there are no words | modern boise family photographer

sometimes the word awesome just isn't strong enough. and since my late night vocabulary is even worse than my daytime vocabulary, i can't think of a more adequate substitue. so i'll just give you THE grove family. family of awesomeness. family of style. family of nice. kirsten runs a sweet little ship over at simply grove where she blogs about all things related to design and decor. check her out here.

she opened up her lovely home to me to photograph her two little darlings, Ethan and Eden. As I was walking around the grove establishment completely googly eyed, i was overwhelmed with the shooting possibilities. i realized yet again that decisiveness is not one of my strengths. and therefore you may be seeing another post from me in the near future debuting more incredible scenes from this family's day to day.

but for now...

me vs. them (they won) | boise family photographer, boise child photographer

let me show you who i was up against this last wednesday:

fighter one, and

fighter two.

it was over before it began. i don't even think i should try not to fall in love with my clients anymore. sure, i know its sorta odd. but what can you do when your peering into these gorgeous little souls?

if you want the truth, the real reason it was over before it began is that  i happened to have met these two before we ever talked about a session. awhile back, my husband and i needed to get out of the house with our kids for some fresh air, and stumbled upon the nicest family at the playground. you know how sometimes you meet people and right away you sense a warmth about them? when i observed these  girls at the playground, i was struck by how attentive and interactive their parents were. their family dynamic was so UNITED.  i  DO believe you can observe that very dynamic

here:

see what i mean?

needless to say, i was way pumped to photograph them. maybe a little too pumped. i worked them a little too hard at the end, greedy for as many pictures as i could get. but they were amazing the entire time. and here are some of my favorites to prove it.

a few house keeping matters; availability and newborns

hey you. yeah you, the one tossing around the idea of booking a session. pardon me for lighting the fire beneath your you know what, but i regret to inform you that JUNE IS BOOKED! so if you do want some photos of your precious ones, i would advise getting in touch with me for a session in july or august soooooooon. =) to reiterate, i already have a few bookings in july, and am now scheduling into July and August.  And to save myself from sounding like too much of a meanie, I have an exciting announcement for anyone expecting a baby this summer! I am waiving, that's right, waiving my session fee for newborn sessions scheduled with me during the month of July. Details:

*Sessions can take place in either July or August (if you ask reaaaaallllllly nicely i might be able to squeeze in someone in June).

*Sessions must be scheduled during the first 10 days of baby's life

*Sessions will take place in YOUR home. That's right, I come to you!

*Participants must sign a model release and be willing to name their newborn child after me (middle name is okay). kidding. but really, i'm looking for sweet newborns with nice parents who are open to some creative and fresh ideas for newborn photography!

So if you're interested, and I hope you are, puh-lease send me an email at photography.yan@gmail.com.
