I had such a great time photographing the Smith family recently. What was even better is that their photoshoot was all about riding their bikes!! Nothing captures Sun Valley better than a family riding their bikes together (: Now onto the photos!
I had such a fantastic time photographing Kerry and Kurt’s wedding!!! The setting was absolutely amazing and Kerry did such a great job on all the wedding details!
Makeup: Noelle Hodge
Venue: The Valley Club
Wedding Planner: Amanda Seaward
Flowers: Kurt from Botanica
Music: Old Death Whisper
Love, love, love the details!!!
The dessert bar and treats for the guests were to DIE for!!
Old Death Whisper rocked the Valley Club!!
I had such a great time photographing my friends and recently engaged couple, Adrian and Vanessa!! See some sneak peek images below:
hillary: these are so cute and fun...love them and those blue eyes are beautiful..XO
Amanda Seaward: Congrats Vanessa! (from Sarah and Aaron's wedding planner!)Weddings must be running in the family!
I recently had the great pleasure of photographing Mark and Heather’s engagement photos!! They are both from the south (like me) and wanted to show their families and friends how beautiful Idaho is! Here’s a sneak peek of their images:
kristin: love the fly fishing shots!! super cool!!!
hillary: I love the beer photo...looks so tasty! and my fave is the walking away in their fishing gear! That should be a canvas wrap in their home!! great job...XO
I recently had such a great time photographing the Robertson family!!! I love photographing Ashley, Josh and their sweet little girls!! Here are a few images:
I had such a wonderful time photographing the Rabe Family!!! Their little girl, Sam was such a cutie and so fun to play with. She couldn’t say “Kristin” so she called me “Christmas” which was super cute!!! On to the photos!
Sam:
Sam with her beautiful parents!
Sam wasn’t sooo sure she wanted to pet the horse!
Sam loved to peek through the barn to see if she could see any horses, then would promptly ask that Christmas looked as well! Sooo cute!
Sam loves to collect and throw rocks!
Sam’s beautiful mom is expecting a baby brother or sister!!
The “trick” to get Sam to cooperate and look at the camera lens was for me to hold onto her lollipops! I kept reminding her that as long as she gave me a smile and did what I asked she’d get her lolli’s! And boy did she enjoy them once we were finished!
Thanks Rabe Family!!! I had a great time photographing you!!!
Beautiful day, beautiful bride, handsome groom, who could ask for anything more?! Ashley and Alex are genuinely nice people and so very much in love and I was honored to capture their wedding day!!! Here’s a sneak peek of their fabulous wedding, planned entirely by Ashley!!

I had a great time photographing Emily and Dave’s wedding! They are both extremely kind, loving individuals and clearly truly love one another! Emily and Dave met in 2008 thanks to their mutual friends 
and eight months after their first date Dave proposed!!! I am soo happy they chose me to photograph their wedding and wish them a lifetime of joy!!

Reception site: Sun Valley Lodge
Emily photographed like a porcelain doll!!! Absolutely flawless!
Emily was quite teary eyed as she walked down the aisle, soo precious!
Emily and Dave arranged a surprise “ride” to the Sun Valley Lodge…a horse drawn carriage!!!
Upon entry into the reception site there were photos of generations of Dave and Emily’s family’s wedding portraits displayed. Soo neat!

The cake was so classy and beautiful! Well done, Sun Valley!
