Week two of my self portrait quest, and I’m already feeling “challenged”. I guess that’s the point. First thing I’ve learned, it’s hard. If you don’t believe me, try it. Getting some random idea at midnight; tearing apart your living room to make room for a studio; setting up lighting gear, seamless background, tripods etc;…

Jace got to go to the CIRCUS for the very first time last week!! Although he THOROUGHLY enjoyed all the lights and music, Nate and I really just used him as a good excuse to go ourselves. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!! The pictures below were taken during the pre-show, because no cameras were allowed…

Let’s see. How to put this… Oh yeah… I’m AWFUL at having my picture taken. I’m ok if I’m with someone else, like my wife, or Jace, or a large group. In fact, I love having our family pictures taken. We do it all the time. But when I’m on my own, I don’t know…
Nate, I enjoyed seeing the references to your old blog. Although the pictures were still great, you have come a long ways in 2.5 years and it gives ME a lot of hope! 
Um…so I think I might just copy this wording to my own blog, because you totally described me in front of the camera to a T! =) (totally kidding about copying it btw…=) I love this idea. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while! I didn’t want to do 52 weeks though, I was going to do one a month. I’ll have to check out your FB page for the setups. Those would be fun to see! =)

I LOVE happy brides! Well…all brides are obviously happy. But like…really really happy. Like April. I’ve never seen a bride smile so much. Not that cheesy, forced smile. The genuine, real and beautiful smile that meant this was truly the happiest day of April’s life. That she was happy. Ready. And excited. Very very excited….
Beautiful imagery Nate, just adore the First Look!

Nate and I had a blast this Saturday shooting the wedding of April and Steve. NEVER have I seen a bride so happy. I don’t think she stopped smiling for one moment the entire day, even when we tried to take the ‘serious’ pictures. This was also the first wedding… literally… that I have ever…

Kim and Mike were married at the beautiful Bishop’s House in downtown Boise. The weather and atmosphere of close family and friends was wonderful. I love small intimate weddings. Kim and Mike share such a great respect, adoration and love to each other, it made them easy to photograph. Thank you Kim and Mike for…

We happened across it quite by chance. We decided to drive into downtown Boise and have a picnic. We LOVE picnics, and probably have at least one a week in the summer. There were hundreds of booths and thousands of people. Everyone was selling their wares and their crafts, beautiful pieces of artwork, and some…
Your family is just too cute and too fun! Love the owl hat.
Jessica Horton - I have 2 of those darn softboxes & NEVER use them…. maybe I should find a project to use them on
Nate - Jessica, it’s funny. I use them most of all for personal work. I haven’t used them a ton on an actual shoot yet. I do love them though!
