I have been getting lots of calls about doing family photo shoots on Mother’s Day May 13th 2012.  Unfortunately I am unavailable due to a Mother’s Day Fmaily Portrait Walk Event at the Coolwater Creek Event Center on that date.  We do have other weekends available this month but please get them in before June because I am booked almost every weekend with weddings.  For more information on the Coolwater Creek Event, click here to go to our other article about the event.

Being a wedding photography here in Boise Idaho I have met so many great people in the wedding industry from wedding planners, florist, venue owners, caterers, etc.  Today I want to introduce you to one of the newest vendors in the Treasure Valley, her name is Becky and she owns Treasure Valley Photobooths.  This isn’t you regular photo booth which you see in the mall those standard rectangle booths.   These booths are more like pods and they are a lot more user friendly and more hip then those booths you have seen in the past.  I had the chance to demo one at a trade show in Las Vegas...

Tired of those brunches with the family that you do every year? Why not try a new Mother’s Day event at the Coolwater Creek Event Center in Meridian, Idaho.  This is the first year for the Coolwater Creek Mother’s Day Portrait Walk.  What is it you ask?  Well your adventure starts off at the front office where you will wait for your tractor pulled covered wagon to take you and your family to the Old Western Town of Coolwater.  Once you get into town you can sit on the shores of Mirror Lake, tour Wild Bill’s Saloon, Sheriff’s Office and Coolwater Hotel.  The center of town has...

Happy 1st Birthday wishes to Kinsley! I have had the honor of photographing Kinsley even before she was born.  Mom had some awesome maternity photos.   So with celebrating her 1st birthday we decided to do a cake smash session and as you can tell from the photos she did an amazing job.  She loved the cake and a couple of time I actually thought she was posing for the camera.  She was absolutely adorable and I can’t wait to continue photographing her as she grows. I am putting together a permanent cake smash collection where you can get 60 – 90 minute session, 15 digital...

A lot happens there in a short period of time and whether you choose to get ready at a private home, a hotel or at the venue, even though you have little or no control over the environment, there are some things you can keep in mind when selecting your space. This is just one of many details that will all come together to make a difference in your...
