Boise Barista turned Model

The day Lovely Lia created beautiful fashion, boudoir, creative portraits in Meridian, ID

I met Lia in downtown Boise at a coffee shop and immediately knew that I HAD to photograph her. She moved like a dancer, and had the most beautiful hair and eyes and was simply stunning. Now how to approach someone, tell them these things and not scare them away.... ! Thankfully Lia was excited to model for me and we were able to create an absolutely STUNNING shoot together at my Meridian Idaho studio. Gorgeous portraits that toe the line between traditional portrait, fashion portrait, and boudoir.... This is my happy place. Lovely Lia has moved from the Treasure Valley, and now works as a skincare specialist and is pursuing her career in dance and music far away from the Northwest, but I will be forever grateful for the day I was brave enough to ask for this shoot and she was kind enough to agree :)

Happy Mother's Day!

Celebrating all the wonderful mother's I have been honored to photograph:

Head Shots and Personal Branding / Boise Idaho Portrait Photographer

Head shots.  Personal branding.  Presenting yourself accurately, attractively and authentically.  

Our presence in social media, advertising and in online content is ever-increasing.  Do no underestimate the value of a first impression.  It makes a difference.  Often our first contact is virtual.  What kind of image is your first impression?  A snap shot?  An outdated picture?

I am so happy to be able to create beautiful, confident, quality images for my clients to represent themselves to the world with.  It matters.  It is worth it.

Senior Portrait Glam Shoot // Boise Idaho Portrait Photographer

I could not have asked for more perfect clients for this dreamy senior shoot.  These lovely and talented twin sisters are dancers (a guaranteed way to my heart) and loved to dress up in tulle glamorous wardrobe... And could they ever pose!  

This is such a special time their lives, as a mother myself, I see this time both from their eyes -- their whole lives, full of possibilities ahead of them, and from their mother's perspective who sees the little girls who have blossomed before her eyes and are spreading their wings.  

Capturing beauty and grace during a fun senior session is not only a fun and fulfilling experience for seniors, excited to celebrate this phase of their lives, but it is also a celebration for parents --a moment to honor the adult their child has grown into and hold onto the memory and moments created in their portraits that they will treasure forever.
 


Vintage Glam Boudoir // Abilene Texas Portrait Photographer

From the moment I first saw Tabetha, I knew she would photograph like a dream - and I told her so!  Little did I know that she is also a talented makeup artist and budding photographer!  This shoot was so much fun.  This girl knows how to move in front of the camera -- I think she should add "model" to her resume!  This was the perfect opportunity to try new angles, new lighting set ups and have her create her own interpretation of vintage glam makeup.  It all came together:

Jana / Abilene Texas Modern Glamour Boudoir Photography

When Jana was looking for a Glamor Photographer, she searched...And found me!  Horray!  She is my first client that has not been a direct referral!  Yay for internet search terms like "Glamour" "Boudoir" and "Beauty" and "Modern"... Those keywords should lead you to me!  

Jana planned this shoot as a wonderful surprise birthday gift for her man ... And a gift to herself.  Every woman deserves a day to celebrate her beauty, femininity and sexiness!  Though the process of a shoot like this is more dress up fun and laughter.... And a few sore muscles from posing... The results are always beyond her dreams.  

Beautiful Modern Head Shots: Elegant, Professional and Timeless // Abilene, Texas Portrait Photographer

There are SO many businesses out there, thriving wonderful businesses, that deserve to be represented well in an attractive, accurate and inviting way by the people who create, nurture and make their business thrive.  If you are in doubt about the image you are putting out there -- you are probably due for a modern update.  Gone are the stuffy "old" head shots of yesterday.  Breath new life into how you put yourself out there for the world to see.  It should be breathtaking:

Glamorous Portraits // Abilene, TX Portrait Photographer

This lovely lady took the time out of her busy schedule  - which is a juggling act of work, home, mothering 3 sons, and being a wife, oh and having a social life... To do something for herself.  To celebrate, be pampered and to completely step out of her comfort zone.

She knew that she'd love these portraits.  But like all my clients, actually SEEING the gorgeous feminine side of yourself that you KNOW is in there, but rarely is captured in an amazing portrait is an experience in itself.

Sabrina is a student, a wife, mother, part-time model and absolutely a dream to work with. I have never worked with a professional model before.  What fun!  She was constantly in motion, moving her body and adjusting her pose, while being very aware of my angle and somehow could hear my shutter clicks above the music and blow dryer :)  My job has never been so effortless!  Enjoy the beauty:
