Dealing out Dinosaurs and Fruit Snacks

I got the awesome opportunity to take some family photos a night or two ago.  This family has been our neighbors and friends for a while now, but they are leaving us and moving to Boise.   As I knew that I would be taking pictures of 4 young children, I decided to pack a bag of bribes, yes, bribes.  At some point, even the best kids, get sick of smiling for pictures or following the silly instructions from the photographer.  So I knew I need some kind of reward system.  So in between each sweet shot of this beautiful family that you see below, imagine the munching of the snacks and the collecting of toy dinosaurs.  Memories like that make the picture taking experience even better.

Happily Ever After -- A Two-Part Engagement Shoot

There are those annoying "just engaged" couples that, with whatever they're doing, just make you want to gag.  You know the type.  Cutesie little pet names, constantly making out in places no ever makes out in, like the line at McDonalds (yup, seen it!), and even though it's nice that they are getting married and they are in love or whatever, it's just....well...annoying.

Gladly, the couple I just did a two-part engagement shoot for was NOT like that.  They are one of those couples who are cute simply because they seem meant for each other. He is so sweet to her, and she is obviously gaga over him and they're just...cute.  You can tell that they are in love, but also best friends.  You can tell that they have their own brand of weird together and they sync, not match, just sync together perfectly.  Anyway, I'll stop all that lovey dovey talk and let you view the photos.

Here is part one:

 Part two of this engagement session was to be a themed one.  This cute couple decided for Halloween that they wanted to be Cinderella and Prince Charming.  So we had some fairy tale costumes and wouldn't it be nice if we has something here in Idaho Falls that resembled a fairy tale castle?  Oh yeah, we do!

 I wish Alisa and Logan all the best.  May eternity be awesome!!

P.S:  Thank you, Alisa, for designing my sweet new watermark.  So profesh!
