Ramos Wedding - Part 2

Here is part 2 of the Ramos wedding portraits. Forgive me for taking this in stages, but nearly 2000 images take awhile to sort through and perfect! Take another peek at Holly and Luis' special day!

Ramos Wedding - Part 1

*Go here for Part 2 of Holly and Luis' wedding!

Wow, what an experience! Holly and Luis finally made it to the altar, and it was awesome to be there with them! There are SO many great photos to sort through, this is just part one of their wedding portraits. 

Stay tuned for part two and the formal wedding portraits!

Partridge Family

 When I am preparing for a family photo shoot with a new family, I like to take a few minutes to find out what that family enjoys doing together. I then try to tailor the photo shoot to match the family's personality. When I was plotting with Eliza for this session, she mentioned her hubs hobby of kayaking and thought it would be fun to take the kayak out for the session, and thought we would be able to get one with the whole family in the kayak. I'm always happy when my clients have their own ideas for the session, so we set a date and made plans to do it.

Then came time to actually use the kayak in the photos. The kids were loaded up. Check. Then I asked Shaun, "Can we get the whole family in now?" Say what? Oops, guess we forgot to consult with the hubs before. :-) Thanks for being such a good sport, Shaun! I think it turned out perfect!

I hope you enjoy a look at the Partridge family on this beautiful, sunny, windy Idaho day!

 

 

Oh, and did you notice Eliza's sweet headband? Yeah, she made that. And we sort of sent it to a watery grave. :-] At least we were almost done before it went swimming! 

Thanks for looking!

Fireworks!

Wow, what a crazy-busy weekend! I hope you all had a safe and fun Independence Day! This is one of my favorite holidays. Not only is it the first truly warm holiday in Idaho, but it gives us all a chance to think of the freedoms we enjoy. We are still recovering around here from a day of parades, boating, and fireworks. I'll leave you with a few shots I took of the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration here in Idaho Falls...we watch from a distance to avoid the thousands of people on the greenbelt...but I kinda like the effect of the fireworks coming from behind the trees! And it took me awhile to figure out why so many of the images were looking blurry, despite my use of a tripod and remote...I think it must have been the wind. Good old Idaho!
