I was totally expecting another snowpocalypse in Boise, Idaho this year, but no sign of it yet!  I can't believe how warm it's been. I was able to squeeze in a gorgeous family session during the snow. This family was amazing and so fun to work with.  The kids smiled like rockstars and had fun running around in the snow to all the different places at the Boise Depot.  This location is great for pictures because you can get a variety of different backdrops.  You have the train tracks, the beautiful, historic depot, stairs, a cityscape, waterfall, etc.  It looks lush and inviting in the summer and magical in the winter time.

Even though we don't have snow on the ground, the weather is perfect for outdoor portraits.  Winter sessions  in Boise, Idaho are awesome because of the clothing and winter accessories that we can incorporate into the session.  Cute hats, gloves, scarves, ear muffs, etc. can be great accessories to winter clothing.  And boots!  Boots look so great but you usually can't wear them in the blistering heat in the summer in Boise.  During these colder sessions, I usually recommend bringing a blanket or coat so you can stay warm in between shots.  This works great for the little kids too!

Hello everyone!  Today's blog post is about an amazing woman I met in Clarkston, Washington.  I traveled to meet Allison who is the owner of Allison's Formal Dresses, which is in Clarkston and very close to Lewiston, Idaho. Allison's Formal Dresses works closely with prom and ball attendees, pageant contestants, and anyone who needs a gorgeous formal dress to attend their special event. 

I spent some time chatting with Allison and looking at all of her wonderful dresses she had in stock.  She explained how she works closely with pageant contestants and they describe what type of dress they are looking for and Allison goes on the hunt!  She provides pictures, videos, and detailed descriptions to help clients find the perfect dress.  She will ship anywhere in the United States and is working towards shipping worldwide soon.

Our own Mrs. Idaho 2017, Naomi Gibbs, has used Allison's Formal Dresses several times.  Here she is in a stunning 2 piece white dress from Allison's Formal Dresses:

You guys, this dress was incredible.  It had intricate beading on the top and the skirt was voluminous and layered in the most pretty way.  

Allison is seriously the most sweet and helpful shop owner I've ever met.  She listens attentively and is truly passionate about finding beautiful dresses.  She says, "We always strive to bring in trendy, yet unique designs and we strive to stay with reasonable price ranges for designer gowns.  Each gown is hand chosen for our inventory with a great deal of thought and love."

She is extremely responsive on Facebook Messenger, Instagram, or SnapChat (@allisonsdresses).

For our beauty portrait sessions, we have a studio session where the client brings several outfits/dresses and we have a fun and amazing portrait session with a variety of different backdrops and outfit changes.  If you want, we can work with Allison to find the perfect gown for your photo shoot.  Please contact me today at 208-703-6455 to set up a consultation for your portrait session!

Here are some images of the beautiful dresses she had in stock when I visited:

I have a great working relationship with Allison.  We can work together to find you the perfect dress to create gorgeous images for you and your loved ones to cherish forever.  We can have a fun and relaxed studio session here in Boise, Idaho.
