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.

i heart elizabeth | boise children's photographer

i wish i had more sessions like this. just me, and one little, teeny tiny person showing me their  bright, big world. elizabeth and her family live in seattle, so i was extremely flattered they chose little ol' me to be their photographer. finding an urban location downtown that is also tucked far enough away from cars and traffic isn't the easiest thing in the world. but i loved this pocket we came across. it was totally suitable for play (minus a few patches of, um, broken glass, sorry mom!) and we had a delightful time.

enjoy this little peek at elizabeth. she's a vibrant child with a bright future. just check out those eyes.

pure happiness

and a liitle bit sassy

such a beautiful child

i'm a fan of the giggle

getting dirty

and sometimes you just have to cheese it up because its adorable.

now just a warning: these next few shots are not technically perfect. it was at the end of our session, the light was low on a grey cloudy day, so these are not as clear or crisp as i would normally show. but i fell in love with them, and the feeling of being F R E E that they convey.

and there you have it my friends. thanks for stopping by.

Kyleigh and Chris | Boise Wedding Photographer

Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, After much deliberation a conclusion has been reached: I will post the first part of Chris and Kyleigh's wedding photo extravaganza here, at this time, hallelujah. The second part, including shots of getting ready, ceremony, reception and anything else I feel like  will be posted at a (hopefully not much) later time. why, you ask?

too.     many.       gorgeous.      photos.          to.           choose.        from.

But for today, here's the break down. I met Chris and Kyleigh the morning of their wedding day to do some yan style, only bride and groom, out of the box shots. This was their time to be together and be in love and work it out like models all over boise. mission accomplished. I have the proof. To see more some of the stuff I'm not posting yet, check out the awesome site of fellow rocksta----I mean, photographer, jayme montoya, here.

I was lucky enough to have jayme along to second shoot. She did an a m a z i n g job.

and speaking of amazing, I have to say that while Kyleigh and Chris were falling in love with each other all over again, I was falling in love with them! Seriously, I couldn't have dreamed up a better couple to work with. Watching them do their thing, adoring each other and celebrating their love made heart happy. Thanks so much you guys.
