Talk about a gorgeous wedding! When I met Hailey and her mom Tonya back in January I knew right away we’d all hit it off great. We sat down over a cup of coffee and they told me all their story, plans, dreams for their wedding day, and I felt right at ease knowing I was their girl. The details and work they put into everything was shown and I had the most incredible time documenting it.

This summer I had a fun opportunity to participate in a doula AND newborn session giveaway with Elevated Birth. If you haven't met her or follow her you'll want to soon! She's always showering us with the best knowledge about all things baby and good ways to prepare for birth. Right away when I met the family who won, I knew right away I met new friends. Scroll through to see the sweet faces that make this family of 7 complete. 

These three. No words to describe how wonderful they all are. I've known Kimi since my Starbucks barista days and when that sweet girl was in mama's belly. All of us would get overly excited when we saw her car pull around the corner so we could serve her a tasty beverage...And when she stopped coming for a few weeks we all knew her babe was here. We've kept in touch off and on (not often enough if you ask me!) and when she wanted photos this summer I kept looking at the calendar and counting down the days like it was Christmas. The love they all have for each other made it effortless to capture and it was a dream session for my photographer heart. Take me back to that evening again and again!  Love you, sweet friends. xoxo

What can I say, I'm a sucker for love and adventures. My hubs has been buddies with this man since before I met him and they were both residence assistants at BSU when I was in their hall.  I got to know Lance throughout college and then he stood up with us as we said our "I do's". When we were early married he introduced us to rock climbing and we spent a few great summers climbing multi pitches up to see the best views in Idaho...

Newborn inquiries have been flooding my inbox lately and I'm pretty over the moon about it. This sweet family welcomed baby girl number 2 and it couldn't have been a smoother morning session. I never know if baby will sleep at all when they're 3 weeks (which is okay for a lifestyle session and just as precious when they don't ;) ) but more times than not we get a snoozer, with or without an excited big sis. It also amazes me how quickly they learn how to sleep through the excitement when they have a sibling. Give me all the babies to photograph, Boise! 

Another perfect spring evening in the Boise foothills. I'm a little late in blogging this session, but busy season has begun, friends!  If you haven't noticed but I live for the hills, but especially in the spring and fall. These sisters were so sweet to photograph and they all proved they love to have a good time. I have to be honest, a few extra nerves showed up this time when mama is a photographer herself. All worth the added pressure for the outcome. Scroll down to see what they’re doing for the finished product!
