My favorite family sessions are when the family brings elements of what makes them unique to their session. For this family in the past they have brought a cooler of beverages and a football to throw around. This session started with a shot of bourbon to knock the edge off! This isn’t uncommon as many people feel shy in front of the camera or maybe they share a love of bourbon!

One of my favorite photo locations is the Dry Creek Historical Society! The reason being is that the Treasure Valley has a lot of beautiful locations for family photos but most aren’t private and you will run into other photographers pining for the best spots. You don’t have to do that here at the Farmstead Gardens because photographers are required to have a yearly pass to photograph here. I’ve made the investment to support the historical society by purchasing the pass. This allows my clients a very special location.

Reid Merrill Park in Eagle, Idaho is one of the most popular photoshoot locations in the Treasure Valley. It’s pretty much guaranteed that every time I have a shoot here I will see other photographers. It’s for a good reason since this area of Eagle has amazing access to the green belt as well as the Boise River. It looks good all year long and it is a very convient location for most families.

Have you ever bought a house and your real estate agent gave you a gift? Sometimes it’s as small as a bottle of wine or perhaps it’s a nice basket of cutesy items. Any time you get a gift it’s a nice suprise. I have a friend who is a real estate agent and she loves to give her clients local items.
