downtown boise Lifestyle Branding Photography | Earth home eco cleaning

I love Boise. As far as I’m concerned I live in one of the very best places in the world. To me Boise is a very balanced place and it brings together a great combination of an amazing community, access to nature and excellent livability. It’s a place I’m proud to be raising my family, proud to be building a business and proud to be a part of this amazing city.

While Boise is certainly a city, to me it feels more like a town, where everyone knows each other, and I love this about Boise. It’s really uncommon for me to get on a call with a lead for my business and for us to not have some mutual contact in common.

Why am I rambling on about Boise? Before Earth Home Eco Cleaning was my client, we had hired them to clean our home and they did an amazing job and used natural cleaners which was so important to us for our family members and our creatures.

This made me even more excited to work with them when the owner Celicia reached out to me about a lifestyle branding photoshoot. In the pre-production process we decided we wanted to use some iconic Boise locations, we landed on the Boise train depot, downtown Boise, Hyde Park and the Boise Foothills. This was in addition to a private home in the north end that we used, where I photographed Celicia’s team as they actually cleaned the home.

We also chose to bring in a family and do lifestyle family photos with them in the Boise Foothills. In our planning process we talked about part of marketing a home cleaning business is showcasing the lifestyle that hiring a home cleaner brings, which means spending more time with your family in the outdoors.

What really made this photoshoot shine was the people. The Earth Home Eco Cleaning team was incredible, they really brought their true selves, had fun with the photoshoot and I left the photoshoot inspired about what we had created, and feeling grateful to work with such a great team of people.

Celicia, thank you for trusting me with this project. If you’re in need of a branding photoshoot, hit me up, I’ve got dates open in mid-late February, and spring dates are also booking up quickly, click here to contact me.

Adventure Lifestyle archery hunting Photography in the Sawtooth Mountains | Stanley Idaho Tourism PhotoShoot

Back in mid-September I spent a full day working for The Stanley Sawtooth Chamber of Commerce up in the beautiful Sawtooth Mountains. The Sawtooths are truly one of my favorite places in Idaho and for that matter in the world. Part of planning these adventure tourism photoshoots is planning really well around the light, which is tricky because of the big jagged mountains in all directions, but I have some incredible tools that allow me to see exactly what the light is going to be like, even when I’m planning all the way down in Boise.

Typically on these shoots for the Stanley Chamber I work with anywhere from 5-8+ businesses per full day of photography. The chamber and I together have developed a system that works really well for us to make sure we maximize the variation of content we create on any given day.

I started the morning off at sunrise with a lifestyle archery hunting photoshoot at an undisclosed top secret location :), with an amazing view of The Sawtooth Mountains.

Scott with Idaho Rocky Mountain Ranch, the archer in these photos and I 4x4’d our way up a steep hill in an electric Polaris side by side before sunrise, for this spectacular view of the Sawtooths. The morning was cool and crisp, and the light was incredible.

One of my favorite thing about doing these photoshoots for Stanley, and really all photoshoots, is the awesome people I get to meet and spend time with. Scott was so great and generous with his time, and I was only able to use this amazing location because of him (but he did say it is available to use on other commercial photoshoots, so if you’re interested in using it, hit me up).

We shared stories of our mountain biking crashes and broken bones as we wandered around taking photos in the hills with this spectacular background.

I’ll let the photos tell the story from here, but for reference we were able to take all of these photos (and more) in only 45 minutes, excellent planning makes all of the difference.

Tremendous thank you to Scott for his generosity on his time and helping me figure out an amazing location and thank you to the Stanley Sawtooth Chamber of Commerce for trusting me with this project.
