I had the pleasure of meeting the Arnold family’s baby boy on a cloudy afternoon in their beautiful Boise North End home. We had plans to shoot some photos in their home and then head to the foothills for the rest of the session, but as soon as we stepped outside it started raining.

This maternity session is a great example of how light colored, neutral outfits help the subjects stand out against the background. This session took place right around the transition from summer to fall here in Boise and so we ended up having a mix of greens as well as oranges, yellows and reds in the background.

Whether you are shopping for yourself (shhhh I won’t tell) or to gift to the photographer on your list, this guide has my top picks for gifts for the professional photographer.

Savanah wanted to do her newborn session in a studio and had a vision for a fun and intimate session with her husband. For this session I got to try out a new(ish) studio in Boise and it did not disappoint!

Lifestyle newborn sessions are typically in my clients homes, however the beauty of a lifestyle session is you can really do it anywhere, and lately I have been loving outdoor newborn sessions.

I first met the Henault family when I did their family photos last fall. I saw them again when I did a motherhood session with Alex and her daughter last spring, and so I was thrilled when she contacted me over the summer and told me she was expecting and wanted me to do maternity and newborn photos!

I first meet Ali and Jacob for their maternity photos earlier in the summer, and it was so fun to see them again in their beautiful home, this time as a family of three!

The end of the summer is a favorite time of year for senior portraits. The weather is still warm, the sun is shining, you have a golden end of summer tan and you can wear whatever outfits you want(versus having to put on layers and layers to keep warm).
