I had a great time with this super fun family and the sweet and sassy twins! We had beautiful weather for walking around the Boise Depot, talking and taking some relaxed family portraits. I was so excited the cherry trees were in bloom since Spring has been taking her sweet time getting here. Usually the cherry trees bloom in March, so we got lucky! Here's your sneak peek! Enjoy!


Ok, I'm finally catching up on my sneak peeks, yay!! Here is beautiful Miss "J!" Isn't she sweet?! We had a great time playing at home and then walking around Kathryn Albertson Park. Thanks for the wonderful session! Enjoy!

Wow, my little boy is 5 ... where did the time go? I'm so proud of my little man. He is funny, sweet, polite and handsome as can be. Here he is 5 years ago today (he was born at 11:27 PM on the 9th so we took pretty much all of his pictures on the 10th).



And here he is from 2 weeks ago when we shot his 5 year old portraits.

Yesterday was his birthday and we had a nice little family party last night and today we are having his big party with all of his little friends and a Spiderman bounce house! He is going to be so excited when he sees it ... it has a giant Spiderman on the side. The gifts he was the most excited about are a Nintendo DS from Grandma & Pappy and a pair of red cowboy boots from Hilly & Kyle. See, he had a pair of red cowboy boots when he was 3 and he wore them everywhere. When they got too small I put them away for Alison. Well, Gabe found those boots last weekend and had been trying to wear them and was so upset that I wouldn't let him try to wear boots that are about 5 sizes too small because he might get hurt. So, the top item on his birthday list became new cowboy boots. Here is a scrapbook page from October 2005 about Gabe and his cowboy boots ... any my halloween socks ... he's such a goofball!
Happy Birthday Gabe!! I love you little man!
This may be the quickest sneak peek I've ever done and I know there are a couple others waiting for their sneak peeks but I just had to bump this one up because it's Miss Z's first birthday and I had a pleasure of photographing her on her birthday!! It was wonderful to spend time with this cute little family again and it is so neat to see how much Miss Z has grown! Doesn't she have the cutest cheeks ever?!!
Ok, well this isn't truly a sneak peek because Mom is already viewing her images online but I just love this image of two sweet sisters!

- Oh Tiff! What a beautiful image. Love the back lighting and the way it highlights the sisters hair. Subtle softness in the skin, seriously stunning portrait!

- Oh, wow. Look at how perfect this picture is! These two little darlings probably have no idea how beautiful they are but I look at this and it takes my breath away. Nice job, Tiff.

Have you seen the footage of a pack of lions attacking a herd of water buffalo? Oh my goodness, it is amazing and the outcome is totally unexpected. National Geographic is airing this footage, hopefully without the commentary of the people on Safari, on Sunday on the National Geographic Channel. Animals are amazing!
My husband made it home from China safe and sound, YAY!!! He has lots of stories about the food, the driving and the pollution ... but that's a whole other blog post!
This one is about the fun gifts he brought back :) He brought home traditional Chinese attire home for both of the kids. On the last day in Shanghi they went shopping in one of those marketplaces where you can barter and I got hear great bragging about how good their interpreter, Jessica, was at it and how fun it was to watch. Anyways, Jessica bartered on the clothing for the kids and got it down to what amounts to about 16 US dollars ... pretty crazy!
Here's Gabe in his outfit, I didn't get a photo of Alison yet because she is grouchy (she thinks she doesn't need naps these days .... boy is she wrong, lol). 'll be sure to post when she's in a happier mood and will let me photograph her.
Isn't Gabe cute?!
Rach
- He is the CUTEST!!! Gabe is so adorable in that outfit. Jessica did a nice job on the outfits!
