Everybody loves photos of the newborn baby sleeping sweetly or looking contentedly awake, but how difficult is it to actually achieve those photos and are there tricks to getting the baby to lay so contentedly? As a lifestyle newborn photographer, and a mom to three, I have learned a few things over the years that have helped me in my newborn sessions and I am sharing those with you here today.
Read MoreI first met the McGrath family for their maternity photos on a chilly January day. They welcomed a beautiful baby girl in March and we did their newborn photos in their newly remodeled home.
Read MoreThe weather is finally warming up, blooms are budding and the ground is taking life again. Spring is a beautiful time for family photos and my favorite season in Boise. But perhaps one of your first questions is, “What should we wear?”
Read MoreA few weeks ago I hosted a series of motherhood mini sessions and my goal with these session was to capture moms in their element; playing and interacting with their kids as well as loving on and being loved on by their kids.
Read MoreThis session was a chilly one, but you wouldn’t know it because Milla’s warm and fun personality brought all the heat! A soon to be graduate of Boise High School, Milla was an honor to photograph for her senior portraits.
Read MoreJust when you are going to be an all girl family, you are surprised with a baby boy to add to the family! This family waited until the birth to find out the gender of their baby, and even though mama was convinced it would be another girl, all three of the sisters said they thought it would be a boy and OH BOY they were right!
Read MorePhotography is an art, there is no doubt about that, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t technique and technical aspects to master. There are definitely considerations when it comes to the difference between amateur and professional photography
Read MoreIf I could have a winter full of newborn sessions where I can stay out of the cold and get to snuggle all the newborn babes, I would be a happy photographer. Corbin’s newborn shoot was no exception.
Read MoreThe sun in this session is deceiving because it was very cold and windy, but that didn’t stop us from getting some adorable shots of this soon to be big brother and his parents.
Read MoreLoni reached out to me a year ago about doing their family photos. She told me they were moving to Idaho over the summer and she knew she wanted to find a photographer to continue their tradition of doing family photos in the fall. I was honored that she chose me and we set a date for the end of October.
Read MoreThere is something especially sweet about a newborn session during Christmas and this one was no exception. Big brother was so sweet with baby brother and loved getting to hold him for some of the pictures.
Read MoreThe fall colors in Boise were really popping for this maternity session. Fall is really something special in Boise, but it goes by fast!
Read MoreFall is such a beautiful season for engagement photos and this engagement session had all the cozy and cuddly vibes that a fall session should.

Read MoreThe evening of this maternity session one of those random Boise summer storms rolled in. The weather app showed it ending before we were scheduled to start and so I was banking on that being the case.
Read MoreI got to meet this tiny peanut on a Thursday afternoon, exactly one month after I met the Jones’ for their maternity shoot. We just barely sneaked in some maternity photos before sweet Josephine made her appearance.
Read MoreOne thing I love about summer shoots in Boise is the beautiful wildflowers that pop up sometimes unexpectedly all over the valley and especially the foothills.
Read MoreSummertime might just be one of my favorite seasons for family portraits for the variety of lush locations there are to choose from. This family has three girls and so a flower farm seemed like the perfect fit for their family portraits.
