One-year-old Essence Session ~ Idaho Children's Photographer

It was so great to see little R again for his one-year Essence session. He's grown so much since I first met him at 6 months old. I LOVE when clients keep coming back! It's great to see how the little ones grow, and this time was no exception. Little R is really into books, and reads a lot with his Grandma, who brought him to the session. He's also walking now, and it was fun to see him toddling around. Thanks Kathie for letting me capture these milestones!

If you'd like to know more about an Essence session, give me a call today! I have a few spots open this spring. This mini-session is perfect for capturing milestones of babies, toddlers and children when it's still too chilly to be outside. Your Story Album Sessions will open up beginning April 1.  Album Sessions are for newborns, children, teens and families.

If this blog post receives 20 or more comments, this family will receive a fun gift from me!

Little Beauties ~ Nampa Children's Photographer

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of capturing these little beauties during a Portrait Party! What's a portrait party you ask? Well, it's where you get to be the Hostess of the party, provide a location, some refreshments and invite all your friends to enjoy some good times, and we capture some beautiful images for you. Mini sessions are 20 minutes for up to four subjects. One Gift Print (8X10 or smaller) is included. Guests also receive watermarked images emailed to them to share with family and friends, a password protected online gallery to view proofs and special pricing on portrait products. The Hostess also earns portrait products! Call me for more details!

Miss A and Miss H were are such dolls. Miss A enjoyed playing with the tea party set and Easter eggs we had available. She is full of personality, and I loved all the expressions she showed me when I asked to see her happy, sad, mad and silly faces. Six-month-old H didn't want mommy to get very far away, and she took a little warming up, but she has the cutest grin. And I love those cheeks! Her mom Becca made that adorable headband to match big sis's skirt too. She's a graphic designer and super creative. It was fun meeting her and her sweet girls! Thanks again! As always, if this blog post receives 10 or more comments, the D family will receive a complimentary 5X7 print of one of these images.
