Lacey & Greg - Family Session

Last week my sweet sister and brother-in-law came up to visit- So of course we had to do a family photo session!

There are about 100 million more AMAZING images from this session and I will share more in another post in the future. We headed up to Saint Anthony and took a walk along the river. Idaho is so beautiful in the summer and all the variations in the scenery made for a diverse but also simple backdrop for this GORGEOUS family!

Little Eli did a great job, he is such an angel baby! Both of our photo sessions were dreamlike and it was all because of how chill and ADORABLE this little guy is!

I seriously LOVE shooting family sessions. It's a huge perk to the job to learn from couples and families. I love to see how they handle various situations (like standing on the edges of cliffs or venturing into sage brush with the possibility of snakes lurking nearby- but there were no falls and no snakes!) and how they interact with each other.

Obviously I am partial to this sweet family seeing as they're MY family! But, that aside, just being around Lacey & Greg for 10 minutes it is apparent that they are a completely perfect fit; they love each other so much!

Why do wedding photos take up such a large chunk of our budget?

As a photographer, I am always looking at photographs. I love to flip through photo albums from my parents' childhood, peruse my elementary school yearbooks and ogle my wedding photos from last year. Of course, I also love to click through my past clients sessions and see how happy they are with their loved ones, or how they learned to be comfortable and confident in themselves while flying solo during one of our portrait sessions. As a photographer, I chat with clients about their budgets for their upcoming wedding photographs all the time. I was married about 11.89 months ago and I can speak with experience from both sides of the bride/photographer table- the most important thing that you will spend your hard earned dollars on will be your wedding photographs. It seems hard to shell out more than 1,000 dollars for something you can hire your best friend from elementary school with the nice camera and kit lens to do for an 8th of the price, right? True, they will give you a ...

2017

I honestly can't believe how quickly time seems to fly the older I've gotten. Not that I think I'm old per-say, but as the years roll on, the faster they seem to pass. 2017 has been a great year with so many fun experiences. It has also been a year that has brought challenges, big and small, old and new. In 2017 we worked, we played, we cried and we laughed. 2017 brought us a perfect, wonderful baby boy. Wyatt is seriously one of the brightest lights in my life. Becoming a mother has been wonderful and I'm grateful that with each passing day it seems to get easier and more fun. It was rough going for the first few weeks, with "baby blues" and sleepless nights. But now whenever Josh and I sit and look at the cute faces our baby makes, when we listen to his giggles I can't help but feel like we are a puzzle, each making the other whole. We tried to do as many fun things as we could before I gave birth in July. For Josh's 28th birthd...

Mom Goals: Make more meaningful home movies!

One of my goals as a mother is to try and take lots of videos of my kids and family as we grow up. We live in a world full of technology. It is everywhere all the time... which for me, is a double edged sword. I like it and I hate it! But I am so pumped that we have such easy access to cameras and videos all day long so that I can capture so many of the fun things happening around us. The video above I made back when Wyatt was almost 6 weeks old and it is to one of my absolute favorite songs! It's called "If You Asked Me To" by Mckenzie Porter (she's Canadian!) and the music video she made is adorable. As a kid my favorite Sunday pass time was to watch home movies and look through photo albums. I want the same thing for my kiddos (and me) in the future so NOW is the time for me to break out the video camera (and iPhone camera, lol) as well as keep up with my tradition of printing a photo book every December for Christmas! Two years down, a million to go! Now for...
