Megan & Jeff {Engagement Photographer}

  A quick trip down to Boise, Idaho this past weekend had the purpose of an engagement session with a very cute couple who are getting married on New Year’s Eve. We were there for about 30 hours, but managed to pack a lot into the time. Visiting with good friends (parents of the bride to be) was wonderful and we got a tour of the church and were able to talk with the church’s wedding coordinator to find out more about that special day! We can’t wait to return for their big day…talk about a celebration…besides being New Year’s Eve….it will be a beautiful wedding for this special couple!

Megan is a gorgeous young woman and Jeff isn’t too bad himself…and together, what a great looking couple they make…and both are so very nice…it was my pleasure to be asked to do their photos. And, truth be told, I could photograph them all day…although, I’m not so sure Jeff would like that…he’s more your typical guy who isn’t that fond of photos and figured two or three would be good enough…haha…he didn’t know me and my style! I will say he was a GREAT sport and didn’t complain a bit and I think that because he loves Megan so much, he would have done about anything for her! A warm evening there and some pretty scenes around their home, we didn’t have to go far and as a matter of fact the first spot was right in Megan’s parents back yard with a beautiful pond behind them…talk about heaven, it was beautiful there! OH, and we can’t forget their “child” who was part of the session for some photos…Bailey, a cute little lhasa apso mix who is very sweet and has a funny little “snaggle” tooth (not my words…the “grandfather” of the dog used this term!!)…what a cute family they are!!

Here are just a few of the many photos I took that evening…they are the nicest couple!!!! Can’t wait for their wedding!!!

A few more…

Just wrapping up the photos for Megan and Derek’s gallery from there session a couple weeks ago…and couldn’t leave a few more alone…just had to edit and share! This couple is great…enjoy!

Ahhh…a beach session ~ San Diego, CA

Greetings from sunny southern California! It’s been really nice since I’ve arrived and even the cooler (and one wet) days are still wonderful! I do love the sunshine and am crossing my fingers that by the time I arrive back home, there’s more sun and warmer temperatures!
It’s been a fun visit so far…time with my mom, my sisters and brother were here over the weekend and we had a great time together…family is so important and I’m glad we made the time to spend together. My brother and I will drive back with my mom to her home in Spokane at the end of the week.
So, a little work thrown in with some vacation time…and that’s just a perfect mix! Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting Kamie and John, whose wedding I’ll be photographing this coming Saturday. Kamie’s family joined us and we had a fun family session…despite a bit of wind and cooler than it had been, but still great. My brother joined me…as he’ll be my assistant at the wedding and it was a fun way to get acquainted with Kamie, John and her family…all wonderful people and I look forward to Saturday and sharing in their big day!
Here are some shots from that afternoon…
RIGHT after this shot, the water rushed up, and they all had to quickly scramble to get out of the way…we thought we were in a “safe zone” but the surf had other ideas!!
The girls…Kamie, Christy, Kara and Halee…
Dad and Mom…Dennis and Jodi…with the crew all behind them…goofing around!
Josh, the only boy with three sisters…and his wife Christy
The guys…John, Dennis and Josh…they were all so serious…come on guys you have to lighten up and give me some smiles for the wedding this weekend!! :~)
John and Kamie…a walk on the beach…soon, they’ll be “Mr. and Mrs.” and walking off into wedded bliss!
Thank you, Kamie and John for asking me to share in such a special time in your lives! I look forward to Saturday…I’ll see you then!
