Dear Friends,

This last year has been so hard on me. Please wish me well as I move forward and heal.

After a year of struggles and much deliberation I have decided to shut my doors for a while. I have very much enjoyed this job...and thank you all sincerely for the times we have shared. I need to focus on myself and my family for a while in a different direction, and perhaps then I can open back up.

Please take a moment to attach a fav photo that I have taken for you or a wonderful memory you may have!

Love to you all. Goodbye, for a while.

I thought long and hard about what I would write when this wedding was ready to be shared... but I decided to land with the truth.

This year has been exceptionally hard on me. I have suffered a lot with my C-PTSD and all the unwanted side dishes that come with this meal. I started to feel that there was no light left. (I have heard this shared by many during this year)
During the covid style wedding planning I did with these two (and there was a lot, thank you covid for changing things every other day) I found hope. Now, there is ALWAYS hope around you but with CPTSD (or any PTSD) it is almost impossible to see or feel during flashbacks. These two, however, seem to shine so brightly that I could see the light at the end of the tunnel every time I chatted with them. I am unable to put to words how deeply working with them has impacted me.
The setbacks to my life have been unreal over the last year and a half, the pains I have driven through have cut me deeper than I have ever felt. I was nearing a breaking point...and then came Chad and Karen. They didn't give up on their wedding celebration. Chad, through his military service, (thanks for your service) understood PTSD. Karen, through her kindness and empathy ~ as well as dealing with the massive upheaval to her wedding dreams ~ seemed to hug me full of hope. Their wedding was nearly completely changed from the time we met to the day of the wedding and yet it was far more than they realize to so many people.
I spoke with so many people, that recognized the meaning of my "semi-colon" tattoo who told me they were glad I was still here. They hugged me and said they loved and appreciated me. They validated me and told me I mattered. During these brief interactions with their family and friends I learned that almost everyone is suffering from this year and each and every one of them told me that they had gained sight of light again from Karen and Chad and the love they felt that day. Every one of them said that they could keep moving forward due to the normalcy and taste of pure human kindness and decency that they got to feel from Karen and Chad that day.
Thank you guys, for loving each other and pushing on. You gave so much more than you know this fall. Congrats. I love you both.
I am honored that you chose me to photograph your wedding, honored to be your friend, honored to know you.

Calling my LGTBQ friends and followers.

Please help me out...share this request!

Hi guys! I am a professional photographer with 6 national awards and best of boise year after year...Covid shut me down...completely done.

So instead of mourning (well...after mourning and working through intense emotions from this)
I decided to chase my passion projects.

Pride is canceled this year...broke my heart.
But I decided to do something about it.

I am looking for LGTBQ families, kids, couples, singles...queens...gender benders...all, any...
I want to photo you and do an exhibition on boise’s LGTBQ community

I want to do something that shows what being gay really is. Which basically means I want to show the world how incredibly normal wonderful beautiful LGTBQ is. People have such a stigma against being gay that they don’t realize the only real difference is sex/gender identification and preferences.
So I wanted to do some kind of a photo exhibition that portrayed people as they truly are instead of all the flags and garter belts and pride parade and Hollywood images – more of the true image/day-to-day beauty of life, and it just so happens to be that the people are gay ... if that makes sense. That way all the haters or people that just don’t understand can get the Hollywood image of gay out of their head and realize they are exactly the same!!!

Walking dog, cooking, partying...
Grocery shopping, picnics, hikes, cleaning the house, snuggling for movie night things that connect us as brothers and sisters.

Please message me or call me or text me if you want to be a part of this project.

This year has been rough...And the event industry, along with MUCH of our lives, have been suffering... so ~
Come and learn how to breathe again while exploring Art!

Its time to get Mindful with our families, habits and art!
In this class we will learn many different art techniques while learning several different daily practices to enrich our children ability to remain present, focused, and calm.
Each week the kiddos will create an art piece that is based around a mindfulness practice and then glue the practice on the back. We will start the class with a small (pretty dang small ~ designed for kiddos) meditation and a brief discussion of the past week...including thoughts on what skills were utilized and tried at out homes and how they helped...and then create a beautiful art piece that we will then learn from, practice and carry into our individual homes improving and enriching our ability to be present. We will practice/try the mindfulness game/skill as a group and then they get to take their work home and teach the family their new life skill while also showing off their artwork!
This class is built around loads of mindfulness practices that have not only been proven and used by millions worldwide...
but have been used in my home on a regular basis easing the emotional stresses of day to day life. These skills (and art therapy) have also calmed the traumas of my past. This class combines all learning types together using dance, song, motion, art, and enriching conversations.
This class in one hour and 15 minutes long.
There are several weekly options for this course. Message me for more info!
We will also have a "recital" of our displayed art pieces and a small "show" on what they are and how we use them every other month.
