Another Beautiful Senior....

We split this session into 2 days. On Day one we went in search of a great field so we could put her dad's awesome truck and a cowboy hat to use! We left late and the light didn't last long, but it was beautiful!





On day 2 went exploring downtown and even found a fun new location!




a few from my new fav spot....




sorry for the image overload, but how do you pick a fav with gorgeous stuff like this?! :)
Thanks A - You're just gorgeous!

Sneak Peak for my Dear Friend...

...Who's wonderful husband is being deployed next week. I was so happy that she asked me to capture her family before he left.
Thanks so much "L"! You guys were great!
Here's a few of my fav's so far...Enjoy!

First Day of School!

Woohoo! Everyone (yes me included) was excited for this day to come. Today we all rose bright and early to get ready for the first day of school. Even Bellla was up by 7 (VERY rare for her) with a smile on her face!
They weren't, however, thrilled about letting me take their pictures. I'm sure you can tell but what i have to share.


Happy School Days girls!!!

Thwee Odles....

Is what Jack will answer when asked, "How old are you now?"
Yup- JackJack turned 3 yesterday and to celebrate, we had a big bar-b-q with our funfun friends.
We added a little spiderman theme to the mix...

When It was time for cake, we gathered everyone around (about 40 people) so that we could sing to him a blow out candles. I get my camera out and Jack starts freaking out. He jumps off the stool and announces, "I've gotta get my hair ready!!!" and runs off to the bathroom. 2 minutes later he comes out with dripping, slicked hair. I swear I had nothing to do with that.
So... up at the bar again, candles burning, and the whole party singing Happy Birthday and my CAMERA DIES!!!!! I was sooo ticked! my friends are asking... do you want us to start over.. we can re-light the candles...etc... But I'm convinced I won't be able to fix it so the party goes on.
Well.. My dear friend Stephanie takes over and gets some GREAT pictures with her CELL PHONE! Yay!!! Thanks Steph!!!


Notice how he refuses to look at her too? :)
Well... then shortly after cake and icecream time I get my camera back working. PHEW!
I run outside to grab one of him on our new swingset that my Cliff worked so hard on to get done by the party.

Then it's Present time which was mass chaos. He didn't want to look at me for any of the pictures or even stop to show me what he got. I had to get a picture of this though.... A couple of weeks ago I asked him what he wanted for his birthday... His response = A elephant!
Okay.... So I find this cute fluffy elephant and pick it up for him. He Opens it, takes one look at it and hands it to Bella saying, "Here Bella, this one's for you." Hahaha... I guess it looked girly to him or something.

Then we had Pinata time! Woohoo...
Jack absolutely LOVED having the freedom to WHACK the crap our of something! I had a hard time getting the stick away from him so other kids could have a turn...

His favorite new thing is the Star Wars electric ride-on 4wheeler. He wouldn't let me take a picture of him on it, but some other cute kid was all grins for me on it. :)

So Happy Happy Birthday mr. JackJack! I'm so glad that you're finally thwee odles!
LOVE ya!!!

Miss Beautiful!

Okay - but i'm such a dork! We drove all the way out to Boise for this session, which is a good 45 minutes away. We get there, find our first location, and i start snapping away. I look down and my camera is flashing " NO CF CARD"! ACK!!!! I open my little pouch and I have 1 2 gig card in there. That woulda been just fine if I didn't shoot in RAW. So I'm freaking out, but then "L" reminds me that there's a best buy a few blocks away. Yay - I can go buy one...... IF I HAD REMEMBERED MY PURSE!!???!?!? UGH! So i had to shoot, shooot, shoot, then delete any that i thought were crappy....then repeat... all night long.
So to make it up to her, I promised her another 1/2 seesion here in town. So... you just might be seeing more of her. :)
Thanks for dealing my dorkiness "L" :)

Part 3.... PEPSI anyone?

Okay - I guess this will be my last post of these guys. I hope you don't miss them. I know I will though.
We just had to hit this pepsi machine before the sun set. I sent the 2 oldest girls into albertsons with a $20 to grab a six-pack of pepsi and off we went. We literally shot til the sun went down. SOOOO much fun!!!
Thanks again guys! It was a blast!!!









until next time...

Part 2....

You would not believe the amount of Fabulous proofs I have for this group. The great pictures just kept loading and loading and i kept proofing and proofing. I think I'm gonna have to re-do my whole website with all the new fun stuff I have. Sooooo... sorry for the photo overload. I couldn't help myself. :)











Oh... and guess what?.... I have more! so stay tuned! :)
