Thom+Jessica | Boise Engagement Photographer

I had so much fun with Thom and Jessica on Saturday.  When I asked Jess if she would like to shoot her engagements in Star, she was VERY excited! I had never done a full engagement shoot in my hometown of Star, but I figured, why not!?  There are some beautiful locations around here, some…

Trish Sloan - wow, i so so wish that these were pics of me w/ my hubby!!! they are incredible. i love the gravel path with the hedges on the sides & the glowing yellow in the background. The only problem is how on earth could you possibly choose the ones to put on the wall? I’d say hang them all up:)

Tamara - I love all the light! I wish I could shoot at sunset more often, however, kiddies like to melt down before then. Again, beautiful.

Crystal - Just beautiful! wow!

Life Thru the Macro: Happy Easter!

You wouldn’t think that I would need to beg my photographer husband to take a picture of THE most beautiful thing in his life, Jace, but I did! I begged! I couldn’t let his first holiday slip by without a picture! I wish that I had done things a bit more festive, maybe with some…

My New Sample Album

I’m super excited about these!  In the photography world, there are PLENTY of Album companies to choose from.  That said, there are more than plenty mediocre album companies.  So it’s been my goal for a long time to find THE album company.  And I’ve just about narrowed it down to two companies, both of which…

Victoria de Martigny - Beautifully done Nate! The photos are absolutely spectacular and I love how you didn’t clutter up the layout, so the focus is on Dominic & Dory and their story. The double-page spreads are just wonderful!!

Life Thru the Macro: Pretty in Pink?!?!?!

*WARNING! Post contains graphic content! Avert your eyes if you have a weak stomach! Promise me that you will NEVER tell Jace that I ACTUALLY used that phrase ["pretty in pink"] in speaking about him. This is the thing: Desperate times call for desperate measures. And when poor Baby Jace has a ‘blow out’ away…
