Bittersweet | Boise child photographer

wenderful — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:23:41 +0000

I’ve been waiting for this day for 15 long years. I’ve had visions of what I’d do with my vast amounts of time, including lunch with friends, cleaning my house uninterrupted, trips to the mall, …naps.

So why was I so sad to see my baby off to kindergarten last week?

Bittersweet.

It either means I’m reminded how old I’m getting, or I love being with my kids.

It’s probably a little of both.

But I can guarantee this bittersweet feeling was not shared by him.

He could not WAIT to get to “real” school.

I offered to drive him his first day but he promptly declined my offer, preferring to take the big yellow bus instead.

Sigh…

I guess there’s nothing left for me to do but… go to lunch with friends, clean my house, and go shopping.

Bittersweet, I tell ya!

Adorable does not begin to describe this family. They were also laid-back, happy, playful, fun, and so easy to photograph. I have to give a shout-out to Jake. Many times at family sessions, the least excited about the whole idea is the husband. Not so this time. Jake happily followed my limited directions, got down and blew bubbles with the kids and didn’t complain one bit. He even had ideas of his own and helped Katie engage the kids while I shot. Katie, good pick.

My top collection (all images from the session on a cd plus your choice of a handful of select print products) now comes with a fabulous and fun high def video of your session as an option.

Katie and Jake, Thanks for a fabulous evening session. Click on the link below to enjoy the video!

Spring! | Boise, Idaho Child Portrait Photographer

wenderful — Mon, 24 May 2010 20:04:33 +0000

Spring is upon us, although if you’ve stepped outside my house today, it would be hard to believe. It’s almost June and I still haven’t planted the garden yet because it’s still too darn cold! I have yet to break out the t-shirts and flip flops.

So, to help me get into the spring spirit, I’m posting these two from a previous session. It was actually teetering on warm the day I took these, back in April.

I hope it’s warmer where you live and that spring is in full bloom!

Come back tomorrow for my first post in my new series of weekly interviews. I’m so excited!

Happy Monday!

And I love it!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Peaceful New Year!

See you in 2010.

It's amazing what a sword, a darth vader glove, and an audience will do…

Still editing.

Love these of the kids.

i heart faces – fall

I’ve been so busy working on this blog site that I haven’t entered any of the iheartfaces photo contests lately.

But since I’ve been lucky to have photographed so many families in the last couple of months with the awesome fall colors, I figured I would join in this week.

Here’s my entry:

Go check out all the fun fall pics here.

Halloween catch-up

wenderful — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:06:40 +0000

In between editing shoots, my Photoshop class assignments, and the crazy week of Halloween, I have not updated this blog with anything other than Photography stuff.

I’m actually in the process of developing a separate blog specifically for photography which I hope to be up and running by Thanksgiving. I miss posting about my regular life and all the blase things that are going on.

Halloween was a success. We have a ton of candy hanging around, and even more wrappers. The candy fairy may have to pay us a visit soon.

Here are some pics of a dead ventriloquist, Charles Bronson, a true Jedi, and Ron Weasley…

Hope you had a fantastic Halloween!

Just in time for Halloween!

This was last year’s costume but it makes it’s appearance every so often throughout the year.

You can never get enough Darth, right?

Check out all the other festive photos over at iheartfaces.

Happy Monday!
