Bittersweet | Boise child photographer

August 30, 2010

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!

The Light Workshop|Boise natural light photographer

August 18, 2010

On my ongoing quest to become a better photographer, I’m always on the lookout for classes, workshops, and personal challenges. In September I’ll be attending AfterDark in Portland for a 3 day hands-on round-the-clock workshop with over 30 fabulous mentors. I’m so excited about it!

The next workshop on my list is The Light Workshop, which I actually don’t have to leave home to attend. It’s an online class focused on learning how to see and use natural light to create beautiful images. If you’re looking for a wonderful online workshop, check out Detra’s blog for more information!

Here’s my shot a practicing finding and using natural light. I took this at the edge of a parking lot just as the sun was going down. The fake smile was the result of begging any one of my four children to please just stand in the weeds for a few seconds so that I could get the shot. Here’s the poor child who caved to my pressure.

These kids were fantastic. They woke up early so we could catch the glorious early morning light only to be greeted by the bay area fog. I had forgotten about the fog. And, having teenagers of my own, I know what a sacrifice it is to wake up early in the summer. But we soldiered on, nonetheless, and captured some fun portraits of these awesome kids.

Enjoy your sneak peek!
