It’s that time of year when lots of families are thinking about scheduling fall family portraits. I think if 2020 has taught us anything—as if we didn’t know it before—it is that life is unpredictable. We truly never know what tomorrow brings, and capturing your family at this particular time in your life will become more valuable over time. And …
During a lifestyle newborn session, I spend some time being more of a fly on the wall and capturing moments as they would happen as if I wasn’t there. Miss M was just the sweetest baby, and the love her parents have for her and each other was so clear the day we met. I loved being able to capture …
I love being an Idaho baby photographer and have photographed this little cutie since she was a bump in her mama’s belly. How can it be there she’s a year old already?! It was fun to capture her early toddling steps and see how’s she’s grown and changed since her newborn and six month sessions. I love that her mama …
This senior girl session was near and dear to my heart as I’ve known this beauty since she was around 3 years old. I’m thankful for the wonderful friendships and special people in my life these years since I planted roots in Idaho. I had such a great time with Miss R and her mom during this senior girl session …
This sweet newborn baby boy was such a joy to photograph. Most of my subjects this summer have been kids, cattle and sheep as we’ve been traveling to shows for the past few months. ;0) (And yes, still need to edit/post those photos.) It’s fun capturing those moments for sure, but anytime I can meet a new little one and …
I’ve enjoyed photographing this family for a few years now, watching them welcome their first son, then their second. They both own small businesses, and I was thrilled when they first contacted me to schedule a newborn session. They had never had a family session and it worked out perfectly to schedule one for the end of fall. Enjoy the …
Aww, such a sweet family. It’s always fun getting them in front of my camera, capturing the girls’ personalities and the love they have for each other. As a Nampa, Idaho, family photographer, I find out what kind of session my clients want during our initial consultation. We spend time visiting about what the family (usually mom) wants out of …
Oh, this girl. She leaves a little sparkle wherever she goes. We’ve said that about her since day one and we can’t imagine our life without her. She definitely brings a liveliness to our family. I love her smile and her laugh. I can’t believe she hit double digits this spring. Where has the time gone? I have to admit …
Loved having this little guy and his beautiful mama in my studio a couple weeks ago. He’s grown so much since his lifestyle newborn session. A 6 month old baby is one of my favorites to photograph! Babies have discovered their fingers and toes, they are usually sitting by themselves and rolling over as well. And they are definitely smiling …
Meet Miss Dana. Senior 2015… I’ve know this senior girl and her family for years, so I was extremely excited to take her senior portraits. And our session together didn’t disappoint. I had so much fun with her and her mom exploring her family’s ranch and special places in the area. Not only is she smart, talented and beautiful, she’s …
I love photographing babies and this wee one was no exception. I love going to a client’s home, where the family is comfortable, to capture all the details of a brand new baby, as well as the sweet moments that happen in between. Congrats to the M family for their sweet little girl. Excited to watch her grow!
This little guy is one of my baby planners and these are his 6 month photos. I love being able to capture kids as newborns in a lifestyle session at their home surrounded by their loving family, then again when they have reached that fun sitting, playing with fingers and toes stage, and finally around their first birthday as they …
The reason I do this; the reason I love photography is the opportunity to tell stories. Stories of hope. Kyle’s story is definitely one of hope. Last summer, 17-year-old Kyle decided to use his upcoming senior project to give back to an organization that helped he and his family through a difficult time as he faced a …
So, you’ve decided you want a family portrait session. Now what?! Here are some family photo session tips to consider. Studio vs. On location. The first thing I recommend is deciding what type of portrait you want. Are you looking for a studio setting or something on location? I know many studio photographers who are amazing at what they do. I …
I’m excited to share this newborn lifestyle photography session from this sweet family! I met Karli through another photographer and a mutual friend, Amber. Those two girlies are best friends, and I can see why. They are some of the most genuine, easiest-to-talk to ladies I’ve ever met. I feel like we can visit about anything, even though we …
I just love it when a vision for a “Your Story” senior session comes together. I knew Lindsay was an avid reader-she loves mystery and romance novels-a girl after my own heart! And I thought what fun it would be to have her senior session in a bookstore. And it was fun! We also ventured outside to enjoy a beautiful …
One of the best parts of doing family photography is getting to know my clients–––learning who’s quiet and reserved or who loves the camera, while bringing out the best in each, watching them interact as a family and share moments, seeing who they are and why each one is special to the other. It’s a great gift to be let …
Oh, how I love designing these “Your Story” albums for clients! And when the finished product arrives, they always blow me away. I’ve found a great album company to work with that does a tremendous job creating these heirloom products. The leather is so soft and beautiful. The pages are printed on the highest quality photographic paper. They are also …
I love, love, love meeting new clients, especially first time parents! There is something so beautiful about seeing a couple become a family. These two are so in love with their baby girl. And, Little Baby E is simple beautiful. It was great to visit with them about their families, welcoming the first grandbaby, what they enjoy best about being …
