The Smith Family

September 1, 2010

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!

The Rabe Family

August 5, 2010

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 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!

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!!!

Last fall I photographed the Robertsons, and had a blast!!! So we decided to photograph again in the snow!!! I love this family!  Ashley is a great mother, wife and caretaker for many other families and is, well, just a beautiful person inside and out!  She has a very handsome husband and two adorable girls…on to the photos!!

I have recently been hired for photoshoots as a gift for dog portraits, maternity shoots and family portraits.  So I went ahead and ordered quite a few gift certificates and want to spread the word that I’m available for hire :)  So if you have a friend who’s birthday is coming up, an anniversary or any occasion and you’d like to give them the gift of photography, give me a call :)

Today my best friend, Allison, asked me to do a quick photoshoot of her sister’s family.  It literally took us 5 minutes, but those 5 minutes provided some excellent shots, so I thought I’d post a few from today’s shoot :)
