Back in March we crowned our 2024 chunky baby winner and now we’re excited to share the beautiful images from our their fall family photoshoot! This adorable family won our grand prize, which included a complimentary family photoshoot and a $1000 gift card towards artwork. They opted to wait to use their prize just last week while the Boise colors were at their best. The results are simply beautiful (in our humble opinon), and we can’t wait to show you!
A Perfect Fall Evening at Military Reserve
We met up with Andrew and his family on this gorgeous October evening at Military Reserve in Boise. The Elephant Rock trail was showing off with all its fall colors, and we couldn’t have asked for a better backdrop.
Family Fun and Giggles Galore
As we wandered along the trail, it was like Mother Nature pulled out all the stops for us. Golden leaves, rich oranges, deep reds – the works! And our little Chunky Baby winner? Still rocking those adorable chubby cheeks, but now he’s got some moves too! Andrew and his big sister were absolute stars, filling our hike with giggles and the cutest curious looks.
We caught so many sweet moments – the family walking hand-in-hand, playing little games, and just soaking in the beauty of our Boise foothills. The evening light was doing that magical glowy thing, and it just made everything feel extra special.
More Than Just a Photoshoot
You know how we always say photos are more than just images? This session really drove that home. Watching Andrew and his sister explore, seeing the love between all of them – it was like bottling up a perfect autumn day to keep forever. These aren’t just photos; they’re little time capsules of joy.
We can’t wait to see how they display these in their home. (And between you and me, I might have a few favorites I’m rooting for!)
