Miss Idaho Photos

Miss Idaho is about to take place and I was super lucky to have taken photos of three seriously gorgeous girls! You can see their headshot they submitted to Miss Idaho at www.missidaho.org

First is my "Original" Meg. I met her last fall and we took awesome photos of her. If you don't believe me, check out my website under the "faces" category. Meg has a vibrant spirit. I just adore her. She's so outgoing and thoughtful. She sent me a thank you card after our session, that's how nice she is! Meg has such a glow about her and it was awesome to see her win Miss Boise. She's a natural up there and she just really shines. If you haven't noticed, Meg dramatically cut her hair. It was hilarious... she called me and said she really wanted to cut her hair, but wouldn't do it unless I could take her photos. She would need an updated photo for the judges. I've never felt so important! LOL... Seriously! So... we met up and took some more awesome headshots. Meg is the reason why I carry a mirror and comb in my purse now... Every frame we took, she had to check herself out first. I think that's why those photos turned out so gorgeous. I just LOVE LOvE lOvE Meg!

Second is Shannon. Shannon is so beautiful!!! Shannon is Meg's little sister and believe it or not, they're running against each other in the Miss Idaho Pageant. They just love each other too... We were able to take some photos of Shannon, then add Meg to some. They turned out ADORABLE! I just love them!!! Shannon is a little more laid back than Meg, especially with the mirror and comb thing, but they are so much alike! Shannon also gradated this year, so we took a few senior photos too. Shannon won Miss Ada County. I wasn't able to go to that pageant, but I'm sure she rocked it!

Last is Laura. Laura is Miss Nampa. I think she's so incredibly pretty. She just has something so striking about her look. We had such a good time taking her photos, but you wouldn't believe how cold it was. Oh... and the wind... it was horrible! We'd have to wait for the wind to settle down, then hurry and snap as many photos as I could (which if you know me, and my photography style, you know that's not hard for me! Ha!). Laura was a trooper though. She changed her clothes several times and I just felt for her. She had crazy goosebumps, but kept posing all she could! I think we took some great photos!!!!

Good luck girls! I'll be there rooting you on!

Easter Dresses and Big Brothers

I met up with the Wood family at the Train Depot. These two kiddos were awesome to take photos of. They had so much spunk. They had so much fun running around! I love that! I love being able to bring out real personality in photos and I think I nailed it with these two! I love the Easter Dress too! So adorable!!!

It's a Small World

This is the Kluksdals. I met them through an attorney I work with. They have two adorable little girls and they were just awesome to work with. Their three year old Bailey... She's so funny! I had her "pop her hip" and look how adorable she looks! I thought she was hilarious! It didn't take long for her to warm up to me! LOL... Too awesome!!!!

So after we sent the Kluksdals their photos, Kellie and I became friends on Facebook. She saw my profile photo which is a photo of my hubby and me and come to find out, she knew my husband in High School. They totally graduated together and everything. He edited their photos and didn't even recognize her due to a hair color change. I thought that was so funny! Dave is usually very observant, so I thought it was hilarious he didn't recognize her. When I mentioned it to him, he said, "I knew she looked familiar! Her hair threw me off!"... LOL... It's such a small world!!!!

Senior Love

Lately, I've taken a lot of senior photos. I think senior photos are some of my favorite kinds of photos to take. Seniors are so adventurous and spunky! Two most awesome things needed to make an incredible photo.

First, Here's Chenise. Can I say GORGEOUS?!!! I about melted when I saw her big brown eyes! They're so pretty, and that flawless hair of hers... I'm telling you... it was such a pleasure to take her photo! We met at her house out in Marsing. Her family has super awesome places to take photos... which I love cause it mixes things up. We had a great time and I hope and PRAY Chenise loves her photos as much as I do!

Next, here's Andrea! Andrea is another super cute girl I was able to take photos of. She was totally up for adventure. She was up for anything and that makes it so fun! We had a great time down town Boise and train depot. I loved her outfit changes and Andrea really brought her A-game to our session! We had a blast!

Last is Shelby. I had the pleasure of taking Shelby's family photos a little while back so I knew it was going to be a fun shoot. Shelby is a super sweet girl. She was so awesome to work with and she really knew how to pose. I love that! We had a good time and I think her photos turned out so fun! I think you can really see her personality come out in them.
