I just loved this wedding! Everything went perfectly, even the stormy skies parted and smiled on this wedding! Seriously, the rain stopped and the sun came out just minutes before we needed to start pictures and their outdoor ceremony was to begin. Michael and Terina are such a cute couple and their friends and family are just the nicest people you could ever meet

Their reception was held at the Burley Inn and Convention Center and was so beautiful. Thomas Arroyo from D.J. Rage was great and everyone had so much fun. Check out the slideshow at the end of this post to see more of Michael and Terina’s wedding story.

Natural light is a wonderful thing, and it is a fun challenge to find beautiful light and make good use of it. But me and a local photographer friend of mine, Abrey Adams Watterson, wanted to shoot with our studio lights and overpower the harsh midday sunlight we usually try to avoid. We also wanted to stop motion in full shade. And . . . we wanted to have amazing light for both of these challenging conditions. We used up to 3 studio strobes (AB800′s) plugged into a portable power pack, and fired them with pocket wizards. We had two wonderful models- Kyra and Teagan – and a lot of fun

Mathis Harman married the lovely Meagan Jolley in SLC, Utah about a week after their open house here in Idaho. I just love the Harman family and have missed them since they’ve all moved away, so it was wonderful to see them again Congratulations Mathis and Meagan!

My 14 year old nephew made this commercial for his entry in the Paint the State competition. It is really amazing! And it doesn’t contain the disturbing content that most anti-meth ads do. It shows how wonderful life is, but can be blown away by meth. Honestly though, life is so beautiful and fragile that ANY addictive drug can destroy it. Not just meth. It’s heart breaking to hear of people getting caught in this dangerous trap that destroys so many lives. Share this video – not only because it will help my nephew with his competition – but because it might influence someone to be strong and avoid making the mistake of trying meth.

I did Lyndee’s senior portraits several years ago, and now she’s graduated college and getting married! It was fun catching up with her and meeting her wonderful fiance while doing their engagement portraits. It was very windy the day we did them, but the light was beautiful Congratulations you two!

This is Dallas, my nephew, and these are a few of his senior portraits we took recently. And no, he didn’t break his neck doing the skateboarding tricks

These were taken when my daughter Ariel and her sweet baby (my 1st grandchild ) Atlas came home to visit in April. Kind of slow on the blogging, but here they are now. He is such a good baby and we miss him (and his mama) so much when they’re not here. California is just way too far away from Idaho.

Dear Summer,

Why don’t you want to stay?
I miss your burning kisses
and your soul warming embrace.

When Spring stopped by to tell me
that you were on your way
Her enthusiasm was lacking
then she quickly went away.

All winter time I longed for you
and knew return was nigh
For all the time we’ve spent together
could not be cast aside.

Now your solstice is upon us
It’s not optional, but still
Since you’ve hardly said hello,
the event will lose its thrill.

Autumn will be my last hope
for at least a warm goodbye
Then Winter, so dependable
will long be at my side.

~Cindy
