Inside Out Salon in Eagle Idaho Boise Photographer

Today we are celebrating the ribbon cutting to Inside Out Salon in Eagle, Idaho.  For the last two years, we've watched Dawn Maglish make this journey of faith and perseverance to her dream of a not-for-profit salon with the proceeds going to fight human trafficking here in Idaho, in the U.S. and abroad.  Fox 9 was there to cover this story, check out the story and video here.

Hansen family Boise Photographer

 

The Hanson's had a Fabulous Fall Family session!  We appreciated the privilege to capture these memories of this time for them with their newest addition.  They are such a special family to us as we have watched their oldest daughter grow through the years.  Now we have a new little boy to keep an eye on as well! They wanted to take this opportunity to share a few of their favorite photos with you all!

Something for Veteran's Day...

Today I find my heart filled with gratitude for the men and women who have served in our armed forces.  I can't help but think about my wife's Grandfather who has passed on a few years ago.  He was a Pearl Harbor survivor, and his experience was such that he mostly refused to talk about it.  It wasn't until later in life that he finally came to terms with some of the horrors he experienced, but even then was reluctant to talk about it.  One thing he did talk about was the fact that his ship was in dry-dock and the ammunition for the ship was in a box car at the ammunition depot couple of miles away.  Him and five other shipmates ran to the depot to find the boxcar with the ship ammunition and pushed the boxcar all the way back to the ship so they could finally engage the enemy.  I was quite amazed at the fact that these six guys could move a loaded boxcar by hand over that distance...his reply was, "You'd be surprised what you can do when people are shooting at you..."  Evidently the horrors he saw after the battle defied description. I later heard some of the details from other family members he has confided in over the years, it was little wonder he didn't want to have to relive those things.  To Navy Chief Petty Officer William Klaes and the thousand of others who bear scars of their service and gave their lives in service to our country.  In sincere thanks, I salute you.

Emily H. From Newport, Oregon, Boise Photographer

 

We were truly delighted to have been able to photograph Emily's Senior Session.  We became acquainted with Emily and her family while we were photographing her older sister's wedding here in Idaho.  I got a message earlier this year asking if, we were coming back out to Oregon sometime soon... and would we be interested in taking Emily's Senior Portraits?  Long story, short...we headed out to Newport in September.  The weather was very kind to us during our stay, and gave us a nearly perfect day for Emily's Session.  You couldn't ask for more than that...

Newport and Oregon's Central Coast, Boise photographer

 Here are some images from my all-time favorite place on earth...the Oregon's Central Coast.   I have a couple of blogs up and coming that show some of the highlights of this trip featuring a Senior Photo Session and couple of awesome places to eat in Newport, Oregon.
