A Couple Firsts….

The last couple months have been a little crazy in this household! First. I GRADUATED. FINALLY. Whew. That was a long process. I started school in 2004 and finally finished. I went part time for a year or so to do other things but finally decided to kick it into gear and finish.

THEN, I finished my first half-marathon this weekend. I’d started training in September and feel good. Then a few of my running buddies got hurt and the holidays came around and I hadn’t been running the last 3 weeks. So I KNEW it would be painful. Luckily I have the best husband (who is a rockstar and can run a half-marathon without blinking) that stayed with me the entire time.

Post race!

As of now there aren’t any full-marathons in my future but you never know. Runners are crazy. I think I’ll eventually do another half-marathon but will need to get some more training in.

Happy Holidays – Boise Idaho Photographer

Yes, I realize this post is a couple days late, but that’s how I roll.

I hope everyone enjoyed time with friends and family – I know we did. Now it’s getting back into the swing of things. I have so many photos to show and I’m working on getting organized. I’m also going to start making categories on my Facebook Page so you can see different events by category. It’ll make more sense when I get to it.

For now, I’ll leave you with a post of my family :)

Behind the Scenes – Boise Wedding Photographer

I’ve been meaning to share these for a while but haven’t had a chance. They’ve literally been sitting on my desktop for a month+! Here are some more photos from behind the scenes at the last couple weddings. As far as I can see, I haven’t blogged these yet so forgive me if you’ve seen them before.

…. embarrassing….

 

EMDubs – the best second shooter, ever.


Photographer Shootout – Boise Photographer

I’ve been a total slacker on the blog this week because I’ve been so busy! However, I was so excited to share these photos I had to get right on it!

.

Last night several local photographers got together and did a shootout. Basically we made each person sit in the hot seat and let the rest of us guide and photograph them. This way we didn’t have to worry about models, makeup, or anything like that. It was a total blast! Here are some of my favorite shots!

Thriller – Boise Wedding Photographer

To give you some quick background, I LOVE Michael Jackson’s music. AND I’ve always wanted to learn the dance to Thriller. At Saturday’s wedding I saw some commotion as this song started and I immediately knew there was going to be some sort of dance going on. I popped the camera over to video and ended up capturing this. The dj was a friend of the wedding party and also owns Heirloom Dance Studio in Boise. He didn’t disappoint.

Also turns out he teaches this dance to the general public around Halloween which I WILL be attending this year.

Longboarding Cameraman – Boise Photographer

I have been meaning to share this photo a while ago. So maybe a month back I saw a tweet come across Twitter with the KTRV news station looking for people participating in the Ironman Boise race. I, being the awesome wife that I am, volunteered my husband. He wasn’t thrilled that I volunteered him but afterwards said it was pretty fun. The reporter came out to our house and had an idea of my husband riding his bike while the reporter taped on his longboard so he could stay with my husband on the bike (hopefully that makes sense). I was trying to discretely take pictures up in  my office. Only one really turned out but it ended up being kind of fun.
