Here is a cool photo I took with my new lens…and my favorite bible verse.  Enjoy!

Jessa turns two!

January 17, 2010

Guess who turned two!  JESSA!!!  You may remember this cutie from their family shoot.  Well, today we made the drive to Payette Idaho to celebrate a special girls birthday!  There was cake, there was ice cream, there were balloons, there were games, and there were friends.  Jessa had a great turnout to her 2nd birthday.   She laughed and clapped as we all sang happy birthday, and blew out her candles!

I love this moment I captured between Jessa and her mom…

Jessa is a great girl in so many ways.  At two years old she smiled and said “thank you” to each person as she opened the gift from them.  That is until she got her very own laptop!  

Cody, Lisa, and Jessa~ Thanks for hanging out with us and letting us tag along with your family!  I loved meeting your nieces, sisters and parents.  All the children in your family are so cute!  It was great to see you all too.  The age of two is fun, and Jessa is precious!  you are both doing a great job with her!  We are excited for you to come over for the LOST party!  Are you all caught up yet??

One Sunday I went to church at the Vineyard Boise, and took a friend.  She wanted to go see our other mutual friend.  We all three (plus E-man) ended up going to lunch, where we found out that the capital was having a grand reopening, showing off the new wings they spent millions of tax payer money on to make, and that our friend and his sister were playing the fiddle and guitar there as part of the opening!  We decided we had to go!  So a quick call to my husband, sopping by the house for the camera, and off we went!

The Idaho state Capital is located in Downtown Boise.  It was originally made in 1905.   It was made to look like the white house from the outside.  On the inside, it is covered in beautiful white marble!  I had never been in the building before the restoration, so I dont have anything to compare it to, but it is very impressive!  To find out more about the building you can go here.

Once we got inside I was on “hold the cranky, nap skipping, two year old so he does not break anything” patrol, so I did not get to take many photos.  Seth my husband took a few though!  Eman could not stop staring at the ceiling, which was painted with stars to look like the sky!  He loves stars…I’m not sure why, but they are defiantly his favorite shape.

We also got some pictures of our friends playing!  They are very talented and it sounded great!  

if you have not had a chance to go check out the capital…do it!  It is pretty stinkin cool!

A one year celebration!

January 5, 2010

Kenneth and Audri MacConkey loved their family photos so much that they decided to schedule a session for just the two of them.  Actually, Kenneth did all the planning as a surprise to his wife for their one year wedding anniversary!  We had plans to do an engagement style photo shoot downtown at sunset, but because it was a surprise to Audri, we had some scheduling conflicts.  Needless to say, by the time they got the kids to the baby sitter, and we met up, we had not choice but to shoot in the dark!  I had never shot in the dark before, so this was a fun challenge for me!  I learned alot, and hope to do it again sometime!

It was freezing outside, so we spent some time in a parking garage.  This parking garage had lots of different colors to work with!

We also traveled down Freak alley, which was a little creepy, because I have always been told to stay out of dark alleys.  We even saw a guy tagging!

Audri had t he idea to sit on park benches and read the paper!  It turned out very cute, and ended with a kiss!  ;)

As we were walking back to the car we found an interesting corner of a building, so decided to use it for more kissing!  I told them to hold it, and after I got the shot they teased that it was to longest kiss they ever had!  ;)

KENNETH AND AUDRI~

Happy one year of marriage!  You two are awesome!  I know there will be many more years to come!
