A couple weekends ago I had a great session with an awesome family! I seriously was in tears a few times…this family was so FUN!!! Thank you M&T! It was great to meet you and I really enjoyed our session! You have an amazing family and I appreciate you choosing me to capture such a fun day for you!!! Enjoy your sneak peek!!!
A spider picture for the boys….one of the bridges was covered in these! The boys loved checking them out! I say ick! NO THANKS!
Wishing you all a great weekend!!!
Announcing a new fun product!!!! The darling 3×3 Mini Accordian Books! These books are printed on press paper and come with either a black leather cover or a hard back custom photo cover. They have a magnet to keep them closed to protect the accordian pages and can also be used as a magnet on the fridge! A perfect brag book just the right size to carry in your purse or priceless gifts for grandparents and friends. Remember this session? of sweet baby Hudson? And the “special gift” for his mama if she got 30+ comments? Well….this is it!!! FINALLY! Yeah, yeah, I know…..I am SO behind!…but better late than never! 
And remember this session? This mama also got 30+ comments and her own sweet mini accordian book! This is the digital file of it…..but you get the idea……
And another sample……they are just too darling!
If you love these as much as I do, please email me for info on these awesome mini accordian books! I have a bunch of sweet designs!
Happy Friday! Well…..TECHNICALLY it’s not Friday yet….but I have appointments in the morning so I am posting tonight…Thursday! But, what the heck? Let’s start the weekend early! It’s going to be hopping around here the next few weeks so don’t stray too far! I had an amazing session tonight up at Schweitzer…….just one for now….SERIOUSLY? Does it get any cuter than this???

Being a cancer survivor and having many friends and family affected by cancer, Sandpoint’s Relay for Life every June means a great deal to me. Each year, I like to donate something if I can to help in the fight against cancer. This year, I donated a mini session and a mini session album to the winning bidder…..and that winning bidder was Lisa! Lisa really wanted some updated family photos out at Mirror Lake and I was happy to oblige! We had so much fun at our session and it is just gorgeous out there! Thanks so much Lisa for bidding on my session….it was great to meet you and your awesome family!
After this weekend, for so many reasons, I have much to be thankful for. I woke up in the WORST mood this morning…..but thankfully, it was nothing that a little bit of photo editing and Pandora can’t cure! I have tons of client sessions to edit…..but for right now….I really need these photos. Without my family….I can’t provide my clients with my best work…..so….with that said…..lucky you! I am sharing the 3 people that make me SO HAPPY….and I am so THANKFUL for!!! Then, it’s back to work for me!!! I have the most adorable baby waiting to be edited!!! Love babies!
I LOVE this man……and this photo……I LOVE his work boots, carhart pants, Bailey’s Plumbing sweatshirt, the backwards hat, and the fact that he is taking work calls on our camping vacation…..he never takes a minute off, always providing for us…….such a great man, husband, dad. My best friend.
I LOVE this little man…..his blond hair and blue eyes do me in every time…and he knows it. Such a mama’s boy….with a kind heart….but so full of spunk and bossiness…hmmm…I wonder where that comes from? He is growing up so fast…climbing 15-20 feet up a tree…playing with sticks in the fire….exploring……I don’t care how “big” he gets….he will always be my baby. And he will always make my heart pitter patter.
I LOVE this little girl…….her giant blue eyes and perfect little face…….covered in strawberry jam…..she is our sunshine. One time a lady called her “child of the light”, I am not sure what that means…..but she is our Light and so bright. She is sweet as pie and could be on comedy central…..her favorite saying lately is “silly mommy!”. You forgot my water silly mommy…..you forgot to get my snack silly mommy……you forgot to wipe my face silly mommy. A miniature Staci they say…..but all I see is BELLA….BEAUTY….BEAUTIFUL. She makes me so HAPPY!
I mean really? How could you NOT love her? Her Aunt Jen bought her a case of princess shoes….oops…silly mommy…I mean “glass slippers!” She wears them constantly even is she doesn’t have the match!
Sorry Bellie…..all the silly, goofy, quirky things are what I love most about you…..even your pouty poo poo faces! xo
Phew! I feel so much better now….amazing what a little gratitude will do! I hope you all have a FABULOUS day!!! xo
Just one for today…..isn’t she just a sweetheart? I think so….and somebody’s son thinks so too! His first crush….sshhhh!!! I didn’t say a word!
These last few weeks have been absolutely CRAZY! I have been seriously swamped….swim lessons – which we skipped today so I could get some work done…..bids, bills, and paperwork for my husband’s business……garden work, house work, and yard work………sessions, orders, editing, fb and blog posting……and most important of all….my wife and mommy job. Life is just getting away from me….I have lessened my photography work load quite a bit…..but with summer in full swing I don’t think it has done that much for me. I must say I am a little behind in getting sessions edited….but for good reason. I am a wife and mom first…photographer 2nd. And although I work like crazy trying to keep up, sometimes it just doesn’t work out that way. With that said, thank you! to all my recent clients for being so patient! This morning I got an email from an old friend….the manager of my college volleyball team….it was a song that he thought I would like……and I did. I liked it so much I wanted to share with you! It was a wonderful reality check for me……..I love it as a mom because every word rings so true…..and I love it as a photographer….because capturing different phases of your childrens life is so important….because “It won’t be like this for long”………
Warning……if you really listen to the words…..grab a tissue….you are going to need it!!! Thanks Will…aka Willa….for emailing me this song!!! You seriously made my day! xo
Enjoy your day!!! Enjoy your children!!! Enjoy your life!!! Loves to all!!!
Engagement photos have to be one of my favorite types of sessions. The couple actually WANTS to have their picture taken and it always ends up being so much fun! I get to try different things and the couple is so excited to document this fun and exciting time that represents the beginning of their life together as a soon to be married couple! I especially love when the camera captures their connection….their LOVE. This couple is so sweet and I was so honored to be able to take their engagement photos!!! They are getting married this fall on the east coast and I am so happy for them! Thank you Nick and Jill for having me take your engagement photos!!! Thanks for being so patient…….Finally!….here is your sneak peek! I hope you enjoy!!!
Being HUGE Ohio State Buckeye fans…..of course we had to get some photos with their jersey’s on……
AND some photos with their “baby”……their sweet lab Buckeye!
Out of the entire session……this is one of my absolute FAVORITES!!! There is just something so sweet about it….something that moves me emotionally……and he looks so happy getting a kiss from his woman…..
But not so sure he is as happy getting a big ole kiss from his “other” woman, Buckeye!!! hee hee…..had to end with this one….I think they should use this as their engagement announcement photo….what do you think? It’s great!…right?
Congratulations Nick & Jill!!! And thank you again for having me capture this awesome time for you!!!
