Sweet Baby B :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE photographing newborns!!! Meet sweet Baby B. I photographed her a couple of months ago and couldn't help but share a few of her images!

Newborns are best photographed before they are 10 days old but little "B" was an exception to the rule. She was just a bit older but was still so good and sleepy. I just loved her!

Mommies to be, don't forget to schedule your session in advance so that we can make sure to get your little bundle of joy in for their session. They will only be this tiny once and as a mother of 3 young children I can verify that they grow and change so fast...I am so grateful for the pictures I have of my babies...it helps on the days that my little ones give me a run for my money...I look back at their newborn portraits and remind myself just how precious they are.

Keep smiling,

Matt and Lara...I Do!

It has been said that it is all in the details. That is exactly the case when it came to Matt and Lara's August wedding. Lara thought of EVERY detail. She wanted to stick with a vintage theme and I think that she captured it perfectly from the favors (pictured above) to her dress (details pictured below) and her bouquet, which was the most unique bouquet I have ever seen!


One detail that anyone in attendance was sure to notice was the love between these two people.







Thank you to Matt and Laura for letting us share in your day with you! It was a fabulous event!

Keep smiling,

My Stella Polly Turned 2!!!

I had such a fun time taking my baby's 2 year photos! Yes, my baby is 2!!! Can I still call her a baby? She was a little stinker the entire session and kept me running after her as she stripped off her clothes and decided she didn't like the props I had selected for her session. Even with that I was able to get some great shots that really capture her sweet personality.

Don't forget that no matter what age you kiddos are they will only be at this stage once in their lives don't let it pass you by without capturing those moments to remember when they are gone.

Happy weekend!!!

Kaitlin Turns 1!!!-Pocatello Idaho Children's Photographer

I LOVE 1st birthday sessions! Kaitlin's was so much fun! It is always great when Sara brings her kiddos for pictures because it gives me a chance to catch up with a childhood friend. It has been so fun to get to watch her girls grow! Kaitin was about done with me taking her pictures but then we pulled out the cupcake for her to smash! She lit up! You can see the light in her big beautiful brown eyes in every shot and I love it!!! Here are just a few of my favorites...I hope you enjoy!









Last but not least...this shot was my most favorite for the entire session...It was like she was watching over her shoulder for someone to come along and spoil her fun and take the cupcake :) Of course we wouldn't do that!

Hudson and Hattie-Rexburg, ID Children's Photographer

I love these two little ones! It had been a while since I have had Hudson in the studio and at first he was a little cautious...but that is one of the things I love about him. He sits back and takes it all in and because of that I was able to get some of the sweetest, most honest expressions on his face. Little Miss Hattie also inherited the photogenic genes! We had to work hard to get a few smiles but when she smiles her entire face lights up! Smiles are great, but in all honesty I love the serious, contemplative looks on the faces of children in photographs...I am not one that thinks every photo has to have a smile...I like photos to be honest and these two kiddos blow me away every time I photograph them.

Brandon and Amanda's Reception (Blackfoot Idaho Wedding Photographer)

Have I mentioned that I loved Brandon and Amanda's winter wedding?! Well, I am finally getting around to posting some of the images from their reception. I hope you enjoy!



This cake was so pretty and fit the winter theme so well! It also tasted like heaven (if you didn't know...I LOVE wedding cake)!

Maecie Turns 1! (Idaho Falls Children Photographer)

I can't believe how quickly the first year of a child's life flies by! The case was no different for little Miss Maecie! I just love this little girl! She is such a tiny sweetheart and she is adored by EVERYONE who knows her (especially her mommy)! I had such a fun session with her. I LOVE birthday and "smash the cake" sessions and I appreciate that Lyndsi, Maecie's momma, is always so prepared for their sessions. She brings the most adorable outfits and she even baked the cake. Maecie is so full of expression and even though she wasn't feeling her best (she had an ear infection) she still brought out the animation! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAECIE!

If your babies 1st birthday is approaching call now to get their session on the books so that we are able to get your images back to you in time to display at the birthday bash!

Nate and Casey Round 2-Idaho Falls Wedding Photographer

I had to take a minute and share some more photos from Nate and Casey's wedding day. The bridal party was so much fun! I loved that the Nate was really involved in the photo process! Him and his groomsmen were up for ANYTHING (grooms and groomsmen aren't always that cooperative ;) I've said it before and I will say it again...I loved everything about their day!
