New Year, New Goals

Okay, maybe they're not so new. They're things I've been meaning to do but just haven't started yet. I've never really made "new years resolutions" before and I don't really intend on starting because so many people make them and then quit not too far into them. These are my goals. Yes, I will fail at times but they're things I'm working towards. If I start to slide in one area I can always jump back in! That all being said, let me begin my short list that I'm sure will grow with this year.

1. To blog more often. (If you read back you'll see that I only blog when I have shoots and I'd like to change that. I want to blog about life and all it's happenings. I love journaling and remembering and documenting so why not do it for everyone else to real....all my two blog readers ;)

2. To carry my camera around with me more often which will hopefully result in me taking more pictures which will then lead to me blogging more instead of having them sit on my hard drive. I'm hoping that it will also stretch me creatively to try new things and see a different way.

3. To create a photography website because this is all I have right now and websites look a lot more professional.

4. To get a gym membership (what? isn't that what most people do this time of year). Sure, I wouldn't mind losing weight but I mostly just want to be in shape and healthy. Plus, I'm going to be playing indoor soccer here soon and I'd rather not have people running circles around me! Ha!

That's all I have for now. I know my list will grow and I also hope that it will dwindle...in a good way. Dwindle because I will be crossing things off my goal list that I have accomplished.

So, if I even have any readers, and you'd like to leave a comment I would love to hear your goals for this year!

Miss K- Boise Senior Photographer

What a beautiful young woman!! I've known K for a short time because we go to the same church but this session allowed us to get to know each other so much more! We have so much in common it's crazy but really cool!

K, you're awesome and you're so mature for your age. I enjoyed getting to talk with you and to photograph you and I'm excited to see what's in store for you in the next year! Enjoy!

Beautiful Mamma To Be

This is my beautiful friend Bekah who is due any day now!! She just glows and radiates beauty and I hope that, one day, when I'm preggo I look this amazing! Bekah and Charlie, I am so excited for you both. You will both be amazing parents and I can't wait to meet your baby boy!

The Lemesurier Family

I can't get enough of how beautiful this family is, both on the inside and the outside. They are so easy going and that made this photo shoot such a blast!! It barely even felt like a shoot! We met out in Kuna at Cabalos Apple Orchard (such an awesome location to shoot) and picked apples....and ate them. Oh yea, and we took pictures too! Baby L is a month away from being a year old and we wanted to capture some of her and the family together because she's growing up so fast and about to be a big sister. She also REALLY loves apples. She ate them the whole time!

My business partner, Zach of Zalpix Media Group, came with to capture some video of their beautiful relationship. The video isnt ready yet but be sure to check back within the next couple of weeks. Photo/Video sessions will be available soon so make sure to book us to capture your beautiful family and the beautiful relationship you have together(photo/video sessions will be elaborated more in a newer post coming soon).
Here you go Lemesurier family and friends! Hope you enjoy!

Baby I- Boise Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting this little beauty this weekend! She has turned this family of four into a beautiful family of five. She was so alert and happy for only being a couple of days old and was an absolute joy to photograph!!

So tiny in Daddy's hands.

The Williams Family - Boise Family Photographer

They aren't only cool because we share the same last name (no we're not related) but because they are such a fun, loving and awesome family! With kids ranging from age 7 down to almost 2 they've definitely got their hands full but the kids are great!! We met up this evening on one of my favorite streets and walked the alley ways stopping when we saw cool places.
Thanks Williams family for going along with the vision I had for this shoot. Hope you enjoy!!

Miss L- Senior Class of 2009

My partner in crime!! I was super excited for this session because we are good friends and I knew that she'd be up for some fun and possibly crazy ideas. She was...and she even brought props!! L was up for anything and even helped me find some new places to take pictures!! It was nice having this session because it also gave us a chance to catch up.
L, I wish you the best when you head off to college and don't forget to keep in touch!!!
