for five minutes.  They are smart, they are funny, they know how to work, and they know how to have a good time.  Enjoy your sneak peak!  Hope the dance was a blast!
