I've been dying to take some photos out at the farm in American Falls, and the Orr family was so nice to agree to drive out their for their photo session. The grain isn't quite yellow yet, but it's still so pretty out there!
Such cute kids! Should have more from this session pretty soon...
Mikelle and Travis recently adopted another baby. We are so excited for them! What's even more exciting is that Mikelle is now expecting her third! I will be so excited to get to photograph their new baby boy!
Here are a few photos from a recent shoot with their sweet Jaidyn.
Big sister Macy is pretty excited to have a little sister.
Did a little mini-session for a friend who just had a baby. Big brother Gavin is really excited about the new addition to their household!
I love the chance to take photos of senior boys, but I don't get to very often! So I was excited when Landon decided to come down from Rexburg for a photo session. I've known Landon since he was a baby, so it was fun to chat with him after all these years.
Had such a fun time photographing this cute girl from the Boise area. She wanted to come to Pocatello so that her photos would be shot in different locations than all her friends. She's heading to the SCAD in the fall. Wish her luck!
The Orr's just had the cutest, tiniest baby girl. I may be biased (because of my own little 5-pounder), but I just have a special place in my heart for extra-tiny babies!
Over the weekend, a family in my neighborhood asked if I could do some family portraits for them. I will be totally honest--family portraits absolutely terrify me. It's not that hard to make one or two people look good on film, but when you've got seven people who have to have their eyes open at the same time it gets a little tricky! But these guys are such a fun family to be around. I've known them for years and it's been fun to have the chance to get to know them again after being gone so long. So, I had a good time taking these.
Aren't these the cutest sisters? You may recognize Katie (on the right) from some earlier photos. They are the most photogenic girls ever. They seriously look good in every single picture.
This one makes me laugh. The expression on the face of the littlest guy cracks me up.
At this time of year, the light goes quick! We were seriously chasing it down by the time I took these.
I still have lots of work left to do on this recent session with a great senior guy who was such a great sport about having his photo taken (I definitely know this is not something most guys love to do!). But I know his mom is anxiously waiting to see how they turned out, so here are a handful that I've finished since yesterday.
(Now you have "Bittersweet Symphony" going through your head, don't you.)
Jason is a running freak, so, of course, we had to do a few at the high school track!
A couple of weeks ago, I did a Senior session for Katie, who I've known since she was a cute five-year-old (oh, the funny stories I could tell about Katie...). We've been friends with their family for a long, long time, but it still amazes me how lovely Katie has grown up to be! She was so fun to work with and knew all sorts of out-of-the-way places to take photos, so I had a blast with this one. Here are some of my favorites.
Are we hard-core enough to add custom graffiti to our neighborhood just for an awesome photo, or has Kim been at it with her mad photoshop skills again? I'll never tell.
This is my sister Shanda's fave (Katie and Shanda have been friends for as long as I can remember).
It may be a couple of weeks before I finish all of these, but here's a quick preview of my most recent engagement session of not just one, but two Virginia law students, one from UVA and one from WLU. That's right, folks, this is Virginia's newest up and coming power couple! They are so very obviously completely in love with each other, which made my job so much fun! It's really great to see a couple so happy together, especially when they are both right in the middle law school finals. Yikes!
I asked them to "make out like monkeys" for this shot, and they did not disappoint!
Thanks again, guys! Can't wait to work on the rest of these!
