We just wanted to share these images of our newest spokesmodel from Kimberly High School. I’m not sure that she knows this, but it was during her session that the Adventures of Rabbit Girl took place!
Serious, but pretty. Ok…you can blame Randy for the “serious nature” of most of these. For some crazy reason I am drawn to the more serious images where the subject isn’t smiling so much. Maybe its because after 34 years of marriage - I know how serious women can be! Hah!
Again in this one she looks pretty serious….but pretty pretty. (put a red mark here English teacher).
You can blame Brittany for making her stand in the swamp. I would never ask a beautiful young lady to stand in a snake and mosquito infested swamp.

This is Rabbit Girl:
During a recent senior portrait shoot, somebody spies a rabbit on the golf course and takes off like a greyhound….”I’m gonna catch it” she says”
So for the next few minutes, while our client is changing outfits inside the club house, I photograph Rabbit Girl in her desperate pursuit:
She actually managed to touch the rabbit, but I didn’t manage to photograph that!

After weeks of me bugging Randy we finally pulled off our fireman shoot. Let me tell you that fire gear is very warm but it was so worth it. We apparently created quite a scene but it was one of the most fun shoots I’ve ever done. The whole goal with this is to start doing a theme type shoot for all of our seniors who would like to either at the end of their session or a short session just for that, so we thought we would try it out. The instant I heard the fireman idea I was extremely excited and I knew I wanted to do it and we both really liked how the pictures turned out and we think seniors will enjoy being able to have photos a little out of the ordinary. Here are a few of our fire pictures let us know what you think!

Mottoes - not tomatoes….I’m still not sure the tomatoes are safe to eat!
We have two mottoes that guide our business and how we relate to our customers.
The 1st is: “If you’re not happy - then we’re not happy”. Which means that we guarantee satisfaction. And we will do whatever it takes to make sure that you are satisfied. Really.
The 2nd guiding principle is “We are only as good as our last customer says we are.”

Like many of you, we spent our 4th of July with family.
This is my grandson Jack.
Yeah, I usually pack a camera to our family events. I’m not a photographer that just photographs for “business”. I still photograph for pleasure. In fact you might say that I am compelled to photograph. I am afraid that I might start having seizures if I don’t photograph every day.
This is me with my grandson Jack. You can see where he gets his good looks - can’t you? I didn’t take this one just in case you wondered.
This is my wife Kris and Jack.
This is my daughter Rose. She’s very intense. Grin.
Incidentally, I did get a few images of Jack with his mother - but I don’t have a model release for her - so I’m not putting any of those up on the blog….grin.
We had a great Fourth of July - and hope that you did too!

We’ve been painting again at the studio, and it was a blast! We recently knocked out a window to give us some extra space in our shooting room and we figured we might as well use the new space so we painted a background on the wall and I may be a little biased but I love how it turned out! I figured yellow would be perfect because we could use it with boys or girls and I’ve already got tons and tons of ideas rolling around in my head! I am so excited to start shooting on it, it’s much different than anything we have right now and we are also adding a nice hardwood floor to the new space it will look amazing! Well let me know what you think! Thanks for all your help Curtis!

A very beautiful and seemingly serious bride - from a recent bridal session:
She really isn’t that serious - but she is very beautiful. Taken in natural light at the top of a stairway, setting: Historical Old Home in Twin Falls, Idaho. This beautifully restored and maintained old home is is the location of the Party Center. Our thanks go out to Darsi and the crew at the Party Center for allowing us to photograph in their business on short notice. And congratulations to Brittney and Cory!
