The soon to be Mrs. White

I had my first bridal session last week. And no, that does not mean I'm going to start doing weddings for those of you who are wondering. I don't think weddings are my niche. But bridals are a little like senior pictures, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. You'll look beautiful Caitlin!













































This one kind of reminded me of an old wedding picture, so I wanted to try something different on it. She looks like such a classic bride.

So cute!

I went out tonight for a little shoot with my good friend Audrey. I took two of my nieces and Audrey took her little girl, Abbey. After I finished up with my little girls and they were thawing out in the car (it got pretty darn cold tonight) I took a few shots of Abbey. I had to share just one. Isn't she a doll! That huge grin is contagious! It makes me smile.

I tried

I'm not sure what I was thinking when I decided to take the kids out for a photo shoot by myself. Lily has been a little better lately about pictures, so I think I was feeling overly optimistic that I could get a least one good shot of our three kids together. Maybe even one where all of them are looking at me and smiling. Oh boy, was I way off. When we first got there, Lily was happy and smiley, and Bo was the stinker. He just kept pouting and wouldn't look at the camera. It's so frustrating because I knew I only had a very small window of time with Lily and I had to try and deal with Bo. Isn't he too old to act like that? Mason was being his usual helpful self. Thank goodness for him.

This is the only one that turned out somewhat okay. At least no one is crying in this one.



The boys were waiting on the red stool until I could wrangle Lily over to sit on it with them.



Still waiting...



Mason was finally able to lure her over with a ladybug.






As you can see, she did NOT want anything to do with sitting and smiling for mama. These pictures make me laugh.....now. It was anything but funny to me at the time.



Oh......and there's that sweet face I was hoping for earlier.




Next time Ross is coming with me.

Baby Lincoln : Pocatello Idaho newborn photographer

My sister had her sixth, that's right, sixth baby a couple weeks ago. So, I headed to Pocatello for the weekend for his 1st official photoshoot. He was a great sleeper which made it hard to stop taking pictures of him. We just kept sticking in prop after prop because he let us. I've got lots of newborn stuff I've been wanting to try out, so I took advantage of this little one. Thanks for the fun weekend Steph!

Little baby "T" : Nampa Idaho newborn photographer

This little guy was such a pleasure to photograph. He slept like a dream and his big brother is the most mature toddler I've met in a long time. He was full of questions and was so interested in everything we were doing. He was so sweet with his new baby brother too. Thanks for inviting me to your home and trusting me with your little one. He's a doll. Enjoy.
















This one is for daddy...
