Had such a wonderful time taking photos of these families in Boise. This shoot was extra special to me because we are very close friends with one of these families, and anytime I take photos of people that I love it brings special meaning to my work, reminds me what’s so wonderful about photos and the way they stop time, and keeps being a photographer meaningful for me.

We took these photos at Veterans Memorial Park, which is a suprisingly amazing location. I had scouted it and another location and landed on Veterans Memorial because of the consistent shade (for our 3p.m. shoot), and because I knew it would be an easy and great spot for kids to hang out (there were three families and three children at this shoot).

C and A families, thank you so much for hiring me to take these photos, I had such a wonderful time hanging out with you all for the afternoon.
