This was Hannah’s first shoot. We found an amazing old dairy barn to shoot in as well as some sweet meadows and waterfalls. As you probably know, I LOVE waterfalls! We even managed to find a hot spring.

Briahna and I explored the Boise River to get these epic body paint shots. Here’s her thoughts, post-shoot: “Thank you. It was super fun. Took Forever to wash the paint out of my hair but it was worth it!”

Nicole agreed to hit up the Camas Prairie Nature Preserve with me to see if we could find some of their famous purple flowers for our backdrop. What we found is that we were too late for flowers, but it was windy and we took advantage of the plentiful swaying grasses for our bodypaint shoot.

It was 15 degrees. The streets were frozen solid and we fishtailed around every turn, but we made it to this magical parkland and knocked out some stunning shots in the snow. Even saw a deer!

Sometimes mermaids live in the forest. Seems like yesterday, but this shoot was quite a few years ago now. Timeless beauty.

Probably one of the most adventurous ladies I’ve met! Charming, poised and beautiful and when it comes to life–a fighter! We explored a historic inn by night to get these amazing shots.

"Deep in Unfathomable Mines" - I'm reminded of this hymn by William Cowper: God moves in a mysterious wayHis wonders to perform;He plants His footsteps in the seaAnd rides upon the storm.Deep in unfathomable minesOf never failing skillHe treasures up His bright designsAnd works His sov’reign will.Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;The clouds ye so much dreadAre big with mercy and shall breakIn blessings on your head.Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,But trust Him for His grace;Behind a frowning providenceHe hides a smiling face.His purposes will ripen fast,Unfolding every hour;The bud may have a bitter taste,But sweet will be the flow’r.Blind unbelief is sure to errAnd scan His work in vain;God is His own interpreter,And He will make it plain.

Don’t Close Your Eyes

MODEL / BRANDI

Brandi had an epiphany of sorts on this shoot. I often have chats about the goodness of the body and God’s original plan for humanity and Brandi really zoned into expressing her true self towards the end of our shoot.

Katie stepped away, dropped her towel and walked out toward the river’s edge… and just like that a couple of magical hours went by in a flash.

"I think artists should lie low and stick to their work, not line-dance through the parks.” ― Walter Kirn; Model: Katie

"When He said, ‘Be perfect,’ He meant it. He meant that we must go in for the full treatment. It is hard; but the sort of compromise we are all hankering after is harder—in fact, it is impossible. It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad." – CS Lewis; Model: Katie

Being photographed nude is a really freeing experience. Christal truly stepped into herself when she removed her clothing. What looked like shyness at first turned into liberty.
