I’ve always believed in the importance of photography — it’s how we hold onto the love, happiness, and in-between moments that make your family yours. It began 22 years ago, when I wanted to capture every laugh, every expression, every tiny detail of what my kids were doing before it slipped away.
Today, as a Boise photographer, I get to do the same for families like yours — capturing newborn snuggles, silly kid adventures, iconic senior milestones, and the everyday magic that deserves to be remembered.
I’m a portrait photographer living in Boise, a mom, and a believer that kids are the coolest humans on the planet. My kids grew up faster than I ever thought possible. One minute they were running through the backyard and the next they’d flown the nest. It’s why I believe so strongly in capturing every stage, before it slips away.
Over the years, that passion has led me to earn a Master of Photography degree, collect a few international awards, and to be published in some national magazines — but honestly, the recognition matters less to me than making sure families have artwork they love living with every day.
These days, my nest is empty so I dote on my two doodles: Opal and Olaf (he's my soul dog). Outside of photography, I’m a Disney fanatic, a book nerd, and an Enneagram 7 who thrives on joy, adventure, and connection. I LOVE to laugh and my big, booming laugh usually inspires more fits of laughter for all those around me. Through it all, my greatest love has always been my family, and that’s why helping you celebrate yours means so much to me.
As an international award-winning and published photographer, I obtained my Master of Photography Degree from Professional Photographers of America in 2019. I've served as a Boise family photographer since 2006 and specialize in family portraits, including newborns, kids, and seniors. The studio is located in Boise, Idaho and also serves Meridian, Eagle, Star, and the surrounding areas.
That means you — your memories, your experiences, your family. I will fiercely protect your family’s story because who you are, and the love you share, will always matter most.
I celebrate the qualities that make us different. There’s beauty in diversity, and I’m committed to showing the world how each family’s story is one-of-a-kind and worth remembering.
I find joy just about everywhere. It might be in the retelling of a dad joke (puns are my love language) or the silly face a child makes at their sibling. I will laugh, loudly, often and with wild abandon because I believe that life should be fun.
I believe in ...
Making family portraits fun, stress-free, and full of connection. No stiff poses, just real moments you’ll actually want to remember — the kind of photography families love most.
I'm not about ...
Quick, forgettable sessions and files that never leave your phone. Your family's moments deserve more than that.
You can expect ...
A guided, easy process that takes the pressure off you and keeps your whole family comfortable, happy, and relaxed — the kind of experience that has made me a trusted Boise photographer.
The best part ...
You’ll walk away with heirloom portraits and custom artwork that celebrate your family every single day — not just when you scroll past them.
