Boise Family Photographer – Everhart Photography

Those of you that regularly read my blog know that spotting a review here is a very rare occurrence. I don’t do them for money – or a TV dinner (do they still call them “TV dinners”?) as requested by PR firms so frighteningly often – but I do write them when I happen to stumble on a fabulous company or sweet deal. Like today. (See sweet deal on Everhart Photography photo session and prints here – only good for a couple more days.)

I recently took my niece to a local (Boise) photographer as a birthday gift. She got to get all “dolled up”, spend the day with the-best-aunt-ever (yes-that’s me), and be a super model for the day. Aside from the amazing birthday gift – that I came up with all by myself, by the way – I couldn’t believe how absolutely wonderful the photographer was. I mean, the pictures came back – WOW – but the way she worked with my niece was incredible. She really got that I was trying to give my niece the “super model” feel, and worked it accordingly.

I asked Sarah, the photographer, how she got into photography to which she replied; “I’ve always loved taking pictures and working with people, particularly kids, so I made my mind up several years back to master the craft and make it my profession. I’ve been enjoying every minute of it since.” Well, mastered the craft she certainly did.

If you’re in the Boise area, I’d recommend a thousand times over going to Everhart Photography if you’re looking for a great photographer – especially if you have little ones. Her prices are very reasonable, another BIG + if you’ve got little ones and she’s got an eye for amazing photographs.

The MommaKiss MeMe


I’ve got a feather in my ass today and it’s not because I’m kitten-sitting and Molly totally just get her ass kicked by an 8 week old furball with major “little kitty” sydrome. It’s because we have a guest post by one of my favorite bloggers on the web and I think I just pee’d a little in my excitement.

So, without further adieu… meet MommaKiss!
I’m married, have 2 lil Momma’s Boys [Big Kiss is 5 (06/05) and Lil Kiss is 3 (09/07)]. A Yooper (Upper Penninsula of MI) living on the East Coast. A CPA by trade (pays the bills) but wish I could earn a living by being creative (baking, sewing, printing). Clinically addicted to Photoshop and should own stock in Kodak for all the GD pictures I take. I swear (some) so if you’re not into that, I’m cool. Just move along.  (Follow MommaKiss on Twitter @MommaKiss).

I swear to GAH, this whole ‘no access to blog’ at work is just the biggest downer ever.

Whatever.

I’m making up my own MeMe. Because, you know, it’s all stuff I wanna know about others. So I’ll go first.

1. Coffee or soda in the morning?
COFFEE. Preferably of the snickerdoodle variety, if not, butter toffee or caramel flavor. But no sugar. Ew.

2. Ymail or Gmail?
Gmail for all things blog and shopping, but if you’re in w/ the cool kids, you get the yahoo addy. I’m selective.

3. Honesty or little white lies?
Come on now, you know I tell it like it is.

4. Toilet paper roll over the top or from the bottom?
100% over the top. Any other way is just impossible.

5. Wine or beer?
Um, both! DUH!

6. Sex… Front? Back? Top? Bottom?
Yes. HA! Top and never ever up the poop chute. That is EXIT ONLY. I have those exact words tattooed on my lower back. my own tramp stamp if you will.

7. Related: Rock the pizza slice bush or brazillian?
Hairless here. Just like KimKard.

8. Cowboys or clowns?
Cowboys. In assless chaps. Clowns are fucking assholes.

9. Talk on the phone or text?
I HATE talking on the phone. Especially to babblers. Main exception is my momma.

10. Forgive and forget or forgive, but hold a grudge?
This is a hard one. I have a hard time forgiving in the first place, so if I allow myself the forgiveness, I typically forget.
Wasn’t that SUPER FUN? Wanna play along? Feel free!

Could give a shit? Don’t care!

There’s a fresh, hot, Cinnabun in my oven and the timer’s set for January. January 6th to be exact. Although, taking into consideration the way the eclair and the danish cooked up… we’ll need to be prepared by December 1st, at the latest.

*Star wars theme inspired by Princess Leia’s cinnamon roll hair, of course.

I have waited to make the “official” announcement due to many factors, the main one being that my pregnancies always seem to be as much fun as a cake-less birthday party and as difficult as pushing a car with square wheels up a hill – both ways in the snow, of course. In other words, I wasn’t sure we were gonna make it this far and once that card has been dealt… well, you’ve licked the back of it and stuck it to your forehead. Continue reading

Drum roll please…

I am so excited to announce that Modern Mamaz will be releasing a new T-Shirt line come September! Final touches are being made as we speak (or, as I speak, poor little fella’s can’t get a word in edgewise). Check out Modern Mamaz on Facebook for regular updates and to get the first peek at the designs as they come in! The image below is the first being released… just think of it as me sticking my foot out of the curtain to a saxaphone playing and in red stilettos. Ba ba bing! So, without further ado… Continue reading
