Oh man, you guys are in for a treat today! If you can’t tell, my camera LOVES Chrissie and Jesse…a LOT. It was a perfect day to go shooting (in the midst of all of the lightening storms we have been having) we actually had a REALLY nice day. Started off a little overcast and then POW- sun! HOT SUN…we were sweating to death, but these two pressed on and flaunted their hotness til the sun went down. Plus, being serenaded with an acoustic guitar always makes everything better…

enjoy.

Say Hello to Cooper James.  I traveled to Klamath Falls, Oregon to photograph this little cutie.  My whole family has been patiently awaiting the arrival of this little guy, and when he finally got here, we jumped in the car and rushed over to ogle over his adorable little face.  I had such a fun weekend documenting this new addition to my family.  I can’t wait to continue watching him grow up.  In addition to photographing his cute little face, I also was completely smitten with his adorable nursery.  His room is all woodland themed, with lots of different critters, a leafy tree, and an adorable bird mobile.  It would not be complete without Harold, the moose, to keep him company : -)  We also planted a little garden for Cooper, complete with baby blue flowers.

I am so in love with this handsome boy and had such a fun time capturing his little expressions and personality.  Congratulations to my brother and sister-in-law!  I am so happy for you and your growing family.  Love you!

Enjoy!

Springtime in Boise is so beautiful! Whenever I am in the car gazing out the window, I see the early springtime blooms on all of the trees in gorgeous soft pinks, lavenders, and creams. For the longest time I have wanted to create a session inspired by this wonderful early spring feeling- when the air is still brisk, but the sun is warm. Something with lace, fur, and creaminess. We have such a short period of time, and for all of you who live in Boise know how truly unpredictable the season can be. So lucky for us, the GORGEOUS Miss Nampa: Sarah Downs, contacted us at the PERFECT time! With her dark hair, creamy fair skin, and big doe eyes-could she be any more perfect!? So on a whim, we pulled it all together and ended up with something truly lovely. Thank you Sarah for lending us your perfection, and sweet personality for the evening. We really had such a blast!

Yes, we specialize in weddings but we LOVE high school seniors too! It doesn’t seem like too long ago that we were there, and we know that the more we hang with the cool kids– the cooler we will be, and the longer we will be able to hold onto that. So please, choose Ampersand to save our youth! Our favorite thing is getting to know you and what you love, and our challenge is to bring that out in your photos without the cliché, cheesy poses that you might expect. Let’s go to your favorite hang out, we’ll help you style your outfits, and incorporate your favorite sport or your car without making you look like a total tool! Head on over to our senior site www.ampersand-seniors.com for some more information or email us for pricing.

Now is the perfect time to get a jump start on your senior photos– and we are also looking for our spokesmodels for the class of 2014. What does that mean? It means FREE SENIOR PICTURES! Pretty rad eh? Well skip on over to our spokemodel application and if you get chosen [we only take a limited number of students and only 1 from a particular school] you will get your session free and learn how to earn free products just by telling your friends about your experience! Why not?

Thanks! Now go enjoy the lovely weather.

Meet Ashley and Jon! Aren’t they just like totally adorable?! Yea, cute as kittens– but then they can turn on the romance like no other making for one fun and steamy engagement session! I had a great time with these guys- and even though there was snow on the ground, the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day! I am so excited to see this winery wedding come together this summer! Gosh, our clients are so gorgeous! Enjoy :)

SO I am sure that many of you have already seen this DARLING Save the Date video starring Dana & Tanner- and we are really excited to show you the shoot that goes along with it. To say that we had fun on this shoot would be an understatement. We have the pleasure of shooting at the awesome wedding venue: Still Water Hollow in Nampa. That place has LOADS of character and would be perfect for a vintage wedding (go check it out if you haven’t already!!) Also make sure to check out our tissue paper flower tutorial on our stationery blog: prettypaperstuff.com!
Dana and Tanner are soooo adorable- you can just tell that they are each other’s best friends. And their style is truly perfection. Cannot wait to shoot their wedding this September!!! If you haven’t seen their video yet- you are missing out!

enjoy.

We had so much fun creating this video for their friends and family! What a blast! Congrats to Dana and Tanner on their engagement and upcoming wedding this September! (Full engagement session up soon!)
