Black Friday Shoot

Jaymie contacted me a few months ago asking me if I would do a family shoot on Black Friday. Of course! She lives in Alaska, and was coming to town for Thanksgiving to be with her two twin daughters, and her sister and niece. And of course Rosie the dog came along too.

Being with the five wonderful women was an absolute delight. This was the first time in 12 years that all of them had been together at the same time, and it was such a pleasure to capture their fun reunion.

Despite the crazy cold weather, we got a little tiny bit of sun for a few minutes. Wahoo!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

Jeff, Blu and Anna

Meet Jeff, his wife Blu, and their adorable daughter Anna. Luisa and I have been friends with Jeff and Blu since we moved to Idaho, and I was excited at the opportunity to take their family pictures. I actually did a shoot of Anna last year, that you can see here on the blog...seems like FOREVER ago. It took Anna about, lets see...3 seconds to warm up to the camera.

Anna was such a natural in front of the camera. Here, Blu and I were telling her to open her eyes by saying, "Big eyes". She was awesome at opening her eyes, along with her mouth.

I LOVE this time of year in Boise. Gorgeous lighting, beautiful colors, great location and awesome family. Life is good!

So Anna is three, as you can see here, and can make about every expression in the book. She put my camera to the test as she'd literally second after second pull a new expression at the camera.

Here's just a FEW example of those expressions. Like, "What are you talking about?" or "Cool...whatever!" It was honestly hilarious and I had to do everything I could to stop from laughing as she pulled expression one after another.

And of course, we had to throw some leaves.

Hope you all enjoyed! Have a great day!

Wells Family

Luisa and I recently returned home from photographing a wedding in Aruba, and while travel is nice, and Aruba was MORE than wonderful, it is so great to come home. I love where I live, and I love the fall. The leaves for the past few weeks have been a gorgeous blend of colors. Right before leaving for Aruba, I had the chance to photograph this awesome family at Kathryn Albertson Park in Boise. Luisa and I have become really great friends with the Wells, and I can say that they are one amazing family.

Thanks so much Wells Family. You are all absolutely wonderful and have the most amazing and cutest family!
