MOUNTAIN IDAHO FAMILY SESSION

I THINK ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF GROWING UP IS WATCHING THOSE YOU GREW UP WITH CREATING A FAMILY OF THEIR OWN. ALEXIS AND I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER AND MADE LOTS OF MEMORIES WITH EACH OTHER ON THE DANCE TEAM. I’M GRATEFUL TO STILL HAVE HER IN MY LIFE THESE DAYS AND LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO DOCUMENT THE STAGES OF LIFE HER FAMILY IS IN. WE SNUCK AWAY TO ONE OF MY SWEET SPOTS UP IN THE MOUNTAINS AND SNUGGLED, GOT SOME AIR TIME, TOOK PICTURES WITH EV’S LITTLE PURPLE CAMERA, AND SLOW DANCED. WE LOOKED FOR BUGS, ALLLLMOST ran THROUGH THE MUD, AND GOT SOME DRESS CLOTHES DIRTY WITH LITTLE MUDDY SHOE PRINTS. IT WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOUNTAIN IDAHO FAMILY SESSION TO DATE. I WAS SO INSPIRED BY THE END. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT FELT SO FREEING.

 
IF THERE’S ONE THING EV HAS TAUGHT ME, IT’S TO LET THE KIDS DO WHAT THEY WANT. FAMILY PHOTOS MIGHT LOOK DIFFERENT FOR THE NEXT LITTLE WHILE, BUT HONESTLY, IT’S THE CANDID PHOTOS THAT CATCH MY EYE THE MOST. TO LET HER JUST BE IN HER ELEMENT OUTSIDE, FINDING BUGS, GETTING DIRTY, IS WHAT TRULY SHOWS WHO THESE KIDDOS ARE.
 
OUR LITTLE BABES ARE GROWING WAY TOO FAST, SO IT’S MOMENTS LIKE THESE THAT MAKE ME STOP AND SEE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE. WHAT COMFORTS THEM, WHAT FASCINATES THEM, AND WHAT MAKES THEM GIGGLE THOSE SWEET SWEET SOUNDS. WE HAVE TO HOLD ON TO THESE AGES BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING TO BE TEENAGERS THE NEXT TIME WE BLINK.
HOLD THEM CLOSE. ROCK THEM TO SLEEP. IT’S OKAY MAMA, JUST LET THEM DREAM. TO ALL MY MAMA FRIENDS IN MY LIFE– YOU ARE DOING GREAT. I PROMISE.

WHY I WILL DOCUMENT YOUR FAMILY THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE

IF I COULD DOCUMENT MY CLIENTS EVERY DAY AS THOUGH WE’RE JUST RUNNING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND EXPLORING, THAT WOULD BE MY IDEAL JOB. I’D LOVE TO CAPTURE MORE OF THE REAL MEMORIES WHERE WE MAY BE IN THE MOUNTAINS FOR PHOTOS, BUT IT’LL FEEL MORE LIKE AN ADVENTURE ONCE WE’VE ARRIVED. IF YOU’RE EVER NEAR IDAHO FALLS, I’D LOVE TO TAKE YOU TO AN ADVENTURE IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE WE CAN JUST SIMPLY BE. NO PRESSURE, NO TIME LIMIT, AND JUST HANG OUT AND BE OURSELVES. WE CAN TALK ABOUT HOW YOUR KIDS SCREAMED ALL MORNING AND NOW THEY’RE THE MOST THEMSELVES YOU’VE SEEN THEM ALL WEEK. WE CAN DISCUSS SILLY LITTLE PHRASES OUR KIDS HAVE THOUGHT UP AND WE HAVE ZERO IDEA WHERE THEY HEARD THAT. WE’LL LAUGH TOGETHER ABOUT HOW YOUR LITTLES PRONOUNCE THE WORLD LADYBUG, AND SMILE SO HARD OUR CHEEKS HURT. AND NOT FROM SMILING FOR PHOTOS BUT FROM HAVING A GENUINELY GREAT TIME. I’M HERE FOR THAT.
 
IF YOU’RE READY TO DOCUMENT THE STAGE OF LIFE YOUR FAMILY IS IN RIGHT THIS MOMENT, INQUIRE HEREAND I’LL BE HAPPY TO BE YOUR IDAHO FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER.
