the luchinis

check out this really cute brother/sister duo i had the chance to do portraits for last week...  beautiful blue eyes!  the dog was even a fantastic poser.  every time we tried to get some spontaneous pics w/ this cute retriever he kept turning around and looking at the camera.  as usual eagle island was gorgeous!

the rosenkrance family

well here they are...... my oldest and bravest family! WAY back at the very beginning of my blog you will find them. they were the first! i'm happy to share their new and updated family portraits complete with family pets. these were taken in eagle down by the boise river - one of my favorites!

the anderson family

this is my fourth year doing the andersons family portraits.... the boys have all grown a foot it seems. i should've made my friend do some solo portraits - the only female amomgst all those BOYS. we've been sooooo lucky to have great weather this fall. it was warm and the only problem we encountered was MOSQUITOS. had to photoshop a few OUT of the portraits :)

the baird family

let me just put in a plug for north channel dentistry.... this is dr. baird and his family. he's our dentist! they've been friends of ours for a few years now and might look familiar to you as i've had the opportunity to take portraits of them before. their boys are growing fast and were SO fun to watch down by the river. CUTE family!

the price family

well i will say those families who are willing to get outdoors and do family portraits in the winter are troopers! bribery often comes into play too :) these cute boys didn't seem to mind too much. you may have seen this family before. it was fun to take their portraits and see how much their little guy had grown... he didn't want to sit still so we had fun chasing him. i was playing peek-a-boo with him in one of the family poses and he really enjoyed it! couldn't see his eyes after that!

the elam family

pretty handsome group here... and they were always finding great spots to take pictures! we had a lot of fun running all over the boise depot. i always thought the track was dormant but right after our time on the tracks, a big ole' train came rumbling past! thanks for a fun shoot guys!

baby kellen

sooooooooo cute! this teeny little guy was such a joy to photograph. isn't he adorable? for as sleepy as newborns are i am always amazed what a fight they give me during photo shoots. he was awake almost the whole time. we finally snuggled him down in the basket and mom swung it until he fell asleep. he looked so cozy we just left him there for a while!
