Here you will find sneak peeks of recent sessions, images of my adorable children (when they let me photograph them) and random things that I find interesting ... and I am quite random at times! So, sit back and enjoy ... be sure to leave comments because when a client receives 10+ comments on their Session Spotlight they get a special little gift from me ... so comment away, we all love comments!!

PS - I just had this question asked and thought it was a great one with a great answer ...

Q - If I have 2 kids and would like portraits of them together can I sign up for a 3rd spot to have them photographed together?
A - Absolutely!! That would work out wonderfully.

There was lots of Fruit Loops involved in the making of the images and even though she made me work for it, they turned out simply gorgeous!! I can't wait to see her again for her big 2 year session!

Ok, so I know ... I am a REALLY REALLY bad blogger lately!!!  I'm sorry to all of you wonderful blog readers and stalkers out there.  I've just been so busy!!  But, the only thing I put on my to do list today is to blog ... so blog I will!

Here is little Miss "A" at 9 months ... this is the third time I've gotten to photograph her and she's just about due for her big 1 year session!!  I had so much fun with this session.  I adore shooting little ones in their homes because they are so relaxed and not overwhelmed by new things or new places.  We had a blast and got some amazing images!  I ADORE the images of her in the 100 year old bowl!!


Until next time (whenever that may be ... but hopefully not too long) ... Enjoy!!!
Catherine A. - Ha! Because of the exclamation points I thought you said the 100 year BOW....I was impressed that such an old bow would look so fresth! Beautiful little girl! May 10, 2010

Every year the Professional Photographers of Idaho hold their annual convention with amazing speakers and educators to come and teach the photographers in Idaho new ways of photographing people, ways to help business and other fun stuff.  This year's convention was no exception!  I thought it was hands down the best convention I've attended so far.  We had Sam Gardner, Lori Nordstrom, Bill Sorenson, Greg Sims, and Scott & Adina Hayne.  I was also honored that I was asked to speak as well!  I must admit it was rather frightening to speak to a group of peers, most of whom have years more experience than I do.  I spoke about shooting in low light in the client's home, which I do quite a bit of.  I got some great feedback about the topic I spoke on and once I got going and started getting questions I was much more at ease.  It was a great experience.

Another fun part of the PP of  Idaho annual convention is the print competition!  We can submit 6 images for competition and they are judged by a panel of 5 Master Photographers.  There are 6 judges and each judge rotates and 1 will sit out during a portion of the judging.  This is my third year entering print competition but the first year where I felt like I had a better understanding of what the judges are looking for.  My photographer friends and I sat in a darkened room all day to watch each other's prints come up and be scored.  It was exciting and fun!  Sometimes the judges will call back an image because they want to look it over again and talk about it and try to increase (or sometimes decrease) the overall score of the image. It's great when the judges do that because you get to hear what their thoughts are about the image and it's a great opportunity to learn.  This year, I learned a lot!!  The judges brought back 2 of my images to discuss and it was great to hear their feedback during the judging and then after the judging is over you can ask each judge to discuss their thoughts on your prints.  I am VERY happy with the way my prints scored in competition this year.  I earned 3 merits and a Judges Choice Award!

Now, here are my competition prints!

The Power Within

Rock Band ~ I have to give HUGE THANKS to my husband for helping me name this print!  The title of a print has impact in the judging because the title in announced as the print comes out.  This print received a Merit.
