Kathryn Albertson Park may be the go-to spot in Boise for outdoor portraits, but Veterans Memorial Park holds its own in natural beauty. Young Boise model Cara and I shot these portraits in the park’s woods and the shore of Boise Lake Cascade – she had no problem getting waist-deep in the clear waters! For more photos from Cara’s session, check out the Facebook album.

Last family session of the year! 🎄 It's that s

Last family session of the year! 🎄 It's that season where I check the weather about 20 times per day to make sure it's cooperating for photoshoots, so having an indoor backup plan like the beautiful Idaho capitol building (all decked out in colorful Christmas finery! 🎀) always makes things less stressful, especially with a forecast like last weekend's 💦 It was so good to see these guys for their annual session...and have just enough good weather for a few unexpected outdoor photos as well 😊 Here's a sneak peek!

🎶 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

🎶 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 🎄 Well...at least as far as decorations go, Boise hasn't really gotten the memo about snow yet 😄 What we HAVE gotten though is a whole lotta fog...and Laney's mom and I were emailing slightly frantically day-of about whether we should postpone 😬 But like magic (a Christmas miracle!) the fog cleared out just before Laney's session and gave us the most beautiful glowy light! Combine that with Laney's gorgeous outfits (I LOVED how cheery her red top was in particular!) and we had one amazing senior session 😊 Plus she brought along a book as a prop and when I asked her what it was and her response was The Hobbit...well, I knew it was meant to be, with Lord of the Rings being pretty much my first love in life since I was 13 😁🧙‍♂️ Here's a sneak peek!

That magical moment when you get above the inversi

That magical moment when you get above the inversion-fog and the whole valley is an ocean of mist below you 😍☁️ It's been a rough week to find the sun so we were all THRILLED when it came out for the second half of Chaz's senior/family combo session up in the foothills of Boise! And for the rest of the photos, the always-lovely state capitol building gave us some warm holiday cheer with the poinsettia décor livening up the marble...and a great break from the bone-chilling cold outside 🥶 Here's a sneak peek!!

Happy frosty #seniorsunday with the beautiful Kayl

Happy frosty #seniorsunday with the beautiful Kaylynn! ❄️ If you've been living under a rock, Boise has been in the throws of an inversion the last week (fog trapping cold air and pollutants in the valley while the surrounding mountains are warm and sunny, more or less), which is getting old not seeing the sun for days on end, BUT it does lead to this absolutely stunning frost coating all the trees 😮 It may not be snow, but it still creates that winter wonderland vibe that makes a photoshoot just magical! 😍 Kaylynn was such a star powering through temps well below freezing, and that cozy red blanket she bundled up in a few times between photos was the perfect accessory for a cheery holiday pop of color 🎄 Here's a sneak peek from her session Friday!

When it's cold cold cold out there but you're an avid fly fisherman and your line gets caught on a branch so you have to walk out into the river to retrieve it anyway...why NOT take photos in the middle of the ice-cold water? 😄💦🥶 I'm always a big fan of bringing props to sessions, so I was thrilled Elias brought along his rod...and so impressed with his cold tolerance (and tree-climbing abilities - swipe to the end for that)! As he was telling me, he usually wouldn't be fishing in December, and if he were, he'd be in waders out in the middle of the river, buuut we didn't want to COMPLETELY freeze his toes off so we staged it a little 😁 Here's a sneak peek from this fun senior session at Barber Park yesterday!

Who says you can't get beautiful portraits after t

Who says you can't get beautiful portraits after the leaves are off the trees? 😎 Busy season has steadily tapered off over the last couple weeks as fall gives way to winter, but this gorgeous family's session Saturday is proof that even in the colder months, you can still get beautiful glowy results ☀️ A sunny day and open non-treesy location like the Military Reserve sure help too 😁 Here's a sneak peek from this senior/family combo shoot! And if you like what you see and have been dragging your feet on getting a session scheduled, I still have a few dates left between now and Christmas 😊

Sunny and nearly 60 in mid-Nov with no wind?! 😮

Sunny and nearly 60 in mid-Nov with no wind?! 😮 AND leaves still on the trees?!? 🤯🍁 I was so happy Emerson and his dad were down to move their session from next week (cold...and cloudy...and bad) to yesterday and give us some of the best conditions of the week, and what a perfect day 😊 We had the best time wandering downtown through all the hidden alcoves (you see Boise in a whole new light when you're on a hunt for photoshoot locations!) and testing Emerson's balance on a couple semi-precarious ledges 😄 And that light glowing off the capitol building at the end of our session for the lacrosse photos - how cool! Here's a sneak peek from this great shoot 😎

Look at these sweethearts 😍🍁 Last year Asher

Look at these sweethearts 😍🍁 Last year Asher was a chubby-cheeked smiley stationary baby - this year he was a chubby-cheeked agent of chaos toddler on the run at all times 😆 His poor parents were at their wits' end doing everything they could to get Asher's attention and some giggles out of him, but kiddos are going to kiddo and this little dude was just not in the mood. So I chased him around and we did what we could, and you'd never know half our session was wailing and sighing 😄 If it ever seems like you're the only one with kids who suddenly dig in their heels just for photo day: nope! You're not ❤️ You just get to see the non-meltdown highlights from everyone else's sessions 😊 Here's a sneak peek!

Fall is still hanging on out there! 🧡🍁💛 T

Fall is still hanging on out there! 🧡🍁💛 The 2nd week of November is about the time those pretty leaves come to an end, but fortunately we haven't gotten a mega cold snap or wind storm lately and conditions by the river are still going strong...which was great news for beautiful Liv's session with her family on Saturday 😊 I was so glad she brought her cello for a few shots (2nd cellist I've gotten to photograph in a week and a half!) and that we got such an amazing sunset gracing our final photos! And mild non-windy conditions this time of year?! Yes plz, even if it meant half of Eagle was also out enjoying the beautiful day 😄 Here's a sneak peek from this lovely shoot!

Is Throwback Friday a thing? 🤔 No? Well, we'r

Is Throwback Friday a thing? 🤔 No? Well, we're making it a thing today anyway because I've never been good at trends 😁 These guys were some of my very early clients waaaay back in 2012 (possibly from when I ran a deal on LivingSocial, which was a Groupon alternative of the time...is Groupon even still a thing?), and I was so thrilled to hear from them again and see how their family has grown! Back at our first shoot they only had little Cruz who was a year and a half at the time...and now look at them with three kiddos almost all grown up 😮 And I loved their idea of combining their own family photos with a big group family shot with their business partners, and letting each family take a few of their own shots too! Here's a sneak peek from this beautiful golden glowy shoot in Eagle yesterday...and swipe to the end for a shot from 12 years ago and baby Cruz 😘

A week and a half ago it was 70; now it's...snowy?

A week and a half ago it was 70; now it's...snowy?! 😱❄️🤔 Okay, maybe not totally fair comparing valley temps to up in the mountains at nearly 6000', but still, quite the change 😄 The chilly conditions and dusting of snow were perfect for senior Devin though who spends a lot of his life on the ice anyway, so he felt right at home - he didn't even take his mom up on her offer of hand warmers or a puffy jacket between shots! So glad we got a beautiful sunny non-windy day for his session yesterday 😊 Thanks for being an excellent model Devin, here's a sneak peek!

When the sky looks doomy out of nowhere and threat

When the sky looks doomy out of nowhere and threatening rain/hail and the wind gusts are gusting...but they die down just in time for a great and not TOO freezing senior session 😅 I almost thought I'd made the wrong judgment call telling Emilio and his mom our weather would be just fine yesterday, but I'm glad we went for it and didn't let the dark skies discourage us - we even got a little sunshine! ☀️ This kid has the best easy authentic smile and I was so glad Kathryn Albertson Park still had a good number of leaves left, even if you have to hunt for them in unexpected places by this time of the year 😊 Thanks Emilio for powering through the weather with grace and a positive attitude...and for even being willing to do a couple photos in short sleeves despite the temps in the 40s 🥶 Here's a sneak peek, and no I did not actually Photoshop off your mustache like your mom and I were joking about! 😆

When it's early November and in the 40s out but yo

When it's early November and in the 40s out but you just really really wanted to be barefoot in the river 😄🥶 Jenna had a vision to pull off and was determined to make it happen even if it meant her toes temporarily going numb, and holy moly did it yield epic results! 😱 That dress with the fall color and the moody dramatic sky...WOW. Neighboring Kathryn Albertson Park wasn't looking too shabby either, even if by this time of year we're hunting in lesser-known corners for the best foliage still hanging on 😊 Here's a sneak peek from this amazing senior session yesterday!

Samantha!! ❤️❤️ I had the best time workin

Samantha!! ❤️❤️ I had the best time working with this beautiful girl Wednesday and hearing all about her many hobbies - cello, guitar, lifeguarding, and water polo?! Talk about a busy schedule! The leaves were looking picture-perfect at Julia Davis with not even a single other photoshoot in sight, and of course we had to amble over to the heart of downtown for the 2nd half of Samantha's session, since she spends so much of her time there as a Boise High student 😊 We even got some photos outside iconic Flying M and Samantha's mom grabbed her a coffee as both a prop and a handwarmer (it's getting a li'l cold out there, guys 🥶). What a fun session - here's a sneak peek!

The feels when it was just in the 70s over the wee

The feels when it was just in the 70s over the weekend but dropped 20 degrees for your session and the wind tries its best to destroy your cool hair every chance it gets 🤪 Poor Cason was battling some truly blustery conditions Tuesday but handled it all with grace and amazing smoldery modeling skills...and on the plus side, we actually had some sunshine and no rain, which is the most you can hope for this late in October! This guy has the coolest car and chill demeanor, and I so appreciated his go-with-the-flow attitude waiting out wind gusts...and his mom being a 10/10 lighting assistant and keeping my softbox from taking flight 😁 Here's a sneak peek from this chilly downtown shoot!

All kinds of animals end up in our photoshoots: I've worked with dogs, cats, horses, even a duck named James Pond a few years back 🦆 But three horses, two dogs, and a few cows? I think Trevor's session might take the cake for most animal-heavy senior shoot! While the cows didn't make it into this preview (they were feeling feisty and suspicious of the camera 😆), we got some amazing shots of Trevor on his family's farm out in Melba with an epic background of storms over the Owyhees - no composited skies here, just Idaho being Idaho 😎 Thanks Trevor for sharing your beautiful property with me and looking so cool leaning against silos, climbing hay bales, and trying to get your horses to pay attention and stop munching grass 😄 Here's a sneak peek!
