I am cross posting this on my blog.  This was written by Marita of An Extraordinary Affair Wedding Planning in Boise, Idaho.  When it comes to wedding day preparations, do you pay any attention at all to the space in which it will all actually happen? 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...

So this is not my normal photography post, but I recently had a situation that might help people in the long run. I purchased two citysmart.com deals for 2 hours of cleaning for $50 from the Boise Cleaning Service back on Mother’s Day of 2011.  The coupon was good for 1 year and I planned on using the coupons in the month of the December just prior to my big Christmas party I have every year.  Turns out the company has gone under and just closed the doors after two months since the deal was live.  So now I was not notified by citysmart.com or by the vendor of this happening.  So after spending...

Awesome senior session with Derek from Rocky Mountain High School in Meridian at the Mk Nature Center. We had some great light with it being close to sunset. Thanks for coming out Derek even though you missed part of the BSU game. We did get to hear the massive roar from the crowd at the stadium. We are still doing senior photos so give us a call at 208-779-0183. I know a lot of the school have deadlines but fill out our contact form on the top of this page or visit our main website at www.cranestudioimaging.com and we will try to get you in and get your photo to the school in time for yearbooks.

Here are some teasers from Ashley’s Senior Session at the MK Nature center. She is a senior at Meridian High School. You would never know it from these photos that it was 40 degrees with wind blowing. Ashley was great and the cold didn’t bother her one bit.  She even went barefoot for all her photos which added a summer touch. We are still doing senior photos so give us a call at 208-779-0183. I know a lot of the school have deadlines but fill out our contact form on the top of this page or visit our main website at www.cranestudioimaging.com and we will try to get you in and get...

We had a great session with Megan from Rocky Mountain High School for her senior photos. As we were going into the Mk Nature Center we saw some deer in the trees. I thought there was only one but there was 6 in total that came out and walked through the parking lot. What a great way to start a session with seeing some amazing wildlife. The session went really well even though it was cold. The hardest thing for a person to do is look like they are not cold when they are in front of the camera. Megan did an awesome job and her photos turned out incredible. We are still doing senior photos so give...

Well the past couple days here in Boise Idaho it has been pretty cold so I decided to do a deal to warm everyone up.  The holidays are coming up and that means you will need holiday cards to send to family and friends.  So not only will you get a awesome photo session with Crane Studio Imaging, you will also get to choose from one of our many designs of 4×8 or 5×7 holiday cards.  You can also upgrade to our press printed folded 5×7 cards in which you can have photos on each side for an extra $25.  Also with this promotion we are adding in a custom animated slideshow with music...
