Boise's Premiere Child and Family Photographer | Tiffany Hix Photography Blog

I got to photograph little Miss "H" again! You might remember this little cutie from last spring. She participated in the "National Charity Model Search" that benefits Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. She is such a little ham in front of the camera and her session was so much fun! Here's a little peek ...

Clothes & Shopping , Cool Stuff , Portraits , kids

HOLY COW! That was the fastest response EVER! The outfit has been purchased and the session is filled! Thanks!

I saw the CUTEST outfit at The Children's Place the other day and I WISH that my daughter was old enough for it because I want to photograph a beautiful little girl in this outfit!!!! SO ... the first person to contact me and tell me that they have purchased this outfit for their little girl will get a complimentary 30 minute session and 6 image mini accordion album. The outfit must be the skirt, embellished ruffled top, and ruffled denim jacket. If you add in a pair of adorable cowboy boots that would be awesome!! Click here to purchase!

Thank you!!

More of my kids!!! - Boise Child and Family Photography

March 19, 2009 pink dot

Randomness , Sneak Peeks , children , family , kids

Yesterday was beautiful! Sunny, 60 degrees and only a slight breeze ... it was wonderful! I had ordered some clothes for the kids to do a shoot with them before Gabe loses a top tooth (both are really loose) but I told Gabe they were for his 6 year old pictures ... his birthday isn't until May so I will be doing another shoot for his birthday pictures but for we'll just keep that a secret from him for now. ;) We went to my new favorite little spot for a grungy, weedy, fabulous background. The gentleman that owns this property is very nice for letting me wander around and photograph there. I got to hear all about his family history too which was very interesting. His family has owned that property for nearly 100 years ... crazy!

So, Gabe loves the color green and he loves to wear ties and collared shirts. He's such a funny boy. He was so excited when we opened up the box of clothes and saw what was inside for him. Alison is my girlie girl. Her favorite color is pink and she loves to wear pink dresses and pink shoes. I actually have only gotten her out of that dress to go to bed last night ... she put it back on first thing this morning.

I am going to post the entire session of my kids as a slideshow here. If you want to see the images larger and hear the music I chose to accompany their session just click on the maximize icon on the bottom right of the slideshow viewer to view the slideshow full size.

Enjoy!

Crocus in bloom - Boise Child and Family Photography

March 17, 2009 pink dot

Randomness

It looks like Spring has almost sprung ... my crocus in the front yard are just starting to bloom. Yesterday I had a lovely little spot with 3 or 4 blossoms ... that is until a 3 year old with red hair and pretty purple princess dress opened the front door while I was on the phone and went out and picked them ... all of them. :( What can I say? She loves flowers and she was sooooooo proud of herself for picking them. So to make lemonade of lemons I decided I would photograph the biggest bloom just for fun! Even though the color images are really pretty with the white and purple I felt like these were even more cool in a dark, moody black and white. Maybe it was reflective of my mood from the yucky rainy weather yesterday ....

Enjoy!

Rach - Your lil' 3 year old princess sounds exactly like my 2 year old princess ~ loves to pick everything! Love the moodiness of the black & white. Cool how you can see the crocus reflected into the table (or is that a mirror?) If it's a table, that's ONE shiny table! LOL! March 18, 2009

tiffhix - That is a my table. I have a glass top on it to keep the kids from putting dents in my table with their silverware. It works great for shooting reflections but it is a pain to keep clean and shiny. Little hands leave marks all over it! LOL! March 18, 2009

Bree - So gorgeous... I love shots like these. You have inspired me to go buy some flowers and play around. March 23, 2009

FAQ and My loves - Boise Child and Family Photography

March 9, 2009 pink dot

Portraits , Randomness , children , family , kids

So, I got this phone call today from my BFF blog stalker letting me know that I suck at updating my blog. Hmmm ... well, ok I do think I've been slacking on adding content to my blog posts but they aren't completely missing. Whateva! LOL! Let's see ... I've had a lot of email from photographers lately asking questions so I'll take a minute to answer some frequently asked questions here.

What camera do you use?

I'm a Canon girl. I shoot with a 5D and have a 20D backup.

When lenses do you use?

I'm a self professed lens junkie and I love L glass. My current lens line up is:

Canon 35 mm f/1.4L

Canon 50 mm f/1.2L

Canon 85 mm f/1.2L

Canon 135 mm f/2L

Canon 70-200 mm f/2.8L IS

Are there any photoshop actions that you use?

First things first .... the first step to creating an image to make sure that your image is properly exposed and well lit. There is no "fix all" for photoshop or action that can make any photo good, you must start with a good image and then enhance it. Now that my PSA is done .... I use Lightroom to process my images and then pull them in to Photoshop for additional retouching if needed. When I do use actions I like Totally Rad Actions but with my own tweaks added.

Can I shadow you?

Because my clients are expecting my complete attention and I expect to give that to them I do not allow other photographers to shadow me.

Do you have any suggestions for some one just starting out?

Practice, practice, practice. Make sure your work is consistently good ... properly exposed, well lit, good composition ... before you begin thinking about turning photography in to a career.

And now on to the second subject in the title .... My Loves! Here's a couple of images of each of my kiddos from this weekend. And these images are just sooooo them. I love Alison in her pink sunglasses and ponytail and the way she holds her hands together when she's cold. And then my Gabe ... he's so funny. I love his big laugh and even his shaggy long hair and chapped lips because he licks them when he's concentrating on something. Oh, I love my babies!

Rach - I have to agree, I miss seeing your updates and pictures. I always want to see MORE! :) Good to see the kiddos! March 10, 2009

Brandy - So, I am the stalker BFF, and glad to see you listened to my suggestions! Love the pics and love you! March 10, 2009

April tTodd - I love your work!! I am a big fan!! March 15, 2009

Catherine A. - Thanks, Tiffany! :) March 15, 2009

Ryan - Yay for an update! The babies are as cute as always! March 17, 2009
