Session Details

2010-03-05T07:55:00.001-08:00

Our sessions are always relaxed, never rushed or stressful - a far cry from the typical department store, mall-type portrait experience! Working on-location allows much more freedom and creativity. Small children do well and are more relaxed in their own environment resulting in original, creative and memorable portraits.

Clothing
Our motto in clothing is this: simple goes a long way! We like to keep the focus on the child/teen; therefore, simple clothing choices are best for creating timeless portraits. May we suggest solid colors avoiding busy patterns or logos/words. When photographing families or groups We suggest coordinating colors and clothing - denim or khakis and polos. Comfort is crucial for children - feel free to bring a favorite toy or blanket. Bare feet always photograph well. We do NOT limit clothing changes so feel free to bring more than one outfit.

Maternity Session
We like to schedule maternity sessions between 35-37 weeks. This time frame allows for mobility of the mom-to-be and takes into account for the early-arriving newborn. Sports bras, tube tops, and oversized oxford shirts photograph well. Please remember to remove any clothing with binding elastic at least a half hour before your session is to begin.

Newborn Sessions
We like to schedule newborns in the first 3 weeks of life. These sessions usually last the longest - up to 3 hours. This allows for frequent feedings, clean-ups and calming of fussy babies. Clothing is usually kept at a minimum.

Child Session
We like to schedule children between mealtimes and naptimes - mid-morning or late afternoon. We strive to capture the natural expressions and emotions - not the cheesy smile, look at the camera shot. This sometimes is a thoughful gaze, a wistful look, a perplexed scowl. We rarely pose children, We prefer to capture them as they are. We encourage parents to bring a favorite toy, blanket, instrument, etc to help make the child feel at home.

Senior Session
Senior sessions typically last about an hour and a half. We encourage seniors to bring items that help define their high school experience - such as letterman jackets, musical instruments, sports equipment, pets, and/or cars. Our goal is to capture WHO you are and not just what you look like!

Ordering Session

Approximately 7-10 days after your portrait session We will call you to set an appointment for your ordering session. At the ordering session We will show 15-40 finished portraits. Due to the custom nature of photography, payment in full is required when the order is placed. We accept cash or check ,sorry no credit cards. we will provide you with an online gallery link that will be active for 30 days for out-of-town relatives and friends to view your portraits. There will be a $25 charge to reactivate this link after it expires. Your reprints and enlargements will be delivered in approximately 3weeks.

Photos of the "P" Family

Back in January I had the pleasure of spending the morning with the Porters. Here is a few from that session.

The "B" Grand Kids

2010-01-07T17:26:00.000-08:00

It was freezing, I mean really freezing when we did this shoot. Cold hands, red noses but the spirits were high. No time to waste, had to work fast and try hard to get some good shots before the kids headed back to Boise where it was so many degrees warmer.

Idaho Falls Idaho Winter Photography Session

2009-12-30T14:04:00.001-08:00

The “F” Family photo session
We have been having some pretty crazy Idaho weather so far this winter and December is no exception... But, Monday was perfect. clear blue skies, the sun was finally out and just a little nip in the air, I couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon.
We got some really fun pictures and the kids were great. Even though it was a little nippy, they showed off their best smiles and were super listeners.
But I am pretty sure the weather is just teasing as I know that we are in for... Snow!

The "B" Grand Children Update

2009-12-21T22:30:00.000-08:00

These little guys were such good sport to be up early on a Saturday morning. It wasn't the best of morning to be shooting but we did our best to hurry and gets some shots that might work.

Pretty upstanding for a seven year old.

Pretty in pink and there is more pink on the cheeks than the coat I think.

This little guy was such a good sport. You can tell just by looking at his hands that it was time to call it quits.

50th Anniversary Sneak Peeks!

2009-12-20T18:47:00.000-08:00

This family was so much fun to work with. They were all so energetic and so willing to work with us. I hope they enjoyed it as much as we did. Thanks!
This is what I have had time to do today! I hope that you enjoy what I have done. There will be LOTS more to come.

Playing by the Snake River

2009-12-20T17:28:00.000-08:00

Genessa and I had some spare time Saturday so what did we do? Shoot, that's what. We found some new photo worth spots down along the Snake River. I can't wait to be able to use them.

BTW this is my Genessa, my shooting partner/daughter-in-law.

She's the queen of posses.

Thanks Genessa for putting up with me.
