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!

This session was so much fun! We did this family of four at Kathryn Albertson Park here in Boise, Idaho.  This park is a gorgeous setting with lots of wildlife. I've seen many rabbits and geese other birds here.  There have been deer sightings at this Boise park as well.  According to Boise Parks and Recreation, "The park is named for Kathryn McCurry Albertson, a Boise native who met her future husband, Joe Albertson, at the College of Idaho. Joe Albertson was the founder of Albertsons Inc."  The park map shows the extensive paved trails throughout the park.

Here are 3 links to older articles, but they give a wonderful background about Kathryn Albertson Park here in Boise, Idaho:

• American Nurseyman magazine article March 15, 1993
• BOISE magazine article Siblings: Ann Morrison and Kathryn Albertson parks
• Idaho Statesman article: The landscape architect behind one of Boise's most beautiful park

This park is wonderful for outdoor Boise, Idaho portrait sessions because of the variety of backdrops available.  There are ponds, bridges, beautiful foliage, and gorgeous pathways.  In the spring and summer, there are fields of gorgeous flowers. There is also an amazing water fountain in the middle of one of the ponds that runs in the summer that makes a pretty backdrop.  Stokes Photography in Boise, Idaho has had many wonderful sessions at this park.  

This family of four had two cute adorable boys.  We started out in superhero costumes to get the boys at ease. They gave us wonderful super hero poses and ran around in their capes and masks.  It was so much fun! Mom and dad were the sweetest ever and we were able to capture genuine moments of fun and laughter during our session.  The weather was perfect for this session and we had beautiful Boise sun shining down on us.  This is part 1 of this session.  I promise to post more in a later blog!  

The weather out there is not too bad, Boiseans.  We can definitely get gorgeous family portraits in this season. There are so many nice winter outfits that photograph well, like scarves, hats, and boots.  Contact me today to schedule your session!

Oh my gosh, you guys! We had beautiful little Mia in the studio when she was brand new here in Boise, Idaho.  Little Mia was so sweet and had the most gorgeous head of hair.  She slept so good during her session that we were able to multiple setups.  We got several gorgeous images on the bean bag with several wraps and backdrops.  We were able to use the custom made big gorgeous flower on a hand painted backdrop as well.  This session was to die for!  Mom and dad looked on point and took great pictures with their little squishy baby.

We had this lovely family session on a rainy day here in Boise, Idaho.  The family was completely happy with posing in the rain and I'm so glad we did!  They came out amazing.  We did this session at the historic Boise Train Depot in Boise, Idaho.  Little Ashlin was full of laughter and you can see the love in this family.  We got so many good images with the Boise Train Depot in the background.  Even though it was raining, the lighting was fantastic! 

I learned that the Train Depot is open for tours and events! I've been in Boise, Idaho a long time and didn't realize that tours were available.  I took a quick peek inside the Boise Train Depot and it was very cool.  There are historic chairs and beautiful tile work and displays about the history of the Boise Train Depot.

This was a wonderful session and we had a fun time getting these beautiful images for this family.

It's not too late to get some outdoor sessions in!  Family pictures in coordinating winter gear can be quite adorable.  There are gorgeous scarves, hats and boots that look awesome in pictures!

Sweet baby Hunter was a rockstar for his newborn session!  He was so peaceful and gave us wonderful expressions and poses.  Newborn portraits are a once in a lifetime opportunity.  These portraits will be cherished forever and handed down through generations.  They look great above the mantle, on Christmas cards, above the crib, or in an album!

I had the privilege of working with the K. family and they were so happy with their images.  Here's a review from Sarah K. about this image:

"Guys.... I'm so in love!! This picture is a work of art!! And I'm in no way saying that because the family in it is mine!

I'm saying this 100% because I know that the amazing artist who took this picture knew exactly what she was doing! She took an incredible shot AND did incredible job editing out random poles and runners that I'm very aware were there!

This is one of MANY reasons why you pay a professional!! You receive back, I received back, such an amazing piece of art that happens to have my family in it!!

I'm dying for this beauty to be framed and mounted on my wall in just a couple of weeks!!"

Such an amazing family!! They received a large, beautifully framed portrait for their home that is stunning.  More pictures from this session to follow!
