Idaho Legacy Business Portraits

I had the opportunity recently to take portraits for a group of contractors for them to use on their website.  I have done some pictures of their construction projects in the past, and it was fun to take portraits of the people behind the beautiful homes :).

A Twin Falls Photo Field Trip

I love Twin Falls.  It is a special place - a small town, but with plenty of shopping, great outdoors activities, and everything is at the most, ten minutes away.  A little while back, I was hired to take some pictures of Twin and all the special things that make it what it is.  I jumped at the chance to capture this special town, where I went to high school, and where my husband was born and raised.  In fact, I had him help me make my list of things to photograph - there was a lot :).

Twin Falls Municipal Band Shell in the City Park

I love all the old churches down town.

And then there are the other beautiful buildings downtown, like the courthouse and the library.

In the warehouse district, there are some really fantastic buildings, and around the corner, is the Depot Grill - quintessential Twin Falls. 

The Turf Club is another quintessential Twin Falls location.  It's been around forever, and I wish I could have seen it in its hey-day.

And then there are the things that remind you that you are surrounded by farms.  Like silos in the downtown area. 

Or a small alfalfa field in the middle of a neighborhood, complete with irrigation wheels.

And of course, there is the sugar factory, that although it makes the town smell really awful at times, is something that is purely Twin Falls, with the piles of sugar beets an smoke that trails in the air.

One place that is particularly special to me, is Twin Falls High School, where my husband and I graduated.  It is an old school, but it was a great school, and I have so many amazing memories that were made there.

And CSI, the small college in town, that allowed for lots of memories too, and not because I was ever a student there, but I spent many hours performing in their auditorium, playing games on their giant lawns, and many other things.

But even with all these wonderful places in Twin, my favorite place is the Twin Falls Idaho Temple.  It is a special haven, and it is such an amazing blessing to have a temple in our little town.

I am so grateful for this small town, and for the chance I have to live here with my family before we head back into the rest of the world.  It really is a special place.

Beautiful Mikeena Mae

On Monday morning, I was up early, and just before sunrise, my niece, Mikeena, and I were already out and taking her Senior Portraits.  She is such a gorgeous girl, and we had such a fantastic time going around Twin Falls and taking her portraits.  I am so happy I happened to be in Idaho to be able to take them.  These are some of my favorites, and I especially love the one of her dancing, as that is so Mikeena.

Holly's Family

When I was in Idaho on vacation, I was able to take portraits for my sister, Holly.  She had a new baby since the last time I took her pictures, and so she needed updates :).  It is always a very fun adventure, and I had a great time.
