OK you local FAB Friends! Have we got a deal for you! Sorry out-of-towners, unless you want to travel to the Boise vicinity, you're out of luck on this one!
Have you heard of Shandy Vogt Photography yet? If not, you will soon because this lady is talented, way FABULESS, and super AMAZING!
Gone are the days of this sort of photography (looks more like torture I'd say!) Say good bye to posed, uncomfortable, unnatural family photos!
(yes that is me in the far right corner - circa 1980 baby!!)
And say HELLO! to beautiful, naturally comfortable, FABULESS looking photos!
Shandy is a natural light photographer for Newborns, Families, Seniors & Engagements. She specializes in Urban and Downtown locations. (Doesn't that sound so sophisticated?)
When I was talking to Shandy about her *magic* she said this,
"Taking a photo is more than making sure your settings are 'just right' and clicking the shutter. For me, it's being a witness to the impromptu, candid and everyday relationships between people and forever capturing that moment. I keep things fun, relaxed and enjoyable which shows in the end product - a product of fine art that you will be thrilled to display."
Shandy is a fun, easy going, instantly-put-you-at-ease type of gal. Just what one needs to have a successful photo shoot!
Now, check this stuff out!
a treasure.
true.
Look at how WAY CUTE this one is!!!
I just love how the little guy is hangin on his mama's legs.
And are your kids like mine when they are suddenly disgusted by a simple display of affection between you and your hubby? (How'd they think they got here anyway!?) EEEWWW GROSS!!
What a fun picture!! I LOVE IT!
But I must say, this one is my FAVORITE:
So by now, you can tell that we are dealing with a naturally talented artistic woman (she's been doing digital design and art and scrapbooking FOR YEARS! This lady knows her DIGITAL STUFF!).
THIS PACKAGE IS VALUED OVER $450!!!
IF YOU ARE THE LUCKY WINNER, YOU WILL RECEIVE:
- Full session (1.5-2 hours) at any location of YOUR CHOICE (Boise vicinity of course)
- 20-25 high resolution images on CD with a photographers release

I think it would be awesome to take pictures of my family (hubby & 3 kids) at the train depot and the rose garden. My hubby and I had our engagement pictures taken at these two places in 2001 and I think it would be cool to have our family picture taken there especially since we haven't had any professional pictures taken since then.
I would love my family pictures taken at the train depot or Catherine Albertsons park.
I like the "forever capturing the moment."

Oh my God, i would love to do this. 3 years ago after I had brought my 3rd child home, we had professional pictures taken at Virginia Beach at sunset. My then 18 month old daughter had never been to the beach and we could barely contain her from just jumping in the water. At the end of session we let her sit in the water and got some of the best candid shots.
I went to the blog. I love the picture with the blonde girl between her parent's legs. it is so candid.

I would love any great outdoor spot in Boise...anywhere but a boring indoor box store "portrait studio". I guess I would be partial to one of the parks/river area...but there are lots of great places around town.
I am now in your Facebook group.
My baby is 6 mo old and we don't have any decent family pics with him in it. I would LOVE to win this package! She is so talented, and it would be so nice to have some professional pics of our whole family. We haven't been able to afford much with my husband being laid off over the winter. This would be so great to win!
Joined your facebook page!
I'm also "following" you!!!
And last but not least...(still working on setting up my blog...I know...I'm behind/slow so I can't put your button on my blog yet!!)
the pics on Shandy's blog are great. I have to say I'm a bit partial to the family shots though. Yes, the babies are adorable...but I want/need a family pic done...so I'm looking more at those. One and only child/son is leaving for a mission this summer...HAVE to HAVE a family pic done. Last one was over 5 years ago (taken at a box store "portrait studio" and I HATE it. We all look terrible in it!!!
I would want pictures by a red barn, or at the fire house, with the fire engines, or an old brick building. Anywhere with family is good for me.
I just emailed your website to about 75 people who are on my provident living list, you've given us a ton of help and deals, love the site, keep it up!
WOW! Kathryn Albertson park (the daisies should be up soon) Indian Creek (behind the elementary in Kuna) Love the brick building idea maybe some stairs somewhere...like the Capital building or maybe up eighth street when it turns into a forest... :)
WOW i love her photography!!! i have always wanted to do family pictures on a bridge there is a great place for that in caldwell.
I would love to have photos taken downtown...with old buildings and doors and windows.
My favorite portraits are any of the baby ones. We have a baby coming this fall so I am a little obsessed. lol

I would love to have pictures taken of my new baby girl and her sister (18 months). It would be a dream come true, any way to get good pics of my 18 month old!
Since we are moving to a small town in Eastern Idaho, I'd love some country/rustic type family photos. I don't know downtown locations very well but I'm loving all of the areas I'm seeing on her site. So cute!
Well, I'm sort of biased but since Ben and Amber and fam are some of our favorite people, I just LOVE their photos. Their first family photo that's also in her header is just adorable, and I love the one of them holding their family picture.
I'm usually not one for naked baby pics but the one of the baby on the wood floor is just adorable!!!!
You guys totally rock with this give away, by the way. What a fun way to get the work out about your blog and also Shandy's. Great idea.
I also love the baby pic with the baby on his tummy, trying to lift his head, with his eyes still closed.
I just realized that is Krista's naked baby on the floor. Oh he is just adorable!!! Great job!
Ooo, and I found Karla's engagements too. Those turned out great! Loved her announcement.

Oh and I since our last photos were taken at the Depot, I might go with the downtown scene this time instead.
I would love to have a family picture taken by Shandy anywhere! We have 5 kids and haven't had a family picture taken since the latest addition, and he's almost 2!
Happy Mother's Day. I just lost my Mom on March 31 and have been having a rough time. I lost my Dad in 1997.
I would love to have some fun and get our family pictures taken.
I don't really care that much where we go, I do love Boise Depot, Camel back park is awesome too. Mountain scape? I don't care! I am SURE you know great spots!
We have four kids ages 2, 4, 6, 8 and I really want to get individual pictures taken and couple shots. We have been married for 10 years.
Please pick me!!!!

Shandy takes awesome photos! I would love for her to capture my crazy kids in their natural state! I would love any outdoor location! Shandy has a great eye, so any spot chosen will be the best!!!!!

I LOVE the baby pictures! I can't pick a favorite they are all so stinkin' cute! I love how she uses natural light! What a talent.
I ♥ them ALL but my favorites are the two kissy face ones!!! lesliemaeofthetetons at gmail dot com... I hope I win!!!
I would love to have pictures done by some beautiful dogwood trees. I think Ann Morrison park would be nice. My kids could have pictures done of them doing what they love, playing. There are so many things that could be done there. The river, the rose garden, or even the open fields with all the trees.
I think the picture of the couple holding the picture of their family was beautiful. Not only was the idea artistic it showed what truly holds a family together, Mom and Dad loving each other while caring for the family they love so dearly.
I would like to do family pictures by the waterfall at the Meridian county building. My kids love to watch those waterfalls! Or a real waterfall, for that matter. How amazing!
My favorite picture on the blog is any one of the naked baby. I love my fat little baby's chub and those are so cute!
I would love to have pictures taken with my 8 months old daughter at the park near our house. She loves to play on the swings and look at the baby duckies.
