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!

Liz and Anthony are engaged! – Boise wedding photographer

November 16, 2009

Liz and Anthony are a really fun couple. They contacted me about using one of the Holiday give back sessions as an engagement session! I, of course, said YES!!! It was really fun watching these two interact. They worked so well together; I barley had to tell them how to pose. They just “fit” together. I could tell they were deeply in love and I know they will have a great life together.

We decided to do a “urban” session. We walked around Boise, and enjoyed all the town has to offer. camp-1

camp-2

They taught me something new…The Linen Building has a Sunday art market…you can guarantee I will be stopping by there on an upcoming Sunday! :) The Building is also decorated with some cool graffiti in the back! camp-3

camp-6

Want to know something crazy?!? These two lovebirds use to live in Billings Montana, a place I have spent some time as well! ;)

Anthony really wanted Liz to be serious and not smile…Liz Loves life, so this was a hard feat. This is the best “not smiling” photo we got! :)

camp-4

My favorite photo…I love the passion that this shows, Anthony really likes Liz! :) Not only did I like this photos but so did the people driving by that were watching us! ;) camp-5

The wedding is not in Idaho, so you may not see this lovely couple again, but I defiantly would not mind photographing such easy subjects again! I had a lot of fun with them! ;)

October 5, 2009

This last wedding was a ton of fun! The bride and groom really love each other, you can see it in their eyes! They are the youngest couple I have ever had the privilege to photograph a wedding for.

The bride was more than a little excited to see her Groom as she was getting ready… sandjwedding-6

At first she was very calm, but as the day went on, and she got her dress on, she was just plain happy! sandjwedding-7

The groom was pretty excited too! sandjwedding-9

Sharissa and Jeff chose to do things the traditional way and not see each other before the ceremony. Here is Jeff’s first look at his soon to be wife… sandjwedding-10

And Sharissa’s first glance at him… sandjwedding-11

Of course when you have a wedding, it always helps me out when you have beautiful people to photograph! :) These girls were no exception. And I might add they were pretty fun, and great dancers! ;) sandjwedding-8

The boys were fun too, When I asked them their names, I thought they gave me fake ones! They didn’t! They are just that awesome! One did tell me he was a model though, Im not sure if he was serious or not..can you guess which one? sandjwedding-13

Off to the reception! sandjwedding-12

Here is another cake by the fabulous Heather, and I dont think I am the only one that thought it looked good! :) sandjwedding-20

The first dance… sandjwedding-21

…and the rings! sandjwedding-28

I think they were just a little happy about being married! sandjwedding-30

Sharissa and Jeff~

Jayme and Robert are married! – Boise Wedding photographer

September 7, 2009

Jayme and Robert have tied the knot. They got married this Saturday at the Christ’s Church, the little chapel off of the BSU campus. Their wedding was beautiful, and the bride was like a model! She knew how to pose and was very photogenic, making my job a little easier! :)

I was suppose to meet Jayme and her mom (who was also the made of honor) at the hotel for makeup, and preparation. Imagine my surprise when Jayme’s dad answered the door, and Jayme was not there yet! I was not sure if I was at the right door or not! Soon Jayme arrived, and we got down to business. jandr-1

As you can see she is a gorgeous bride…and she has great taste in shoes! jandr-10

Robert had his son be the Best man, and he was one of the cutest best men I have seen! :)

jandr-4

And now the bride and groom! jandr-5

jandr-7

When Jayme and I met to discuss what she wanted from a wedding photographer, she mentioned she liked the selective color photos…I think this one is great, and very dramatic!

jandr-8

jandr-9

R-man and J-man were very happy to be cousins…and I think grandma was excited too… jandr-6

Now off to the reception. The reception was held at River Rock Alehouse, which created a fun laid back atmosphere, and provided LOTS of delicious food to eat! And a cake by Heather!

jandr-12

jandr-11

jandr-16

The night ended with lots of fun and dancing. jandr-13

jandr-14

I must say, even though there was a lot of dancing, no one could quite move as well as J-man! He defiantly knew how to get his grove on, complete with the robot, and MJ moves! :) jandr-15

Jayme and Robert~ Thanks for letting me take part in your beautiful day. I hope you have many years of happiness together, and will treasure the memories made at your wedding forever.

Meet Keidre – Montana Senior Photographer

August 11, 2009

Normally I am a Boise senior photographer, but I love to travel, and was visiting Montana to see my brother who recently got back from Iraq. While I was there, I got to take some photos!

My earliest memory of Keidre Shaw is riding on a church van with her to Colorado. She was about 6 and I was 15. She was copying my every move, and me (along with her Uncle) listening to the Vegi-Tales song “Where is my Hairbrush” repeatedly. Now she is graduating from high school, proving my oldness!

This senior session was done over the course of 2 days due to rain! And just a reminder, this Boise senior photographer is still looking for some senior models which you can find out more information about here.

Meet Keidre:

keidre2

What is the Best Thing about graduating?

Only one thing?…I guess the memories and friendships I have.

Mountains or Ocean?

Ocean definitely

keidre4

Rap or Country?

Country, to the horror of my friends!

Your most quoted movie?

possibly The Princess Bride (I must say great choice Keidre!)

keidre21

Favorite verse or quote?

verse: Romans 7:15- I do not understand what I do. for what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

Favorite flavor of ice-cream?

Depends on the day, but never chocolate!!

Favorite item you own?

Possibly my seashell collection…idk

On Saturday you will find me doing…?

Cleaning, or with friends

The song I am playing over and over right now is…?

ahem… a part of their world off of little mermaid

The song I hope I never hear again is…?

anything by Elvis…

Keidre9

In the future I see myself…?

Working in the mission field.

Something you would never do again and why?

Not accept someone because of first impressions, because so many people miss out on the best friendships because of wrong impressions…

Proudest moment?

When I heard my uncle was going to China

Most embarrassing moment?

Which one?!!!

If I had $5,000 to spend all at once I would…?

Buy a car and the insurance to go with it…

What word best describes you?

Crazy fun!!

What word best describes your photo shoot with Joncee?

Unique, definitely.

Keidre~ thanks for spending time with me and letting me take your photos! I know you will be GREAT at the things God has in store for you! :) You have became a beautiful person, inside and out!

Trash the dress x3 – Montana Photographer

August 6, 2009

I am in my hometown in Montana, visiting my family and my brother that just got home from Iraq! My sister asked if I could take some pictures of her friends for her to decorate her dorm room with. Last year she had a lot of empty picture frames, but after this adventure, I don’t think she will have that problem. My sister is a little crazy, and like me, would never turn down a dare, so I knew if anyone would be up for a trash the dress session, she would. Normally these sessions are done with brides after the wedding day, but because none of these girls are married we did it with formals, all purchased at Goodwill for less than $15!

Meet Sharla, my sister…hang on guys she is single and easily the nicest, genuine Christian girl you will meet. Not to mention, you will get an abb workout from all the laughing if you are around her! mud7

Meet Kirsten, my neighbor that I have known almost all her life, and I must say…WOW! She has grown up in to a beautiful person! mud13

And Tynagh, who loves animals and can convince anyone she knows to give her a piggyback ride. mud6

Together these girls are three peas in a pod, and ready for anything! mud2

We also had a young man named Sterling join us, and we are glad he did. We had told him what we were going to do and he said, “I want to come!” We thought he was joking, but he showed up, and I’m pretty sure he thought we were crazy! mud3

Now, I live by the river, and almost always put on a long sleeve shirt around dusk because of mosquitoes. I’m not sure why we did not think of it, but as a facebook update put it this morning “229 mosquito bites later I finally found something I’m allergic to…” and that 229 is NO exaggeration! I have a mosquito bite in between my toes, and everywhere else! It was crazy, in fact if you look closely, you can see some mosquitoes on the girls! They were such troopers, and when you get pictures like these it just might be worth it! mud12

mud11

mud8

mud5

I don’t know about you guys, but I think there are some possible modeling careers in the works for these girls… mud4

mud9

mud10

Thanks girls, and Sterling! you guys rock and I am glad you had fun, despite being a buffet for mosquitoes! mud1

If any Boise brides, or friends want pictures like this, let me know! And to all my Montana readers, I WILL travel!

Roxy – Boise Pet Photographer

July 27, 2009

I grew up around animals. All kinds. From the tigers at Zoo Montana, to horses, to cats and dogs, to ferrets, I’ve seen them all. I love them all too! In fact, a lot of the people in my life, probably thought I would grow up to work with animals, either as a veterinarian or a zoologist. Now, as a Boise pet photographer, I am working with animals! I love to photograph pets, as well as their human friends. I understand how important our pets are in our lives. I could not imagine my house without Edgar (our Lab mix)!

Who does not love puppies? This little girl was full of energy and fun to photograph! When I arrived at the Young’s house, Roxy eagerly greeted me with kisses galore, and tried to get a ride on my shoulders! I was in love, but how could you not be with this face looking at you?

puppy4

Most of the time she was a great model, but sometimes she tried to hide in the grass. :)

puppy3

Roxy loves her treats! Look at her tongue!

puppy5

Then mommy turned on the hose! Roxy had the time of her life! :) Awww…to be a puppy…

puppy

Thanks, Amy, for letting me spend some time with Roxy! She really is a cutie.

The sweet Life in Garden City Idaho – Boise Photographer

July 23, 2009

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! :)

nature2

nature3

This little guy was supper fast! It was hard to focus on him as he zoomed around!
nature5

nature6

nature7

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!

nature4

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! :)

Elizabeth and David Married! – Boise Wedding Photographer

June 16, 2009

I had so much fun at the wedding I shot this last Sunday! I have been excited to be the Wedding Photographer at this wedding since they booked me, so this post is a little picture heavy. I just could not narrow it down anymore! :) The wedding was located at this AWESOME location called Hey Barn Event Center! This venue is so cool, I could have spent hours there just looking at all the neat things and little touches they had all around to add to the atmosphere. If you are thinking about getting married there DO IT!

I met the Bride that morning at A Renewed Image, a local solon that does airbrush makeup. I had never seen airbrush makeup applied before. Wow! It was great! Not only did it look natural, but it was fast to apply, and photographed wonderfully.

After the Bride’s hair and makeup were complete we headed to the Barn. I got there just a little before the bride, which was perfect for me to do some detail shots. I know how much all you brides plan every detail, so as your favorite Boise Wedding Photographer, I strive to capture them all for you. Here are a few:

Cpoyright PBJM!

The bride got dressed at the Barn. She had a beautiful gown, with a green lace up back!

Here are the boys!

And the Girls!

The Bride and Groom opted NOT to see each other before the ceremony. It was cool to see them react to each other once they did see one another. I think this couple will be together for a long time to come!

Look, they wanted to run toward each other before the ceremony, but we HAD to keep them apart! :)

The Bride’s brother, Greg, had to give the Groom “the talk!”

But I don’t blame him. She was looking pretty good! :)

And of course, we can’t forget one of my favorite things to shoot… the Rings! The beautiful Flowers you see are from Boise at its Best.

Elizabeth and David~

Thanks for letting me be apart of your day! I really loved getting to know you and taking your pictures! Have a great time in Yellowstone! Your online gallery will be up soon! :)
