Wyler Fam/Class of 2012 - Family/Portrait Photography

Meet the Wyler Family.

My husband and I have known this cute little fam from the time we were married (over 2 years) and have been able to see little Mia grow from the time she was in her mama's tummy!  They are probably the nicest people you will ever meet, and have been such wonderful neighbors to us as well.  This session was not just about capturing their family, but also to congratulate Daniel on his graduation from BYU-Idaho.  I know his family is sure proud of him!  

Wyler Fam, enjoy your sneak-peek! 

Okay, can everyone please note how incredibly ADORABLE her little cap and gown are?  

A lady in our ward who is close with the Wylers made the miniature graduation gown, while Diana's fam found the hat at the thrift store and sized it down to fit the little munchkin!  

I seriously about died seeing her run around in it!

There you have it Wylers!  

Congratulations again on your graduation Daniel!  And best of luck on everything the future holds for you guys! 

Burton Family - Rexburg Family Photographer

I don't even know where to start with this session.  We had SO much fun at the Sand Dunes this week. Graham loved the sand (and throwing it on all of us) and little Madelyn was just so good and put up with all the gritty sand in her face and her mouth.  I love when a session doesn't feel like "a session" and rather just a chance to hang out with friends.  The Burtons are the best and I think their photos turned out great! 

Meet Handsome Little Graham (and his gorgeous chocolate brown eyes)

... and Sweet Little Madelyn (and her killer baby blues)

...and of course Mom & Dad

Thank you again for hanging out with me Burton Family!  I hope you love your pictures and had as much fun with me as I had with you! ;)

Hodges Family - Idaho Falls Family Photography

Meet my friend and co-worker Desirae and her SUPER fun family!

We had quite the adventure off-roading to our location, but we all had a lot of fun - so it was totally worth it!  And yes - it was difficult getting the Harley out there.  It was a slow trek, but I think it made for some awesome pictures.  

Besides, patience is a virtue, isn't it?

And - how awesome are their kids?  Did I mention all of their names start with "B".  Cool eh?

Once again, the wind was wild during our session... but I still think we got some good shots! :)

Here is a little sneak peak at how we spent our evening.

Thank you! - Personal Post

As you all know, this is still my first year in the industry.  I will hit my 1-Year mark in late August and I can't believe the opportunities for growth I have had in these first 10 months.  Not only have I had lots of opportunities to meet new AMAZING people and learn new techniques (and practice, practice, practice...), but I have been asked to shoot WEDDINGS - it is still so surreal to me that people have the interest and confidence in me as a photographer to trust me with such a big and special day! 

I've already posted one wedding - my very first as a lead photog (I don't include the few times I've shot candids or been a second shooter)... and I will be shooting wedding #2 on August 4th in Idaho Falls.

For any photographer, getting one wedding during your first year is quite an accomplishment (or so I've heard!)... let alone two.  But can I just say that I was SO flattered when I got asked to shoot 2 more weddings this summer. 

Unfortunately, I won't be shooting those two additional weddings due to conflicts in schedule (one of them I will be in Canada during that time, and the other conflicts with my August wedding - I know, sad day!) - but it was such an honor just to have that interest expressed! 

{Did I mention one of them wanted to fly me to California to shoot!?  I know, total bummer!}

Anyway, I just wanted to take this time to express my deepest appreciation to all of you who have helped me get to this point so far.  Whether it be through booking a session with me to give me practice, mentoring me and sharing tips, or simply giving me words of encouragement - you have done so much to help me progress in something I am deeply passionate about!

So again, thank you for all you have done.  I wouldn't be where I am without you!

xo.

Dan & Megan - Rexburg Engagement Photography

Can I just say I had SO much fun getting to know these two.  Not only did I shoot their official engagements, but I was also hiding in the bushes when Dan popped the question and Megan gladly accepted.  These two have the love that leaves you all smiles.  I almost felt bad during our session telling them to do this or that because I was afraid to interrupt a moment - because they were always whispering and giggling.  Seriously - adorable.

Dan and Megan, congratulations again on your engagement and upcoming marriage.  Here are a few of my faves from your engagement session:

Like I said... adorable...

And for my favorites...
