I love the changing seasons! If you asked me what my favorite season is, I would have a hard time choosing just one because there is something to love about all of them. The best part is, as soon as you start to get too sick of one season, it changes, and the change is so refreshing.

At the beginning of the summer here in Idaho we had a few days that were very cloudy. Often as photographers, we can get caught up in wanting the famed golden hour light, and so clouds in the forecast can be a bit of a downer. However, cloudy skies do not have to ruin a photoshoot, and in fact may actually help make it something epic.

One aspect of having a baby during the pandemic that can be so hard is potentially not having relatives or friends able to come visit and meet the baby or help out mom and dad. I have had quite a few families recently contact me about getting newborn photos taken so that they not only have photos of baby as a newborn, but also as a way to introduce baby to family and friends who may not be able to come visit.

With Valentine’s day soon approaching, it seemed like an appropriate time to share this cozy couple session taken last fall along the Boise River.

Often guys are less than enthusiastic about photos being taken and so I have to give major props to him for thinking of such a thoughtful gift.
