Catching up…

September 1, 2009

I’m back from Montana, and gearing up to take some great portraits and a couple weddings, but first I want to tell you about the last couple of weeks.  The fair was in town…it just left, actually.  And I am very happy it is over.  We live close enough to the fair grounds that I can hear it…and it is noisy, and it smells like B.O.  It is not the livestock that bothers me.  I was a 4-H kid, so I know a little about the fair, but this is not your average fair…it is overcrowded and understaffed.  (ok, so maybe that is average!)  Am I the only one, or when you are in a large group standing in a line, feel a little like cattle being herded down the shoot to get branded, or worse castrated?  Cuz that is what I felt like at the fair!  I think my nervousness and annoyance rubbed off on E-man a little, because the only thing he really liked was a pony ride he got to go on, and a sheep…that he made out with!

He is like his mom, he is a free spirit and loves to run…

He is actually chasing geese, I have tried to explain to him why ducks are better, but its always the geese he runs after.  Edgar, of course, was close behind to protect him from any danger!  :)

I also got my new sample books in, and they look great!

If you are interested in ordering one, Let me know and I will be sure to tell you all the info.  And if you happen to see your name on one of the albums, I will be giving you the album in about a year when I update my samples again! :)

And last…here is a little preview of what is to come…

So thats what has been going on around here.  What have you been up to?  I hope you all have a great day!

As you know I live in Boise Idaho.  Actually, I live in Garden City, in a modest house next to the river.  Its the RIVER part that made me want to live there.  Recently, I posted on facebook that I saw a family of raccoons while taking a walk.  A dear friend of mine told me that I was weird for noticing!  :)  I dont know why I am perceptive, and notice little things, but I do, and I dont think its weird.  I think its great!  We live in a very fast tracked world, and a NOW society.  I think My life would be dull and meaningless if I did not take the time to STOP and notice God’s creation all around me!  I am so grateful that God gave me the skills to not only notice what to others is unnoticeable, but to be able to photograph them and share them with my friends.

Here is just a little of the beauty I get to see every time I open my front door!  :)

My husband has been tending to a vegetable garden, we are happy to say we are eating the benifits of that little project, and it is delish! :)  Here is an Asian eggplant from the garden!

Today, stop and notice something around you that may be there everyday, and if you can take a picture of it and share it!  I would love to see it!  :)

This last Saturday was the Boise Jamba Juice Grand opening for their new store.   I was not busy being Boise’s favorite wedding photographer, so  I went to the opening with my son Elijah! :)  It was GREAT FUN!

As some of you may know, I grew up in Montana, where every town is a small town!  :)  We did not have luxuries like Jamba Juice there.  Around my junior year we did get a Junga Juice (different from Jamba), but is has since gone.  When I came to college, I got to experience Jamba, and Im glad I did!  Some good friends of mine and I use to roller blade to the Jamba Juice on Milwaukee (also gone), and get our favorites.  Will a Razzmatazz, and me an Orange Berry Blitz.  We marked it on our calendars when the Power size and the sixteen oz. size came out!  In fact I still remember that the sixteen oz. debut on October 16th!

Now, Jamba juice still plays an important part in my life today.  Many Photographers have superstitions and always eat the same breakfast before a shoot, or always wear the same shoes, etc.  I go to …you guessed it…Jamba Juice to celebrate after finishing up at a wedding or chasing your little ones all over the place trying them to hold still long enough for me to take a picture!  and now with the new location I can go after EVERY shoot, not just occasionally, it is my new “superstition!” :) What can I say I love my Jamba!

So, if you are on Eagle road, be sure to stop in and get a Jamba Juice at the new store.  Its on Eagle and McMillian connected to the Albertsons there!  And of course you can still get your Jamba on at the Edwards 21 Cinema location.

Now for a picture of my son enjoying a tasty treat at the grand opening(did you really expect me to NOT have a photo? What can I say, Im a photographer!)

Hello!  

Well, I love photographing everyones special moments, as you know, capturing a second of time for you to reflect on forever.  It is the greatest, and I am thankful that I can do it as a career!  One thing you may not know about me is that I did not have a professional wedding photographer at my own wedding.  I know! SHOCKING huh?  So after editing and editing photos of OTHER peoples weddings I decided to see what I could do with the 100’s of photos family and friends took of my wedding.  They are actually beautiful and captured the moments quite well!  Seth and I got married in a secluded campground in Idaho City, and we wore our bathing suits and jumped in the river!  it was great!!!  I LOVED it!  I have ordered an album of my wedding, and love it so much I decided to make these albums available to all of you, for your weddings.  If you want pricing info let me know!  :)    

Here is what the albums look like:

On a different note:  I have entered a contest similar to the biggest loser for photographers HERE.  They will be updating how we are doing every tuesday so be sure to check their blog out and cheer me on!  :)

So, I know you all have been anxiously awaiting to see what the rusty hinge was for!

 

 

Well The time has come to show it off to the world!  I have made some free postcards that I will be putting around small towns surrounding the Boise Area.  I have decided to celebrate small town America, because that is what I grew up in and LOVE.  I hope to raise my children in a small town environment, and make SURE they have small town manners!  One of my friends likes to call it “Gods Country.” Its true, nothing beats wide open spaces, friendly neighbors, hard work and miles and miles of wheat fields!  

 

 

I did not make this idea up on my own!  Bryan and Leah Rupp of Bryan Rupp Photography came up with the idea and made postcards for there town in Newberg, Oregon.  So, if you are needing pictures taken and you are SOOO sad because you live on the western side of Oregon and I am unable to travel, have no fear!  These two are excellent photographers and would love to take your picture!!!  :-)

My Husband is SOOOO sweet!

February 23, 2009

 

I hope everyone had a great valentines day…I know I did!  I worked like a mad woman at Kyoto Japanese Restaurant, hosting!  We were so busy!!!!!  If you came in to eat, Thanks…If you didn’t…you should come in sometime!  its DELICIOUS, and easily the best sushi in Boise (though I might be a little biased!)  

While I was dealing with the CRAZY amount of wonderful guests we had, by husband came in with a bouquet of flowers.  This was not just any bouquet, it was a replica of my wedding bouquet!

I was more than thrilled…not only because it is a supper sweet thing to do, but because, I was secretly regretting some of our wedding photos, and the ring shot just happened to be one.  I always thought if only I could get my wedding bouquet back I could take the pics I want myself!  Then…without him even knowing….He got my Wedding bouquet back!!!!  :)  now I can have cool ring pics!
