Happy Halloween!

Last weekend in Boise...I took my girls downtown to see a few Zombies...and some great performers at the Fall for Boise Finale. We had some parking issues and we missed Boise's part of the 'Thrill the World' performance, but we watched a variety of talented performers and thoroughly enjoyed a chilly evening at The Grove. After all of that it was time for the walking dead to go on their annual stroll through Boise....the Boise Zombie Walk! Here are some pictures I snapped during all of the excitement. Enjoy!

Wedding Pictures

Beautiful day for a beautiful occasion and a beautiful couple!


How fun and flirty is this shot? This really captures their spirit and fun loving personalities!

Here is one of my fave pics I took on September 11, 2010. I was playing with some editing in PSE 6 and this is what I came up with. I love this shot and I love this couple!

Camera is fixed and back in action!

My camera was sent off for repairs and was returned just in time for me to photograph a wedding for some dear friends, those pictures will be uploaded as soon as I am done doing some basic editing...I took over 300 shots!
Today I was at a Baby Shower and shot the usual shower pics of all the gift opening, but it was at a fabulous local Bistro and there were some great elements in the decorations for the shower that i wanted to share here. Enjoy.

New Lens....

I got a great deal on a new lens for my camera. I have a digital SLR, Nikon D40X it came in a kit with the standard 18-55mm lens. I just purchased a 55-200mm lens online. I of course tore it out of the box attached it and began to shoot anything and everything in my path. Here are a few shots of random things around my house. There will be plenty more pictures in the near future, I promise ;) The picture above is my daughter, Maddie hiding from me.


This is Jack our cat, he is a character.


This picture is something one of the kids did in elementary school, it sits on the plant shelf, above our living room, I took this from across the room aimed up and zoomed in.


I just love being able to see all of the dust and cobwebs on the items adorning the plant shelf at my house...lol There are some details that I maybe don't want to see.


This is MaryJane, trying to nap on the couch while I bother her with taking pictures.

A day in the Mountains

This is my dog, Rascal, he is a short legged JRT, he loved exploring through the tall grass today. I drove the kids to Crouch, ID today for a little get away. We stopped at a primitive camp site and spent the afternoon wading, lunching and taking pictures.

My 12 year old son, Nash, and Rascal sat down for lunch, I was trying to quickly sneak this picture and didn't check the settings on my camera, so the grass is in focus and they are the background...I liked the effect anyway and this is one of my fave pics from today.


Nash just thought these wildflowers were the best ever! I got up close and personal to capture as many details as possible.



Rebecca was kicking back on the roof of my SUV. I wish she would just once look at the camera so I could try to capture how beautiful she is.
