Mattie Maternity Session ~ Boise, Idaho Photographer

I am in LOVE with these photos of her session. I really don't think anything gets better then outdoor pictures. You couldn't ask for a better backdrop and then add a beautiful mommy to be to the picture.... = perfection! This beautiful mommy to be is going to have a brand new addition in 3 weeks. She looks amazing! I cannot wait to photographer her new baby girl when she comes into this world!

Here are her two beautiful children now.

Urena Family Holiday Photos ~ Boise Idaho Photographer

This family won my free family giveaway session a few months ago. She wanted to wait until the middle of December for her session when there was snow on the ground.... she waited one week to long! Isn't that ironic. One week ago we had a foot of snow and a week later... gone. They are a beautiful family and this will be the second time I have gotten to photograph her little man. Thank you so much Amanda and I hope you enjoy your session sneak peak!

I love this family! Not only is Jodi the coolest hair stylist around and does an amazing job on my hair... and puts up with me with a smile on her face... she also has the cutest kids in town!

Making some changes over here for 2011

First of all I want to thank everyone for a wonderful year! It has been exciting and I have learned so much in the last year.

I will be making some changes this year in how I structure my sessions. As of the first of the year I will no longer be in my portfolio building stages and moving up into the Big Girl World of Photography. I will no longer include a CD in any of my sessions. Digital copies of your sessions can be purchased separately or you can purchase prints directly through me. I view my job as a form of art and the more and more I see CD's get delivered into my clients hands and not prints I never get to see my final product. I don't get to see what is going to go up into my clients homes. It is very important to me to make sure that not only does my clients get 100% of my time and talent but they also get the very best print that they can get. What good is a highy quality image if it is printed with cheaper quality ink and paper? I want my work, dedication and time to be 100% satisfaction!\

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS ARTICLE:
It may help you to see also what it takes for me to do one session and why it costs more for custom photography.

But I do have some VERY exciting plans for 2011 that I can't wait to share with you! I have some mini session ideas that I think you will love. I will always run specials and still have giveaways since I think they are so much fun!

If you have any questions about my new pricing or services please contact me. Thank you sooooo very much!

What should I wear?

I have been asked lately by many clients what they should wear to their session. It is a great question to ask because an outfit can really make a photo! How do I plan my sessions? Well I have two boys and a daughter. So unfortunately all outfits are planned around her! I find something that I like for her and then find things for me and the boys that coordinate around it. She is usally my pop of color in our family photos. I typically wear very plain and simple clothes. Why? Well because I don't want a holiday sweater that I will only wear once a year. I want something in my wardrobe I can wear everyday. So I usually go simple and then buy accessories. A great place to find affordable accessories is http://www.charlotterusse.com/ or even hitting Kohl's clearance department.

Here is an example of what I would put my family in for our holiday photos. All items can be found at Gap, Banana Republic and Charlotte Russe. We all know women are the pickiest about their outfits so I chose a casual outfit and a dressy outfit with mix and match accessories.... Now I am no fashion expert... but I think these outfits all look great together. Another thing to consider when choosing outfits is how will the outfits look separate from the family. For example... if you did a "kids" photo would the outfits coordinate together individually. I will be hosting more of these What to Wear ideas. I am so thankful for all my clients ideas!
