Well, I haven't posted in a while because I've been SLAMMED with volleyball. I am reffing 5-6 nights a week, trying to do things with/for my son who just turned 7, and hoping that I can see my husband every now and then. Unfortunately, this time of year, I don't have many slots open for photography BUT we are getting that fall weather and I'm excited to start doing a bunch of beautiful fall family portraits! October is one of the busiest months for family portraits. The fall leaves/colors in Idaho are amazing. It's really fun to take a family on location and let them just have fun, naturally interacting with one another. Those moments make the best photos!
Take a look at a few of my past family photo sessions and see what you like. You'd be amazed at the deals that I give families.
The thing that people love the most is getting that big canvas to hang on their wall at home. There's nothing like it.

Man oh man I have been busy. It's now volleyball season, which means I'm reffing high school and college volleyball and doing photography. Not to mention being a full time mother and wife. I almost can't keep my head on straight at times.
I have been gearing up for the school year with a lot of seniors and also shooting sports teams. It's been pretty crazy but I love it. You can find me as a sponsor for a few different schools in the valley listed in their programs or their booster boards, etc. I like to be involved with the schools and their sports teams. Now that everyone is connected on social networking, it makes things so easy and fun too. I really love to see kids tag themselves and chat about my photos.
I'm going to give you a little slideshow of the Rocky Mountain Volleyball team. We went up to the Boise Depot and shot all kinds of different photos. They were all dressed up nice in little black dresses. Wow, I almost didn't recognize them. :) Good luck this season Rocky!

Welcome to my new blog page. Honestly, I'm not much of a blogger. I am so busy that it's really hard for me to keep up with it. However, once in a while I want to put something "on paper", as you could say, to keep and remember or to share with others.
I'm going to start off my new blog page by highlighting my time at the Boise Music Festival. I was hired by Peak Broadcasting to shoot this event. It was an amazing time, and also a long HOT day. I drank more water in that one day than I usually do in a week. I probably walked about 15 miles or more, around and around Ann Morrison Park. I was stationed as the photographer for the Main Stage. (There were 5 stages) The acts on my stage included Andy Grammar, Sugar Ray, MC Hammer, Joan Jett and more. I am familiar with shooting concerts and celebrities, but it's always nice to do an outdoor show with so many people all over the place. It's such a fun atmosphere. My favorite things were shooting with the fisheye lens from on top of the stage behind the bands, getting the crowd in the background. It was also fun going up on the scissor lift and shooting from up high. I find that I LOVE being up high. It's just great being able to see everything/everyone around you and they have no idea that you're seeing them. It was similar to being up in the rafters (catwalk) at Qwest, which I do often and love.
MC Hammer wasn't the headliner, but he was the best act. He and his dancers were amazing, they really got the crowd going and they were super nice too.
I will quit blabbing and let you see some of the photos.... Enjoy!
