Northwest Animal Companions

This year I am volunteering my photographic services to Northwest Animal Companions to help animals in the Treasure Valley get adopted.  Throughout the year I will be posting events I cover & animals up for adoption.   If you are interested in adopting any of the animals showcased here please visit the Northwest Animal Companions website at http://nacidaho.com or call 429-6600.

Yesterday I went to 2 different foster homes to photograph 3 dogs up for adoption; Roxy (black lab mix), Roxy (black & white pitbull mix) and Lucy (black pitbull mix).  Info on each of the dogs can be found on the NAC website.

Spring Fever

This afternoon I went out to visit my horse, Denali.  A cold weather front was moving through right about that time.  With the wind blowing all the horses where running around and kicking up their heels.  I think we are all ready for spring to be here after this long, cold winter.

As you can tell from the posts so far, I am in love with this mocha color on my photos.  It looks old-fashioned and modern at the same time.  I love how it adds a romantic, moody feel to a lot of images.  I especially like it on these horse photos.

Denali - tall, dark and handsome.

Bubbles

We went to a birthday party on Sunday at our friends, Chad & Katie's place.  They have a couple of great kids, Erik & Tillie.  The kids wanted to show me the bubble making machine outside.  It provides hours of entertainment for Erik, Tillie and their friends.  As you can see Erik was battling the bubbles with his sword and his karate moves.  

It was so much fun to take these pictures.  I just followed the kids around outside letting them play as I snapped photos.  Occasionally I would have them look at me otherwise I let them do what kids do best - play!  I just love these types of photos.  There is nothing like having your kids at home just being kids and capturing those impromptu moments.

Referral Program

This year I thought that I would reward my clients that refer me to their friends for my photographic services.  So I am starting a referral program that can be used by past and new clients.

  

Referral Program

Refer your friends and receive a $20 print credit for each portrait session scheduled.  Don't forget to have them mention your name when booking their session.  There is no limit on the amount of print credits you can earn and the credits can be used in past or future sessions.

If you have any questions regarding this please let me know.  Thanks again for your business!

Ketchum

This past weekend we went up to Ketchum to stay with our friends Adam & Lori and their kids, Addie and Ellie.  Addie had her first ski race at Dollar Mountain and Ellie is learning how to ski.  They had so much fun.  Sledding was also a big highlight of the weekend, the kids just couldn't get enough of it!  

Here are a few pictures from the weekend.  This year my goal is to start shooting a lot of my pictures in manual mode.  The kids were great models for me as I practiced shooting with window light.  I love taking casual portraits as they seem so much more real than the traditional posed shots.  The snow pictures turned out to be quite challenging since the conditions were changing on a continual basis - cloudy, snowy, sunny, cloudy .....
