i am so pleased with how these turned out. i was worried because it was windy and bitter cold. girls are adorable. the family is fun. their personalities are contagious.

big sister kept trying to help little sister pose. too cute!

thank you, droghei family, for letting me capture a few moments of your families personality.

i can't believe it has already been 6 months since i last met this little guy. time sure does fly. he was a trooper too. freezing winter temperatures and a wind chill that froze us all to the bone. i think he was the only one out of our small group that was wearing a smile that day!

not a huge fan of dogs (and my kids absolutely despise them)...but this one liked me for some reason. yeah, i decided i could probably do one like that.

my favorite of the session. doesn't mom look great (sexy and sassy)!

thank you, knuteson family, for letting me capture a few moments of your smiley little guy.

one thing i love about my job is how many different families/individuals i get to meet. and some of those become friends. which is how i feel about the dewitt family. with them i never feel like i am taking pictures of clients, i feel i am taking pictures of friends and i appreciate them making me feel so comfortable.

this was another session i did right before we took off for the holiday (can you tell i am playing catch up...). it was slightly cold, but we, once again, had a lot of fun and i am super excited to show what we were able to capture.

sister is so photogenic.
and you should have seen her purse. probably the ca-utest one i have ever seen. i guess i should have taken a picture of it too, huh! whoops! i warned her not to put it down because i might take it! jk hey, i would have left her wallet....i just wanted the purse!

we totally trespassed for this one. it was dad's idea though!

mom might hate me, but i LOVE her glasses. she kept wanting them off, and i "accidentally" forgot to tell her she still had them on. doesn't she look hot! sorry mom...hope we can still be friends! =)

thank you, dewitt family, for letting me capture a few more moments of your family.

thanksgiving break over and time to get back to work.

this is a session i did right before i headed out of town. i hadn't seen the little girl in quite a few months and was so amazed at how much she had grown and what a little girl she was becoming.

mom looks outstanding for being 8 months pregnant. i am not one of those woman who is blessed with just gaining weight in the belly. i am so envious of this gal. look how cute her little belly is.

my favorite of the session.

how sweet.

thank you, thompson family, for letting me capture a few moments of your "growing" family. i can't wait to meet baby girl!

Megan + Skylar {Pocatello Engagement Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:35:00 +0000

we went to see some family on a quick weekend trip. while their, i was able to do skylar and megan's engagement session. i was a little worried about the winter storm warnings but it was perfect weather...minus the cold.

skylar and megan were quite shy at first, but quickly warmed up to my demands! =)

i am so in love with this spot and the background.

my favorite of the session

too fun!

thank you, megan and skylar, for letting me capture a few moments of your love.

see you in a few weeks for your special day!

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:19:00 +0000

i laughed through most of this session. this little guy is so entertaining. i felt so comfortable around this little family...which is probably why i laughed my way through most of this session.

take a peek to find out what i mean:

here comes the personality:

wasn't that fun!

thank you, todd family, for letting me capture a few moments of your personality and for putting me in a great mood.

Bentley {Boise Family Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:02:00 +0000

can't say enough about how cute this little family is. the boys are absolutely adorable and i really hope one of them will want to marry my daughter in the future. each of them have the bluest eyes that melt your heart the instant they look at you.

go ahead, take a look:

my favorite of the session!

thank you, bentley family, for letting me capture those blue eyes.

enjoy your holidays!

i have a done a few sessions with this little guy. i fell in love with him all over again. he is so cute and sweet and looks so innocent. he also got me over the top excited about christmas.

take a peek to find out what i am talking about.

i believe!

the last time i seen this little cutie pie, she was about 6 weeks old. time really flies and i was super excited when they called and wanted another session because i couldn't wait to see how much she had changed. i love shooting this age...can sit up, but not run away from me....haha (evil laugh)...just kidding. i am really nice even though sometimes i make funny noises from behind the camera.

take a look...you will fall in love with her too.

told ya so!

what you don't see in this picture is the poor little thing shaking from the cold.

thank you, love family, for letting me capture your sweet baby girl again.
i hope she warmed up.

Emily {Boise Senior Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:07:00 +0000

emily was so great to work with.

she is photogenic. she is confident.

she was so comfortable in front of the camera. i found out about half way through our session that her favorite show is america's next top model. okay, it is coming together and totally making sense...my camera loves her.

with her best pal
(i am not going to write his name because i don't want to completely butcher the spelling)

thank you, emily, for braving the snow and cold...no better yet, the freezing cold...and allowing me to capture a few moments of your personality.

Channer {Boise Newborn Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 20:01:00 +0000

meet sweet baby boy channer.

he is only just over a week old. and perfect as ever.

we could not get him to sleep. now, i know most newborns don't like being naked, but mom and dad even brought a space heater to keep little guy warm. he wasn't buying it. smartie pants. it may look as though we got him to sleep...but we didn't...and we tried for almost 3 hours. after our session, mom said he was out cold for the rest of the afternoon. channer, i am so offended! jk

my favorite of the day. and it was dad's idea.

thank you for letting me capture a few moments of baby channer.

Sharlee + Zach {Boise Wedding Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:25:00 +0000

rain, rain go away. come again another day.

this was a spectacular day, minus the gloomy weather for the first half of it. this wedding really touched me and how lucky i am to be a part of something so special and sacred. i bawled through about half of it, and i hardly even know them.

be aware, i posted a lot of pictures.

getting ready:

she is wearing her mother's wedding dress and she looked stunning.

the first glance:

my favorite part of weddings.

i think he likes what he sees. what do you think?

before the ceremony:

we were supposed to go to a park and get some pictures, but due to the rain we weren't able to do that. so, we met outside the temple a few minutes before they were supposed to go in. we were huddled under the covered entry trying to get a few shots, not knowing if they were the only ones we would be able to get throughout the day.

my favorite of the day.

after the ceremony:

don't they look so happy. and guess what, the rain stopped.

bride with her dad.

what a sweet, tender, and emotional candid moment.

bridesmaids.

the wedding party.

groom with best man.

just having fun:

aren't her shoes ca-ute.

i wish i dared wear colored shoes on my wedding day.

dinner and celebration:

held at limelight dance studio.

we are huge disney fans at our house, so when i seen her guest sign-in book, i couldn't help but smile. if you have seen the movie, you will know the book. if not, see the movie!

it was candle lit and romantic.

toast:

from maid of honor.

first dance:

thank you, sharlee and zach, for allowing me to be a part of your special day. i am forever changed!

Parry {Boise Family Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:28:00 +0000

i had this particular spot in mind. been there before, loved the way they turned out. went for this session and they had my favorite part of this old building down town blocked off.

RUDE!

we were still able to capture some great shots. it helps when you have two of the cutest girls ever.

tender.

call me crazy but i absolutely {heart} this one. go ahead...call me crazy. i dare you.

uh-oh. time out.

thank you, parry family, for letting me capture a few moments of your family.

Luke {Boise Family Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:01:00 +0000

a little while back i had a message on my cell phone. it was from this mom. she starts off, "hi, mandie, this is ***** luke, i don't know if you remember us...."

okay, hold on right there. are you kidding. of course i remembered them. who could forget the two cutest little bubbly red heads.

i started getting giddy when the end of her message said they wanted to schedule another session this year. these girls are so adorable. and they have so many ideas of their own on pictures they want taken of themselves. i just kind of sit back, listen and snap away. i should definitely hire them as assistants.

breathtakingly adorable.

told you they were bubbly, and let's not leave out energetic.

thank you, luke family, for letting me capture a few more moments of your adorable family.

Wells {Boise Family Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:18:00 +0000

i love fall. it is my favorite time of year. i think i might even like it better than christmas. i love the leaves. i love the colors. and i love taking family pictures.

especially families like this one:

what a scrumptious cutie pie.

my new all time favorite.

mom is gorgeous.

thank you, wells family for letting me capture a few moments of your little family.

i must confess. i fell in love with your little handsome boy.

Fish {Boise Family Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:03:00 +0000

running late for a dentist appointment and preschool party. short on words.

fish family is adorable. girls are cute. mom is beautiful. and dad adores them all.

this picture makes me smile so much.

my favorite.
slightly overexposed...whoops. i seem to get at least one favorite per session that i overexpose. working on it.

found this chair just sitting in the park. borrowed it for a few minutes.

thank you, fish family, for letting me capture a few moments of your family.

Evancic {Boise Family Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:03:00 +0000

i have done a lot of sessions this fall. and most of them have been requested to be at this park. this park has been absolutely breathtaking this year.

problem: what do you get when you combine a late saturday afternoon, beautiful weather, and a gorgeous park with fall colors?

give up....people and photographers.

i was blown away at how many people there were roaming around this park during the evancic's session. it was insane. but still fun!

i had a harder time getting the dog to look rather than baby.

sweet nibblicious cheeks. i so just made that word up.

my favorite of the session.

thank you, evancic family, for letting capture a few moments of your little family and for waiting in line to get most of them. =)

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:37:00 +0000

I pulled a stupid moment earlier. I posted this on my personal site. sorry!

i love this family. my husband loves this family. we love this family. dad is hilarious. mom is sweet and funny. and daughter is adorable. and wait until you see her eyes!

warned you.

thank you, grover family, for letting me capture a few moments of your sweet family.

Doesn't she look stunning.

So cute...granddaughter walked up to her and said, "you look like a princess."

Congratulations.

Thank you for letting me capture a few moments on your special day.

Megan + Bob Part II {Boise Wedding Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:24:00 +0000

megan and bob wanted some bridal and groomal photos. they were married one year ago, but weren't able to capture what they wanted on their wedding day. so, i had the opportunity to snap some for them. besides being slightly chilly, we had a blast!

and, remember from my last post...they are an adorable couple!

i super {heart} this one.

love the fall colors.

sexy.

thank you, bob and megan, for letting me capture a few moments for you. enjoy.

Megan + Bob Part I {Boise Couple Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:17:00 +0000

two words describe this couple: beautiful, fun, relaxed, and in love. okay, that was more than two words. i couldn't help myself. megan is breathtakingly beautiful and i could tell bob just cherishes her. what an adorable couple.

relaxed, yet still extremely photogenic.

love this one.

told you she was beautiful.

thank you, megan and bob, for letting me capture a few moments of your love.

stay tuned for part II.

Rebecca {Emmett Senior Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:49:00 +0000

i love senior sessions. love them. and rebecca...gorgeous. her eyes sparkle.

her session was a tad bit windy...okay really windy. i was extremely annoyed at first, and then began to love it. i would wait for small gust of wind to come because it would slightly blow her hair. and the sky...overcast. love it. perfect session.

i am still learning how to capture sun flare. here is an attempt.

isn't she gorgeous.

told you her eyes sparkle.

thank you, rebecca, for letting me capture some senior moments.

good luck with your senior year. go huskies!

Rex {Boise Famiy Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 17:12:00 +0000

love the rex family. love them. great friends. miss them too.

their session was outstanding. the kids were great. brother kept giving me the cheeser smile. the challenge was trying to capture his natural adorable smile. sister was distracted by the rocks, leaves, and grass and loving that she could sit up on her own. she wasn't interested in me and the camera. i am so offended. =)

check out there cute pictures:

he must take bronco football pretty serious.

thank you, rex family, for letting me capture a few moments of your family.

go broncos!

Schmidt {Boise Family Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 22:17:00 +0000

i have had this spot where i have been dying to take pictures. problem, i have had no takers...until now. mom wanted some rustic, downtown alley shots so i sent her to check out "the spot". she then found a different alley with graffiti and gorgeous old brick. so, with those two spots equals an exciting and fun session.

i could not pick my favorites from this session. i wanted to post them all.

here are the few i decided on:

this little guy would not sit still for .5 seconds. about half way through our session, i kind of discovered why. poor kid was freezing and just trying to keep warm. i am so mean!

slightly over exposed (whoops...operator error)...but still a favorite.

thank you, schmidt family, for letting me capture a few moments of your family.

Parson {Boise Nampa Family Photographer}

noreply@blogger.com (Mandie Anderson) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 23:17:00 +0000

love this family.

mom is adorable. dad is soft and genuine. boy is super personality. and girl is a princess.

they are the first family i have shot in nice dress (besides a wedding). don't they look nice. we had fun trying to out run the rain and wind, but it turned out to be a great session.

melt my heart

check out these two pair of gorgeous eyes.

cute. and still in love.

isn't mom gorgeous.

probably my favorite shot of the day.

thank you, parson family, for letting me capture a few moments of your family again.
