The Smith Family

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!

rabe_23

Thanks Rabe Family!!! I had a great time photographing you!!!

kristin: okay, this little girl definitely belongs in a gap ad!! she is adorable and i love the lolly shots!!

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!!
